Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are comfortable and stylish, but could benefit from light-proof curtains. The service, especially the breakfast staff, was exemplary and went the extra mile, although some areas seemed a bit disorganized. The location is unbeatable for exploring Valletta, being very central. The dining experience was excellent with a wide selection, though they could use more staff during peak hours. Overall, a great stay but with some minor areas for improvement.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay in terms of location and service. The rooms were a bit small but impeccably clean and equipped with everything you could need, a true steal given the quality. The friendliness and efficiency of the breakfast staff were a major highlight, setting a positive tone for the day.
The hotel has a great central location in the heart of Valletta. The rooms could benefit from darker curtains for better sleep quality, but they were ready ahead of check-in time. The service was exceptional, especially with quick rooftop assistance. The dining offered superb choices but at times lacked sufficient staff presence. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room improvements needed.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although beautiful, were small and noisy due to their front location. The service, especially the quick service up to the rooftop, made up for it with outstanding and genuinely friendly staff. The location was perfect for exploring the city but faced issues with bookings on a busy Saturday. The dining was nice but faced challenges with staff availability during peak times.
