Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with very comfortable beds but lacks fresh air or views. The service is excellent, especially in housekeeping. The location is convenient, near the main bus terminus near the Triton fountain, making it easy to access city sights and facilities. The dining experience includes refreshments with limited choices. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with great service and a convenient location.
The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the old town with views of the harbor. The rooms offer high-quality toiletries and a lovely balcony, but the lack of proper vertical windows on higher floors may be a concern. The service is top-notch with excellent housekeeping. The dining experience, orchestrated by a master Italian chef, includes freshly made sandwiches but be wary of the weird 'cooked' sausages. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a great area to relax in.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and drawbacks. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, offering a private terrasse and lovely amenities, yet lacking fresh air and a view. The service was top-notch, especially from the housekeeping staff. The location was central with easy access to Valletta's main bus station and city attractions, but unfortunately lacked some aesthetic appeal. While the dining experience had some hits with grilled dishes, the weird 'cooked' sausages and limited choices left room for improvement. Overall, the facilities were functional, providing what was necessary for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the city, offering easy access to everything you need for a city break or longer getaway. While the rooms lack proper vertical windows and views, they are meticulously designed with attention to the smallest details. The terrace adds a nice touch, although fresh air may be limited. The service is exceptional, with top-notch housekeeping. Dining by a master Italian chef is included, but there are limited choices and some dishes may be unconventional. Overall, the facilities are modern and well-maintained.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and excellent service from the staff. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city. The dining experience had some limitations, but the homemade soups were a highlight. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable, offering good value for money overall.
