fine viewharbor viewconvenient locationgreat locationunderground passagedirect accessparty feelpool atmospherebusy roadloud trafficnoisy surrounding

the view from my premium double or twin room sea view on the 11th floor was really fine. it overlooked the harbor and valletta. i enjoyed the convenient location to many great restaurants. i also accessed the beach club across the street through the underground passage.

I found the outdoor pool across the road attracting younger groups. They did not have their own pool access. this gave the pool area more of a party feel. it probably suits hen or stag groups, though it may not appeal to older guests looking for a peaceful retreat. the hotel is right next to a busy main road. It was loud even on the 8th floor.

The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. My room had a partial harbour view, and it was very nice! The reception staff were helpful and friendly. I felt welcome. The hotel provided a lovely cake and a complimentary gift upon arrival.

The outdoor pool is located across the road. I felt the pool had more of a party atmosphere. There were younger groups from nearby hotels. It wasn't the high-standard retreat i was expecting.
