I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with a view to die for, but there was a strange smell of urine especially in the bathroom floor. Despite that, the room was spotless and had everything I needed, including a large balcony overlooking the Mediterranean and St Pauls Bay. The hotel is a bit tired and dated but overall clean and cozy.

The service was excellent! The staff were very friendly and a hive of useful information. Mary Rose stands out as the one who fixes everything when things go wrong. They were really cheerful and took pride in their work. I would certainly come back with my family to the same hotel. The full continental breakfast or paying a little extra for a full English was really good value for money.

The location was great with a beautiful view to the sea and looking onto the fishing port. Despite being a bit far from the airport, the hotel is nice and quiet with great views across to St Paul's Island from the sea view rooms and from the restaurant.
Dining

The dining experience was plentiful with a wide choice from Full English to Continental, but it was the same every day. I did n't bother much with it in the end. I informed the kitchen staff about leaving early and asked for a packed breakfast the next day.

Our stay at the hotel was truly memorable with spacious and comfortable rooms offering breathtaking views of St Paul's Bay and Islands. The service was exceptional, with staff always ready to help. However, there were unfortunate cleanliness issues in some areas and ongoing construction work nearby. The location was convenient with easy access to dining options and transportation.

The hotel offers light and airy rooms with stunning bay views. Daily room service is a plus, although some cleanliness issues were noted in the shower and walls. Service was hit or miss, with helpful and friendly staff, but instances of nonexistent service. The location is ideal, close to amenities with great bay views, though cleanliness might be a concern. Dining provided a good variety of choices but with some quality issues. Overall, a mixed experience with beautiful views and some room for improvement.
