Reviews and Ratings
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.
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.
