Clean and spacious, with good facilities. Staff were polite and generally helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good. The pool and poolside area is independent from the hotel and reached through a tunnel under the main road. You have to get a reservation ticket to use the sunbeds, and only a proportion of the sunbeds are allowed for hotel users. We asked for adjoining and if possible connecting rooms in advance, and received an acknowledgement of this: "room allocations next to each other is subject to availability on the day of your arrival. While we cannot guarantee it, we will certainly take a note of your request and do our best to accommodate you." On arrival we were assigned rooms that were 4 floors apart, one of which had a connecting door to another room. How hard is it for a modern hotel to reserve two adjoining or connecting rooms in advance? We consider this poor customer service; very disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was beautifully decorated, with all the comforts we'd expect and more. The amenities at the hotel are great. Use of the gym for free was a real bonus for us and one of the main reasons for booking. It's a fantastic facility. Access to the outdoor pool at Manta was straightforward and another great bonus. However, the service at Manta leaves a lot to be desired, though I accept this is not likely anything to do with the hotel.

Good location. Really impressed with the room and breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Never quite worked out where the hotel parking was - but very close to a public car park which is a lot cheaper than hotel (6 vs 15 euros) - only downside is you have to move your car every day.

The hotel is located in Sliema. All tours from the boats and buses leave from there. You have access to beach club pool and nice gym for free. Plus, the breakfast buffet is awesome!! Lots of options. There a variety of options for lunch and dinner a few minutes down the street. I highly recommend this hotel. It’s new and modern. The staff was amazing.
