Its most horrible stay I had in Malta for past ten years. The did not even provide water. When I asked for refilling they said breakfast time is over they cannot provide any water. How come hotel do not allow to refill water any time. Staff is very rude and honestly do not recommend any one to stay here. Also their reception is on 8th Floor which is wierd.

Right in the heart of Malta's night club area, which is extremely busy every evening, particularly weekends. The hotel is very clean with helpful staff. The breakfast was good, but for some reason no fried eggs which I thought was odd.

Great value for money out of season

Very nice, light, airy, modern rooms - at the back very quiet and at the front not too noisy at all. I had one week in each location. Comfortable chair and table in the room, but the bathroom is a bit cramped. Very personable, helpful and committed staff. Good (and well priced) bar and room service menus, and an excellent breakfast with lots of choice (a hallmark of HIE). In February/March excellent value for money (EUR 65/75 a night B&B at the back/front including EUR 5 for fridge) - but looking forward to June/July for a follow up visit, the rate more than triples to nearly EUR 200 a night!

Great hotel, excellent staff and customer service.

Superb hotel, breakfast was lovely, rooms were excellent and clean. Spa access was a bonus. A special thanks to Mohani for looking after us. Whilst the hotel is in a busy area for nightlife, the hotel has super thick double glazing so noise wasn't an issue for us.
