The classic aesthetic gives it a warm, elegant feel. My room was very spacious, and the view was genuinely beautiful — definitely a highlight of the stay. I also loved the spa; it was relaxing, well-kept, and a great addition to the overall experience. The convenient beach access is another major plus, making it easy to enjoy without any hassle. While keeping the old charm, some amenities, however, feel a bit outdated. The automatic room lights, elevator security system, and bath amenities could use a more modern, functional refresh to match today’s standards. Still, the overall comfort, character, and excellent location make this hotel a very enjoyable place to stay. With a little updating, it could easily elevate its already pleasant experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22251552-7be9-4209-a112-a0dd965f0363-1764421111395.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/69e0351c-976e-4444-9887-4b70b3f44040-1764421111804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b9cbadc-4b55-4c43-a5f4-c395e336c875-1764421111355.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cefc9e9-7a10-411b-8cbd-0776d4aacf3e-1764421113166.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice, not enough shaded areas, umbrellas not used when windy, need more bamboo covering ##### Colin Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great venue for a stay in Valetta Lovely traditional hotel, very plush with multiple bars and restaurants. Excellent breakfast four range. Great service. Large indoor and outdoor pools, we always managed to get sun beds, but there were noticeable towels on beds in prime locations which were unused for long periods, very annoying!
