Didnt like the fact that they didnt suppy water gym on 1 person in at a time, couldn't take towels to pool, no shampoo in bathroom, called down to fix the leaking water in toilet and no one came to fix it. One light out in the room upon arrival and the fridge was leaking. There was also water on the floor had to put a towel down so my mum wouldn't fall.

Average hotel

The hotel had a good breakfast buffet and dinner was reasonable priced I ate it once. I only stayed due to the good value per night and it been a 4 star, its not of 4 star standard in Ireland but I guess you dont need much to be a 4 star in Malta.

Very good customer service, staff was attentive and helpful. Transport from hotel was very safe and convenient. Busses ran on time and on a whole everything was cost effective, especially the shop within the hotel. Also the hotel decor is fitting regarding the time it was built. There are mordern hotels in the area, but it is obvious these buildings have been built recently and cannot be compared to Bella Vista Hotel.

Staff were exceptional. The hotel is a little out of the way from bars / restaurants / Activities. (Except for the park across the road). Also parking is difficult (it always is in Malta though). Sitting outside the front is very noisy due to busy road. The pool area is fine.

This hotel is in a great location close to shops and promenade with an easy access to buses and other locations by car The room was thoroughly cleaned everywhere including washing the floor and make the beds look pretty. The breakfast was nice and I like the idea of being served rather than self service. This makes it more hygienic. Evening entertainment was great and the bar staff were really friendly. Will definitely return. Also liked the shop near the reception. Friendly lady served us and the prices are reseobable.

The hotel offered us everything we expected. We were half board and found the food varied and plentiful. The room was clean and had a fridge and kettle,however no tea or coffee provided. The bed was comfortable.There was a hairdryer. Hot water was instant and always available. The hotel has several bus stops around and is within walking distance of the sea front. The staff were very efficient ,polite and friendly. My only criticism is that our room had very little daylight but we didn't spend that much time inside!

Where do I start?! There was nowhere quiet to sit and relax in the evening, the only refuge (the roof patio) was locked for maintenance after the first couple of days. Coming in on one evening there was a full-blown disco going on in the main reception/sitting area. The elevators were out of service for several days, we were told to use the service elevator and shared it with laundry several times. The queue for breakfast started with waiting to be sat at a table, then more queuing for each of the food bars. It was still being handled as if Covid restrictions applied and instead of being help-yourself it was dished out by a busy server behind the covid panels. I had to ask 3 times for a lightbulb for my night light - seriously unhappy to be ready to drop off to sleep only to have to get out of bed to turn the main light off. No hair drier, drawers or anywhere to put my suitcase in my room. The bed was up against walls on 2 sides so all entry/exit to the bed was via one side which dipped alarmingly where it had been used so much. Tiny window with frosted glass, so the room was constantly dark. The heating was only effective after it had been on for ages and the bathroom never benefitted. It was awful.
