The hotel is in a brilliant location, just a few streets away from the main part of Valletta for food, drinks and shopping but quiet enough on a busy night too. The Owner and staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our hotel room was clean, tidy and had all the amenities you would need, the bathroom was decorated to a high standard. The storage room for luggage was exceptionally helpful on our last day for a late flight. The best part was the rooftop terrace, such a lovely place to relax and unwind.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (238 reviews)

Staff were exceptional, lovey warm welcome and helpful with anything we needed, towels provided for the pool and beach that was a bonus. We had a room on the 3rd floor with a small high window with no view but we expected that being in the heart of Silema, room was spacious with everything we needed, air in was good if a wee bit noisy but that may be because we’re not used to sitcom from Scotland! The roof top with pool was a lovely treat, my only disappointment was that the pool bar was not available on the day we used it due to that fact there was a forecast of rain, it didn't rain until after 10pm and there was no other bar service in the hotel to get a wee cocktail to start our holiday. There was a vending machine with water, sodas, snacks and a wine bar across the road, but no external food or drink allowed by the pool. Breakfast had hot and cold options available so good to set you up for the day. Only a 5 minute walk to the Silema ferry’s and promenade and 7 minutes to st Julian’s bay so well located.
