The hotel's location is excellent, offering a quiet retreat despite being in a bustling area. Both the hotel and rooms are very spacious and well-equipped. However, check-in and check-out required queuing, and a credit card deposit was needed. Also, the breakfast buffet didn't quite meet five-star hotel standards.

Beautiful hotel: location is perfect (very close to the main street where activities occur). The view from out room was nice. Service is great.

Everything was great! Only critique is plug sockets weren't accessible from the bed which was a little inconvenient

I would definitely not rate this hotel as 5star, expected a little luxury but was very disappointed. Room was spacious but looked more like a 3 star travelodge very dated with basic amenities. Shower was far from a power shower with cheap shower curtain. Loose floor tiles without grouting. Phone had obviously fallen of at some point and just plastered back on with paint. Light didn't always work in the room so make sure you have a light on your phone. Bed frame peeling 😩 If you go for a swim in the pool there are no showering facilities or changing rooms prepare to pay €15 to use them along with the small sauna or walk back to your room with wet swimming costume. Breakfast was very basic and not very tasty just mass produced cheap produce. If you want an espresso you need to pay extra only standard filter coffee and tea available. Floor 4 was near to the Indian restaurant and the cooking smell became very over bearing at times.

Staff welcoming. Bed was comfortable, but mildew smell and weak air conditioning. Showing its age.

While the hotel has certainly seen better days, we still enjoyed a comfortable 3-day stay. We were looking for a location close to the city's main attractions and a nice outdoor pool, and the hotel delivered perfectly on both counts. The hotel's private beach option is also a big plus, and the overall poolside service was excellent. Our room was spacious – I believe it would also be ideal for extended stays – with ample storage, a comfortable desk, an armchair, a table, and a balcony furnished with a table and chairs. The room's excellent soundproofing was particularly important to us. However, there were a few downsides: 1. We strongly advise against booking the room with breakfast. While there appeared to be a wide selection, nothing was truly noteworthy. The products were of very poor quality and heavily processed, including terrible white bread with no dark or wholemeal options. The cold cuts looked distinctly unappetizing (also heavily processed), and the powdered egg dishes were tragic. Even the fruit was either tasteless or from a can. Our daily saviors ended up being plain boiled eggs, tomatoes, and lettuce ;) We significantly overpaid and wasted considerable time queuing in the breakfast room. Given the chance, we would definitely skip it next time, head out for sightseeing earlier, and use the budget for breakfast in town or an early lunch. 2. Security Deposit – It's been two weeks since our stay ended, and the hotel still hasn't refunded our security deposit. We didn't incur any in-room charges, yet the hotel is still holding onto our funds. Contacting the hotel hasn't resolved the issue, and we are still awaiting the refund. For a 7-night stay, the deposit would amount to 350 euros, which I believe is a significant sum for many people.

Lovely hotel, staff very good and friendly. Service at pool very good one day and very bad another day. Lovely to be able to swim in Med from man made beach...could make it more comfy under foot. Very close to valette entry bridge.... 5 min walk.. Outside toilet out of use and disgusting but not blocked off and no signage. Wasn't a nice find! Jacuzzi too cold....same as pool.
