"There is a bus stop near the hotel called "Xemxija", which easily takes you to either Popeye Village, or to the senter of St. Paul's Bay and more."

“In my opinion, this is a comfortable, unpretentious base for exploring Malta, and its position in Xemxija Bay means many rooms command genuinely impressive sea views. The location works well, with easy access to the main bus routes for reaching Valletta or the Gozo ferry. It's the kind of place where the excellent coffee at breakfast and the friendly staff are what you'll remember most.”
