“Hotel Calypso emphasizes its prime Marsalforn location, placing guests directly on the seafront with immediate access to Gozo's charm. Its key asset, in my view, is balancing genuine hospitality with a strong connection to local life-from its Gozitan culinary team to the celebrated Calypso Diving Centre. I appreciate the hotel's family-friendly atmosphere.”

totally RAD stay!

buffet selectionlarge roomswooden chairs

the breakfast buffet rocks hardcore, with so many options i stuffed myself silly. rooms are large, so spacious, and they totally helped me relax after exploring all day. i saw the sea, very beautiful!

the outside wooden chairs are not good. no cushions on them, so it's uncomfortable to sit for long periods.
