the breakfast offered a lot of options, and everything i had was delicious.

The air conditioning in my room did not work properly. The staff could not fix it, so it defaulted to 28°c. there were slippers from previous guests by the sofa, along with fake rose petals and dust bunnies under it.

The room was clean. The breakfast buffet had a good selection of items, AND the staff kept it well-stocked. The rooftop pool offered a nice space to relax. The location is pretty convenient for accessing nearby attractions.

The gym is quite small. It only had a few pieces of equipment. The soundproofing was not ideal. I could hear noise from the hallway at times. The decor in the room felt a LITTLE dated. the television offered a very limited selection of channels.

great selectionhelpful staffworn towelsstair climb

The breakfast had a great selection. I found the staff to be very helpful. The view from the sundeck and pool on the roof pleased me. The location felt fantastic as it was near Balluta Bay. It took only a short walk to reach it.

We had to carry our suitcases up the stairs. The towels were worn and discolored. I think they need to be replaced.
