The hotel is ideally located for local shops, restaurants and bars. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast was excellent. The bedrooms are modern but the downstairs areas could do with a lick of paint.

The staff were very helpful and incredibly friendly. We stayed in the penthouse, and the only things we felt were missing were a parasol and a way to dim or turn off the lights in the evening. The breakfast was excellent, though sometimes the plate was cleared away before we’d even finished the last bite, which felt a bit rushed. I can highly recommend this place!

The location is wonderful, right across the street from the ocean. Friendly staff, great breakfast, lovely pool. Complimentary wine, snacks, and water in the room, along with bathrobes and slippers! There is also a bar upstairs by the pool which serves food throughout the day and has entertainment several nights a week. A great hotel and would definitely stay again!

The hotel is in a great location and is only a 15 minute walk to the ferries for both Gozo and Valletta. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. The housekeeping was second to none, always cleaned the room and changed the towels every two days. The breakfast which was included in our package was suitable for everyone with fresh fruit, hot cooked food and plenty of hot drinks.

Breakfast was very good, great variety and friendly staff. The welcome drink on arrival is a nice touch. But room was very small, balcony not useable. Room was dark and depressing.

Great hotel. We had a spacious triple room which was clean and had everything we needed. The reception staff were very helpful. Breakfast was ok, the first morning was incredibly busy and staff were not helpful in finding tables for guests or asking people to wait until tables were available, there were many people walking about with breakfast but no table to sit at. The other mornings were less busy so no issues in getting a table at breakfast. The pool area was nice, it could be improved by having the bar open for drinks/snacks. Overall a lovely stay!

Everything was wonderful. The room was spacious, with a direct sea view, and fully equipped. The breakfast was excellent, and the hotel's location is fantastic, easily accessible from there to most areas of Mata by bus. Most importantly, the reception and restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
