We had a good stay at Block. The room is not big, but not as small as a typical London hotel room. The windows only go to a ventilation shaft. But the bed is big and comfortable andre the shower has lovely hot water and pressure.
The crew is very helpful and friendly. The location in Xlendi is great. I also appreciate that they reach out about the small rooms after booking.
But please be aware that the noise of the party on ground and top floor is intense, also in the rooms. They stop at midnight sharp, but if you want to go to bed before that, you cannot be a light sleeper.
All in all: would stay again, as long as I'm in a party mood.

BLOCK hotel is simply lovely. Cosy base for Gozo. Quiet in winter months but wonderful scenery. South west Gozo has stunning cliffs and walks. Victoria the capital is nearby with buses thence to the whole island. I had the most relaxing time. Room was quiet, no window but not needed as only slept there. Food was amazing and barman and waitress charming. Live entertainment Thu-Sunday and a real hub for divers, if that is what you are into (Not me but seemed like a super professional set up). Highly rate BLOCK, would definitely go back and definitely recommend.

Wonderful Xlendi is a lovely quiet spot. BLOCK is an amazing hotel, albeit some decorating and refurbishment going on but very carefully managed. Studio suite was fantastic. Great size great facilities and just lovely. Fab bed and lovely sofa. All just right. Xlendi is easy to get to from Victoria station. Some great walks nearby if you don’t mind heights…..seemingly I did. Cliffs on walk to Sannat a bit high for me and was relieved to head inland after. Views were spectacular.
A very safe region. Calm and quiet.
Malta is really coming into its element and Gozo is also gearing up for increased tourism.
Service and food at hotel is great too with fabulous Universal coffee. Great range of drinks and craft beers if you drink alcohol and fantastic live evening entertainment.
Highly recommend BLOCK.

What an excellent choice and fantastic value for what is on offer and definitely compared to similar price range.
I particularly commend the reception staff/front desk hotel manager, who went beyond the call of duty to ensure they were helpful and exceeded my expectations. Bravo and please keep up the great work.
I definitely will return and recommend this hotel to family and friends for the experience.
Yours Sincerely

The breakfast was a fixed plate but good an enough.
The room was with a window but it was 0,5 meters from a wall an no natural daylight. So it should be listed as a no window room.
But the price was good so I still recommend the hotel.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und angenehm. Das Zimmer war auf den ersten Blick sauber, jedoch bei genauerem Hinschauen, besonders im Bad nicht mehr so sauber. Pool auf dem Dach war kalt aber gepflegt.

Huoneisto oli siisto, aamiainen oli khuvä, mutta kaikesta lisästä kahvin jälkeen piti maksaa. Hotelli ottaa 100e , en ole saanut rahojani takaisin vielä.
