    Breakfast was exactly the same during all stay (7 days), some renovations in the room would be a good improvement, room was cleaned daily but the linen was never changed

    Good location, nice staff, good facilities (swimming pool, spa etc)

    - Some staff were rude, for example at breakfast I asked where the condiments were and a man said OVER THERE OVER THERE and just pointed, then I thought it was self serve (there was no signs or anything) so I picked up tongs and the cook snatched them off me and just gave me a death stare without saying a word - Room wasn’t cleaned every day, there was one time where I asked them to come back later as I was getting ready so I left the please clean my room sign on my door as I went out for the day however when I came back later that evening it was the same as when I left - The room was also advertised as air-con but it wasn’t actually it was just a fan on the ceiling, mine of which was a MAJOR health and safety risk as it was hanging by a thread so I barely had it on and when I did it was on the lowest setting as I was worried it was going to fall off

    + Perfect location near shops, main square and bus station for access anywhere on the island + Cooked breakfast provided every morning and also the option of fruit, cereal, sweets etc + Towels provided on each room clean so I didn’t have to take my own with me + Solo trip so just for myself it was fine overall, however definitely not 4 star worthy

    The hotel is very outdated. The rooms furniture is old fashioned, broken chairs… Uncomfortable mattress. One night it was very windy and the window was making a lot of noise and when we checked it out we found out the whole window frame was loose and moving… so we didn’t get any sleep with all that noise. No remote control for the TV in the room and you have to pay a pay 10€ to get it. Very basic breakfast.

    The location is great, close to the beach, bus station and good restaurants. Good price

    One of my beds had a hole in the mattress- this did get changed. The all inclusive menu was a bit repetitive - we was there for 5 days

    I went with my Nan and there was evening functions on for her - not necessarily the place to go for younger people but she loved it! The staff was very friendly and done her a bday cake at a little cost.

    Our only complaint would be breakfast- not much of the choice and every day the same. Plus table arrangement is not the best, people walking and pushing your chair.

    The hotel is nice. Room was quite nice, clean and tidy. It had outdoor and indoor pool.

    Big organized groups of teens or students accomodated. We had them from Italy and Germany. Both emitating noise after 10 pm., screams, banging on the door, without any rules as there were only they.

    My wife is vege, so I was surprised that in breakfast and dinner she could choose many vege options. And deserts - delicious.

    The hotel is located very close to a public parking which is an added value if you reach the hotel by car. The staff is very kind and the rooms are very clean. The value for money was excellent.

    Next to the hotel is a building in construction and opposite is a big crane. Lucky when you will have a room with balcony to pool, not the street. Breakfasts and dinners offered an adequate selection of food for the price paid, but I miss more fresh vegetables and fruit. Dinner drinks were chargeable.

    Hotel is situated in the middle of Qawra, nearby main Buggiba bay bus station, what is perfect to plan any trip around the island and about 3 minutes away from the beach. Room was clean, towels were changed everyday. Pool area is full of sunbeds. Inside pool was heated, even whirpool and sauna was there. The rooms are going to be renovated step by step. On the 5th floor worked on them. The lobby has a luxurious touch with marble.

    The hotel is in a good location, but it needs a major upgrade, there was no water to have shower in the morning, the lifts are not in a good condition, I stayed at the hotel 5 nights, they came to clean the room but did not change the sheets. This hotel it's definitely not a 4* star hotel, maybe 3 at best.

    Would have preferred to be in a non smoking area. The top floor sun terrace was ruined by cigarette butts and litter left by some guests. I was on the 5th floor and experienced poor cold water pressure at various times of the day and night

    Conveniently located for everything I needed to do and see. Very helpful Reception staff, in particular Rita. Good selection of food and excellent value for money - there is an option to pay for an evening meal. So convenient having a fridge in my room as well as tea/coffee making facilities
