A real postcard setting for this pretty hotel in St Paul's Bay, between small colourful boats, tamarisk and azure blue of the sea, which is almost feet in the water. Bright, this small hotel, which is undergoing a renovation process that began in 2017, offers pleasant, well-furnished rooms with all the comforts you could wish for: television, air conditioning, safe, minibar and coffee service in each room, some with balconies to enjoy the view of the bay. At your disposal is a bar-cafétéria, which in 2019 was joined by a restaurant entirely dedicated to fish with a beautiful panoramic view of the sea. Another more indisputable one is a beautiful seawater swimming pool, with beautiful views here too. A spa is planned. A rare space in Malta.

Fantastic sea view hotel. Great rooms, lovely staff and the best fish restaurant of Malta. Will definitely be coming back here when in Malta.

Stayed only 1 night but got bitten by bedbugs in clusters across my bodies, they showed up about 2 hours after I check out. It was the worst itching that lasted over a week. For 5 nights after my stay here I woke up in the middle of sleep from burning itchiness. Gave me the utmost paranoia about bringing it back home. Should have saw the red flags with the many wooden furnitures that looked old and unclean and the blanket being folded up in the dusty cupboard. Nice view and location but this tainted the entire Malta trip.

Also grundsätzlich ein Reinfall. Da lässt auch ein günstiger Preis nichts besser sein. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist immer daß gleiche, Null besonders oder tolles. Die Substanz ist in die Jahre gekommen und nicht optisch ansprechend. Die Lage mag toll sein, aber die Tauchschule im Hinterhof hat ab 6 Uhr die Fähigkeit die Müllabfuhr die um 5 Uhr kommt von der Lautstärke zu ersetzen. Das einzig gute im Zimmer war der TV und das Recht stabile w Lan. Sonst kann ich diesem Objekt nichts positives abgewinnen.

Dont be fooled by the four stars or the advertised photos, this hotel falls short on many aspects. Customer service is poor, the rooms are a disgrace , the dining is basic.

The dining room they show in advertising is not where guests dine as that is now a separate venue, you can dine there so long as pay in full less 10% but we tried it and had to send food back ! Clearly they have a cook in the kitchen who can adequatly cope with the simple food for the half board guest which despite having to sit outside of the resturant was quite good but if you are advertising yourself as a fine dining establishment inside you do need to employ a Chef to do the food.

On arrival we were given room 515 which we had seen on a you tube video from 2014 and must be one of the four worst rooms in the hotel (this despite having booked a supior room upgrade from holiday company) We refused to stay in it and we were moved to a restricted view room 212 which was better than nothing as hotel was apparently fully booked.

I say better than nothing so long as you dont mind black mould on the walls, ceiling and in the bathroom, the filthest air con unit i have ever seen, and like a collection of worn out old pine furniture from the 1980s, a wardrobe with four hangers,thread bare towels a smelly toilet, cracked floor and ceiling tiles and a balcony that when you sit out upon the child size chairs if we didnt choke on the smoke from the chain smokers on the adjacent balcony we had to look straight up the sun lotioned posteriors of those lazing on the sun beds opposite.

And so to breakfast, which was the same daily. A meger buffet offering and some rock hard crossionts (some with jam with the option of a fly or two on top) toast and jam, The full english option was served luke warm and slopped on your plate by a bored staff member.

Tea or coffee is available (without saucers for some reason) and if you would like a mug get down at 7am because i think they only have 10 or so in the hotel which is a shame because the drinks vending machines seem to be set to mug quanties so if you are only left with the sauceless cup option it dispenses half your drink over your hand and floor.

You are allowed to enter the holy sanctuary of the resturant in the morning but not the inner sanctum ,the place which on their advertising they show guests beining served from a sumptious breakfast buffet by smiling welcoming staff (and one of the many reasons i was misled into booking this hotel) No you get to sit in the annex which is ok i suppose, the tables are at least cleaner than outside and there are far less flys to bother you.

Needless to say i dont think we shall ever return, four nights was enough to experience everything this hotel has to offer.

I dont really understand many of the glowing reviews of this place like I also dont understand how somewhere like this can get 4 stars but i guess we are all different and some have lower standards and expectations than others.

Tolle Aussicht direkt am Hafen.Nette Rezeption.Die Zimmer und die Flure sind sehr enttäuschend und entsprachen nicht den gebuchten/Bildern.Sehr runter gewirtschaftetes und Renovierungsbedürftiges Zimmer! Zimmerreinigung fand kaum statt, innerhalb von einer Woche kein auswechseln der Handtücher( alt, verschlissen und verfärbt)kein Wechsel des Geschirrs. Matratzen durchgelegen, Kuhle in der Mitte.Bettlaken fleckig, kaputt und Gummiband alt,sodass das Laken keinen Halt hatte,ab ging und man täglich auf einem Knäuel Laken lag... Klimaanlage nicht regulierbar Flure rochen feucht und muffig, hellhörig. Preis Leistung stimmt null. Frühstück sehr bescheiden,keine Qualität der Produkte, jeden Tag das gleiche...Am enttäuschenden war die gebuchte Halbpension.Es gab eine Kooperation mit dem angeschlossenen Restaurant.Das Abendessen war jeden Tag gleich und vorgegeben.Aus einer Karte konnte man lediglich 3/4 Dinge auswählen (und für Alleinreisende nicht alles da für 2 Personen). Zur Wahl standen täglich 3 Salate,3 Nudelgerichte,3 Pizzas oder 3 Burger mit Pommes...nichts Frisches, kein Gemüse, Dessert...nur Fast food welches man im Urlaub, mit mediterraner Küche nicht essen möchte.Auch wenn die Qualität gut war,so ass ich eine Woche lang die gleichen Nudeln,den gleichen Salat... aufgrund des Wechsels in der Küche schmeckten die Gerichte täglich anders/ schlechter, insgesamt unverschämt bei Halbpension,auch wurde die Karte nicht wie angekündigt gewechselt.Drin sitzen durfte man am Abend als Hotelbesucher nicht, nur schwitzend auf der Terrasse mit 2 Meter TV und Sportkanal vor der Nase.Der Service sehr nett und bemüht,aber die Essensbestellung dauert ewig obwohl man größtenteils alleine sass.. Preise der Getränke gut.
Halbpension verschwendets Geld! Dann lieber ins Restaurant.
Insgesamt zu teuer für den Preis und die Leistung, gerade als Alleinreisender zahlt man viel mehr und bekommt die schlechtesten Zimmer ....
Service beim Frühstück sehr unfreundlich!
