I really enjoyed my stay here, it’s easy to get to with bus links to the Airport as well as Valletta and other areas. The Waterfront, Strand area is also a short walk away with plenty of food options available.
The room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast was also very nice with lots of options. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pros:
Clean

Location
Cons:
No fridge in room
No proper window/balcony/place to dry clothes
Poor sound isolation
Very poor reception service. We were told we will get late checkout at additional fee - which is perfectly fine. But on checkout we were offered to book another night at full price as only option. Right now, we are waiting for reception stuff for over 30 mins to do that and if she does not show up in couple if more mins we are going to some other place.

Great location, clean rooms
Staff was really friendly, the location is very close to everything, close bus stop, the only thing is that it could be quite noisy if you stay in a room with window to the street, apart from that everything was great

Perfect hotel
Would absolutely recommend this location!! They had a great little morning breakfast. The staff was pleasant and communicated well. The rooms were great size and provided everything you needed. The location was perfectly in walking distance, restaurants, or a quick cab ride to the main downtown.
