A celebration weekend with my three grown-up daughters. We shared a quadruple suite on the 11th floor with stunning views across to Valetta. We enjoyed the indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna on a wet day and used the ferry for a trip to the beautiful city when it was fine. Waterfront breakfast is the best ever, varied and leisurely with exra helful staff.

We had a seaview room. Lovely view of the harbour. Room is so spacious with an additional space for tv and sitting area. Surprisingly with 2 balconies which enjoy the seaview. Staff and manager are super friendly and helpful. Cleanliness and security is excellent. The location is perfectly convenient. So much high reviewed restaurants within walking distance. Also plenty of convenience stores around.

I enjoyed the location and the view from the seaview room. The road below was busy but the views made up for it. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff were very courteous and helpful. I used the spa facilities and enjoyed the treatment and area. The breakfast was fresh with plenty of options. The location has easy access to bus routes, ferry and tours. My stay was wonderful as a solo traveller.
