Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.

The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.
