The hotel rooms are pretty clean and spacious with a kitchenette and large terrace, but there is no view from the room. The service is lacking in proper cleaning and friendliness, except for the Filipino staff members. The location is comfortable, right on the seafront near various dining options. The dining experience offers a good selection but lacks variety in certain items. The facilities are decent but could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, despite being clean and comfortable, had some issues like being too hot and noisy, which affected my holiday experience negatively. The service was a mixed bag with some helpful staff but also encounters with uninterested individuals. The location had its charms with a convenient spot between two popular areas, but there were noticeable flaws like a lingering smell. The dining options were okay, but nothing extraordinary, and the facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was clean, had a great view of Ballutta Bay, but it was a bit hot. The service was friendly and helpful, especially at the rooftop bar with stunning bay views. The location was amazing, central to St Julian's and Sliema, though a bit rocky in appearance. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of choices at breakfast. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located on the promenade overlooking the beach, with a beautiful view and outdoor seating. The rooms are spacious with a shower that provides plenty of hot water. Some may find the rooms a bit small for longer stays, but they are perfect for short visits. The service was helpful and accommodating, although there is room for improvement in friendliness. The location is great for exploring St Julian, although it may not be ideal for those looking to be closer to Sliema center. Overall, a worn-out aspect and disappointing smell may affect the overall perception of the stay.

The hotel rooms were decent with a number of nice restaurants nearby, perfect for a short break and base for sightseeing. The service was quick to respond but intrusive during breakfast. The location is lovely, close to restaurants and a beautiful garden walk, though the WiFi policy was a drawback. The dining experience was sufficient with a few options available. The facilities provided were decent.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a well-equipped kitchenette, but they are more suitable for storage rather than a holiday due to being cold. The service was friendly, although a Taxi-connection mishap almost occurred. The location is superb, surrounded by restaurants, a public garden, and close to transport stops. The dining experience had limited variation, while the facilities are modern and well-maintained.
