The property is beautiful. The location is great, as it is close to a shopping center and lots of restaurants. The staff are exceptional. They were very accommodating and understanding when we wanted to switch rooms due to the overflow of water from the shower.

The beds are very stiff (hard) and the design of the shower is super flawed and water spills out into the bathroom and practically floods. For the quality of the establishment, I don’t expect to be mopping up floors while I’m there. If I’m going to have to mop everyday then I should get a discount. Also, while the breakfast was delicious (and buffet) it’s not worth the €35 each person when there are plenty of options close by where I can feed my entire family of 3 for €35.

Excellent location. Amazing Valeta view from my balcony. Very helpful and nice staff. Peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the hotel area. Good breakfast. Very good spa .

The hotel does not have its own swimming pool with sun loungers outside but uses the infrastructure of a pool restaurant. This is a public swimming pool and bar/ restaurant used mainly by the people from outside. It is necessary to reserve a sunbed two days in advance. The rules of using the pool are not clear ( towels, reservation, location of your pool bed ). The pool area is very crowded and noisy . There are usually pool techno parties during the weekend. This is definitely not the pool for the people who want to relax in a quiet place but rather for those who love disco and techno parties.

Very friendly staff and great location. Close to ferry for Valletta. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great spa and gym facilities. Once the outdoor pool is ready, that will be the best place to watch the sunset over Valletta.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding with breakfast. We paid 60 euros thinking it was for our three day stay but it was per day. It was a nice breakfast but very expensive at 60 euros a day. Nearly as much as the room itself!

The view of Valletta was simply breathtaking, from the hotel - best in Sliema. All of the employees of the hotel were friendly, personal, professional and willing to help us with everything we needed. The property was immaculate, comfortable and had a premium view and proximity for access to transport, ferry services, restaurants and shopping. The pool, bar and gym were all five star facilities and easy to access through a very clever underground walkway. The bar was great for some relaxed onsite drinks. The pool was easy to access and had a fun, friendly summer vibe, just book the day before if you would like a bed (it’s simply that easy).

Even though it’s a five star hotel, the breakfast option was pricey (if not included in a package) - so mostly we elected other options. Needs a self serving laundry option for long term stays.

The hotel has a tunnel to get to the pool across the street. The pool has high-quality service and looks just like in the pictures. The hotel is new, so you can expect the rooms to be clean and fresh.

Construction as of November 2023 was still going in the second building, so there's practically no possibility to use the balcony. Due to the way the building is built, some rooms might get very little light from outside. The breakfast is quite expensive in comparison to other hotels - but if you're up for a walk, there are decent places to have breakfast or brunch. They open at 7:00 every day.

Location superb. Room superb. Breakfast superb. Reception staff superb. Situated in easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants and transport links.

Bathroom a triumph of design over substance! Very stylish and large but impossible to have a shower without flooding the bath surround and floor. Took a long time to work out how to work the very sophisticated lighting in the room. Wasn’t impressed with food in bar. Daily dinner buffet in restaurant very expensive

This hotel is in the best location in Sliema. Only about 6 -8 min walk you'll find an amazing strip of nice restaurants, the ferry and hop on hop off busses are right there by the restaurants The view of Valetta is breathtaking. and theres a shopping mall right behind the hotel. It seems to be newly built in sept 2023. The Staff was so welcoming and shared alot for information on what to do during our girls trip. Thank you Jade!

The air conditioning system. Apparently there's only one setting for the whole hotel and you cannot change it in you room if you wanted to, which made the night a bit uncomfortable because it was too warm. The staff was however super kind and brought us a fan to keep us cool at night. I hope the AC system can be fixed to allow every room to choose their ideal temparature.

The Hotel is modern and new, everything looks clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room has a good size, particularly the bathroom and has has good lighting. The bed is big and they give three pillows per person! The air conditioning worked very silently, almost impossible to hear, and room temp was very well controlled. The sound proofing of the room is one of the best I have seen in an hotel.

To be honest there is nothing really important not to like. The only issue was the shower floor was a bit slippery and did not drain well in our room. Because the room has a modern/different layout, there are some weird choices: the TV is set to a side, the toilet when the door of the bathroom is open stairs directly to the bed, and the work desk is next to one side of the bed. These are not important really and would not print me from choosing this hotel though.

Superb location! I recently had the pleasure of staying at an incredible hotel that exceeded all my expectations. The interiors are elegant with modern aesthetics. The overall ambiance created a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was extraordinary. From the warm welcome at check-in to the personalized assistance throughout my stay. One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional culinary experience offered at the hotel's Taro restaurant and the super relaxing massage as well.

The STAFF!! Is the treasure if this hotel! Always polite, always helpful, always with a smile, always gerting interested if everything was OK! The rooms with views to the sea are superb, with wonderful sights to La Valetta and Sliema Bay. A brand new Hotel with splendid breakfast and placed close to the Ferry to La Valetta and all the day boats to Gozo and Comino!! But the STAFF was so, so, so good!!

Nothing.
