Had a fabulous four night break at this lovely hotel. Staff are amazing and so helpful. Our superior room was stunning with a fabulous view looking across to Valletta. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing for something special in Sliema. The rooftop pool was perfect after a day out sightseeing. The Asian restaurant in the hotel was fantastic. Food was fabulous. Great choice of food at breakfast. Wish we’d been staying longer.
