obstructed viewmissing water
The sea view I booked was partially obstructed (from my "sea front" room!). It was somewhat improved after I complained for three days. The gym didn't provide any water, and neither did the spa next door. I found this strange for a hotel charging over 200 euros per night.

great locationeasy accessprofessional staffpool areapoor servicesun bed
i stayed here for a conference. the location is excellent.. a great selection of restaurants is nearby. it is also just a five-minute walk to the ferry terminal with easy access to valletta. the staff were professional and cute.
the pool area lets this place down. i was told i could not use the pool because i had not booked my sun beds the day before. the hotel only has access to the last row of beds. i found the service at the pool club shocking.
