I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were decent with a ceiling fan and portable A/C, but the noise from banging doors at night was disruptive. The service was hit or miss, with only a few friendly staff members. The location was convenient for exploring the area, but the dining experience left much to be desired.

The hotel's location is quite good, close to a supermarket and bus stops, but it can be noisy due to nearby bars. Ideal for accessing buses to explore the island, with restaurants and bars in Bugibba within walking distance. However, the overall ambiance is not pleasant, feeling more like a war zone. Next time, I would choose a hotel like San Pawl next door, where the only pleasant encounter was with the helpful Laura Grima.

Rooms

My room was one to avoid; it felt more like a homeless shelter than a 3-star hotel. The absence of air conditioning was a big minus, and the furniture was basic with no fridge or kettle, making it less convenient.
Service

The service was subpar, with staff appearing disinterested and unprofessional. The requirement to pay a tourist tax before receiving room keys was off-putting. They seemed like they were there against their will, making the experience unpleasant.
Location

The hotel's location is convenient for accessing buses around the island and close to amenities like supermarkets. However, the noise from nearby bars can be disruptive, and the overall atmosphere is not enjoyable. Being in San Pawl, it felt a bit far from the city center.

The dining experience was disappointing, with poor and limited food quality. The breakfast offerings were repetitive and unsatisfactory, not living up to the hotel's supposed 3-star status. This aspect truly affected my enjoyment of my time in Malta.
