Hotel Calypso

The room was honestly run down. Some tiles were broken and wobbly in the room. The morning shower had no hot water, the chair in the room was ripped up on one of the arms. The shower curtain has big black stains. The staff was really nice and sweet, except when we ordered room service we had to explain for 3 minutes over the phone from our room that we didn’t check out in emergency and that we were indeed in the room waiting for our food. The pizza was definitely not made on site, and my Coke turned out to be a Coke Zero. I wouldn’t recommend their food, but I can’t say it enough, the staff at the front desk was awesome, friendly and welcoming. Great location, and dog friendly!

Location is at Marsalforn bay, convenient with restaurants and beaches around but sometimes cars can't get in the street in front of the hotel so not so handy with Bolt or Uber Room were ok. Simple, have everything you need, TV, refrigerator, electric kettle. We had small balcony that face side of the hotel and in far Seaview. In the hallway of our room we could smell cooking from the kitchen so it's not so nice. Breakfast were nice. Variety of food and have small terrace you can enjoy morning view of Marsalforn. Rooftop is swimming pool , sun beds and bar. Self-service. Cocktails were nice, served in plastic cup. Fantastic view from Rooftop. Beautiful sunset there. Ladies at reception were kind and helpful. They helped us with store luggages before check in time. With check out we asked for late check in because my husband felt unwell. They had option to stay till 3 pm for 30 euro. (Normal check out time is 11 am)

This hotel is a bit of a mash up of modern and old. Basically clean and staff helpful. Decent sized rooms but a tiny bathroom with shower over the bath.|Breakfast was dreadful as supposedly hot food was basically tepid. OK if you just want cold food, but limited fruit and no muesli. Fruit juice was weak and we had to ask for teaspoons to eat a small tub of yogurt. Toast was either underdone or burned, depending how often you put it through the machine. Goodness only knows what Room Service food or Evening Meals in the 'restaurant' was like.||The bed was two singles pushed together. Therefore the quilt wasn't big enough and was on sideways with the opening down one side and the quilt stuck out as the cover wasn't big enough. We also found holes in the quilt cover.|Didn't use the ceiling fan over the bed as the blades were rusty.||The bathroom grouting was black in places, although the tiles looked clean. I had to ask for a non slip mat to go in the base of the bath. They did provide one, but without any grab rails, having a shower was a risky business. Towels very basic too.||The overall finish of everything in the holed was OK until you looked closely. Great view from the balcony, but chairs and table faded and flaking. Pool area needed lots of TLC.|OK as a base to look around the island.

We stayed here for a few days as part of a tour. Our rooms faced waste ground and industrial buildings. |If you are on a package holiday, then a sea view is absolutely essential. |The hotel is shabby, dated and in urgent need of modernisation. There are no USB ports, lighting is very poor and there are cracks in the walls. The safe is antiquated. I didn’t use it. |The shower is located over the bath tub with a curtain, so you have to climb in. |It is impossible to have a bath as the water is completely cold before it is merely a few cm up the tub. The shower pressure isn’t great and water almost cold.|According to reception, the water is always ‘luke warm’. That’s a very generous description! |The hairdryer is fixed to the wall with one speed and one heat (hot). |The roof top pool has sun beds but no umbrellas or shade. |On a positive note, the buffet breakfast was good.

We stayed for 1 night during our walk around Gozo on the coastal path. All other hotels we have stayed at before this one were excellent - this was disappointing. The building is aged and dirty. Our inland room was average, but fixtures and fitting were old, stained, and the curtains ripped and held together with a safety pin. The balcony was tiny, filthy and had two old dirty chairs on it. Our ‘inland’ view was of waste ground, bags are of rubbish and a old caravan. The resort itself is filthy - rubbish lining the streets and overflowing bins. On a positive the breakfast was nice. Reception staff told us all inland rooms overlook wasteland and rubbish, as do several bay and sea view rooms. We would not recommend or visit again.

As a hotel, absolutely fine. The room we had was a good size, although the bathroom is a bit small. But a large, very comfortable bed. |The breakfast was average at best. Watered down juice, iffy quality cooked food and no maltese fare. |The real selling point is the view. If you come, get a room with a balcony view of the sea. It is stunning!

Stayed as apart of Group Trip Holiday. Location was nice & quite. But not for a wild Holiday. It's quite Location. But close by to restaurants, bars & shops. I wouldn't give it 4 star. Food isn't great selection. To me Food was half cooked & warm. Not Hot. No bar in the Hotel. Roof Top Pool. No proper Bar or even Happy Hour available. Thank god it was only 3 nites stay. Day & Nite would have been plenty. The Hotel is not for families. Only couples who want a quite Holiday.

Decided to book a last minute trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Stayed at hotel calypso for 4 nights. We arrived and room was a twin, so went back to reception and asked for a double to be told they push beds together and that’s how they make a double. So this meant we had a ridge in the bed between us! Don’t get me started on the bed! So uncomfortable as it was so hard! I personally didn’t get a good nights sleep at all any night as I couldn’t lay on my back and I woke so many times when rolling over as I was in pain in my arms due to laying on sides. You shouldn’t be in pain just because you’ve laid on your side!! I knew room was a land view due to budget when booking but we looked over derelict land with someone living in a campervan on the site! Breakfast was nice but cooked food not hot enough, we chose items and by time got to table it was lukewarm at best! Hotel clean. Hot water in mornings but one day I had a shower at 5pm and it was tepid, I was cold, it just wouldn’t get hot and I came out with goosebumps! Roof top area not in use. Pool cold. We tried to get room service one evening but no one answered phone. Didn’t have a great deal of interaction with staff but all friendly. Sorry was expecting a bit more luxury for 4 star in my opinion hotel should be rated 3 or 2 star.
