Ok. I've read the 5* reviews and I'm not swayed.The hotel, if it really is , it's location is close to the main streets of Valletta, but to get there is up a steep hill,not great for anyone with mobility issues.|The hotel is clean,tidy and lacking any personality, the staff are polite, but as far as I could tell very few from Malta. Most if not all the staff are either from Nepal, or the Asian Sub continent.|The room's are similar to any Travel lodge type, basic, and that's it. Multiple choice of TV stations, only one in English, BBC News.|Breakfast is based on eggs, a basic menu, but they offer other dishes at a cost, something I've never come across before in the 100's of hotels I've stayed at .|The staff could be more attentive and check if you require a coffee refill, something they don't do on a regular basis. The food is generally not at the top quality. Bacon thin streaky, sausage could do with a bit more cooking, hash brown is tiny and obviously mass produced, egg ok, baked beans average, mushrooms well overcooked. Would be nice if they had condiments on the table. They do have fruit juice, its a combination of several fruits, but you can ask for orange juice on request.Toast is average, but the butter is not kept cool so it ends up a liquid, not good.The website and some reviews suggest there is a restaurant and bar within the hotel. There isn't, after breakfast the only staff you will come across are the housekeeping staff. The restaurant closed about three years ago.|Breakfast on Monday morning was a complete fiasco, people waiting to be seated, no coffee cups, sheer incompetence and lack of management, yes I did see the manager hide away. My breakfast order was 'forgotten ' . They burnt it and are having to remake it. Bring out Manuel and Basil, they even have the gaul to use napkins from the closed restaurant. Not impressed, a complete fiasco.|Facilities in the room, fairly limited supply of tea and coffee, soft drink and beer in the fridge. |Overall it's a boutique hotel, overpriced, but in a convenient location if you are fit and healthy. |Overall, ok, but would I stay here again? Possibly not, don't base your choice on the previous reviews on here, the manager will copy and paste the standard reply.|A bit disappointed to be honest.||Oh yes the panoramic views over the city! Only a small number of rooms at the top of the hotel at the front will have that view.
