The hotel rooms were absolutely stunning, everything you could wish for, and great value for money. They made us feel like we were in a castle. The service was exceptional, really friendly and helpful. The location was very good for sightseeing and provided a good starting point to explore the area. The dining experience was very good but could be upgraded a bit. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor improvements.

The hotel offers a stunning view straight onto the harbor, though lacking natural light in the main room. It's a bit inconvenient to access certain areas. Despite minor quibbles, the location is perfect for a peaceful stay near the ferry service to Valletta.

The dining experience offered scrumptious flavors but had some delays in service and cooking quality issues. The cost of 15 euros per person may not align with the overall experience.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its amazing rooms offering great views of the harbour area and always being kept clean. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff making my stay truly enjoyable. The location was excellent for exploring the three cities and Valletta, providing a perfect mix of tranquility and easy access to town. However, the dining experience, although delicious, was a bit slow at times.
