We felt very comfortable. The service worked for us excellent. We had booked two rooms, everything was to our satisfaction, although only economy and view to the old, but beautifully lit walls and a view of the harbor. Sure, the water pressure of the rinsing box left a lot to be desired, but one is in Malta. You can start with the evaluation of the hotel no German standards. If you are looking at will and error, will always find something. We wanted to re …  read more

Unfortunately, the five stars in my opinion not justified. In addition to a mediocre breakfast at a rather uncomfortable we were allocated table (, although the window tables were 2/3), in which one of the plate was pulled away, while we were still eating, it was primarily the bathroom bone of contention. The water in the shower didn't drain, the wash basin also. The summit was the toilet: the flush used, appeared in the toilet bowl to brown particles, wh …  read more

It is a well run 5 star hotel, close to the town convenient with good staff. Bad is for a 5 star hotel, that when you use of the sauna 15,00 Euro pay must. I in a 5 star hotel never experienced. Negative was also, that the exit at 4:00 o'clock coffee but no lunch pack made available was, although the breakfast for the day was. … read more

The print of boarding passes was but you have to pay. There is a laundry service, and 24-hour room service, which we but we didn't make use of it have.I had only booked accomodation and breakfast.

The staff are without exception very friendly & concerned. Communication in English is easy. Room was every day reliably cleaned, on some days was missing the gesichtswaschlappen, however at early evening a second time the room service past, to ask, whether something is needed. Very nice attentions are the cold towels & the cold drinks at check in at the front desk, if one of the prior a bit sweated is, as well as every evening a small piece chocolate on the pillows.For breakfast mostly wide selection of cold & hot food.
