We enjoyed our stay. Hotel is nicely refurbished and very clean. Despite being on the first floor and overlooking the street our room was peaceful and comfortable. We appreciated the Nespresso machine, microwave and fridge. Convenient location both for Sliema coast and St Julian’s bay. Like most hotels, there are too many cushions on the bed.
