Our first room smelled so bad on poison( later discovered that there's so many little bugs) tha we had to ask for another one. To their credit they did change it immediately. The room was old and outdated . No safe deposit box , horrible bed, bed sheet would have been frrom ww2 same with the pillows.Towels were old as well. The ceiling fan was shaking at low and high speed the air-conditioning wasn't cooling as it should but making a loud noise. Had full board paid but used it only once as i wasn't impressed(different taste maybe but some people were eating).don't know how it got rated 4 stars but this is definitely the worst hotel that we stayed in. Do not do the same mistake as i did thinking its a 4 star should be good.

This hotel was absolutely lovely! It is only a short walk from the beach and there are many restaurants and shops around. There was music in the evening and dancing which was so fun! There is an indoor and outdoor pool that are open 9-6. The breakfast buffet had lots of options. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely stay there again next time I come to Malta

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean. Unfortunately we try to grade during asked day to all inclusive but they refused wasn’t that the state was really good. The breakfast are OK but please be careful as I found a fly in the milk, but they quickly changed it. The food is OK. The staff are not all the best, but Natalie is fantastic. She has a time for you.

Front desk staff and housekeeping staff were pleasant and helpful. However, I kept having a bad experience with one of the employees who serves the breakfast in the morning (woman, wears glasses); she was rude, to say the least, and considering she was being pleasant with everyone else, I can’t help but take it personal considering it happened every timeI went downstairs for breakfast. When it comes to the hotel itself, gym is very tiny, has a dirty carpet, and weights are practically non existent (enough stationary bikes and treadmills, though). Air conditioning in the main foyer feels nice and is strong; however don’t let that fool you as in the rooms it is not controlled by the individual guest themselves, therefore the rooms can get quite hot during the day which makes them almost uninhabitable. The ceiling fan and the closing of the curtains helps, along with being practically naked. I did see a cockroach in the room. TV is small, no remote to be found. Bed was a good size, but had a spring mattress so it was quite uncomfortable. The hotel is within walking distance to several spots.

I really enjoyed the food. A substantial breakfast and good evening meal which always had a starter, meat, fish or veggie options, salads and a range of desserts. Very efficient restaurant with helpful and friendly staff. Although it advertises free parking, this was on the road outside and spaces were hard to find.

The curtains were tatty and hooks were missing so could not close them properly. The light on the balcony was on all night could not switch off. There was mold around the bath. We had to pay for the remote control for the TV although that was refunded on its return. The water was non potable. The food was the cheapest quality as was the wine. This is NOT a 4* hotel and should be reclassified as it is very misleading on your website. On arrival we were asked for our credit card by the receptionist to pay for our stay. We formed her we had already paid but she said she would have to speak to the manager. He spoke to us 5 minutes later and apologised for the mistake. This hotel needs a complete REFURBISHMENT sooner than later.

This hotel may have been nice at one time but now it is quite run down and needs to be updated. The beds were dirty. The sheets were not clean and had hair in the bed. The beds were miserably uncomfortable. The bathroom sink was clogged and would not drain properly. Overall very disappointing. We ended up leaving although we had 2 remaining nights in our reservation that were not refundable.

What was suppose to be a relaxing holiday was an absolute nightmare. We checked in and the staff was friendly, the place was a little outdated from the photos but we thought it had great amenities and a good location. We got to our room and the balcony door was broken and the aircon unit sounded like a jet engine. We went back to the front desk to ask for a room change and the receptionist resisted and insisted that the room was fine, we had to stand our ground to avoid being bullied into staying in the original room, the receptionist went from being really lovely to rude and aggressive when we asked for a simple room change. We did end up getting the new room which was much better, again outdated which we weren’t bothered about but upon closer inspection everything was very dirty. We only had one night here and we were exhausted so we just said we will sleep on towels to avoid touching anything. When having a shower the water pressure is barely a trickle, you would have gotten more water and cleaner if you paid a hobo to spit on you. Nothing was open and this was not disclosed upon check in or before when the reservation was made, we wanted to play a game of pool after our dinner at a nearby restaurant but the room was dark and looked like a storage unit. We decided that because it was a bit late (8pm) we would just go to the rooftop spa and relax for a bit. There was no lighting and the spa was drained. There was no signage so anyone going up here.

You get what you pay for. Stayed for 7 nights and needed assistance from maintenance on a couple of occassions. Room had not been thoroghly cleaned prior to our arrival and we had to request clean towels on our last night as our room had not been cleaned or towels changed. Our room was compact with an ensuite shower. We were situated that the back of the hotel overlooking the Elvis tribute bar and had a marvellous huge terrace, such a blessing and we were able to enjoy the great views. The air-conditioning was a god send, would never have survived the August heat without it. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The accommodation is dated but the room, when cleaned was adequate and the bed very comfortable. The hotel was quite quiet and strict guidelines were in place to support distancing and hand hygiene.

My wife and I have been visiting Malta for the last 9 years and have stayed in 5 other hotels, this one by far is the best and good value for money. My only moan is the pillows but they were managable for a short stay.

On arriving at this hotel we were advised that they did not have a room for us. This was booked and paid for back in July 2019!!!! To cut an extremely awful experience (the manager was laughing at our predicament) short we were offered another hotel and on checking the reviews it was dreadful. They offered another plus 2 hop on hop off bus pass each. If we wanted dinner added to the compensation we would have to sign a declaration saying we would not put on any bad reviews or complain. Needless to say we declined. On checking reviews for this hotel later it sound like we had a very lucky escape. Appalling attitude, extremely poor customer service.

We arrived to find there was not a room available as they were overbooked but we could have one of their apartments and be upgraded to half board. However, the apartment was dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke. We returned to the reception and without saying anything we were told we would have a room indicating to us that they knew the state of the apartment. The room they put us in appeared initially clean but had cockroaches in the bathroom. Also the room was one they didn’t use very often as it was right near the cleaners who woke us every morning very early as they didn’t know were in there. Also we had to ask for towels and I made the beds each day. Not impressed at all. We have stayed at this hotel before so it was very disappointing this time.

It's a standard hotel, corresponding to the cost of staying there. It lacks many facilities but if you do not care about that it works as an affordable stay.

They were overbooked and transfer us to Coral Hotel stating it was the same. Awful experience over there anond got transferred back to Canifor, which is okay but definitely not a 4* hotel, maybe 30 years ago. Terrible food, whether is Breakfast or dinner. No remote either for TV and Air conditioner....wont repeat

It was full of noisy students and teenagers. The remaining 25% adult guests were pretty rough. The breakfast was barely suitable for a dog. The overall facility was tired, old and I haven’t stayed in rooms that bad in over 40 years!! There is a massive building site opposite. You have to even pay the use the safe deposit box in the room and leave a deposit for the TV control! The best thing about this hotel is the reception!!! As for Bugibba, Magaluf is more appealing!!

Unique. Hmm. Let's see. My boyfriend's sheets had blood on them. I only saw it after we woke up in the morning. My sheets had a rip in them the size of my elbow. It was tucked on the side of my mattress. The beds were sliding on the floor when we slept. Continental breakdast had very limited choices and if you wanted to take your coffee by the pool side you had to pay 10€ to do so. When i asked for all my sheets and pillow covers to be replaced (4 sheets and 2 pillow covers) upon discovering the blood, they told me the locker is closed and i have to wait for the key holder to come to work. When someone finally came they brought up 2 sheets. I had to go and make a huge fuss at the reception about it. Apologies none. We were unable to sleep since right outside our window there was a table for people to get drunk at. At 2 am i called reception and they did nothing about it. When we left they asked us for an extra 35€ for laundry service. I contested the charge and the receptionist was like "oh yeah sorry wrong room". Free self parking? My ass! We got a ticket since there literally was NO PLACE to park. We were told to park were we find a spot beside the curb. I have never been to a worse hotel with ruder staff! Ever!
