The Maltese Sun

The Maltese Sun

8/10 Good
"Os funcionários foram extremamente simpáticos, mas descobrimos ao chegar que a recepção só ficava aberta até às 3, e depois disso era preciso ligar para um hotel na região para receber o código da porta. Para alguém sem linha europeia, pode sair caro por algo que poderia simplesmente ter sido comunicado de antemão. O quarto em si tinha uma cama desconfortável, portas meio gambiarradas, e a tomada desencaixou meu carregador e me deixou sem bateria em uma das noites. Também houve um problema com a eletricidade de modo geral, acendendo a luz de emergência dentro do quarto, mas resolveram rapidamente."

"The hotel was beautiful, very clean and room had everything we could need. The view from our balconies were amazing and we sat looking out in the evening when we watched the lightning. Lovely to have both a bath and separate shower. Toiletries were lovely and plenty of them. Staff were very helpful and professional. Helped us take bags to the room and then stored them for us the day we left as we had an evening flight. WiFi exceptional and free. We only had the breakfast buffet but there were four restaurants available for other meals. The breakfast was very good with a huge variety and everything was constantly replaced when running out. Omelettes cooked to order. Slight problem with coffee machine and very busy but you were not rushed. Would highly recommend"

"The hotel has added several items from my last visit and are still working on to make the experience better for its customers. We really enjoy the pool area where there is always room for its guests, and poolside service - no need to get up from your sunlounger! In addition they have both a lovely rooftop terrace and a separate roof top restaurant, both decorated and refurbished elegantly. Breakfast is delicious and have a barista and freshly made omelet station. The only negative is the elevators during breakfast and check-out time, often full from guests from higher grounds and sometimes skipping to pick up on the way up. We absolutely recommend this hotel!"
