I had a wonderful time at this hotel, especially because of the spacious rooms that overlooked the bay and pool. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, the location is a bit isolated, making it tough to find nearby restaurants and bars. Overall, I feel it was a great value for money considering the amenities offered.

The hotel had a great location with an amazing view, making it convenient to catch the ferry to Gozo and explore local attractions. However, the rooms were quite small and overlooked a noisy street, which made for restless nights. The service, while friendly, lacked professionalism, especially in the restaurant.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the kids really enjoyed the fun, budget-friendly games, and the location was nice with a sea view and close to the ferry port. However, the room was dirty upon arrival, and the service was disappointing, especially during dining. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects, the hotel definitely needs some modernization and better service.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I appreciated the nice views of Comino Island, the overall experience was a mixed bag. The room I was assigned was dirty and quite outdated, which was disappointing. Service was generally friendly and accommodating, but the dining options felt lacking and repetitive after a few days. The hotel's location offers a great way to reach the ferry to Gozo, which is a definite plus.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location right near the ferry to Gozo, making it easy to explore the surrounding islands. The views from the balcony are stunning, but the rooms feel a bit old-fashioned and can be loud if you’re not facing the sea. The dining options are decent with a good buffet selection, but the service leaves something to be desired, especially in the dining room. Overall, it's a place with decent value, but improvements could be made in several areas.

The hotel is conveniently located right at the ferry transfer for Gozo, which is fantastic if you want to explore the neighboring islands. However, the rooms are outdated and in desperate need of a refresh, making the overall experience less enjoyable.
