Apologies if my previous post was difficult to understand:

This topic is intended for constructive discussion about the Palm Court Hotel

David

hi .i found out yesterday that they have closed the kitchen down in palm court and guests are using the venus , i was also told that guests were given paper plates and polystiyrene cups

I agree with the David HT Mod, but as far as the Palm Court is concerned, people must be informed about this place. We consider the place to be a joke anyway after hearing what folks who have stayed there have said. We've nipped into the foyer a couple of times when we've been in that area and believe me we'd never stay there even for free!

I'm hardly surprised that the kitchens have been closed down. I think it's very important that folks reading this site - especially those unfamiliar with Malta are given this info. I guess I already know what the TV programme will say. The Palm Court certainly isn't doing the tourist trade in Malta any favours and I'm just amazed that The Maltese Tourist Board hasn't close them down years ago!

I was speaking to a couple who stayed there in September. They told me of their horrible experience on their first night when one of them climbed into bed and fell through the bottom of the bed base The chipboard base was soaking wet and rotten. I shudder to think of what made it that wet

The locals call it Fawlty Towers ! Cybil ! Cybil !, if only it was that light hearted, public health is pretty serious stuff and should never be taken lightly.

true it,s also known locally as cockroach city, to me it beggars belief that these nocturnal creatures are spotted so often during daylight hours, either they have gone blind, been poisoned in which case the pest control are doing their job, or its a clear case of overcrowding and they are seeking the exits and alternative digs.

we called in yesterday with our friends who are staying at the soreda hotel ,p/ c was dingy and very dark on entering we had a look round the pool area and it was minging the sun beds were in tatters and the toilets well they were minging as well but there were plenty of people sat having a drink and seemed to be enjoying themselves

I forgot to mention - on the couple of occasions we visited the foyer, there was a distinct smell of zoflora type disinfection!!!

Trev

Nothing wrong with Zoflora disinfection they use it in Elderly Persons Homes.

Dave

Yes Dave but I understand it's very good for hiding smells! So it's used in elderley persons homes - I always thought they used dettol. Do you have inside information???

To smell this disinfectant in the foyer of the Palm Court really rings alarm bells with me!

Trev

Hi Trev & Dave, perhaps the zoflora was being used to disguise the pong of something like wee wee

Zalflora, Dettol, this thread is dedicated to Palm Court, obviously the smell is after shave exclusive to the roache family. is the foyer not on the way out.

One of the treats of some times working in elderley persons homes is the great smell, so yes I do have inside information, but not at the Palm Court
I do remember the other year when we were in Bugibba I had just sung Ferry across Mersey in a pub near the B H C when a old lady told me that they have Karaoke on at Palm Court the next day, but I never went I like a sing song but not that bad.

Dave

Ok that's enough
