I am writing this after returning from the Palm Court hotel we travelled expecting the worst and I was really worried before I went as had read all of the reviews on here.
We found the food acceptable luckily I had taken some cereal for the kids as theirs was disgusting soggy cornflakes or muesli. Dinner was ok not a lot of choice but what there was tasted ok.
All in all we had a brilliant time went to see some lovely places went on a boat trip and visited Popeye's island which the kids loved.
I had to request a repair to my bathroom light which was dealt with and fixed within an hour. The rooms were adequate mine was huge with 3 single beds bath and shower, had to be careful with the water though as it got extremely hot. Towels were changed daily if you put them in the bath and sheets were changed twice in the week.
Would definitely recommend the holiday for single parents who are on a budget apparently they run a kids club in the peak season. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay my mum is thinking of going back and I will definitely book again especially for the price we paid.
Staff were friendly the location brilliant near to lots of things and you could get the bus anywhere from the square.
We didn't go to the entertainment although we could hear it from our room it abruptly finished 11.30pm and you could hear everyone saying goodnight.

When we go away on holiday we never take notice of other reports.
In this hotel I'm glad we didn't. The flight was a1.the hotel as we expected for the price we paid was very good.I should'nt say this rearly they may start putting the prices up. There are no white knuckle ride on the island!.Just take a ride on an old Malta bus. There great and cheap. The holiday reps were very helpful and did'nt push you into bying excursions you did'nt want.
We did'nt have time to see all we wanted. Next time we will. We are coming back.

The Hotel was very shabby and had a disgusting smell in the corridors. It felt like endless tunnels to your room.
The food was really disgusting had to read the menu to check was it was lucky I like chips really but I got fed up with them. After 2 days we did not eat here again after paying half board we paid to eat out! nice to get fruit and vegetables again.
The Hotel location was not to bad busy back street.
The staff were not friendly in any way I think the restaurant staff were the worst maybe they felt sorry for us having to eat this rotten bland tasteless food.
We complained to our rep as it was so depressing staying here and we moved to the Venus sister hotel.
Staff much more friendly think they were warned!
Karokes fine but not everey night we went out to some nice bars and restaurants in the area.
I would never stay in this Hotel again the Manager of the restaurant says it is because of the budget they have so it cannot improve! I think it should refurbish or knock the lot down then it cannot dissapoint so many holidmakers like us on our first visit to Malta it leaves a lasting impression.
The Maltese are very friendly lovely people it is very insulting for them.

The flight over was very good staff were friendly, the hotel was as we remembered our room was clean and kept clean all week, as this was our second visit in less than a year we knew what to expect the place had improved from last year although we had no complaints at all anyway.
The food was good I dont see why people complain it was good we ate there every day the choice was good and it tasted nice. We did eat out a few times as we like to sample the local food.
The staff where friendly and helpfull as they were the last time. we had yet another lovely holiday as I have said before you get what you pay for and we think we got our money's worth we will be nack again later in the year cant wait .

Very dark corridors, slight smell of dampness throughout hotel, asked for room change which was dealt with effeciently. However next day we asked for upgrade to different hotel, as we could not cope with the standard offered for 3*.
Given a selection of those nearby and paid the difference, we had to make own arrangements to transfer.
Hotel staff were pleasant, location on back street with some passing traffic noise.

After reading some of the reviews on the Palm Court we almost cancelled our holiday but we decided to go and see for ourselves. The flight with British Jet was superb. The room was basic but clean and cleaned daily by hard working staff.
We reported two minor faults with our room and both were repaired within an hour of reporting them. The hotel staff were friendly and helpfull and not rude and sullen as we had been lead to believe.
We found the food and the restaurant very acceptable and enjoyed our meals. The hotel corridors are a bit like a rabbit warren with one or two ramps here and there but I found it fun exploring.
The hotel is mainly no smoking but you can smoke in your room, by the pool, outside the front of the hotel and there is a smoke room in the Oasis Bar. Whatever board type you are on you have to order your drinks and snacks at receception then take your receipt to the bar. The hotel is well located for access to shops etc. We will both be going again later this year.

I don't see why people are complaining. If you want to spend your holiday in a hotel, this isn't for you. If it's so bad, why do people spend 6/8 months at a time there? Brilliant for the bus terminus, I don't go to the entertainment, the food is perfectly adequate. Nothing wrong with it. A bit 'factory canteen' dining room, but I've seen worse school canteens. Booked to go back at the end of this year, and planning March/April 2007 as soon as I know when Easter is next year. Think that means I'm going back! Dive safely

The hotel it"s self is a little tired, work was being done on a few floors but nothing intrusive.
Staff always helpful.
The food was o.k. breakfast was English, but no fruit. The bacon was as is all Malta hotels salty + very fatty. Evening meals were carvery affairs, was ALWAYS asked would you like more meat, veggies fresh and crispy, but carrots were a big no no. Did"t have dinner so cannot comment.
Entertainment was poor really but we were in different bars mostly. The hotel bar was good value unlike most hotels beer was the same as out side bars local Cisk 75cents a pint. My self + wife Shirley took a friend Brian there as he had never been we returned to U.K. 7/02/2006 he booked another 3 days so what can you say.
All in all another brill Malta holiday Ist time at P/Court would we go again? See you all there in September.
Never mind the poor feed back we were a little worried, but for what we paid you could"t get a flat at Blackpool for a week

We booked a weeks break at short notice. The flight was fine. On arrival at the hotel we found what we paid for. A basic hotel offering basic service.
The room was extremely clean and staff came in everyday and maintained the high state of cleanliness.
The food was good. There was always a choice offered and you could eat as much as you wanted. Remember we had not paid for a five star hotel so we did not expect five star hotel service. Unfortunately, some people paid for a three star hotel and expected five star service.
We have booked again for September and this time we are taking two other couples with us. The hotel is an ideal place to use as a base to explore the island.
