Do not book this hotel. This was the worst hotel we have ever had the misfortune of staying in.

Room was extremely dity. Even the one we were moved to after paying an extra 28 lira to escape the noise. Yes-in this hell hole you pay extra to get peace to sleep!!Excellent for a relaxing holiday(i think not)

Oh and we returned 1 day to find the so called cleaners happily rooting through our belongings.

The food-more like 'the slop.' sorry what was available wouldn't even be fit for pigs. (brill if your into crash diets though)
As for the airtours rep- useless!!!

We visited in May and the holiday was not the best we have experienced as a family but it could have been worse.

We did enjoy our time in Malta but the hotel could have been better.

We found the hotel was clean but could have been better.

The entertainment was awful, we were with a 5 year old and there was nothing during the day or in the evening to keep her entertained, thank god for the other kids, but it did cost us a small fortune in the games room!!!!

We only paid

Excellent. Better than three star.

Clean room, friendly staff. Nice indoor pool too!

This was a really good holiday taken at very short notice. I have to say that we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Hotel was very good especially at the price we paid. The staff were exceptionally marvellous and was a pleasure seeing them go out of their way to help the guests. Incredibly, the manager offered to give us a ride to the criuse boat when he overheard that we missed our transport. Well done!!!


It's not the Ritz, but it's good honest accommodation and served our purpose. It's very centrally located too. It was also pleasing to notice that many guests at the hotel had been visiting the hotel for a few years. Don't expect the world, but it's good to know you can rely on the staff when you need them.

Travelled with Direct Holidays first 2 weeks in Sept.03

Will never forget it! Take my advice don't go to this hotel!

Malta is lovely Island with lovely people but this place is enough to put anybody off holidays for life,

If you've booked this Hotel do yourself a favour and cancell.

The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful apart from one clerk on the reception desk, who considered himself almighty.

The pool area was excellent.

We did not stay in at the hotel to sample the entertainment, but went out most nights to sample the local restaurants, of which I must highly recommend Papparazis at Spinola bay.

We have stayed at this hotel twice and found it to be very satisfactory, the noise from the local night clubs was not a problem.

The bus routes to the whole of the island were close at hand, and shopping for groceries was also not a problem with a mini-market in the hotel and local shops nearby.

Went on holiday, 26th August - 9th september 2003

1. OUR ROOM

Went there on September 2003... and have been very disappointed....
The fod was terrible.... they don't know what the word "fresh" means!!!!The rooms were dirty, we spent ther 2 weeks, and the maid cleans our bathroom just once a week...The location is excellent if you want an intensive night life, terrible if you want to go to bed before 6 a.m.The staff was not helpful, and it seemed to tease us when complainig about the cleaning.

A dump, do not book it.

We travelled in August because friends we went with are teachers.
When we arrived at about 1am the noise was unbelievable. The agents had mucked up and had all six of us in one room!! After much aguing with the night duty manager put us in seperate rooms overnight and told us they would sort it in the morning. We could not believe that the booking sheet the hotel showed us had 6 adults one child and they still gave us one room! There are no rooms in the hotel that hold that many!!! We had to wait for the manager the next morning to sort it out .By 3 pm!! the next day it was sorted.
The place was packed, the first day we couldn't even find a space by the pool. The rooms are dirty and sparce, and the bathrooms smell.
If you are on the road side prepare for no sleep. No air con, the food is horrible. Eat out, its worth it.
Its a shame because you look out of the window and you can see all these 4 star places, it makes you realise what you are missing.
Malta is lovely though so don't be put off going, just don't stay here.

Are you sitting comfortably, then I will begin:

The hotel is right above about 5 nightclubs, great if you are there to party, terrible if you are there as a family. :

The rooms are filthy and if the maid can get away with it she wont clean them. They are an ok size for two people but if you need space for the kids forget it. Take your own loo roll because they must be in short supply or they dont like you to use it, because they never leave you any in the room. Dont take too many clothes, because you have nowhere to store them, just one large wardrope with no drawers and no hangers. Take a torch if you want to read on the balcony at night, the lights dont work also take a fan, because there is no air con. Dont expect a pool view, even if you ask for it, because all British families were charged extra for them. The young Italians were allocated the quiet rooms on the pool side.

The restraurant is big enough but the food stations are not and the veriaty is very limited. The breakfast juice is sherbet in water and undrinkable and you can have fried shoe leather (or was it bacon). The coffee is disgusting. Dinner has two sometimes three choices and thats when they dont run out. Carvery is one joint of meat. Dont book the BBQ on the Friday night, its a rip off, specially if you are half board or worse still, fully inclusive.

The pool is open to the public, so get up early or you wont get a sun bed and you are not allowed to keep the beds, the pool attendant throughs them away if they are unattended. Dont take any notice of the writting around the pool that says "no jumping" or "no diving" because no one else does and watch your head when swimming, you might get two feet planted in it. The toilet block was never cleaned in the two weeks we were there, so you can imagine the smell.

The entertainment is non- existant, specially for kids. The entertainment team were sacked three days into our holiday. It is also on a weekly rotation, so prepare for seeing the same show twice if you are there for two weeks.

The Aspro brochure states all these facilities:

Lounge bar - CLOSED
Squash courts - CLOSED
Fitness room - CLOSED
Hairdresser - CLOSED
Gift shop - CLOSED

the only facilities that were open, was the supermarket, but you cant buy there and take it to the pool, the pool attendant will take it of you. The outside facilities were open but understocked.


All in all DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL WITH A FAMILY, this is only suitable for party animals, who are not fussy about cleanliness.

If I have forgotten anything, please forgive me but I did have a lot of complaints.
