Good but hard to judge accuratly

judging the service isn't easy because o all the covid stuff but because the hotel was shutting down a lot f services weren't done as well as they could because they were laying off staff and basically shutting down areas of the hotel. All in all under normal circumstances I think this hotel would be really good to stay at and I think I would probably recommend it but I wouldn't rate my experience here as highly as i did their sister hotel the San Anton

It's a pretty basic hotel, really looks like it's still the 1980's and in need of a facelift, but the staff are good and the cleanliness & servicing of the room was excellent.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

It was dirty, outdated, and just disappointing. Very unhygienic, and the food was unappetising and the restaurant was filthy and unsuitable to eat in. There was rotten food in the luggage room, and the lighting was very bad - it was difficult to get across the courtyard to the room because there were no lights. The swimming pool was dirty, and the facilities looked very outdated. The lift was small and could barely fit 3 people. The actual room was very disappointing, there were stains on the bedsheets and the bath had hair and dirt in it. The windows and doors didn’t lock properly and we felt unsafe in our room. Overall, a very disappointing hotel.

Stay away from this dump

Absolutely terrible experience. It was 100 degree and no working AC. Very very loud non working AC. I asked for a different room and was told all rooms were the same. I left for a tour when I returned the AC was leaking some black stuff and some AC parts had fallen out. I demanded a new room. Received another room and no AC unit working their either. Stay far away from this dump.

The hotel was within walking distance of the Bugibba square and was opposite the street of a great dive centre. Unfortunately the hotel room had dirty sheets, the room wasn’t cleaned at all during our stay, we had to ask for clean towels at reception which you get handed and no one collects the dirty ones. The area it is in looks less than desirable and we were warned to take our valuables with us to the dive centre, especially as there was no room safe and the key system at reception to prove its your room doesn’t actually get enforced. The help desk for tours and local knowledge was useful and when they are not there the sign says ask reception. Unfortunately reception just say ask the help desk when they are back. A couple of others we dived with actually complained and left the hotel with their money back to get another hotel it was that bad for them. Overall not a great stay and not worth £65 a night. Don’t be fooled by the nice looking reception area as it conceals the other issues.

During 35 plus degrees weather, we was left with out any air conditioning for the entire holiday, some of the staff didnt seem to care. Due to the heat, i was unable to slep for the first 4 nights. The swimming pools are nice, but the showers and toilets leading to them are filthy The lift next to my room was broken so had to walk up and down 63 steps every time i wanted to go anywhere

The air conditioning didn’t work, portable one they provided leaked water from it. Rooms were not cleaned everyday. Staff were moody, only friendly staff members were the maintenance staff. The room was dirty. I paid for an apartment and got a room. The shower and toilet were horrible. Breakfast was not cooked properly.

We did not get to stay at the hotel. On arrival they had "bad news" for us. I have a disability and our room was on the top (6th floor) and the lifts were broken (I am on crutches as have a disability). They had to move us to their "Sister" hotel - the St Anton Hotel in Bugibba. Our holiday had now been downgraded :-( The St Anton - avoid like the plague! Almost nothing worked nor were they in any hurry to fix anything or offer a sincere apology or compensation. No tea/coffee making facilities (but they will give you just the kettle and a cup if you raise the issue). We did not get the fridge till half way through the holiday which also did not work very well. A telephone in case you needed assistance (except none of them worked) nor did they fix them. Full of Spanish students that ran riot in hotel every night, shouting/screaming 4am every morning waking us up and they did nothing about it nor would they evict them, like any DECENT hotel would have done. Hotel did not have enough bedding for the hotel so didnt always get replaced/changed. Was located in part of Bugibba that looked like Beirut! Breakfast was VERY limited/basic and the "meats" on offer were uncovered and FLIES everywhere..so you would not have the food anyhow. :-(
