We arrived at 8 PM, we found the hotel's door locked and a paper indicating to go to the hotel across the street. We didn't stay in the hotel we booked and we weren't informed about it before! The breakfast was served in another different hotel. The room was spacious but all the equipments were very old and outdated. In the shower the water's pressure was very weak. The TV didn't work the first night and they didn't fix it until we insisted the second night.. We asked the reception what bus we shall take to go to Gozo's ferry and they gave us inaccurate information. A last thing is that they promised to give us a breakfast box as we were leaving early to the airport the following morning, then they changed their mind and resigned. This is not a big deal, only if they said it earlier... By the time we got back to the hotel, all the stores were closed and we spent a long time starving with no food!

A gem on the island of Malta

The staff were super friendly and accommodating and the room was very adequate for the price , there was an issue with some noisy kids but when it was made known to the staff they took care of it. Breakfast was great and plentiful offered all the standard breakfast fare you'd expect and was tasty too. Staff really knew the area recommending a few places when i needed recommendations and it was nice that when a staff member passed you by wherever they always smiled and said hello and when you asked something of a staff member they were more then happy to try an accommodate your request

La cosa di speciale della struttura era il prezzo, si sapeva che se si spende poco c'è da aspettarsi un trattamento inferiore e questo lo avevamo previsto, ma i primi tre giorni sono stati particolarmente deludenti. dopo aver verificato la mia camera (mobilio abbondante per sistemare gli indumenti), mi sono accorto che mancava il telecomando della televisione e il bagno era privo dello specchio,(elemento essenziale). sceso alla reception ho chiesto un telecomando e mi hanno risposto che ne erano rimasti sprovvisti (per tre giorni di fila, sempre stessa risposta) e che tanto i canali italiani non si vedevano. Al quarto giorno il telecomando è saltato fuori, salgo in camera e stacco il condizionatore che usava la stessa presa e infilo la spina talevisore nelle presa, e un lampeggio mi avvisa che la presa è difettosa e il televisore non si accende. Avviso la reception. E' tuttora come prima. Entro la giornata infine mi hanno montato uno specchio in bagno. Per quanto riguarda i pasti, il primo giorno colazione e cena all'hotel S.Anton, il giorno dopo colazione al Santa Maria e cena al San Anton con una coda di trenta persone per accedere alle pietanze, in somma un disastro. Riguardo variabilità degli alimenti erano praticamente gli stessi tutti i santi giorni, sia al Santa Maria che al S. Anton. Morale, un hotel da evitare!

La stanza é grande ma per farla pulire siamo dovuti scendere alla reception per segnalare, come il cambio degli asciugamani. Un giorno la mattina finisce la carta igienica durante il giorno non ci siamo stati anche per far pulire la stanza e la sera ritornati sono dovuto riscendere per richiederla. La tv non si vede anche se dicono che hai la tv in camera, dopo sollecitato che non c era segnale per 4 volte e che avrebbero provveduto ma non hanno risolto e qhinfi ho lasciato stare, il balcone al buio.

Muito a desejar...

Instalações deixam muito a desejar, funcionários também. Limpeza dos quartos é zero e por vezes nem toalhas para todos deixavam; numa semana o quarto não foi limpo nenhuma vez; TV moderna mas não funcionava; pequeno almoço era simplesmente básico e sem qualidade nenhuma. Não tenciono repetir.
