Never again hostels.com!!

It's terrible to arrive at hotel tired after all night and day travel then you find the claimed 4 star hotel is a damp unventilated dark room with no windows to day light and open air. What is more painful is you are let down by unhelpful Holetls.com customer service!!

Fantastic holiday

This hotel is bang in the middle of the village of Mellieha Malta. From start to finish the staff couldn’t do enough to help you especially the Reception staff and mainly Kis she went above and beyond. Breakfast was good and plenty. We eat our evening meals a few times food was lovely and great value with all your drinks included. The restaurant could have been doing with extra hands x

Hotel was just as the photos showed. Meal options always a good variety to be had. Staff always friendly and polite. We didn't use the spa but pool was open until late and a good temperature. Buses we found to be so easy and frequent to use from outside the hotel connecting all over the island and €2 for a 2 hour ticket super value for money. Good variety of spots to eat in walking distance and some shops to browse around. Would stay here again if visiting Malta.

Prior to my stay I was offered a panoramic balcony view upgrade for a little extra, which i accepted. Upon arrival at the hotel, the room balcony was approximately 6 inches from the next property, and the panoramic view was only left and right side view. Irejected the room as it was not to my expectation of panoramic view. I asked for my original room back, but was not offered a refund on the extra i paid for the panoramic view room. On top of that, the ventilation in the replacement room did not work for 7 nights of my stay, despite numerous handyman visits to try and resolve the issue.

Very clean and modern hotel. Friendly staff. Breakfast had the same options daily but lots of them. Check in was easy. Had a secured luggage area to store our luggage after checkout while waiting for our ride back to airport. Rooms cleaned and clean towel stocked daily. Rooftop pool view is stunning. Indoor heated pool and sauna was good.
