In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are clean but dated — A few guests note that while spotless, the rooms are not new and the decor could use updating.
- Dining score is lower than other categories — The hotel's dining category scores 5 out of 10, suggesting that while breakfast is praised, other dining aspects (such as on-site restaurant options) may not meet the same standard.
- Limited evening check-in window — Check-in is from 15:00 to 22:00, which could be restrictive for late arrivals. The 24-hour reception helps, but the official window ends at 10 pm.

8.2Verified guest“The location, staff, and room cleanliness were all excellent.”
8.2Verified guest“A clean room, though not new, very tidy. Breakfast was good. It's a 10-minute walk to the centre and 5 minutes to the station. Quiet and comfortable bed.”
8.2Verified guest“We were very pleased with the hotel. The three of us took a taxi from Bologna airport, which cost about €6 each and was worth the 15-minute trip. The hotel is very central, close to all main attractions, and the station is just a 5-minute walk. Breakfast was great, especially the cakes. Well worth the price, and we'd certainly recommend it to our friends in Malta.”
