Lovely Hotel in a Central Location

friendly staff clean room amazing view

The staff was very cute and friendly. The room was huge and super clean. I also enjoyed the little maltese cakes in the room, what a treat! I had a prosecco glass, a welcome gift on the rooftop bar with an amazing view.

The bed was not very comfortable, it was short, and I could not properly stretch my legs. This made for a difficult sleep.
