Great staff and good location”

The hotel itself was old and in need of an update. However, the location was good as there was a bus stop right outside making it easy to get into Valletta and also to other destinations. The staff were very helpful, especially Ros on reception and Joe. I was upgraded to a top floor room (room 67) for the fantastic views and although my room didn't have a balcony, it had a huge front window to admire the view. Breakfast was 8 euros extra but I only opted to eat there a couple of times as the choice was limited and there wasn't much fresh produce. The only real issue I had with the hotel was with the electrical sockets. Fortunately I had brought my own 2 to 3 pin adapters together with a multi extension leas but there were only 4 sockets in the room, two of which were for the TV and side lamp. The other two had been misused and burnt out presumably by guests trying to adapt their plugs to the Maltese sockets! So I ended up using the extension lead with multi sockets which I had brought with me. This was a godsend as there are no sockets next to the beds!!! The rooftop pool area was a nice bonus as the views from there were amazing and it was a nice area to sit and wait for my airport transfer after checking out. On the whole I would recommend the hotel for budget holidaymakers but if you prefer a bit of luxury then this 3 star hotel is not for you.

I recon this hotel is good. However, some basic things could be upgraded: - Wardrobe doors was falling from frames - Windows were a little bit destroyed - missing seals caused window to come inside the room, water was leaking through upper part of window. - Low pressure of water in the bathroom But these were only cons because: + Pool at the roof + Amazing view from the window + About 15 secs to bus stop (not kidding) + Really hot water in the bathroom + Electric kettle and hair dryer in the room + Air Conditioner in the room + Everyday cleaning service So at the end of the day it was great expirience to stay in this hotel.

The hotel is pretty simple and average 3 star hotel. We were only sleeping in it, so it worked great for us. The floor wasn't cleaned when we came in, but the next day it was all cleaned and good. The bed wasn't comfortable for me, but it was ok for my partner. The only thing that we really didn't like was the breakfast. You can find much better food in cafes near by for the same price.

Run-down rooms,, excellent location”

You need to sacrifice a lot here. Run-down hotel with decaying rooms,, old mattresses that should have been changed to new ones 10 years ago. The elevator is so small that 2 people with luggage would struggle to squeeze in. There is absolutely no sound proofing here, you can clearly hear everything both from the street and the corridor. No fridge, only one socket (the usual British type with 3 holes) far away from the bed and the desk, close to the floor. Absolutely useless. However beautiful view from the sun roof, excellent location, nice staff. Your choice but think twice.

Cold and dirty”

First of all, the name itself is very misleading as it has nothing to do with the Carlton hotels chain. It was so cold in the room that it was almost impossible to get up from the bed without shivering. We had difficulties to even take a shower due to very weak water pressure. The room corners were full of spider webs and the floor in the bathroom was apparently not washed prior our arrival. On the other hand the hotel staff was very nice - the hotel manager, the cleaning lady we’ve met. Oh and the lift! It’s very tiny and looks like it’s going to collapse anytime soon. It wasn’t possible to take the lift from the 7th floor where we had our room (it wouldn’t open there). Overall it was a terrible stay and I cannot imagine the disappointment of the guests who paid full price (we found it on great discount).

Just perfect!”

Before booking, I was unsure if it would be better to stay in the centre of Valletta or in the neighbouring district of Sliema. I think I made the right decision! This hotel is a minute from the beach and about ten minutes from the main shopping and restaurant areas, and there is a bus stop right outside which makes day trips a piece of cake. All of the staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience very enjoyable. My room was cosy-not huge, but big enough for one person. There were some English TV channels (and not just the news!), plus Netflix (which, lucky for me, the previous guest had forgotten to log out of!). So, in short, visit Valletta and sleep in Sliema!
