The hotel was very disappointing overall. The rooms were old, small, and in need of a makeover; the lack of air conditioning made the stay uncomfortable, and the value for money was poor. The service was extremely rude and dismissive, adding to the unpleasant experience. However, the location was convenient, near the bus station and shops, but that was the only positive aspect. The dining experience was below average with unappetizing options, and the facilities did not make up for the shortcomings of the hotel.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I had, apartment 316 located just behind reception, was in need of a proper revamp, and the lack of air conditioning left us freezing on floor 4. It was also quite unusual to have a bathroom with a window in the shower that could be seen from the corridor. However, the service, despite some challenges like staff entering without knocking while we were sleeping, was surprisingly friendly and polite overall. The location, although convenient for a 10-minute walk to the 'beach', was not as lively as I had hoped, but there were good restaurant options nearby.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were adequately clean, but I wish the bathtub had been scrubbed better. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it due to travel issues, which was disappointing. The noise from the street level in a residential area made it hard to sleep, and the breakfast didn't meet my expectations. Overall, not the relaxing stay I had hoped for.

The hotel has a great location in the center of Bugibba, surrounded by shops, bars, and restaurants, just minutes from the sea and bus station. The rooms were not as clean as expected, with some issues that needed attention, but the value for money was decent. The service was mostly cheerful and polite, apart from some staff in the dining room. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few areas to improve.

The hotel is in a location that may not be ideal, feeling dodgy and dirty, like an industrial canteen with poor airflow. However, it offers quick access to the main square and supermarkets nearby. The rooms provide a mix of experiences, with noisy construction in front but comfortable amenities at the back and sides. Service is generally friendly, except for the dining room staff who can be miserable. The dining options vary from disappointing bread to fantastic self-service selections. The facilities are satisfactory, with some drawbacks.
