The hotel is in a great location--very central to Valletta. The room was also clean and well laid out. However, the hotel itself didn't live up to earlier reviews and needs to address some basic issues...
When we arrived and turned on the shower for the first time, the very high-pressure showerhead sprayed straight across the bathroom so we had to use towels to mop up the water from the bathroom floor.
As others have noted, the touchpads to control lighting were often unresponsive. They are also very bright and located on both sides of the bed so we had to cover them at night to sleep.
Since Valletta was getting up to 40° C during our trip, we tried to use the thermostat to cool the room more but the room always stayed at 24° even when we set the temp at 18°. We called the front desk and an engineer came and explained that the room thermostat didn't actually change the AC settings. So why put a thermostat in the room that appears to work but doesn't actually work?
The bulb was failing on one of the three main ceiling lights during most of our stay. We decided to not bother with it but since it was quite obvious, it's not clear why their staff didn't notice it.
The hotel thoughtfully left two bottles of complimentary water the first two days we were there. So when they didn't leave any on the third day, we asked at the front desk and a manager said, "No, the complimentary water is only for arrival, not for everyday. Would you like to buy some?"
