The location is very convenient with a great supermarket right next door. We did experience a few hiccups during our stay, such as a leaking bathroom sink and a cockroach in our room, but housekeeping deserves praise for handling it incredibly fast. Good to know for future guests: the breakfast is not self-service and the gym could use an update since some of the equipment is older or out of order. Overall an okay stay, but there is definitely some room for improvement regarding maintenance.
The breakfast experience was not pleasant at all, what hotel has all the food behind plastic screens and you cannot help yourself, you ask the staff for each item you want, joke am l not capable of plating my own food. The staff have no interaction with the guests it's like being in a school dinner experience, all the photos show food open and no screens on Web site, and breakfast closes at 9am far to early any modern hotel finishes at 10am.
The hotel is good staff outside of dining room excellent and friendly, bar area a little dated, location is fine.
Just a pity breakfast experience does not come up to standard, also lots of people in pyjamas at breakfast not acceptable, for the breakfast and dinning would not recommend unless big changes are made
Nice pool. Good drinks prices. Convenient location

All areas of the hotel were clean. The staff were very polite and helpful. The food was good, not excellent, it was buffet style but you didn’t get to plate it yourself. Good choice of drinks with All inclusive. Didn’t get to use the pools, only small but the looked good. We would probably book again.
The hotel suited my needs good selection of food for breakfast pleasant staff and a nice indoor pool.

Average hotel
The hotel had a good breakfast buffet and dinner was reasonable priced I ate it once. I only stayed due to the good value per night and it been a 4 star, its not of 4 star standard in Ireland but I guess you dont need much to be a 4 star in Malta.
Very good customer service, staff was attentive and helpful. Transport from hotel was very safe and convenient. Busses ran on time and on a whole everything was cost effective, especially the shop within the hotel. Also the hotel decor is fitting regarding the time it was built. There are mordern hotels in the area, but it is obvious these buildings have been built recently and cannot be compared to Bella Vista Hotel.
Staff were exceptional. The hotel is a little out of the way from bars / restaurants / Activities. (Except for the park across the road). Also parking is difficult (it always is in Malta though). Sitting outside the front is very noisy due to busy road. The pool area is fine.
This hotel is in a great location close to shops and promenade with an easy access to buses and other locations by car
The room was thoroughly cleaned everywhere including washing the floor and make the beds look pretty.
The breakfast was nice and I like the idea of being served rather than self service. This makes it more hygienic. Evening entertainment was great and the bar staff were really friendly.
Will definitely return.
Also liked the shop near the reception. Friendly lady served us and the prices are reseobable.
The hotel offered us everything we expected. We were half board and found the food varied and plentiful.
The room was clean and had a fridge and kettle,however no tea or coffee provided. The bed was comfortable.There was a hairdryer. Hot water was instant and always available.
The hotel has several bus stops around and is within walking distance of the sea front.
The staff were very efficient ,polite and friendly.
My only criticism is that our room had very little daylight but we didn't spend that much time inside!
It's not a 4* hotel..
Hotel location and common facilities:
- The hotel has a bus stop near by but if you are looking for dining places, beach or activities you'll have to walk 15 / 20 min or take a bus / drive. There is nothing close by, except one or two convenience shops;
- The hotel as a whole looks old and outdated, like it had stopped in time
- Most of the time there was no AC on in the reception / lobby area or in the restaurant, so it got really hot
- The swimming pool is small and because of the huge wall that surrounds it, you get a lot of shadow in the afternoon (after 3pm)
Our room:
- It was located in the back of the hotel, seemed like an extra part of the building, given we had to use a different lift to get there;
- The room was not the one we booked, as it had kitchen and our initial one didn't. However, this kitchen was useless, because there was nothing to use it (not even a bowl or a fork). Actually the only thing we could use was the fridge that was super noisy at night, while we wanted to sleep;
-There were no blackout curtains, so at 6am you could get naturally awake by the sunshine. Even with the toilet door closed, one could hear water going down the pipes every time someone was using the toilet in the rooms above. The windows were old and all outside noise was heard.
- The bed was old and not comfy at all.
There was mold in the WC.
The breakfast was poor and the restaurant looked like a greenhouse so hot there
Everything was beyond perfect! All staff were amazing with us, except one woman from reception she was mean to us by asking just one question, either way what a lovely trip and stay!!!
