Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Limited front desk hours can be frustrating for after hours questions and requests. Paying for AC is a new one for me and I frankly believe that the cost of AC needs to be included in the hotel room price and unlimited during your stay especially during hot summer months. The location is safe and walkable but in a hill. Staff were friendly and willing to work with us.

It was a quiet place, clean, looked exactly in the photos. Close to shops, restaurants, bus stops. Just seven minutes walk to the nearest beach. This was an excellent price for value, while in a budget category, it contained all basic amenities, I needed. The communication before and during the stay with the Family was prompt, friendly, professional.

Warm and very helpful host with a seemingly genuine aim to give guests a good experience and service. Spotlessly clean. A short walk from any number of cafes and from the shore. A tip to other guests: important check in instructions are sent by text from 356 number as well as by email, make sure to read and keep both - you will need the text information for access.

Quiet location, close to all amenities

A lovely large room, with balcony towards the sea, fully stocked kitchen with gas stove/hob and large fridge, fan, wifi and air conditioning for small extra charge (we didn't need as had a good breeze with balcony door open and using the provided wall fan). 10 minute walk to beach, buses, numerous restaurants and attractions. Cheap (and delicious) pizza restaurant directly downstairs. A great place to stay for those on a budget.

Une belle semaine pour découvrir Malte et ses iles ( Gozo et Comino). Notre appartement à été confortable, spacieux et pratique. Il est équipé de tout ce dont on a besoin pour cuisiner, réchauffer ou s'installer comme chez soi. Le personnel de l'hôtel est très respectueux, très aidant et a l'écoute de ses clients, on a passé une très belle semaine avec notre bébé de 11 mois et l'equipe à aménager dans la chambre un lit pour notre enfant. La proximité de la mer, des bateaux pour visiter les autres îles et des lieux de restauration on été un plus pour nous. La propriété des lieux est tout a fait correcte et la literie est confortable. Mon conjoint et moi recommandons cette établissement pour votre sejour sur Malte, d'une part par sa proximité de tout ( transport, mer, restaurant, lieu touristique, superette...) mais aussi et surtout pour l'accueil chaleureuse de cette famille qui ont fait de cet endroit un fabuleux lieu de repos et de commodités pour les personnes qui sont de passage. Merci encore a toute l'équipe du For Rest Aparthotel de nous avoir aussi bien accueilli.

Perto da praia

Fiquei no local por 3 semanas, tem próximo mercadinhos onde se pode comprar o necessário, além de frutas e legumes. O apartamento é próximo da praia onde há diversos bares e restaurantes. Durante o período tive um problema quanto a arrumação do quarto, pois no momento da arrumação não foram repostos o tapete do banheiro, pano de pia e o principal - o cobertor. Como cheguei tarde na acomodação (após as 19h) a recepção já estava fechada e a saída foi enviar um e-mail, porém, fui atendida somente no dia seguinte, precisei improvisar coberta com as toalhas do quarto e o lençol da outra cama, já que nao estava calor (17°C a 18°C). A mesma situação no banheiro, onde precisei usar a toalha de mão como tapete e na cozinha, o pano de louça para secar a pia. Isso foi muito ruim e negativo. Outro problema e em relação a coberta, é uma manta fina que não tem nada de térmico. Em meu penúltimo dia fizeram uma arrumação no spot de luz do banheiro e, de noite, ele quase despencou sobre a minha cabeça ficando pendurado.

Ottima posizione. Ideale a famiglie con bambini

Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo soggiornato in quest' aparthotel la prima settimana di settembre. Gli appartamenti sono recentemente ristrutturati ampi e forniti di tutto il necessario. Ottima la pulizia e il cambio biancheria a metà settimana. Se si prenota tramite il loro sito si ha a disposizione il transfert gratuito da e per ľaeroporto. Tutta la famiglia che gestisce la struttura parla anche l'italiano ed è stata molto cordiale ed accogliente, dandoci anche alcune informazioni su cosa visitare sull'isola. Buona la posizione a due passi dal centro di Bugibba dove ci sono parecchi locali,negozietti, le fermate degli autobus e le partenze per escursioni in barca per Gozo e Comino. L' unica pecca è la mancanza di parcheggio privato, noi che abbiamo noleggiato la macchima abbiamo faticato ogni giorno per trovare un posto, a parte questo molto consigliato.

Preis-Leistung sehr gut

Ein Bad, eine Küche, ein Schlafzimmer und ein Balkon. Nichts auf Luxusniveau, der Kühlschrank hat z.b. schon einige Schrammen gehabt,aber insgesamt hat man sein eigenes Reich und alles hat funktioniert.Die Wifi Verbindung war nicht immer Stabil, aber OK. Bushaltestellen sind in der Nähe um überall hinzukommen. Nur wenn man sehr Früh abreisen möchte, um zur Fähre oder zum Flughafen zu kommem, kann es mit dem Bus knapp werden.
