Valletta hotels near Fort St. Elmo

Cons: In the Quarterdeck bar, we were very unhappy with one incident. We looked at the specialty gin menu, and decided to order one each. We put the menu down, then the waitress came over and took our order. When we went to pay, we were charged a much higher rate. When I complained, I was told that unless the customer specifically says they are ordering from the special gin menu, they are charged the usual rate for a double gin with a tonic mixer. This adds up to be much more expensive. I asked about the ingredients, and the amounts of gin and tonic are identical. The only difference is the glass it's served in and the garnish. There was no offer to change the price, although I was asked if there was anything else we wanted. This is very, very bad practice. It's clear the staff are told to ring in the order this way unless instructed specifically otherwise. A poor way to make a few more euros, in an otherwise exceptional hotel where staff go out of their way to please. I'm not sure why any customer would choose to pay more for the same drink, so why not just charge the lower price, or at least ask the customer for clarification?

Cons: Expensive bar/food, but you would expect this. The steps to get to Valetta were a slog, nothing mentioned about this in the blog! Seemed as though only the really expensive rooms were given a window view for breakfast.

Cons: They charge you every little thing such as business center without telling me that they have the charge for business center (right after I went to the business center to print my boarding pass they were trying to charge me for 5 euro plus paper) and they claimed that ice bucket was missing after we left hotel and flew back to New York. They charge us for that which we have never seen while we stayed there. They told us that they have inventory list before people come in but who steals the ice bucket? If we need one we don't take the used one. For me this was not the pleasant stay. I had to deal with the bill for the amenities which we had never had. I thought this is 5 star hotel but I would rather stayed 3 star hotel and didn't have to deal with all the burden after I left. Never stay here again.

Cons: The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and service was mediocre - we waited over 30 minutes for our drinks from the poolside service. The buffet breakfast was included in our room price, but it was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. At the price, this is not a hotel i could recommend.

Cons: Room had a terrible view and the carpet had some stains on it.

Cons: Location

Cons: Not enough pool. DIdn't like the area it was located near.
