About the location
The tiny island of Gozo lives in the shadow if its big sister, Malta – which is great for those in the know. It means that its prehistoric cities, Game of Thrones coastline and growing collection of boutique hotels are crowd-free even in high summer.
Victoria is the capital of Gozo – a little citadel city that plants itself in the middle of island. Its medieval walls loop around Gozo Cathedral, the 17th-century Gozo Museum of Archaeology and the church-like Old Prison. You can also take a walk around the costume and folk exhibits at the Gran Castello Historic House.
Xaghra village lies just east of Victoria. It’s home to the toppled megalithic temples of Ggantija, which are thought to be around 6,000 years old.
For more in the way of panoramic views, head for the coast. The famous Azure Window sea arch was a casualty of the 2017 storms, but it’s been given a new lease of life as a scuba diving site of huge broken boulders and settling sea life. The rest of the coastline is sketched out in plunging cliffs and deep-cut bays with wide-ranging views of Comino, Malta and the Mediterranean.

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Malta airport. This transfer includes a ferry crossing of approximately 25 minutes.

My husband and me stayed in the hotel for two nights as part of our honeymoon trip. We were deeply impressed by the kindness and responsiveness of all the staff and our host Sharon.
The jacuzzi suite was tastefully designed, spotlessly clean and spacious. In fact in the evening we were in a hurry to get back to our room, as it felt like one of the main attractions of the island. It was a pleasure to stay in the sun on the terrace and look over the beautiful park next to the hotel. The jacuzzi experience was also very satisfying.
Breakfast was great; with lots of things to choose from. Location is very convenient.
We were really sad to leave this exceptional place so quickly, and we'd be very happy to return one day. We highly recommend it.

A very unusual location for a hotel and one we were very apprehensive about before we arrived. Set above a shopping mall!! But it was excellent not at all a problem. The mall included a wonderful supermarket which would put some of our supermarkets to shame and a great eating place, so convenient. Although the hotel is bang in the centre of busy Victoria, our room was remarkably quite if you didn???t count the church bells of course. The bus station is just behind the hotel so easy to get to other places on the island and a very good bus service too. If we visited the hotel again we would choose a different room. Our room was a standard room with no view at all but we were lucky enough to have a small balcony just a pity there weren???t a couple of chairs and a table. We also had a connecting door so there was a lack of privacy which we didn???t like.The room itself was excellent. Spacious, clean and well planned out, every aspect of the room worked extremely well. The room service was second to none,the staff were lovely and worked very hard, the best we???ve ever experienced. Breakfast was very good and beautifully presented although there was a lack of space on the serving tables, wasn???t a huge problem but it made it a little difficult .
The hotel lacks the facilities of a normal hotel which made it feel more like a B&B but if that???s suits your needs then I would highly recommend it.

All the staff were amazing, didn't matter whether it was housekeeping, waiting staff, reception, they were very helpful and friendly, especially Tania. The room was spacious, and the hotel was centrally located, only a five minute walk from the bus stop.
Breakfast was exceptional. We even ordered from the restaurant below at no extra cost and was able to eat on the balcony. Just a lovely stay. Wouldhighly recommend.

We spent three nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was spacious, stylish and comfortable. Breakfast was a very good buffet. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.
Only slight problems were :- the lack of good lighting in the room and the Warren of lifts and access to the hotel took a bit of sorting out. Basically the hotel is over a shopping centre and there are two points of access.
It's very close to the bus station which is handy for getting about the island . Most major sights in Victoria are easily accessible.
