A unique property offering its guests a walk through the island's history. The outdoor pool is open seasonally and offers guests a relaxing hideout amongst urban Sliema. Highly recommended to those wanting to stay in a more authentic hotel in contrast to the newer properties on the island. (DB 01/09).

All equipped with air-conditioning and heating, direct dialling telephone, radio, TV, tea and coffee making facilities and safe hire.
