The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly, couldn't do enough for us. The food was great although breakfast became somewhat tedious after 2 weeks of the same things every day with only boiled eggs or scrambled powdered eggs. The rooms although old were clean and the girls came in every day to change towels and see if we needed anything. The entertainment was not to everyones taste and the pool with it being the school holidays was full of kids so you were unable to swim as although it said no inflatables in the pool it was full of them through the day. The local buses were cheap enough for a day ticket and covered all the parts of the island you would want to visit although they were always crowded and you needed to find the best place to go to make sure you got on a bus as the first day we were directed to the nearest stop and waited 1 hour before we could get on but if we walked 5 mins in the other direction we got on a bus every time. Overall Malta is a lovely place to visit i would definately go back but would probably only stay at the Topaz if i took kids or went out of school holidays
