Definitely not 4 star


General Comments

The Topaz Aparthotel in Malta is listed in some reviews as 4 star, and that is what I expected. Some other reviews list it as 3 star, and that is about what we got, although I have stayed in better 3 star accommodation. The reception area is the only 4 star area.

We had several nights of disturbed sleep from guests walking and talking in the tiled corridors. Carpet would deaden the sound, but the long, narrow corridors echo and amplify the noise.

The food was OK, but definitely not 4 star.
For half board and all inclusive guests, the hotel offers an option to swap a meal in the normal restaurant for a meal in their pizza restaurant next door. The value of the pizza meal is approximately half the value of the normal restaurant, plus you still have to pay for the extras. Also the salad here had bits of tuna through it.

The hotel is in a run down condition throughout, except for the reception area. It needs a coat of paint and some general maintenance - as detailed below:

1. Although crime is low in Malta and we did not have any problems, our balcony door would not lock.
2. The toilet would not flush properly.
3. The mattresses were lumpy, uncomfortable and noisy.

Malta overall was enjoyable, and the buses are definitely the way to travel. You can also get multiple day tickets which offer good savings over single trip fares.
