I visited Malta in mid February for a business trip. the company i work for booked a double room for me at the Golden Tulip Vivaldi hotel.
I arrived in the hotel in the evening and my first impression what rather positive, the reception area i big and quite pleasant. the person at the front desk checked me in quickly.
I went up to my room, and that is when the appointment started. when i walked in the room it smelled terribly like mold, i couldn't even walk in because of the strong smell. immediately i requested to switch rooms, the new room i was given was even worse - the smell was unbearable, i decided it was better to return to my previous room as there the smell less horrible.
The rooms is very old and it's apparent that it was not renovated in the past years. the bed is not a actual double bed but two singled put together. for me it didn't matter but if a couple is planning a vacation there it will be uncomfortable.
the sheets did not look clean and i had disgusting stains on the blanket. the bed spread is also the blanket and it was very dusty. not to mention that i has ants in the bed as well as in the shower.
The breakfast is a quite standard and was fine. not a huge diversity but enough. if you are looking for a place with a rich breakfast this is not it.
My overall experience was terrible - i hardly spent any time at the hotel and couldn't wait to leave. the basis of a good hotel and one that calls itself a 4 start hotel is clean rooms - and i certainly didn't have that.
