"We stayed 7 nights at Tempo Suites and had a very pleasant stay. While the outside of the building is not very attractive, the apartment itself was surprisingly nice — very clean, tidy, and well equipped. The location is excellent, with easy access to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, and Malta’s National Aquarium. Communication with the host was great via Expedia’s message portal. We visited in December and found it mostly quiet at night, with some noise from nearby pubs and...

"We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The view and spa were very nice and we really had a great time. I was surprised being on the top floor that it was so noisy with music from about 2 pm blaring from bars around the apartment, it made it so we couldn’t listen to our music without going inside and closing doors. There are a lot of good restaurants close by and supermarkets. The beds we found very uncomfortable and hard. Also, I wouldn’t normally mention the towels in a review but given that it...

The property is run from an office in Italy and they don’t do well with English. The wi-fi was terrible and the beds were awful. The property location is NOT correct on the Hotels.com app. We ended up going to the wrong area then having to call another car to get to the actual location.
