Disappointing.
I had seen the reviews of this hotel after booking it but we were walking the Gozo coastal path and this was right on the route so went with it. We also got it at a discounted price. First off I will say the good bits. The foyer downstairs is nice, they let us check in early, they allowed us to store our bag and kept it safe and there was Wi-Fi. Now the rest — the breakfast is easily the worst hotel breakfast I have ever had. I saw the list of who was staying in the hotel (as nobody greated us for breakfast) there was 8 couples staying in the whole hotel. We got to breakfast at 7:20, it started at 7 and the food was like it had been sat ready for ages or recycled from another day. Even the fruit was bad. The cups had chips and cracks in them and were stained. We did get a nice view though of the bay. There was a mix up with our room and the hotel wouldn't give us the sea view we had paid for and were demanding extra money. It wasn't their fault it but they were unwilling to help us and told us to contact Agoda which then took hours and they were unable to sort. When I saw the next day only 8 couples were staying I can't understand why they wouldn't place us in one of those rooms anyway. The room itself was pretty clean but was a bit tired. The curtains were very dirty and had holes in them. The air con made noises all night and we couldn't get it to work to cool the room so it was very hot. There was a fridge but it had rusting shelves inside.

The room was honestly run down. Some tiles were broken and wobbly in the room. The morning shower had no hot water, the chair in the room was ripped up on one of the arms. The shower curtain has big black stains.
The staff was really nice and sweet, except when we ordered room service we had to explain for 3 minutes over the phone from our room that we didn’t check out in emergency and that we were indeed in the room waiting for our food. The pizza was definitely not made on site, and my Coke turned out to be a Coke Zero. I wouldn’t recommend their food, but I can’t say it enough, the staff at the front desk was awesome, friendly and welcoming.
Great location, and dog friendly!

This hotel is a bit of a mash up of modern and old. Basically clean and staff helpful. Decent sized rooms but a tiny bathroom with shower over the bath.
Breakfast was dreadful as supposedly hot food was basically tepid. OK if you just want cold food, but limited fruit and no muesli. Fruit juice was weak and we had to ask for teaspoons to eat a small tub of yogurt. Toast was either underdone or burned, depending how often you put it through the machine. Goodness only knows what Room Service food or Evening Meals in the 'restaurant' was like.
The bed was two singles pushed together. Therefore the quilt wasn't big enough and was on sideways with the opening down one side and the quilt stuck out as the cover wasn't big enough. We also found holes in the quilt cover.
Didn't use the ceiling fan over the bed as the blades were rusty.
The bathroom grouting was black in places, although the tiles looked clean. I had to ask for a non slip mat to go in the base of the bath. They did provide one, but without any grab rails, having a shower was a risky business. Towels very basic too.
The overall finish of everything in the holed was OK until you looked closely. Great view from the balcony, but chairs and table faded and flaking. Pool area needed lots of TLC.
OK as a base to look around the island.

As a hotel, absolutely fine. The room we had was a good size, although the bathroom is a bit small. But a large, very comfortable bed.
The breakfast was average at best. Watered down juice, iffy quality cooked food and no maltese fare.
The real selling point is the view. If you come, get a room with a balcony view of the sea. It is stunning!

Location is at Marsalforn bay, convenient with restaurants and beaches around but sometimes cars can't get in the street in front of the hotel so not so handy with Bolt or Uber.
Room were ok. Simple, have everything you need, TV, refrigerator, electric kettle.
We had small balcony that face side of the hotel and in far Seaview.
In the hallway of our room we could smell cooking from the kitchen so it's not so nice.
Breakfast were nice. Variety of food and have small terrace you can enjoy morning view of Marsalforn.
Rooftop is swimming pool, sun beds and bar. Self-service. Cocktails were nice, served in plastic cup.
Fantastic view from Rooftop. Beautiful sunset there.
Ladies at reception were kind and helpful. They helped us with store luggages before check in time.
With check out we asked for late check in because my husband felt unwell. They had option to stay till 3 pm for 30 euro. (Normal check out time is 11 am)

This certainly was not a four-star-hotel. Maybe in the old days, it was. Now it's old fashioned hotel with old furniture which is falling apart-like the chair in our room. The room was clean and the bathroom had a bath which was very nice!
The major downside was the heating system which was too loud to use while sleeping. We turned it off and slept in a really chilly room.
The restaurant was fine-with standard selection of breakfast products. It had a lovely view over the bay.
Overall, I must admit I'd not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I returned 2 days ago from the Hotel Calypso after a lovely 2 week stay and I can't wait till I go back again… I have already booked for next May. The hotel is beautifully situated on the bay with many restaurants lining the harbour. When I arrived I was delighted to find that I had been upgraded to a room with a sea view. The room was quite spacious and I slept very well in a big comfortable bed. The view from my balcony was amazing and it was very nice to find there was a small fridge in the room. The buffet breakfast was very good with both continental and cooked and there was always a plentiful supply of fresh fruit. The rooms were very clean and were made over every day. The view from the roomtop is brilliant… there are plenty of comfortable sun loungers. A big thank you to all the staff who were always very friendly and welcoming, especially Alexandra and her two colleagues in reception who were only too happy to help.

This hotel is a great beach side hotel. Expect ceramic floors and clean rooms. They could be renovated but they are not worn out and are kept very clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hotel services and amenities were just what I needed. The breakfast also offers a great selection and you can eat on the terrace facing the bay. All around great experience!

We stayed at this hotel between the 9th and 11th September on A half board basis. Although the rooms were comfortable and clean with a great view, I do not recommend you stay on A half board basis. There were no food options whatsoever in the evening dinner. Furthermore, the portions were extra small. For starters, we ordered fresh ravioli but were given tortellini instead, and were not advised about it beforehand. The options given by the management were also very scarse. We asked whether we could cancel our half board stay for the day and were given an option to choose a one course meal upstairs in the sunset bar. However, when we got there we were treated very poorly as if we were being punished. At first, the head waiter was very rude and gave us the same scarse menu we were given downstairs where we were told that we can only choose one option from the menu. We explained that we are still there on A half board basis and it was not acceptable that we can only choose one option from the half board menu. After long discussions and phone calls, we were finally given another menu with many more options to choose from. However, for the rest of the night we were treated as unwanted guests, where the waiter was also rude, did not offer us any wine list menu with no courtesy whatsoever.
If you choose to go to this hotel, I do not recommend half board definitely.

Staff was very helpful however hotel was a mess! Beds are very hard to sleep on (personal opinion), no black outs in the room, no water pressure in the shower, no water bottles available in the room, empty mini fridge, bedroom door doesnt lock well, old towels, smell of drainage in pool area, overly priced and definitely not a 4star hotel.

Very comfortable and cleaned hotel. Our room had an amazing view on Malsaforn's bay. Everything was perfect, food and service excellent. A special mention goes to all the professional staff of the restaurants, in particular to Max, Diego, Samir, Ivana; they always did their best to satisfy our requests. Highly recommended!
