Great walks nearby, and bus services right outside the hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean, the food was excellent and good value, and the staff were fantastic, always more than happy to help. This hotel has to be the place to stay.

The rooftop pool and bar are great facilities to have access to, and the included breakfast was exceptional. The Ritual Diving Center next door is fantastic, fun, and very well organized. The staff are so welcoming, kind, and accommodating, and the value for money is really amazing.

Dive with Ritual, stay somewhere else! The place looks stylish online, but it wasn’t what I wanted for a relaxed diving holiday. The noise was incredibly bad. As other guests have said, you can hear music, karaoke, and parties in every room, even with the windows closed. Some nights I couldn’t sleep even with earplugs. When I mentioned it to staff, they shrugged and said, “It’s lively.” The rooms also feel dark and stuffy. The bedroom has only a tiny window onto an interior shaft, so it lets in the noise but barely any breeze. The concrete balcony walls and railing are so high you can’t see the street, and there are barely any hangers for drying dive gear. We arrived in the middle of the night, thirsty, after the shops had closed, so we bought water from Front. It cost TEN TIMES as much as at the shop, and there wasn’t even a small complimentary bottle in the room. In the morning, they sometimes took 45 minutes just to bring toast with jam, which made us nervous when we had dives scheduled. Go somewhere else, get a good night’s sleep, relax, and pay even less. ;)

I loved the service, the atmosphere, and the room decor. The location is incredibly convenient, and it’s a cool concept having so much going on under one roof. These are my new favorite digs in Xlendi.
