Overall a great time in Valletta. the hotel is good but a few points let us down hence 4 stars. Not sure if we’d come back to hotel Le Brun. TBC
Positive:
-Great pool, good lounger layout
-large room (duplex suite)
-quiet hotel - not far from centre
- V. nice breakfast staff (except one see below)
Negative:
- A couple members at reception were poor: a) they gave us someone else’s bill which had that guest’s personal information like phone, email, full name etc. and when we pointed this out to the receptionist she just laughed! b) misinformation- sent us to a non-existent market, sent us down the worst possible route to the ferry, bad recommendation for a restaurant…
- one of the male staff at breakfast kept touching our 2-year old girl and by the third time I moved her so he couldn’t reach her. It may have been innocent but it made us uncomfortable.
- The room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. On arrival we found 2 false nails on the floor and throughout our stay, despite tipping, the floor was never swept, towels were not always replaced/some missing etc.
- the awful quality rubber mattress protector that make you sweat like you’re in a sauna.
- Breakfast hot food is a bit meh (trying to be too fancy)
- Hotel in steep hills. Pavement very slipper, not good for those less able to walk or with a wheelchair or pram
Will definitely come back to Malta, not sure about this hotel.
Must try: Sphinx for pastizz, Ortygia for Sicilian food, lot 61 for coffee, Why Not? for wine bar
