Overall happy with our stay but…

We spent two nights at this wonderful property. Beautiful setting and hotel blends in nicely with the surrounding. We received a nice welcome when checking in but service throughout our stay was not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was particularly uninspiring. The price per night was very reasonable so I would still recommend it based on the comfort and beautiful setting.

Disappointing

Although rated 5 star, it was rather run down and in urgent need of refurbishment. Our room had a missing shelf in shower. but bathroom was generally in need of modernising as shower itself was still wirh cubicle. The worst thing was the broken and rusty ladder at the Lido. I cut myself against it and had to take a tetanus booster. The capsules of Nespresso machine in room were not the original but of an inferior brand. Breakfast was not typical of a 5 star hotel as it lacked good cheeses (only processed was available), there was no prosciutto crudo or genuine cakes.The general upkeep of the premises was also poor with the Maltese stone in all areas needing cleaning as it was no longer white and clean. At check out, we had to ask for receipt of payment, although it had already been taken from our card and we were not asked how our stay went.

Relaxing Stay

Very pleasant stay. Mattress was a bit softer than we are accustomed to, but the room was large and quite comfortable overall. Restaurant and bar service was friendly but inexperienced.

Simply the best!

This is our favourite hotel in the world! It has recently been upgraded with beautiful gardens and redecorated bedrooms. Very comfy beds- I checked out the mattress to see if I can buy one- called Windsor but made in Malta! Another lovely stay with much use of the beautiful spa pool and lovely breakfasts outdoors by the carob tree, with very friendly cats as well! The best relaxing place ever…oh and great evening meals too!

Ta Cenc is a wonderful place to relax. In spite of stormy weather we had a great time; the spa pool is well heated and a lovely setting, and the food was excellent. We have been staying here for 8 years but never in the winter before. The experience was just as enjoyable as on a summer’s day. We’ll be back again in the spring! Ps we love the friendly cats!

A fabulous place to stay, the staff are so helpful and friendly while giving you enough space to enjoy the serene surroundings. The only drawback to the whole place are the en suite bathrooms which are tired and in my case had a shower that didn’t work well.

Upon checkin I asked for a room upgrade seeing the hotel was pretty empty and the receptionist abruptly told me ‘I don’t give upgrades’ without even looking up at me. The room was very basic for the price I paid. Mattress were two singles joined together and all night we kept falling in the middle, which made them open up and had me sinking in the middle! No room service menu in the room, so I called for one and it never arrived! The sunbeds were so uncomfortable that the wooden frame would plunge in your back that it hurt to lay on them and they were filthy with no towels available to put on them. The breakfast was as basic as can be! We ordered some nibbles with our drinks and they never arrived either. I don’t know how this hotel is 5 star with such bad service and mediocre finishing as and ambience. Definitely not worth the $200 a night we paid! We left very disappointed for what was supposed to be a quick luxury weekend getaway, I definitely don’t recommend it!

Charming character property. Lots of flowers in the garden, good swimming pools. The nearby cove is nice, but quite a tough walk in the sun - would recommend having a car. Lots of parking. Large room, with nice bathroom. The air conditioning in the room was weak. Staff shortages meant some facilities were shut and the hotel relied on a fall back excuse of covid-19, when it didn't appear to have anything to do with covid. We couldn't get into the restaurant in the evening - again supposedly "Covid-19" to blame, there are lots of restaurants in two nearest towns - roughly 5km away - so you will need a car. Those restaurants were not suffering from staff shortages and Covid-19 closures.

Too many flies around the breakfast table Too many dead flies and insects on the surface of the swimming pool Cats roaming around outdoor eating area and eating from guest tables - I got bitten by one of them Mismanagement of billing and charges, wasting a lot of holiday time to resolve the opposite of courtesy from a few staff members. Irregular wifi access in the room. Smell of mould in room when the A/C is off Otherwise, beautiful relaxing location, great food, great beack club, and a couple of people doing their job very well and consideratels: David at the restaurant, and Boris at reception.

The Hotel was very nice. I travelled with my 8 year old son and my mother. There are 3 pools and the children are allowed to use only the family pool. However it’s a big pool and there is definitely no draw back. The adult pool is only for the adults. In terms of location: The hotel itself is on the island of Gozo so not on Malta. If you are more interested in exploring Malta, Valetta, Mdina, it’s better to stay on Malta because otherwise like us you pay a lot for transport to get to the ferry’s. That’s about 25 Euros each way. There is a bus stop by the hotel but be aware that the bus comes just every hour. The bus fair is 2 euros and it will take you to Victorija where you will have to change the bus to get to wherever you want to go. It is possible that you will miss the other bus and will have to wait another hour. Taxi was the better option for us. The hotel is secluded and there is not much around it. If you like peace and quiet, then the hotel may be for you. You will have an excellent view onto the ocean from the property. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We ate at their restaurant a few times and the food was very good. The breakfast is buffet style however due to covid the staff now serves the food at the buffet which can take some time. Overall, We don’t regret staying at the hotel. It was a pleasant stay.
