The 28-unit Park Lane Aparthotel is
a family-run, four-pearl apartment hotel that combines the value and comfort of apartment
living with the extra amenities of 24-hour hotel-style service, including daily
housekeeping. The sunny, simple apartments, most with ocean-inspired blue and white decor, range from Comfort Single Rooms to the gorgeous Penthouse Apartment with a private sundeck; most have kitchenettes. The property is bright, modern, and clean, with a
lovely rooftop pool and sun terrace that offers panoramic water views. However, there's no bar or restaurant and breakfast -- while available -- costs extra. Still, this is one of the best (and best-regarded) properties in Qawra; the much larger db San Antonio Hotel & Spa is another good upscale option with more property features but its rooms lack kitchens and it tends to be pricier.
Scene
Modern apartment hotel with boutique atmosphere and plenty of common space
The Park Lane Aparthotel is a small, modern
apartment hotel with the intimate feeling of a boutique property. It differs from other apartment hotels in that it has sizable
common spaces where guests can hang out and socialize. The lobby is bright and
fresh, with a Mediterranean color palette of white, blue and brown as well as comfortable armchairs and a pair of large flat-screen TVs. There's also a fully stocked honor bar available in
the lobby around the clock, so guests don’t have to go far for a nightcap. In addition,
there is a rooftop pool and sun terrace with panoramic views of the
city and the sea. The pool isn’t big enough for exercise, but it’s perfect for
a dip, and the chic white beach umbrellas and lounge chairs make it a tempting spot to relax in the sun. The
Park Lane feels spacious and cheerful, with none of the bargain vibe often
found in self-catering hotels. Families and business guests planning lengthy stays will
find this an excellent value for money.
Location
On St. Paul's Bay, surrounded by bars, restaurants, and shops
The Park Lane Aparthotel is located in the seaside
town of Bugibba, on St. Paul’s Bay, with spectacular sea views from the hotel’s
rooftop. The immediate area is busy, and the hotel is surrounded by city
streets lined with shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. The hotel itself is on a more
quiet street, but guests can find plenty in the way of nightlife and entertainment within a few blocks. The Bugibba bus station is just across the road, and while the hotel doesn’t have
parking, there is a public parking lot close by for guests with cars. The airport is just over half an hour away by car.
Rooms
Bright, sunny, spacious and modern, most with balconies and full kitchens
Rooms at the Park Lane Aparthotel range from Single Rooms for solo travelers to Family
Apartments, and the crowning glory: a rooftop Penthouse with a private sundeck,
direct pool access, and gorgeous views. All units are sunny, bright, and
spacious, with light-wood furniture and a blue, white, and brown Mediterranean
palette that reflects the seacoast outside. All apartments have balconies, some
with water views. Even the Single Rooms have toasters, kettles, and mini-fridges, and the other categories have small but tidy and fully equipped kitchenettes, with
refrigerators, two- or four-burner cooktops, microwaves, dishes, cookware, and
utensils. Amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with satellite
channels, in-room safes, free bottled water, and electrical adapters. Bathrooms are small -- some are downright tiny -- but they are clean and modern. Some rooms
are not yet renovated, and guests are advised to request an updated room.
Features
Rooftop pool and sun terrace, lobby honor bar, continental breakfast, and fun tours for all ages
The Park Lane Aparthotel features a lovely
rooftop terrace with a pretty mosaic-covered pool and panoramic Mediterranean views
with the St. Paul’s Islands in the distance. A continental breakfast is served
in the lobby each morning, with hot dishes cooked to order, but it costs extra. There
is an extensively stocked honor bar in the lobby with plenty of space for
hanging out there or on the street level terrace. There's also a small
lending library and Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. The Park Lane staff offers a number of
fantastic excursions for all ages that can be arranged at the time of booking, including rock climbing, kayaking, and cultural entertainment programs.
