I gave 4/5 stars but the staff of this hotel are actually 5/5 stars! The staff of Noru are so kind, vibrant, and happy; more than I've experienced in 5* hotels; so i will return when i visit Malta again. The breakfast is also really nice, again, better than I've experienced in most European hotels I've been to. Then the pool on the roof is excellent, so refreshing while sunbathing there on hot days, with an excellent view!
You just have to be aware of the occasional fumes from the chimney while lounging on the west side of the roof. Likewise, the rooms are an excellent size, with gigantic beds and a huge modern TV; but while i recognise the design ethos - all the light switches being black on black walls, makes it a challenge to turn them on when returning at night! Maybe consider a small dim LED nightlight in the entrance light switch for next refurb (hotel was opened last year though, hehe). Also, the elevator requires a better explanation showing new guests to use the keycard for ascending.
