What are the top guest reviews of Downtown Hotel?

The top reviews of Downtown Hotel are: This review is based on my holiday at the Downtown hotel in January 2020. This was a package holiday on B&B terms booked through Chevron. WHY I LIKE THIS HOTEL – It has a lovely location close to the centre of Rabat/Victoria. It is very easy to sit on the terrace or balcony, drink a nice cup of coffee, relax and let the world pass by. My rooms have always been comfortable and pleasant. This hotel is a good base for leisurely walking around Gozo. Will I return to Downtown? Definitely. LOCATION – Downtown is on a sloping side road close (gentle uphill walk) to the centre of Rabat/Victoria. I made lots of trips to both Rundle Gardens and the Citadel. (If the steep street up to the Citadel is a bit challenging then do try the alternative route via Triq Mro Giuseppe Giardini Vella which leads to a gate into the lowest part of the grass landscaped area in the ditch). In theory my walks are easier than when I stay at a hill top or sea level hotel but in practice the easier the walk then the further I am tempted to walk. A sports hall and a school or college campus are close to the hotel; in my opinion noise from them is not intrusive. ROOM – I had a room on the south side of the hotel which meant that my balcony was pleasantly warm in the winter sunlight. My room was comfortable, had plenty of storage and had a mini bar stocked with drinks and nibbles. My room had a double bed (I didn't note if the mattress was a double or two singles) with a memory foam topper (very comfortable). My room had two bedside tables, a desk and chair, television, fridge, wardrobe and a suitcase table. POWER – There were two sockets high up on a wall. There were two sockets behind the television (one for the kettle and one unused). The television uses a European Schuko socket. There was one bedside socket. STORAGE – There was plenty of storage for my needs. The desk had a drawer. The two bedside tables each had a drawer and cubby hole. There were two shelves and a safe in the wardrobe. There were two coat hooks on the wall close to the wardrobe. LIGHTING was good. My room had a light over the desk, a light at each bedside, a light on one wall and a light in the ceiling close to the room door. HEATING – I didn't need to heat or cool my room. TEA, COFFE AND MINI BAR FACILITIES were provided which meant I usually spent longer than intended in the morning on my balcony leisurely drinking a cup of tea or coffee. The mini bar was stocked with a good assortment of drinks and nibbles. BATHROOM – This was nicely laid out with a bath that incorporated a wall–hung shower head. There was a wall–hung hair dryer. The bathroom was lit by a light above the mirror. WI–FI – No problems whatsoever with the wi–fi in my room. ROOM CHANGE – Rooms on the south side of the hotel overlook the road (see ROOMS – NORTH OR SOUTH SIDE? below). Traffic noise is usually unintrusive but this year was different. A fault with the balcony door meant it could not close completely and the small gap was letting more traffic noise into my room. I went to Reception to ask if another room might be available and two minutes later I was moving to an adjacent room. DINING ROOM, BREAKFAST, COFFEE SHOP – Cooked breakfasts are the norm at Downtown and there was usually a choice of at least three styles of egg (e.g. boiled, fried and scrambled) plus tomatoes and toast etc.. The choice was a bit less for cereals and salads. There was a copious supply of pots of yoghurt. The hot drink machine produced a very good range of hot drinks. My favourite was its cup of black coffee which invariably accompanied me and a croissant (or two) onto the terrace to watch the world (you've guessed) go by. The hotel seemed to have a good passing trade in breakfasts (rather than breakfasts being the reserve of hotel guests). The dining room is at the left front of Downtown. A coffee shop (or is it a cafe or pizzeria or bar?) is adjacent to the dining room. This coffee shop is popular with local people which I reckon is a good sign. I had a couple of evening meals here. The quality of the food was excellent, prices were modest and the service was very good. There was a pleasant 'atmosphere' of people chatting and eating. STAFF AND SERVICE – The standard of service all round (dining room, cafe, reception and housekeeping) was excellent. The housekeeping ladies cleaned my room to a very good standard and were very helpful with local knowledge about shops, cafes and suchlike. I was impressed with the prompt service when I asked to move to another room. THE BUILDING – The slope of the side road means that the front left of the hotel is slightly above pavement level and the front right of the hotel is around 3m above pavement level. A terrace runs along the front of the hotel. As with my room's balcony the terrace was a lovely place to drink coffee and watch the world pass by. There is a roof terrace but I believe it is closed in the winter season. The hotel does not have any grounds of its own but that's not a problem given that Rundle Gardens are close by. ROOMS – NORTH OR SOUTH SIDE? The south side overlooks the road and the school campus and sports hall. Noise wasn't intrusive by my standards except when (as described above) my room had a faulty balcony door. The south side is, of course, the sunny side and my balcony was a lovely place to drink coffee and relax a while. The north side overlooks green countryside, Tas Salvatur hill and Marsalforn. The twinkling lights in the distance are, I believe, on the south coast of Sicily. The north side does not get much sunlight so in summer its rooms are probably comfortably cool. In winter the room heating (based on my one stay in a north room) is very effective. If you are uncomfortable with 'open' balconies (i.e. with railings) then you may like the north balconies which have solid walls..

“A lovely hotel to relax and enjoy Victoria/Rabat and meander gently around Gozo.”

SUMMARY – This review is based on my holiday at the Downtown hotel in January 2019. This was my second holiday at this hotel. Downtown hotel is a lovely base for exploring Gozo's capital (known for a long time as Victoria and now also known by its original name Rabat; I'll use Rabat in this review). LOCATION – Downtown hotel is conveniently close to the centre of Rabat. The Citadel, Rundle Gardens, bus station, several bus stops, the main square (Independence Square, also known as it-Tokk) and lots of shops are within an easy stroll from the hotel albeit with an uphill walk to some of them and even more of an uphill walk to the Citadel. It is so nice to be able to meander around Rabat or the Citadel after dusk (remember that my visit was in January) and have only a short walk back to my hotel rather than have a 20-40 minute walk to a hotel in a nearby town. Staying at Downtown means that I can meander around Gozo without necessarily having to tackle a hill of any sort. ROOM – I had a third floor room at the front of the hotel. Its balcony butted up to a wall which gave me comfortable shade for the important task of drinking tea and coffee. My room had one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The mattress label says that it was a semi-orth mattress made down the road in Xewkija by Carefree Furniture. It had “08-18” written on the label and I wonder if this means it was manufactured in August 2018. On top of the mattress was a memory foam topper made in Spain. My room had a fridge, television with remote control, a kettle, cups, tea, coffee, milk and sugar, free wi-fi and a room safe. My room was cleaned and serviced to a very good standard. I previously stayed in a room at the back of the hotel. Rooms at the front look onto an urban landscape (a sports hall, college and a couple of roads). Rooms at the back have a countryside view and, at night, the distant twinkling nights are probably those on the south coast of Sicily. The rooms on the front of the hotel get more sunlight than the rooms at the back. DINING ROOM – This is on the ground floor at the front of the hotel and has a door opening directly onto the terrace at the front of the hotel. I reckon the dining room can accommodate 100+ people which is good going for a hotel with only 40 rooms. Breakfast offers both hot and cold food. I was happy with the choice of food on offer. I was very happy that I could take my cup of coffee and a croissant onto the terrace and enjoy them slowly while planning my activities for the day. I have to say that my planning often needed several cups of coffee and croissants before it was completed. DOWNTOWN CAFE – This is adjacent to the dining room and was often busy (and was full several times when I called in for a meal). I was on bed & breakfast terms and had several evening meals at the cafe. They were excellent quality and not (even by my standards) expensive. STAFF – All the staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. I was impressed with one of the dining room staff who picked up a crate of crockery and, when the handle had broken and crate and crockery hit the floor, promptly apologised for disturbing our breakfast. ARCHITECTURE – The hotel looks modern. Its ground floor has reception, the dining room, Downtown cafe and a large play area for children (I think there are other play areas at this hotel). a popular cafe and the dining room. Its first floor is offices. Its second and third floors are guest rooms. A couple of rooms on each of these guest floors are internal rooms (so no balcony or window onto the outside world). There is a rooftop pool deck but it hasn't been open during my visits (in January, remember) to the hotel. I nearly forgot the basement. Downtown hotel has a basement in which you will find a 10 pin bowling alley (this may be unique on Gozo) along with a bar, food, a DJ and karaoke aimed to give you an entertaining time.

“Value for money”

The accommodation was very clean and good quality. The value for money was high. The staff were helpful and very pleasant. The overall impression was spoiled by the food in the restaurant, although the menu looked enticing. The issue was that the food was always not hot - the breakfast buffet ha… more

“Recommend for families with children.”

As we had mixed feelings about the place, we thought that we should try it out for ourselves. In fact, we must say that the people are very welcoming, the room with bathroom was spotlessly clean! Breakfast was very good, as after all it is a 3 star hotel. They have a huge play area for young kid… more

“Comfortable and good location in Victoria, Gozo”

Easy walking to the Citadel and the main square, Il Tokk. Comfortable rooms and a great spread for breakfast. There is a little terrace out front for a pre dinner drink. Friendly staff - ALWAYS a smile!
