I've just got back from not staying there. The room they offered me was a single when I ordered a double.
It stank of sewage and the window open into a well. The air con made a very loud clacking noise - I didn't stay.
When I went back the next day they had moved me to a double which was a bit better. But the bathroom still smelt. So I stayed in the Maritim Antonine. Which was very nice and the price at 20L was very nice as well.

We stayed at the Panorama for 1 week and found the hotel quite dated inside but clean and tidy.
The food was of a buffet style with a different main each night and the usual cake and icecream for desert. All the food was of a good standard cooked properly and tasted ok apart from the tinned veg we seemed to have every night!.
The hotels location was the best feature perfect! Great views from the room and the dining room of the whole of the bay excellent!.
The hotel staff on a whole were great, always helpful polite and all spoke perfect english mind you 50% of them were English!.
The hotel laid on entertainment each night, live groups, solo singers and request music players although I don't think young children would find it interesting.
The hotel had a small pool nothing huge but ok for children and a games room in the basement which was not worth a look at all!!.
Would we visit this hotel again, no my answer would have to be but for the small price we payed it was worth it and was a good base to go from each day in our hire car.

We found the staff pleasant and helpful, eg when we lost our key.
The location and views were great, but I was glad we had a hire car to get down to the beach etc.
We were not so impressed with the food and were glad only to have booked B&B: attention to quality would have made such a difference eg fresh juices, appetising and variety of fruit, decent coffee and jams and perhaps some yoghurt. It all seemed very budget.
The cleaning of the bathrooms was not adequate and I am not sure that it was done every day, even though the rooms were.
As a family with 2 teenage kids, we did not find we fitted the age profile (mostly much older than us); luckily we had friends elsewhere on the island to socialise with.

This hotel is certainly not worthy of the 3 star rating- more like minus 3 star.
Poor choice of food, same selection of vegetable 5/7 nights.
Towels changed daily, but bed linen not changed once throughout our stay (2 weeks).
Shower room- full of mildew, and dirty- despite "allegedly" being cleaned daily.
Balcony door broken, does not close properly- no lock.
Totally inadequate seating facilities in bar area and reception- (brochure states "TV lounge") for up to 120 guests.
So-called "games-room" in filthy basement, being used as a storage for broken and ancient furniture.
Holiday Rep witnessed all of the above and was appalled- but situation remained the same 5 days later.
We will never visit this hotel again, and urge others not to also.
Would love to know just how this hotel has a 3 star rating. Whats it being compared to?

This hotel is situated on a ridge with spectacular views of the sea and Mellieha bay. Also wonderful views of Gozo and Comino.
Virtually every room has sea view. You would have to be very unlucky to have a side rrom. Not very many of them. Hotel staff very friendly. Room cleaned every day.
Hotel in good position, only a five minute walk to village through beautiful church courtyard. Although a long walk to beach down steep and winding roads buses are plentiful and cheap. Would definitely visit this hotel again, food was very basic. We only had bed and breakfast and if you like sausages and scrambled egg you were okay for breakfast although a variety of cereal available and toast. Dining room staff could have been a bit more on the ball as there never seemed to be enough cups.

When we arrived we were horrified to find the room was dirty.
The toilet shower and sink had black mildew around them, the pillows were dirty and stained the counterpane was dirty and stained the curtains had stains on them. The door to the balcony would not slide properly the shower cubicle was broken.
The hotel lobby was full of suitcases belonging to guests who were departing that day we were told our room was clean! but the beds were not made. On calling the lift we found that we could not get in as it was filled with dirty laundry and rubbish that had been cleared from the rooms.
In our room the mattresses were stained and ripped, the hotel was partially carpetted and thay were disgusting we felt we could not put our feet down on them.
We asked for a room move and were given one the following day this was more acceptable and we made the most of what was a very bad job.
Other guests who visited the hotel had benn moved to other hotels in the area.

We were pleasantly suprised by the Panorama as were had heard a horror story about it just a few days before our holiday. The views from the hotel were magnificent we could see the whole of Mellieha bay, Comino and Gozo.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We had clean towels daily and beds were changed alternate days. The food was more than adequate with a good selection every day.
The only drawback to this hotel is that it sits on a hillside hence the fantastic views so is not suitable for everyone, however the bus service is regular and there is always car hire for people with walking difficulties.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would not hesitate to stay at the Panorama again

The views from the hotel are what make this place ideal.So calm and peaceful.The staff were very friendly but the hotel rooms could do with an update and the towels though clean every day were quite threadbare.The pool is small and also the sunbathing area but the worst thing was the lack of sunbeds.Out of 20 around the pool at least a quarter were broken and the sunmats on the loungers were tatty and dirty.The breakfasts catered for the British(whether that is good or bad) and were hot,plentiful and tasty. The evening meals gave a choice and tho they were not cordon bleu were sufficient and well cooked.The three nights of entertainment were enjoyable but we were glad they finished at 11.00.There was no need for nightly entertainment as being a small hotel there were people to chat to. My sister and I had a lovely relaxing time and would not hesitate in going back.

This hotel definitely needs updating. On returning home we compared the picture in the brochure and it was obviously taken in the better days! The sheets and towells have seen better days (some i wouldn't have kept as rags), the carpet in our room was disgusting and the toilet broke repeatedly. The music nights were OK but were the same the next week. The breakfasts were fine if you liked egg, sausages and very crispy bacon and didn't mind setting you own table every day (unless you got down early and then you had to wait for the hot stuff to come out from the kitchen). Evening food was rather plain but edible and hot. The location was a bit off the beaten track but as we like walking it didn't bother us too much. The view was superb. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, the waiters/waitresses needed to speed up at breakfast times though. Would not visit this hotel again and would question the 3 stars it displays!
