Travelled with family

We booked a stay at Verdi in a Family Room Sea View (Superior) based on the photographs and description given by the property, but were sorely disappointed on arrival to be given a tired looking, queen/twin room masquerading as a family room. The decor and furnishings were old and the balcony was blatantly made for 2 people. I queried this with the hotel who were adamant this was a "superior" family room and had to involve Expedia. We were then told we could move to another family room after 2 days which was a lot more like the room I expected, but still somewhat tired looking. During the 2 days wait in the first room, we had students from the room above tipping beer and god knows what over their balcony which would make it's way into ours.
We eventually moved to an actual family room. However, we got the feeling that some of the staff were affronted by this and gave us somewhat of a cold shoulder. The cleaning staff were great, very thorough and friendly.
Breakfast was lovely, although one day we were told that we were already in having breakfast, which obviously wasn't the case. They did let us in but again, not without an accusatory look.
The surrounding area was brilliant if you were a student or a couple. The pools were very busy as they are mainly on the site of another sister hotel. Nearby beach was gravel and cigarette butts so not great. But Sliema was easily reached with a 45 minute work.
Would not stay here again. Or recommend to a family.
