Apartment Hotels in St. Pauls Bay

On behalf of The Gang Malta Social Group, I would like to recommend a day by the pool at Sana Lounge…relaxing, nice atmosphere and the food was great. Absolutely worth it! Our members enjoyed themselves so much. Thank you.

Frindly Hotel is taking time to turn it around but very truthful and will do all there can rectify any complant

The location is decent! 5 mins walk from the bus stop at the main road. 10 mins away by walk to the beach side. I could store my luggage in a storage room before the check-in hour, which was nice! They have a nice pool which is, in my opinion, the strongest asset! They also have a restaurant and a bar, that it's not only for the hotel, where the prices were okay and the girls working at the bar were...

I stayed here as part of a package with love holidays... No issues with the hotel at all. Reception staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean, also the bathroom was clean. Housekeeping staff both in public areas, and on the 2 occasions I met room service maid were all polite and a credit to the business. As the hotel restaurant was closed the adjacent Molly Malone bar next door...

Came with family for weekend. Excellent service, staff on level of 5 star hotel. Breakfast was yummy

I spent a little over a week at this hotel with friends and it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. The general manager was very sure to make sure our stay was good and all needs were met. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were big and clean and stayed that way for the entire time. Highly recommend to anyone staying in St Paul's. it is an easy walk to enjoy everything in the...

Rooms are spacious and comfortable with simple amenities such as a small TV, fridge and kettle. The indoor pool is very nice with a jacuzzi and also a sauna. The bar staff are very friendly and the local beer is decent. I also enjoyed the food at the buffet restaurant which had a calm and relaxing atmosphere and good food, different each day. The location is central and we didn't get the best balcony...

Our room was very basic and small. 2 single beds just pushed together to make a double. You can hear the slightest noise from each of the rooms whether it be above, below or either side of the room. Staff was friendly and pleasant

We were very impressed with this hotel, We wasn't expecting too much as the photos and YouTube clips we'd seen didn't really sell the place. When we got there we were very pleasantly surprised, it was clean and a very friendly atmosphere. The rooms are quite large and functional. I would definitely stop there again.

I recently stayed at The Canifor Hotel , a delightful four-star hotel. The staff was welcoming, and my room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a stunning city view. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the rooftop terrace offered breathtaking panoramas. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend for a comfortable stay!

I had a great stay at the Canifor Hotel in Malta. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the pool area was perfect for relaxing. The location is convenient, close to the coast and local shops. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for a pleasant getaway!

The Canifor Hotel is a great retreat for those seeking relaxation and comfort. Located in a prime geographical position, it’s perfect for exploring the wonders of Malta. The hotel features an impressive 8 pools, all beautiful, spacious, and well-maintained, making them ideal for refreshing swims and sunbathing. Additionally, the jacuzzi offers a luxurious spot to unwind and relax. The sauna, cozy and...

The room and the bathroom wasn’t dirty but the whole apartment was very tired and in need of modernisation. To say it was basic is being generous. The actual bed linen was clean. Fortunately we were only there one night. The man on reception at the night time when we arrived was not at all welcoming.. The tiles in the bathroom had been patched and there had obviously had been a issue with damp that...

I was here for one week on the presidential penthouse and the view was probably the best on the area. Was just a chaim the internet never work and the balcony sliding doors after been lock can be open from outside. The staff wasn't helpful wen I need step down weed my logage and they charge for everything thei do.

Had the pleasure of spending the day there today with my family and friends. Place is welcoming and extremely clean . The staff are polite and bar food was great . Thumbs up to all

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The gentleman that was doing our housekeeping was very polite. Our room had everything we needed. It was clean, had a big bathroom, and an equipped kitchen (bring dish soap and a sponge to do dishes though). There is wifi only in the reception area. Buggiba Bay bus station is a 10 minute walk from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay!

The accommodation was ok. Kitchen and bedroom in order. The sofa bed was broken. bathroom has seen the best of days years ago. No pressure when running the shower or a bath etc. Was told the place will close soon for about 3 months for refurbishment.

It was okay, clean room, friendly service, good base for trips. The sea view was amazing as others options will be with quite noisy street. Service is really supported. My AC was broken and they fixed it just immediately. For bad things, poor equipment in the kitchen. My toaster was broken. A few pots but without frying pan. In the area there are only a couple of parking spots.

Good clean hotel, very large rooms. We've had a 2 bed apartment that is significant in size. Staff lovely and helpful but not overbearing. Very acceptable as a self contained apartment. There is a restaurant next door and many other eating places easily within walking distance. The hotel is also only a 5 minute walk from Iceland and many other grocery stores to pick up water, beer, food etc. The pools...

We're a family of 5 and got back last week and stayed 11 days at the Sunny Coast Resort. We stayed in the apartment with what they call a partial sea view. It was a generous upgrade that we were not expecting. It's a maybe a side view of the sea, but a brilliant view none the less. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the sofabed is also good and even pulled out the living area had plenty...

The reception staff were extremely friendly and responded quickly to any request or inquiry. The resort has two swimming pool outdoor and indoor allowing you to enjoy swimming especially the indoor swimming pool was very nice as a Muslim woman the indoor swimming pool was very comfortable for me. The hotel was always clean, whether it was the room, the elevators, or other areas. What I really appreciated...

It's OK, it's been updated since the last visit 9 years ago, but it's still tired in places. Our room had aircon, lovely hot water and clean sheets. The furniture and decor was dated, but that's not what's important. Room service was every three days, so reasonable. Location is fine for several bars and restaurants, but I wouldn't suggest using local supermarkets due to excessive pricing (irrelevant...

A Place to Return in Malta PROS: - The room was perfect with a wonderful sea view and private balcony. - The apartment boasts a fully-equipped kitchen where you can whip up delicious meals while enjoying the stunning sea views. - Take a refreshing dip in the light warm indoor pool or the outdoor pool nestled amidst a lush sea scenario, perfect for enjoying the mild May sunshine of 21 degrees Celsius...

We stayed here 10 days. We only use hotel as a base. We never spend time at hotel so it was good for us. Maid came on day 2 ... we didn't really need her then as not long arrived.. and we never saw her again. On day 8 towels were becoming a bit smelly so we asked at reception for some fresh towels which we got. Bathroom .. shower was very powerful and plenty of hot water... grout and mastic were...

We were here with my fiancee 4 times. Very good kitchen, nice atmosphere, live music and almost every day there was an offer of 3,4 courses like Malta night, all you can eat night and etc. Good prices and service.

Honestly. Are any of the apartments there clean? I have visited a few and they all look like some kind of hippy colony. This place could be a real gem if it was taken care of!! What a shame.

Lovely quite place. Full of awesome views of countryside and sea views as well. Great area for walks, picnics and much more.

Very calm village with an amazing view, just 15min walking downhill to closest beach and has holiday houses for rent with access to a swimming pool!

Automatic check-in worked fine. Room was well equipped for self catering if you wanted. Met the friendly owners next morning who gave us lots of advice/ideas on what to do in Malta. Let us leave our luggage on the last day as they could not let us extend our room stay as they were fully booked. Organised taxi to airport at reasonable rate.

Me and my family had a wonderful time in For Rest Aparthotel!! I highly recommend this place while You are visiting Malta! Everything was perfect- clean room, nice and friendly owners, this Is really good place for holidays :)) Hotel is located in a great place- everything is near- the sea, shops, restaurants and city centre. Honestly- that's a great hotel to stay in :)

We stayed here 5 - 12 october 2022. I do have to thank Alexei and Mireille because they have been fantastic: extremely kind, welcoming, helpful and generous in every situation (car, small needs, check-out, parking, indications,etc…). The place is very quiet and descreet and they are always available at anytime for everything. No room to be disappointed. Gianluca and Stasha.

The apartament was clean and modern, with all necessary facilities such as fridge, oven, electric stove, electric kettle, TV, a ceiling fan. The room also had AC, but with additional charge. The staff was really friendly and helpful, the whole stay was extremely pleasant. The location was nice, close to many stores and mini markets, a promenade and small beaches. I highly recommend this accommodation...

My opinion after a week: + super friendly and nice owners, + good price/quality ratio, + good location - considering center, + apartment on 4th level - no noise from Serbian restaurant + never had problems with noise through the walls + very good food in Serbian restaurant on the ground floor, we ate there 4 times, always nice + there is a special price for guest of the hotel (really good price), ...

Air condition avaliable only for extra charge 10 euro. Kitchen poorly equipped (no solt, sugar). No soap in kitchen and bathroom. Many water on flour after shower. Good:wi-fi avaliable in the rooms.

We have just come back from Luna in Malta. Even though it was middle of November we had 23-24 degree weather. The hotel was lovely and clean, the receptionists are so very lovely and helpful. Don Tonino bar in the hotel was excellent, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We were on a B and B basis and there was plenty of choice. The upstairs pool was closed as it...

Great place to stay, very welcoming, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed in our room and will definitely consider staying here again. This was our first visit to Malta and we’ve had a lovely time

Loved staying at the Luna hotel - we had a view of the sea from our balcony 😌 There’s an indoor heated family swimming pool but also a rooftop swimming pool with a bar/food for adults only which was great for us! Staff were lovely - note that there was a £50 deposit on arrival that you get back at the end but that’s quite standard. The view from the roof top bar was stunning and the food/drink was...

Had a wonderful 4 days staying at Luna. Lovely complex. We stayed in one of the self catering apartments with a view of Mellieha and the lovely church. Room was lovely and clean and was perfect for us. Music in the lounge area on one of the nights we were there. Even did a bit of karaoke. Which was fun. I would definitely recommend staying here.

My hubby and I recently stayed here for 2 weeks in September, self catering. Our room was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Both pools were clean although I would've preferred a rail to get into the sky pool. The location was great for us (pretty quiet), with a lovely view of the church at the top of the hill. You could get a weekly bus ticket...

Stayed August for 10 days.. upgraded to executive studio. Stunning rooms , cleaned everyday, bed linen and towels changed everyday. This was our first time to Malta. 100% return to Luna complex, lovely staff, spotless clean. 10 days was not enough to explore all the island.

Rooms are tired and in need of an upgrade. This was more than made up for by the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the buffet food. A good tip is to download the Bolt taxi and the public Transport apps.

A good hotel in a good location only a 8 minute walk to Buggiba bay square. The room are ok with good air conditioning and a small fridge. The food is good and they do a half board plus which includes drinks with the evening meal. The only downside is the lifts, they are slow and often are not working. During my last stay only 2 out of the 3 were working and the staff often were using one. I would...

Absolutely fantastic experience here - super friendly staff, great cleaning everyday making the bed. Outside pool is lovely + lots of food and drink, great location. Had a great experience overall.

If you’re looking for a perfect blend of great location, exceptional comfort, and outstanding hospitality on Malta, Topaz Hotel is the ideal choice. Situated in an excellent location with easy access to a 24/7 supermarket and bus stops, this hotel makes exploring the island a breeze. The hotel impresses with its size and beautifully maintained facilities. Our room was particularly remarkable: the...

Great value for money, very friendly staff. Very clean throughout. The pool area was lovely. Breakfast and dinner were very satisfying. Will definitely come back, could not reccomend enough.

Good for self sufficient guests. Really friendly staff. More of an elderly persons hotel. 5min walk to the bay and town centre. A few restaurants around about it. And bus stops near by. Plus hop on hop off bus stops at the hotel. Breakfasts weren't great but the pizzeria downstairs was really good and had a cheap meal deal.

Breakfast was tasty and fresh, with good choice of different food Room was big and clean, beds were comfy, wifi worked perfect Hotel was clean Staff were kind and helpful

Lovely hotel, very reasonable and brilliant staff. Room cleaned every day and the indoor pool is brilliant. I had a fab massage on my last day . Food not much to my liking as a vegan but maybe I could have asked. As such an excellent position this hardly mattered as don't really do breakfast much anyway. So close to the bus station and other amenities. I hired a car as well and parked every day just...

Friendly and helpful staff at the hotel. Decent dining area, which serviced a good breakfast. My room on the 6th floor certainly didn't look like the pictures i had seen online, it was old, it was tired, dated, and not particularly clean. The room two doors down at the end of the corridor had a major leak coming down from the ceiling and the corridor and my room smelt of damp because of this.

We've just had a stay at hotel Santana & had a lovely time. We travelled as a family of Four & stayed in a family room. (2 adults & 2 teenage girls) I was dubious about our stay before we came as has very mixed reviews but I'm very glad we chose this hotel as a quick getaway. The staff are a real credit to this hotel , the hotel is a big one so I've encountered a lot of staff members during my stay...

Stayed last week for 7 nights was a great location. We used indoor pool was very good . Breakfast was a good choice. Staff were friendly. Room was ok but bathroom door handle falling off and toilet roll holder falling off the hairdryer was falling apart . But was only minor things

From the moment we entered the hotel we felt very welcome. a mistake was made with our room booking and the lady on reception front house went above and beyond to sort it out for us within an hour. The staff are friendly, polite, respectful and welcoming. We really enjoyed our time at the hotel

Hotel is located in quiet area, very nice and comfortable rooms. Inside pool and roof top. One thing which I didn't like was very repetitive breakfast options. We were there for 3 days I can't imagine to eat the same things in longest period of time. But apart from that everything was great.

The place is very nice. The brunch had very good and plenty of food. On the advertisement they say that parking is available but the garage is closed and there are no instructions of how to enter. Parking on the street is impossible. We had to park about four blocks away.

Nice budget hotel. Staff really nice and helpful. Only ate breakfast. Fair choice but same every day. Rooms clean, well ours was! 3 pools, gym. Area quiet and residential with not many bars or restaurants nearby. Very expensive to upgrade. Sometimes late checkout not available.

Had lunch in the cafe as they have an indoor childrens play area. Menu has the usual fares one would expect a cafe to have. Burgers ordered had their patties as thin as the McDonalds patties, but they were good. Tiramisu ordered for dessert was very dry and not enjoyable. Kids play area was not the cleanest and, compared to other play areas, felt a bit run down. The kids obviously enjoyed it and it...

So....food, excellent. Rooms 9/10, staff know what they're doing, management 100% friendly, cleanliness at it's best. Is there a negative expect? In my honest opinion, NO! Keep up the stirling work :)

Great break away in Soreda alot of bad reviews about it so we were concerned at first. We stayed b&b for 10 days. I really cannot fault them breakfast was good good choice buffet style meal. Hotel was emaculat rooms were cleaned everyday to high standard towels replaced as needed. Only changes I would make is for us to visit earlier next time July is to hot for us.

The whole building is a bit run down. If they would renovate it, everything would be perfect. Also the fire alarm kept going off in the middle of the night, the staff wasn’t even surprised. The food was alright, it could use some variability tho The location turned out to be great, but my first impression wasn’t that good

the person in charge of the indoor pool and the food was unacceptable and rude. He turned off our lights while we were changing to leave the pool area. The rooms smelled bad.

It's a good base for all the amenities including the bus station, Aquarium, Car Museum. There are also plenty of shortcuts to save time. Vastly improved from when I was at the hotel before. Plenty of choice.

For me being disabled the hotel was just in the right place, close to shops, chemist, and bar's. The hotel in it's self was spotless, and the gentleman who did my room was excellent. Lovely welcome, hotel reception staff excellent.

Lovely hotel and excellent service. Food was tasty , especially the breakfast buffet. Lavish and Marina at the reception were very accommodating and provided great guidance to get around Malta. Definitely worth coming back and would recommend.

Really amazing and great experience- rooms are really clean and washed daily, including towels and bed sheets. The breakfast food was amazing and fresh - really took care of me and my mates at the Hotels. The indoor pool was also amazing and jacuzzi and it was peaceful. Lastly the staff are the best people- always ready and happy to help with a humble and positive attitude. Overall if you are considering...

Just got back from 1 week staying at Pebbles and loved it. The hotel is modern and spotlessly clean and the service from staff could not be better. Every team member was friendly, said hello with a smile and helped us if we had any questions. We were impressed with the size of our room and large bath, which were also very modern and clean. The water was always hot and the air con was very welcome and...

We recently stayed at the Pebbles Resort in St. Paul’s Bay, Malta, and despite the weather not being the greatest during our visit, we had an amazing time. The hotel was fantastic—clean, modern, and very welcoming. We stayed on a half-board basis, and both breakfast and dinner were buffet-style with a delicious and varied selection of dishes that catered to all tastes. The Anchor Pub and the Lobby...

We’ve just come back from a weeks stay at the Pebbles Resort. The staff are very helpful - a young man on reception came to let us know our rooms were ready as we had a soft drink. We were about two hours early. The beds were very comfortable - good quality!! The flooring is in need of replacing on the 1st floor especially between corridor and door of room 155. One of our group caught her sandal. We...

I love this hotel; it is an exceptional destination that captivates both leisure travelers and those visiting for business purposes. Without a doubt, I have visited many hotels during my travels around the world, and Pebbles Resort certainly deserves to be highlighted for its impeccable attention to detail in every aspect of the guest experience. From the moment you set foot in this charming resort...

The food was simply amazing! The stuff of the hotel was always helpful and nice. All in all great place to stay!

The hotel is located in a nice area close to the harbour and walking distance to some nice walking area and restaurants. The cleanness of hotel can be better. The breakfast was a appointment. Not tasty not much options. But the view from the rooms was nice. Also if you come from airport is more convenient to get a uber or taxi, using public transport needs a change and there was a bad traffic.

On a ten day holiday in May, we settled into our hotel. A stunning entrance with attentive staff all around you. You have a little coffee shop where you can purchase limited warm food as well as a very nice slice of carrot cake. Coffee is superb. Breakfast is in the restaurant, which is set slightly apart to eliminate evening noise. Two lifts are available to transport you to your floor, or if you...

We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday. The hotel is very well located with excellent views. The pool is very good and it is usually not too busy. Swimming in the sea is possible right next to the hotel.

This was an amazing experience at Gillieru Harbour Hotel! I would highly recommend, the rooms are clean, staff is so attentive, professional and polite. Hotel lobby and amenities are really great, love the pool, the ocean (cement) beach is also such an experience with crystal clear water! The views are breathtaking and included breakfast is really convenient!

Lovely hotel... staff were very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast offered a reasonable choice although hot food could have done with being a bit hotter. If you have a hire car there is plenty of on street parking within a couple of minutes walk from hotel - occasionally a space directly out front. Pool area was kept clean and tidy and there were plenty of sunbeds available. There was a deal of...

We really enjoyed our stay here. Definitely one of the best located hotels you can get. Absolutely worth it to book a room with sea view. It is very tranquil in the mornings. The restaurant that belongs to the hotel is very nice as well and offers decent breakfast in the mornings. You can also have good pizza in the Cafe on the ground floor and lovely cocktails in the restaurant in the evenings! We...

very good location. very clean, with a nice polite a high professional stuff. breakfast are fantastic (exept juice at breakfast). clean and nice pool. wifi is fast but nerlar pool signal is time to time.

Location: 5 | Services: 5 We stayed here for a few days, central and very easy to access. The hotel have a small reception but the staffs made check in very efficient. Rooms are medium and have a great view only a few minutes walking distance from supermarkets, pubs and the beach.

I am delighted to share my impressions from my stay at the Il Palazzin hotel. The rooms were incredibly spacious, clean, and comfortable, making me feel right at home from the start. Additionally, the bathroom was equally clean and convenient, and the beds provided excellent sleep after a day full of adventures. An exceptional amenity was finding a coffee and tea making set in the room, which further...

Nice mid size hotel, which in keeping up with the modernization, with newly renovated lobby and restaurant, very good location and most important, very helpful and professional staff, always willing to help out or share some information in order to make stay better. Breakfast was good with various options and for dinner there was also very good buffet option with many local and Mediterranean courses

The hotel is in a quiet area, 7 minutes from the bus terminal. Breakfast is served from 7 up to 9:30 but they continue to fill even on 10:00! Good for us who usually oversleep 😁 The rooms are clean but the bathroom needs renovation. The woman in the reception does not speak good English

I'm sorry but we won't be going again after going many years. Previously, we stayed at the The Ramla Bay Hotel (as its where we got married from) and the value for money was first class. There was building works going on (which reflected in the price). The evening buffet was 28 Euros which was Spectacular and good value, offering amazing food for Vegetarians (like me) with meat and fish. Your buffet...

Great staff, very good hotel. An exceptional Manager who takes care of every detail. The restaurant serves very good and plentiful meals. I recommend it to everyone who wants to spend a nice time in Malta. Thank you and we wish you further success.

The staff was really kind and helpful. We also enjoyed a lot our room because it was perfectly clean and comfortable. The location was perfect because it was two minutes away from a bus station (Bugibba Bay) and you had supermarkets and restaurants neat the hotel. We found the price even cheap if you take into consideration all the facilities that they offer.

Lovely place, staff were excellent. Great recommendations and advise. Great location. Air conditioners in both bedrooms and main rooms. Great kitchen including utensils etc Great roof top pool with view. Close to the sea and restaurants and shops. Would definitely go back.

From the start of my booking with the Park Lane, the service has been amazing. My trip from London was an emergency visit to my mother in hospital and each member of staff and the owner were all very kind in asking how my mother was and also if I was feeling OK too. The rating for this property is very well deserved and the owner and staff made the stay all that more comfortable considering the circumstances...

Amazing!! Cannot believe how cheap we paid for such a great place!! The room was perfect for a couple featuring a nice kitchen and living room, all recently renovated. Super friendly staff and everything always spotlessly clean. Wonderful view too and perfect location right by the bus terminal with easy transport to anywhere in the island. Can't wait to go back!

Really nice hotel. Clean and recently renovated. Staff is super friendly and it’s in a very convenient location (near buses and restaurants)

Thus hotel is really nice. The food for breakfast is amazing. Make sure you try the giant chocolate croissants for breakfast. The rooms are brilliant. Ours had a balcony, a kitchen, eating room, bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen has a fridge, cooker and cupboards as well as utensils. The staff are so friendly, please try this place... You will love your stay.

For the price an excellent hotel. A Chinese restaurant and three nice bars opposite the hotel. So yes you will get a constant hum of voices if your room is at the front. Did not bother me at all. On the top floor of the hotel is an sunbathing area and a small pool with lovely views out to sea. Cleaning staff looked after my room very well. All staff were nice and pleasant. Only a short walk to all...

Great place to stay for holiday welcoming people close to bugibba Square & the sea 🌊 🌴☀️😎

Was great for the hot summer back in August 2017. The owner gave us a mini fridge to use and it was just a great place to stay for the night, whether it be a single day or 2 weeks as we did. Pool at the top was amazing. even had a vending machine and public library which I kindly gave a book to. Not the greatest as it was very basic but honestly it was very good as Malta isn't a place you stay indoors...

The rooms are really decent for the price, bathroom looks recently renovated, lovely and clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful - smiling and ready to help. Can you believe it was the CHEAPEST accommodation we could find in the St. Paul's Bay? Wish all our cheap stays were like that.

Close to shops and amenities. Short walk to lovely restaurants, shops, bars, the square and Buddies dive cove which is excellent for a day out scuba diving. Comfy beds and rooms cleaned each day. Shower room was nice with a powerful hot shower. Hired a small fridge for €2 a day. Room cleaned and beds made each day. Spotless bathroom. Polite and friendly staff.

Dora at reception was g8 very helpful rooms clean an fresh luvly food very friendly infact am going back on 19th of September 2020

Ok place. Decent standard for decent price. Seems really old fashioned and there is a problem with parking spots.

Good Location, near the Bus Station. Food is OK. Rooms OK, but mattress are the worst, which I ever had in a Hotel.

We absolutely recommend this place if you’re coming to Malta, it’s probably the best hosts you’ll find! The food was great and the host even made a dish for us that we couldn’t find anywhere else! We will probably be back one day.

Everything went well, it was definitely great value for a price. The hosts were incredibly accommodating. The space was cozy and well-maintained, and the location is one of the best. Highly recommend! Very nice apartment, clean and most important, it was very close to bus stop and to the supermarket.

2 bedroom apartments are very spacious, with 2 balconies, good kitchen. Apartments are very clean, every Monday girls come for the cleaning and change of towels and bed linen. We have asked for more towels and bed linen so we could have clean towels every day. There are some small shops near where you can buy water, coffee, ... The nerest supermarket "Iceland" 10 min walking and "Trollees" 15 min...
