Hotel Description:
Offering simple but spacious accommodation, the Dorirose is ideal for a budget-conscious break. Just round the corner from Qawra's lively promenade, its 300 metres from the resort centre and 500 metres from the rocky beach with shops, eateries and a supermarket 100 metres from your door. The complex has its own pool and sun terrace, and guests are welcome to enjoy the bar and entertainment at sister-hotel Canifor nearby. A good base from which to explore the island. loading...

Dorirose Apartments Reviews
There was also a nice sea view from each of the two balconies. Out of season, it would be an ideal base for a cheap break - there are supermarkets, restaurants and pubs on the doorstep but it is relatively quiet (Qawra shuts early) and the bus station is only a few minutes walk away, with connections to all parts of the island. Qawra however was a disappointment - 'heaven's waiting room' comes to mind, but if you are in your fifties it is a chance to feel young again as almost everyone is your senior. Qawra and Bugibba are joined at the hip, the brasher resort is only 10 mins shuffle away - think karaoke bars, bingo, McDs and Watney's Red Barrel.
Also there are no beaches - swimming is from the rocks. (On a positive note, the corner kebab shop on Tourist Street opposite the bus station served seriously good chicken and lamb kebabs - well worth a visit.) If you're looking for decent restaurants and clubs, St Julian's is maybe 20 mins away and plays Ibiza to Bugibba's Benidorm and Qawra's Menorca and given the choice would probably be a better place to stay.
That said, the Dorirose offers good value for money if as likely you haven't paid that much, and with an easily available cheap hire car or even on the frequent buses the remoteness needn't be a problem - no trip on Malta can be more than 20 miles!
