4 Star Malta Holidays

Rosario Terranova

The Best Hotel in Malta! We had an exceptional stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean—truly fantastic accommodations. One of the best conveniences was the nearby bus stop, which made getting around the island a breeze. Whether you’re heading to a tourist spot or just exploring, transportation is very easy. The hotel offers fantastic amenities, including both indoor and outdoor pools and a relaxing spa, all of which you can access at your convenience. The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes that truly enhanced our stay. As a lovely personal touch, my wife celebrated her birthday during our vacation, and the thoughtful staff surprised us with a complimentary cake delivered to our room. We really appreciated this special gesture—it made our trip even more memorable! I will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended

We had an absolutely amazing holiday less than 2 weeks ago, the only disappointment is that we wish we could have booked it for a bit longer! All of our needs were superbly accommodated, we never had to ask for anything in advance. Really appreciated the check in phone call from the hotel manager after we arrived to our room, of which we had a free upgrade for. Everyone we came across to was very nice and calm, can't remember all the names but the housekeeping team and the lovely guy in reception looking after the luggages were top! Also Martin, the Guest Relation Manager, is very friendly and kind. We will definitely be back as we had a memorable holiday, see you very soon 😊

We had very pleasant experience at this hotel. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Clean and spacious air conditioned rooms, although the bed mattresses are to soft for my liking. Great choice of tasty food. Very easy access to water activities and close to ferry terminal. Hotel has access to safe car park. Did not use the spa except for the sauna and steam room which was good but basic. Overall would recommend it and would visit again.

Hotel was lovely. Pool table which was reasonable, public car park at the back, great price for cocktails, good entertainment but I feel more kids entertainment would be beneficial. Rooms were clean and modern. Mini fridge wasn't great but could keep a couple of drinks cool. One of my favourite things was the free water fountains. The massive choice at breakfast time, my only negative was stale cereal. Staff helpful and happy 😁. Would recommend to others.

Hotel has amazing views across the bay especially at sunset. Lots to do watersport wise otherwise quiet which is lovely. No noisy nightlife.! Staff will do anything they can to assist you. They are happy and friendly which makes for a great vibe in the hotel. Even basic rooms are a good size and are always kept clean. Beds made etc. All the areas of the hotel are great to hang out in. Pool is nice. Lots of shade. Loads of sunbeds. Enough for everyone. Food is superb with a change of theme every night with plenty to choose from. Great cocktails and fabulous ice coffees!!We would def recommend as we would like to return here

After staying at this hotel last year, I was really looking forward to another visit. Reception and customer services – we arrive at about 02:30am and checked in easily but little information was provided, we were offered basic sandwiches too but they didn’t look very appetising. Customer services were the most helpful at times when issues arose and they didn’t seem too interested in finding resolutions either. Room, #798 was large, and had a partial sea view balcony (side street), room housekeeping was hit and miss with towels not always changed and pillowcases were missing a couple of times. Lifts, at various times at least one was out of service and lift no. 3 overloaded with more than two persons! Pool areas and bars – probably the biggest disappointment, despite the advertised times the rooftop bar closed early several times with no notice or warning – one the lights were switched off whilst a group of us were still present. Main pool bar also closes early not that they have a swanky new theatre but this means that the entire hotel uses on small bar – big queues and the sports bar was also never open but this was as friendly as a hospital waiting room anyway! Pool towels were available on payment of a €10 deposit, towels changeable at the bars and sauna but these were shabby and thin, at checkout e returned our two cards they said we only paid for one but relented and repaid the €20! Main restaurant – OK on the whole and a reasonable choice available to suit most tastes. Wine and beer on tap, fruit juices and coffee via machines. Deserts were rather disappointing but on our first night they had some stunning blue cheese! All in all, this could be a great hotel (not sure the claimed four stars are accurate) l but it is obviously run on a budget with management taking absolutely no notice of any feedback looking through this site.

Don't bother coming here in November. At the rooftop pool the bar is closed "due to it being winter" and there's nowhere to buy drinks or snacks except vending machines. If you can't cater for people in November then don't take their money and bring them here! Room is nice, view is lovely. But the service experience really dampens the holiday.

We stayed here for a week, got a junior suite with terrace and it was an amazing room and view. The terrace is lovely with sunbeds on, the hotel is clean and lovely and the all inclusive is great, the meals are really good. Had no issues at the hotel whilst we were there. Good location too, very happy.

We stayed here for 5 nights and at best had a mediocre stay. There were some real highlights, the variety of restaurants was fantastic and the restaurant staff were very kind. However, some inexcusable incidents. The most disappointing and frankly dangerous, being that my friends and I got trapped in a lift on the 12th floor, this was absolutely terrifying. The lift was moving repeatedly up and down between floors with the doors not opening. No one answered the loud alarm which we rang multiple times and no one picked up the emergency line we were calling. The lift managed to fix itself, no thanks to the absolutely useless reception staff. We no longer felt safe in the lifts for the rest of our stay (this happened night 2) so didn't get to enjoy the roof top pool/bar. We went to reception to notify them of what happened and the staff were rude and dismissive. I highlighted this was a huge safety incident and I was completely brushed off which unfortunately came to be a common occurrence. The second issue was the reps. They were fun however very insistent and wouldn't let you relax by the pool in peace, they were always pestering you to join in even when you said no. Our room was a good size for 4 of us and exactly as described however often our towels weren't changed and we weren't given a hairdryer. We had to ask 3 times for a hairdryer and when someone eventually came to the room to give us one he wouldn't let us have it until we showed him every draw (where the hairdryer should have been) was empty. This was unnecessary, uncomfortable and invasive given we are 4 young women. We also were woken at 8am with someone dropping off towels that we'd asked for multiple days prior. Communication between reception and maintenance/housekeeping was evidently very poor. The variety of restaurants was fabulous however the way this works on all inclusive should have been better explained by reception. You get to visit each restaurant once, we tried Luma and the new Asian restaurant which were both lovely and the staff at both were fantastic. However it would have been nice to know prior to dinner what was/wasn't included with our all inclusive but I can't fault the restaurants themselves! Unfortunately we had multiple rude interactions with the hotel reception staff including when I handed my towels card back in for a €10 refund. I paid in card and expected this to be returned in card. Instead I was given cash which would have been nice to know in advance as I returned my card at the end of my holiday and don't use euros back home. I asked if I could get a card refund and the receptionist was rude and dismissive, often answering me back in sarcastic comments. The final let down was check out. We'd charged some extra drinks to our room and when I asked for a copy of the bill before I pay we waited over 20minutes (missing our bus) to then not be given a copy of the receipt. In the end we agreed to pay but again this highlighted the poor communication between the reception and other areas of the hotel. Photo pictured shows the downstairs pool and how close the hotel was to the sea which was ideal for a dip. Overall the stay was average, it was a good location near lots of buses and bolts around the island are cheap. However, I will never be staying again.

Everything about this hotel is amazing and the staff are very helpful and informative. I will include pictures from the hotel room. Anything you need to find out they will know. The hotel has 3 restaurants and a buffet restaurant. They have a rooftop pool as well as one by the sea on the ground floor. The rooftop pool is adults only which is nice. The animation team did a great job with the evening shows. The hall they have for it is stunning. I could carry on and on about the Qawra Palace resort and spa

Fabulous hotel ! My friend and I stayed last year. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed and showed a room where we could leave our luggage and go for something to eat in one of the many restaurants. There was always a large selection of food and plenty of drinks. During your stay you can book a meal in one of the themed restaurants. We chose Mexican and there was a large selection of food which was very tasty, plenty to drink too, for my friend, I’m not much of a drinker. Our room was lovely and clean. The beach is across the road from the hotel. Regular buses across the road and the indoor pool is an added bonus. It’s lovely and clean with a jacuzzi. All staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant manager always greeted us with a smile and the lady in the shop told us about the travel card you can use on the buses and where to go. The animation team put on a great show every night. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your lovely hotel.

Absolutely chock full of activities suitable for all. Adult facilities separate to kids facilities so everyone can relax. The six restaurants-delicious. Wished I could go back to some more than once. Prices were reasonable and the all inclusive is worth it. The bathroom was cramped though and the ventilator went bad at a point which was not great but it got fixed. The rooms were spacious and I had a view of the sea from my room. The additional activities available made it a really good resort to stay in.

Andy Mac

Had a family holiday with my wife and teenage son. Entertainment for all ages in the day and was was fantastic around the biggest pool in Malta. Entertainment every night was really impressive on the main stage. Sports bar with pool and 10 pin bowling was a big hit with the teenager. It is located in a quiet location with a nice beach across the road. The public transport link to Valletta, the capital, was easy and cheap to use, picking up right outside the hotel. Will go again.

Birgit Reul

The hotel team was accommodating. Especially the room service was very friendly and clean! Thanks to Sunny for the great service! Sunny was also very friendly to our boys, which is not a matter of course. The service at the pool bar is fast and friendly. Also the bartender at the Sports Bar is very accommodating and we had nice evenings there.

A Ritchie

Absolutely amazing holiday enhanced by the excellent hotel. The food in the hotel’s restaurants was excellent including in the Coral buffet. I’d recommend the all inclusive plus package, particularly for access the plus lounge; the staff in there were outstanding - attentive service without being intrusive. Our room was large and it was kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. Our requests to the front desk for additional services were met completely and very promptly. Less then 5 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes by bus to the ferry to Gozo and about an hour by bus to Valletta, it is well positioned for sightseeing. Plenty of space and sun loungers around the pools throughout the day. I would very highly recommend this hotel.

Chris Welburn

I don't know how this hotel can call itself 4 star so I'd ignore that for a start. I know you get what you pay for and this is on the lower price scale but I still expect better quality than this, I'm sure similar priced hotels in the area are better value. The hotel looks to have been in decline for the last 20 years with no attention given to its upkeep, pretty much everything you look at looks run down. In our room alone, the shower head holder was falling out of the wall, no bath plug, grubby stained bath, bathrobe hooks on the back of the bathroom door loose, writing on the wall in main room area, sticker stains on balcony sliding doors, balcony sliding door could barely be opened by my wife, curtains hanging off broken rails, no TV remote (you have to pay a deposit for one!!) never seen that before....I didn't bother as the screen on the wall was smaller than my laptop screen... What's the point. So much more to mention throughout the hotel but I won't. The breakfast was the same every morning but adequate I suppose...which is a plus. The staff at reception were helpful without a welcoming smile. The bed was ok, and as we were out most of the time as planned it did a job but I would not recommend it. I really don't want to lay into them but it was poor, it had nothing good going for it. Sorry.

Darren Clarke

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.

Paolo Formica

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!

Gabri Cimino

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 clean, provides a moment of pure wellness after a day of adventures. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation!

Douglas Miller

Staying here at the moment first two days toilet flush was that bad wouldn't get rid of waste. reported twice still no better shower wasn't working fixed after reported. towels had dirty marks over them went to house keeping handed them back given evan dirtier towels. had to change 3 times would only leave 1 hand towel for 2 people. kitchen staff and bar staff very pleasant lounge and dining are OK pool area OK rooms very dated furniture in poor condition food basic but nice building going on next door

Ives Laaf

Wonderful location at the sea/harbor with pool and own swimming location in front of the hotel. Was not to noisy. Of course you hear some music and traffic from the coastal road. Rooms and hotel is a little aged but okay. AC on level seven had to work hard against sun from rooftop and windows but great views!

Kait Smith

Didnt really know how to score this stay. First the positives. Hotel in a great location. Room a decent size, very clean. Pool area nice and plenty of sunbeds even though hotel was full. Being able to get straight into the sea was great. Decent breakfast. Bar reasonably priced. Plenty of options for food and drink nearby. Now the bad. When we arrived we were told there were none of the room type we had booked available (deluxe double) so we were "upgraded" to room 442 which was a larger room with a terrace rather than a small balcony. It was a corner room so had better views and windows on two sides. The air-conditioning in the hotel does not work very well. The room was boiling hot all the time. We asked at reception if someone could come and take a look and they said it was working, and that it was just hot in the room because it was hot outside. And being on the corner it heated up more. We went back to the room but it was impossible to spend any time in it. We asked for fans and they didn't have any (it seems there were a number of rooms with the problem). The staff seemed to know there was an issue with the room and we suspect people before us had complained and been moved and that's why our room we booked was not available and we have been "upgraded". We had a really bad night sleep, my friend slept on the balcony and so in the morning we asked again to be moved. At first they tried to fob us off again but eventually a manager came and arranged for us to move to the room type we had originally booked. It was significantly cooler - though still not cold. The first night really affected our whole stay as we were tired, hot and grumpy. The hotel really needs to invest in the air-conditioning system if they are going to give guests a pleasant stay.

Karina K

Good location to get around the city with lots of restaurants around. Clean room with marina view and not loud at night. Hard to find room near the pool/sea area. Staff could improve on English, breakfast was repetitive, I would suggest a replacement of the lift as it was very hot and takes about a minute before the doors opened.

Keith Egdell

Read the reviews which were a bit off putting but went for it anyway, the lifts seem to be what most people complained about but we had no issues at all ! The breakfast was better than the excelsior which we had just moved from and was a lot more expensive & you can have your breakfast outside around the pool looking over Spinola bay. Definitely recommend

Jostein Bø

The room is clean and with a great view. The breakfast is very good with friendly chefs making any eggs you want. You have to be early to the pool to get a spot if you’re a friend group or a family. The air conditioning is central system, that means you don’t get it under 20°c inside your room. The gym is small, but if you are creative, you can get an ok workout. Overall a good experience.

Alan Michael

Best hotel in a long time! Friendly staff and very clean, rooms cleaned very well daily. Would definitely recommend a sea view it was amazing! Food was a very good standard and constantly refreshed in the buffet restaurant with a gluten free section. Had some lovely meals here, didn’t try their other restaurants but they looked very good. Lovely pools & gardens with access from the hotel to a beach and sunset grill. We were allowed access to the restaurant for drinks at 3.30am waiting for our taxi to the airport…first class service here, will visit again!

Stephen Fletcher

Great hotel. Accommodation was fine (though we did move rooms due to a growing ants nest). Pools are lovely and not too busy, we were always able to get loungers. We went B&B which was definitely the right choice. We had one evening meal in the main restaurant and it was volume over flavour. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from nearby for similar money but greater quality (including two in-house).

Peter Shields

Great location. Great facilities. Staff are great, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Food is reasonable and varied. The rooms are large but pretty sparce. Noisy, though, you can hear everything. Great Air-con. The beds were miserable, so very uncomfortable. The cleaning was not the best of the rooms, whereas the rest of the hotel was spotless. Overall, it was a nice hotel in a great location. Ask for a quiet room.

Lewis Ritchie

A fantastic holiday from start to finish due in no small part to this wondrous hotel. Wonderful accommodation beautifully presented, we were very well looked after by the conscientious amd professional staff who were always courteous and polite. The food on offer was ten out of ten. The facilities were great (apart from the gym which was really not very good at all). Loved it

Mike Parsons

Lovely hotel, nice rooms which were kept clean, great pool areas including swim up bar. Had no trouble finding a sunbed. Only minor issues to be aware of is that all pool areas close at 7pm. Breakfast had a wide range of options and staff were friendly.

mark peronius

This is a great hotel. It It started with the journey to the hotel. The X1 bus, straight to, outside the hotel for 2 euro. Check-in was a breeze. We were lucky to get a room upgrade to a garden room, overlooking the outside pools and garden which was great. The spa and pools are definitely a bonus and worth the extra. The position of the hotel is great. A good selection of restaurants, all in walking distance. The bus stop is just outside the door taking you down into the bay, over to Popeye experience, the red tower for 2 euro each way. We will definitely be back to this hotel again. We gave a 4 star for the room as the shower was not the best but this will not make us change our mind. This hotel is a great find.

Andy Purcell

Stayed for a week with our quite large (49) Riviera travel tour group. Paid extra for a garden view room and glad we did, some rooms face over a busy road and a section of the hotel is actually over the other side of the road. Very pleased with our room which actually looked down over the bay. (See pic) Room had a balcony and plenty big enough for our needs. Breakfast and Evening meal was a buffet arrangement in the Dining area. Very happy with the selection and quality on offer. The dining area does get very noisy though, very popular with the tour groups. The rooftop bar is terrific, especially when the weather good as it was for us, great place for a sundowner. Various swimming pools, inside and out, quiet garden area to relax if needed. Main road outside is busy and noisy (traffic), Malta in general has a lot of road traffic and don't expect to get anywhere particularly quickly. Buses plentiful and a number stop very near the hotel. Decent choice of eateries around and in the hotel itself. Would happily recommend this place.

Jackie Drew

Thank you for a wonderful stay. It's the best hotel we have stayed in. Location was perfect, rooms were lovely (bed a little hard), great bath and shower with fabulous water pressure. A balcony to watch the world go by with a stunning view. Breakfast was amazing and the selection outstanding. Thank you to the housekeeping staff who were always so efficient and friendly. And as mentioned in another review we loved dining at Al Ponte. The indoor pool and jacuzzi was our favourite spot in an afternoon. I can truly say for the first time in a long while we were relaxed. We will certainly be returning.

Paul Sheldon

Our initial thoughts on the hotel were mixed. The double room we were given had an adjoining door to the next room which had no sound proofing and we had a few disturbed nights of sleep, before we had to complain (people checking in, TVs, banging!! Fortunately Anna on reception was understanding and quickly provided a solution. Our new room was great, and we are grateful for her help. The roof top pool and loungers was a great space to relax and the Asian restaurant on the roof offered great food, view and service. The Italian on the ground floor was nice and had a discount for residents and we found the breakfast restaurant well organised. Overall we enjoyed our stay and time at the hotel.

Mido

This hotel is more for families not really for solo travellers. The room was nice and the sea view was nice. I tried the breakfast twice and it was good. I didn't have water for more than an hour in my second day there which was very surprising as it's a 4 start hotel and they didn't have a back up generator. My last day there one of the elevators wasn't working. I tried to cancel one of the 9 nights I paid for but the client service manager couldn't really help me. If you wanna go out and have a nice night life I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Charles Ledger

Very pleasant hotel. Good service .friendly staff.. nice lobby to sit around in. Nice pools. Only problem is parking if you have a car.. you must park in a linned parking bay.. Hard to find in the evenings. Other wise very good.

Jes Ter (Jes_Ter)

Since I read the reviews, I was expecting the worst when I made my way to the Hotel. And when my google maps told me I have arrived it looked like I was really screwed because I ended up in front of a closed door from what seems to be a worn down building. Was I screwed? Do they already close the reception at 18.00? Actually no, next to the buildig was a SPA and it turned out, this is also the hotel. Nice lobby, friendly stuff what more do you want? The rooms are nothing special, but you got a safe free of charge, a kettle, a fridge, wifi and the beds are okay. Bonus point for also having different kinds of plugs for your electric stuff, so I didn't even need my adapter. You also have a balcony even if the view is not really great. But why would I need a great view from my hotel room, I'm just here to sleep. I brought earplugs, but never needed then because it was quite enough. Of course, for that price you can't expect the Ritz but I paid more money in worse hotels. So I would use it again. The only negative thing is, that St. Pauls is not really a beautiful city and it takes you some time to get around with the public transport. But this is the fault of the public transport system, not the hotel. So 5/5, thank you for the wonderful stay

Carl Kendall

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 recommend this hotel for good food, great pool, and good location. Just ask for a room on a low floor.

Annabelle Thompson

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.

John Carter (Tal-125)

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.

RandJ WorldAdventures

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 Bar were great spots to relax, and the prices were very reasonable, especially during happy hour. It was nice to enjoy a few drinks without feeling like we was overspending. The hotel also has a small but well-equipped gym, which was perfect for a quick workout. Overall, the Pebbles Resort delivered a wonderful experience, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Malta, rain or shine!

jack pollock

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 effective. There was a hair dryer provided, tea/coffee making facilities, with fridge and large television with lots of channels and a safe. The hotel itself is well located, under 5 mins from the sea and lots of restaurants ☀️🌴

Lora Smith

First time ive stayed at pebbles Resort.. and I have to say I've had an amazing 11 days stay the staff are amazing cleaners are brilliant, I only had the breakfast when I booked but not one bad thing to say about the food. Only thing I didn't like is some of the balconies are joint so people can jump over the railings. Only problem I had was who ever was next door must of damaged a chair an swapped it with mine as I was staying on my own I only used one chair and wasn't near the side where it joined and that's where the chair was with the back off but luckily it clipped back on. Other then that I had the most amazing stay there I would definitely go back there.

Maestrae

Very friendly staff especially Simone and Lavish. The buffet food was okay.. they advertised sushi but didn’t see any of that for the week we stayed here sadly. They clean everyday so overal it’s very hygienic. The food and cocktails from the lounge and bar were very good.

Jacek Bisiński

Fantastic hotel with amazing hospitality! Indoor spa area is a hidden gem after a long day (heated pool). Delicious breakfast, very modern lobby and restaurant area. Very kind stuff. This hotel absolutely deserves 4 stars. Location 3 mins walk from the city center. Plenty of free parking spaces around. Can't recommend more, great value for money!

Candice Rowe

Had everything we needed. Location was amazing. Loved the close proximity to the Gozo ferry. Food was OK... Lunch and dinner better than breakfast. Yummy desserts! Nice pools, basic rooms. Came for a conference and it fit the need. Would recommend!

Gina West

Beautiful hotel right next to the ferry to Goza and small beaches. The view from the hotel is stunning. Rooms are cleaned daily. Hotel is also very clean. The reception area is large and airy as is the restaurant the food is of good standard breakfast either continental or cooked plenty tea coffee and juices as well as wine on tap. The food is tasty and well cooked. Lunch is of a good standard and enough options to accommodate all. The desserts are delicious as is the soups. Dinner is of the same standard. And all food we tried is well seasoned the salad bar is fabulous with plenty of choices. The food is not bland as stated by a previous feedback. The reception staff have excellent interpersonal skills and are very accommodating. This also speaks for the cleaning staff and restaurant staff. They have music in the evening and we thought this was excellent. Mario was my favourite. You also play bingo and karaoke. The pools are well maintained as is the showers and toilets. They is a shop and a hairdresser which comes highly recommended. Bus services run outside of the hotel constantly to get around Malta and can take you to the airport to and from. Taxi are available and reasonable. Internet is good. Plenty sockets in the rooms. Complimentary shower gel soap lotions shower caps shoe shine. A relaxing and lovely experience.

Kathleen Schiavi

Room overlooked the workers quarters, so little privacy, obviously the hotel want people to upgrade, but I didn't really want to spend extra money on this. The fridge was leaky and I reported this, it took nearly a whole day to resolve this, lots of water on the floor, which was slippery and dangerous. Milk and coffee weren't replaced on a daily basis, which was a shame, but then I didn't want to keep paying for water either. The food at breakfast was mediocre, the bread products didn't seem fresh. The hotel entertainment just added to the very noisy groups of people watching football, children running around screaming, it just wasn't the ideal place to be in the evenings, wasn't the best atmosphere therefore. I have stayed at quite a few large hotels in Melleiha, this is the one I least liked, the room was the only thing it had going for it. (I took a photo of the windowsill in the restaurant, it was covered in crumbs, didn't get cleaned the whole time I was there).

Margaret Pace

This year is the fourth year we have stayed at the hotel and it has been a great experience as usual. Everywhere was clean, the staff were nice and the food was excellent and abundant as always. Two things though: The top rung of the pool ladder nearest the wall had the top step missing and the ladder opposite was wobbly. And in our room, the handle of the balcony door on the outside was missing. See you next year!

Márton Ober

All in all i am quite satisfied. Perfect location with nice bay view. The rooms are clean and spacious. Outdoor pools are great with many sunbeds. Unfortunately food was very poor quality:(

Paul Watkins

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.

Yuliia Bocharnikova

No peace. No sleep. Sleep, an essential part of any restful vacation, is impossible here due to a cacophony of noises and an indifferent staff. I regret not having read the reviews before we booked this hotel. Upon arrival, we were met with loud, disruptive noises coming from the room above—like heavy furniture being dragged around. This went on late into the evening and started again in the early morning, making it impossible to sleep. We requested a room change, but it didn’t make much of a difference. Honestly, I think all rooms are like that. Sound from every direction—music from the bar, noise in the corridor, and street sounds—flooded the room. Despite complaining to the reception, the staff showed no compassion or willingness to address the issue, instead informing us that noise is permitted in Malta from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. This made it clear that the hotel prioritizes the noise policy over the comfort of its guests. The windows in the room offered no insulation, making it feel as though we were sleeping outside. The balcony doors wouldn’t close properly, so escaping the noise was impossible, even during the supposed "quiet hours." We asked for earplugs, but the manager said they don't provide them. Complaining again about the noise was useless. We were told that the noise is to be expected in a residential area, which felt like a weak excuse for a 4-star hotel failing to soundproof its rooms. Instead of acknowledging their shortcomings, the staff implied we were wrong for complaining. The issues didn’t stop there. The balcony chair was broken, and the bathroom door barely worked. When we pointed it out to the housekeepers they said that they haven’t seen that, which is hard to believe given the obvious state of disrepair. The only positive part of our stay was the food and the kind restaurant staff, but this was not enough to salvage an otherwise uncomfortable and unwelcome experience. If you're seeking rest or relaxation, this hotel is not the place for you. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

I recently stayed at this so-called "four-star" hotel in Malta for a 15-day study vacation with a group of friends, and it was nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment we arrived, we were met with appalling conditions that ruined our entire stay. First, the basics: towels, blankets, and pillows were **never** changed throughout our stay. We had to deal with dirty, smelly linens every single day. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the rooms were infested with **ants and cockroaches**—we found a cockroach the moment we stepped into our room! The room itself was a disaster. They crammed four of us into a space that barely fits two. The lack of space was so bad that I kept falling out of bed and now have bruises all over my legs. To make matters worse, the keycard for our room stopped working, and instead of helping us, the staff blamed us for it—even though we hadn’t done anything wrong! Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly rude and unprofessional. They treated us like we were the problem, rather than paying guests. Their attitude made an already bad situation even worse. To top it all off, due to a mistake on their part, we were forced to change rooms at **1:30 AM** after we had already unpacked and settled in. We had to make multiple trips back and forth to move all of our belongings, and the staff offered no help whatsoever. It was a chaotic and exhausting experience that no guest should ever have to go through. The food wasn’t much better. While taste is subjective, and everyone has their own preferences, I found the food to have a strange texture and poor quality. I wasn’t the only one—many others in our group felt the same way. This hotel was a complete disaster from start to finish. I strongly advise anyone considering a stay here to think twice—especially if you expect a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. This place doesn’t even come close to what you’d expect from a four-star hotel. It’s honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed in

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.

Four star hotel???!!! This is not a "4-star" hotel! Do not get "scammed". Please, please have a look at the reviews before planning. Extremely rude and unprofessional staff (even racist). In terms of the hotel buildings, stairs, and rooms: I have not seen a much worse place than Soreda! My daughter had a near to death experience in our bathroom (photos attached). At about 11pm, she was having a shower when she saw the ceiling hanging on above her head. She screamed and ran out when the ceiling came banging down to the shower area just 2 split seconds after she moved from there. The whole family and friends were shocked. The manager came to see us the next morning, apologised, and moved us to one of their luxurious suites. Left the hotel the next day as we could not bear to stay there any longer! Ruined our whole trip to Malta - Many thanks for that!

Spent 4 nights here in November 2024. There are some negative reviews posted about this hotel but to be honest we had a great stay. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms maybe a bit dated but they're clean and comfortable. Ours had a small kitchen area with everything you'd need together with a sofa bed , a dining table and chairs. There was also a decent sized balcony with 2 sun loungers, a couple of chairs and a table. Meals were good and there was always plenty. For the price you're not going to get a luxury boutique hotel with gourmet food. Can't comment on the spa and pools as we didn't use them. The location is great as you're not that far from the sea front with plenty of bars, restaurants and small supermarkets on the doorstep. It's handily placed for the bus station which is a few minutes walk away and you can get a bus just about anywhere on the island. They can be a bit busy but they're clean & regular. We'd definitely stay here again !

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 opposite. Will be back! Thanks for everything guys!

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 & every single one of them has been friendly & helpful. We are all more than happy with our room , nice balcony , air con works very well which is hard to find & we find the rooms pretty soundproof given it's in a busy area. Facilities at the hotel are very good & we found it very well organised in all areas. We had breakfast on booking which we also found very good, lots of choices & replenished by staff very regularly. There is something for everyone & we have a fussy eater in the group. You are not rushed & the choices are great in my opinion. This hotel is in a prime location & I'd definitely recommend it , As a family we've stayed in Malta before at 5 star places in St Julian's but we've all said we'd prefer to come back here if we do as they make you feel so welcome. Overall, a brilliant stay at Hotel Santana. Thank you for a great stay

Craig Wilkins

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.

Vicky Samantha Cueva

I think for a 4-star hotel, it was definitely a big miss for myself and my family. 4-stars is definitely too generous and here’s why: 1. The rooms are alright. We were initially offered a corner room by the end of the hotel, which was horrible for a light sleeper like me. I barely slept the first night because I could hear the construction in the building next door! As well as the footsteps in the corridor due to the bed being right next to the door. 2. After the first night, I asked for a room change, which was met with a bit of hesitance but was helped with. Although the new room was bigger, there was another issue. 3. When showering, the water would leak through and cover the bathroom in water. We had to call the reception twice to ask them to clean it. In the end they placed towels on the floor, which they changed daily. Although I appreciate the cleaners effort, it’s simply awful that we are paying for a stay in a place and they can’t even fix the shower! 4. The cleaning could definitely be better. Despite the cleaner being friendly, the room cleaning service was mediocre. There were hairs on the floor and I was given a used towel - it smelt horrific. The only good thing was the breakfast buffet and the lovely staff working there. They were prompt in removing the dishes and cups, and were very friendly. Overall, it’s definitely not worthy of 4-stars and it's not a place we will be returning to.

Jordan Raoul

I stayed for a short holiday with my wife, was a lovely hotel great rooms, lots of space in the sea view apartment we opted for. Bathroom is a little tight for me but it is modern and clean. Our view was second to none. The breakfast was good. There was a lot on offer and I felt the quality was good. The facilities are great from the indoor pool, sauna and gym. I've used them all and they're worth the time. Lastly, the staff were all so lovely, helpful and genuine. Would come back if I visit Malta again. Highly recommend!

Amy Armitage

We stayed here for 5 days - the staff were lovely and helpful. However, the room had a strange smell to it on arrival, the best way I can describe it is like acetone/nail polish remover. We also had a room overlooking the stairs so there were quite a lot of people walking past the room. We didn't have anywhere to wash/dry our clothes as we didn't have a balcony so just to keep this in mind. There are a few restaurants around which were great. The breakfast had a good variety of food items. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Our stay at the Pergola Hotel was exceptional! The facilities were top-notch, especially the beautiful swimming pool and relaxing sauna, making it the perfect place to unwind. The location is fantastic, with easy access to nearby attractions and stunning views. The staff were all incredibly friendly, but a special mention goes to Mr. Rajkumar, who truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. His warmth and attention to detail made a huge difference. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Chris Buxey

I stayed at the Pergola last week with my wife and two children, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The hotel was clean, relatively modern, and the staff were both friendly and helpful. Particular highlights were the three swimming pools, the Cave Bar and the very extensive breakfast buffet. If/when we come back to Malta, we will definitely stay at the Pergola again!

A Tomlinson

Currently staying at the Pergola Hotel with my daughters aged 2 and 7 - my mother and sister. Gorgeous hotel. Lovely sea view. Love how the staff work hard to keep the grounds and the pools spotless. Food is fab. Cocktails are lush. Special thank you to Rouselle, Francine and Henrik for answering my endless questions about the surrounding area.

Sapna Balani

We had the buffet there last Sunday and were thoroughly delighted. From the friendly welcome at the main entrance to the prompt service during lunch and the food was the best buffet food we've ever tasted with the quality and flavors we we're spoilt for choice. Well done keep up the good work. We'll be back

Frances McKelvie

We booked this fairly last minute on a bed and breakfast basis as we were wanting to tour the island and eat out. We were told by the tour operator that there was construction work in the vicinity. We didn't find this an issue as we had a room facing the sea. There's lots of construction work in Malta at the moment as they appear to be upgrading many apartments and hotels so you can't really avoid it. The breakfast was the usual buffet style and suited us fine. Staff were very nice and room was kept clean every day. The only fault was the lack of information on display in the foyer telling guests what was on each day in the hotel. The roof terrace is for adults only and very nice with affinity pools and plenty of loungers etc. I preferred sitting up there as it was quieter. The family pool area across the road is accessed via a tunnel and you're given towels for the duration of your stay to use in either area plus it also has plenty of loungers. You can buy drinks and snacks in both pool areas. They're still working inside the hotel getting rooms finished but as we were on the 7th floor we didn't find this an issue. Our room was nice but we thought it unusual that it had a glass corner in the shower cubicle which didn't give you much privacy when using the toilet or having a shower as you were visible from the bedroom. I don't think this is a good feature especially if you're on holiday with a friend or other family members. Hairdryer, iron, toiletries, towels, kettle, tea/coffee/milk are all supplied and replaced daily. We would definitely recommend the hotel plus is in a central location.

Johan Edvard Tellum

Great and new hotel but is’s not finished building and a lot of dust and building noise from the hotel itself plus next door building (July2023). Great roof top facilities with infinity pools, whirlpools and a bar. Unfortunately loud music until late night that disturbs even though the rooms are relatively sound proof. Mostly techno music. There is a pool with sun beds across the road giving access to the ocean. Some Water sports directly Oceanside. Medium Friendly hotel Staff, service minded kitchen staff but seem new in the job with little experience. Good food. Great air conditioning in the room; silent and effective. Poor availability for lifts (half of them out of order) and stairs - the stairs and even the emergency exits lead to construction areas. Good capacity for larger groups (football teams etc). No sun on the room balcony’s. Incredibly complicated and slow reception personell and system, everything must be cleared via email and The Management. The hotel is in a pretty quiet part of the island without much party. Except groceries and some tourist shops there are little shopping opportunities in the area.

We had booked 1 week all inclusive at this hotel (tomorrow is our last day). Before our departure, we knew that this hotel was newly renovated/opened and so there was a chance that it would not be completely finished. We wanted to take this "risk" anyway because it looked beautiful on the pictures. From the first moment we arrived until now we have not regretted our choice for one moment. The hotel has been beautifully renovated. It all looks very luxurious (even the details were looked at). As mentioned in previous reviews things are still being finished here and there but we knew that so for us this was certainly not a problem. The pools are beautiful. Downstairs there is a family pool with 2 slides. Perfect for families with children. On the top floor you have 2 pools and jaccuzi's overlooking the sea. Nicer than what we expected. Both breakfast and afternoon/evening buffet are super delicious. There is plenty of choice so there is something for everyone. Afternoon/evening also some things are changed all the time so you keep having enough variety. The quality/taste of the food is higher than at other hotels. The 2 restaurants (Luzzu and Cheeky Monkey) where we are allowed to eat as guests of the hotel are a nice change. There is also a possibility to eat once at restaurant Minoa (the hotel's restaurant on the top floor). This was open since early this week and we took advantage of it. The menu is limited but of high quality. The restaurant is beautiful and the open kitchen is definitely a plus. Our room was good. We unfortunately did not get a renovated room but the room had everything it should have. Besides the renovated aspect and the location, the biggest quality of this hotel is the staff. It is nice as a guest to meet all these friendly people. We can see that these people enjoy doing their jobs. They are super friendly! The room was always cleaned very clean, the people at the bars/towels are extremely friendly as are the people at the front desk. It is not a forced friendliness. You notice that the people who work here are proud of what they do and enjoy making the guests feel comfortable. One small flaw in the hotel is the elevators. We often had to wait a long time before we could take an elevator. Taking into account that the hotel is not completely full yet, this can cause some problems. Congratulations on your renovated hotel! Keep up the good work. We would love to come back when the hotel is completely finished!

Eddie Ostle

Stunning hotel is a must stay if in Malta,was more than I expected, enjoyed everything minute spend there, beautiful hotel, start as you walk in door, very polite staff and very helpful, rooms are spacious great sea views, beautiful meals, brilliant selection for all foods as we were half board brilliant selection, few pools in hotel beautiful and clean. They ave everything under one roof, only thing that I can give negative for is no information about meal times or anything that is in the hotel , but for everything else got to be 10/10 for me.

Nicola Ware

The room was a generous size with large bed and immaculate bathroom. Also, there is plenty of storage. The room was serviced daily and linen always smelt fresh and clean. Hotel facilities really good. Two rooftop pools and one spa pool. Food was really good with different theme each night. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. Location is excellent. The town has plenty of bars and restaurant. Also on several bus routes. Overall, one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Would highly recommend.

Tomas Reifenschweiler

Price-quality wise, just amazing. Friendly and helpful staf, clean rooms, delicious sauna and a very pleasant indoor pool. Sadly it was a bit too cold for me to swim outdoor (on the rooftop). Very very pleasant stay. Highly recommended for the price.

Courtney Cook

10/10 hotel! We stayed here for 3 nights and the hotel is lovely! The location is great if you want a quieter stay! But transport is so easy to get around if you want to explore! The pools are nice, the restaurants serve lovely food and all staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful! We had a standard twin room and wow they were massive! We will Definitely stay again! Thank you so much!

Geraldine Lo Monaco

We had a wonderful stay at the Solana Hotel. The hotel is centrally located in Mellieha, just a 2-minute walk from public transportation, making it easy to reach all the major attractions in Malta. We were upgraded to a room with a breathtaking view, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive—when my son fell ill during our stay, they checked in several times to see how he was doing. We’ll definitely return to Solana Hotel if we come back to Malta.

T M

Our stay at Hotel Solana was too short. I rarely stay in hotels, and usually leave feeling underwhelmed. The Solana exceeded our expectations. Reception staff are amazing; kind, attentive, and very professional. Our room looked out to sea from a sheltered balcony and had incredible views. The room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. I was quite happy to spend a quiet evening relaxing after a hectic week whilst my daughter went out with a friend. The rooftop pools and bar have amazing views and are well maintained with sufficient facilities for guests. The lady working on the bar was especially lovely. Breakfast is a feast with a huge variety of choice. We were in a rush to catch our flight but would have liked to linger longer to enjoy breakfast in the bright, airy breakfast room. Probably the best breakfast selection and location of any hotel I've ever stayed in. Mellieħa seems a very charming town and I would love to visit for longer. Thank you to Solana Hotel Mellieħa.

Nice hotel, self catering, good location extremely close to the sea, has a separate outdoor pool, gym, spa and an indoor pool. We visited at the end of September so it wasn't very busy. The temperature in Malta at that time of the year is perfect, still hot, all day sunshine and warm evenings. The hotel isn't luxurious but perfectly good standard. A few shops across the road and plenty of restaurants and drinking venues along the sea front. It's a close walk into the St Paul's area which is the main town. I would recommend staying at this hotel if you want peace and quiet and to be away from the busy areas.

Emma Heslop

A nice hotel set off from the main road, making it less busy than those on the main promenade. The seaview rooms offer a stunning outlook and are worth the extra premium. The hotel itself could do with a re vamp, but our 2 bed apartment was spacious and well equipped. The staff were always pleasant and courteous. For the price, you really can't go wrong!

Ineke Camille

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 of space. The kitchen facilities had all the basics we needed (and we like to cook). We loved our stay in Malta and were out every day, but the idea of coming 'home' every day was lovely. The apartment was spacious, and all 3 kids quickly found their corner and took ownership. We took full use of the facilities with our daughter preferring the pool (i think a mix of chlorinated and sea water) and older boys and hubby walking through to swim in the sea. We all enjoyed the spa, although only discovered it in later days 🙈 our own fault. It was a lovely hideaway in the indoor pool (chlorinated) after a day in the sun. Hubby even booked a session in the sauna with our boys. On our walk, we discovered an automated laundry mate, literally next door from the main road, so we made use of that. It was clean and easy to use. We loved our stay and will be back.

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 was the large kitchen in the room, which allowed us to buy food and cook it ourselves, making it very convenient. The location is perfect. I would like to thank all the staff at the hotel, from the room cleaners to the receptionists, for their great efforts and all the staff were smiling and welcoming, making us feel comfortable and happy. I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends and anyone looking to have an enjoyable vacation. Next time, I will certainly book the same room again as I really liked it. Thank you Malta, thank you AX Sunny Coast Resort & Spa, it was a wonderful trip and I enjoyed it to the fullest.😊

Adam Whelan

Please stay away! This hotel is not worth the money they charge. It's labeled as a 4-star, but in reality, it's 2 stars at best. The plugs in the room didn’t work, the toilet was broken, and even the fresh towels smelled like vinegar. Room was filled with dirt and dust. The staff were rude, and our room, advertised as a sea view, actually overlooked a dirty common area with a bad odor. The hotel is extremely outdated, and I strongly advise against staying here

Dario Modena

The hotel is well-located and with a great infrastructure. The location is just walking distance from St. Julian's bay and is surrounded by fine dining restaurants and cafes. The hotel offers a free on-site car park with a self-registering system that allows you to safely park the car under a surveillance system. Access to the car park is through a lift that goes directly to the reception or desired floor. At the reception, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I would like to express my gratitude to Javier, the front desk supervisor as he took his time to explain to me and my girlfriend the tour options, and tips for traveling around and exploring Malta at its best. Me and my girlfriend decided to book the tour with the hotel and it was a great experience. I strongly advise booking this hotel and if you do so, do not miss the gym on the -1 floor and the swimming pool on the rooftop, it offers a magnificent view of St. Julian's Bay.

Bhavik Gandhi

the staff and hotel was lovely. The room we stayed in was spacious and the bathroom was very nice. Like that the A/C worked and did cool the room down. Only thing that i would like to see change would be when the pool closes. Feels as 8pm is a bit too early for it to close especially if you have spent a day traveling and it would be closes by the time you get back. Otherwise great hotel would stay again.

Fabrizio Milia

We had an amazing stay, from the start right to the end We recommend the breakfast as it is a good value for money and a great start to your day with everything from the continental to the english selection. Lunch and snacks are also served in the roof top swimming pool, which is the hotel gem Our room was nicely cleaned and very well equipped with everything needed for your stay. We like to thank the staff for being so kind and helpful. Their customer service was outstanding. We definitely recommend this hotel if you wish to stay in St Julien

K K

This hotel has potential however loses its appeal in the detail. The power went out several times in our room, the bathroom lock was broken, the toilet seat was broken, and one day there was no hot water. The outlets beside the bed are by the ground so bring long cables in order to reach the side table. Staff were able to fix the broken items. Smoking is allowed by the pool which doesn’t allow a pleasant experience. There’s very limited umbrellas and shade by the pool. Room cleaning wasn’t done until 3pm a few days which is annoying to come back from an afternoon at the pool to find no clean towels. The towels they offer were very small and thin so require replacing regularly. Breakfast was fine. The hotel hosts tours groups so there was a moment with 10-15 people lined up for the coffee machines. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the bus stop to Valletta.

Joanne Harris

Fantastic long weekend at the Mercure. Perfect location. Staff were really friendly & helpful. Rooms were immaculately cleaned and had daily calls to ensure we were satisfied. Gorgeous rooftop pool which was perfect for relaxing by day with friends. Excellent breakfast with lots of variety. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Rye Serneo (Rye)

I want to share my positive experience at this hotel with you. Some previous guests have left negative reviews, but I found it to be a gem. The room was decent and the service from the staff, especially Khalid at the reception and Juan in the restaurant was amazing. The breakfast at the restaurant is excellent. The portion size is generous, and the quality of the food is top notch. The price was reasonable and the location was very convenient with easy access to transportation and various attractions. I definitely plan to stay at this hotel again in the future.

Milena Lamar

Excellent employees! Except for one I found on the last day, it seemed to be replacing the attendant. The place is great. But I was unlucky enough to find a cockroach in my room. Breakfast is very basic. The location is worth it. But, they owe me back the 5 euros they charged me when I arrived. They charge this fee to make sure we're going to return the key, I think that's terrible! And on the day I checked out, who answered me was an unprepared person and didn't give me my money back. I've already sent an email about it and I'm waiting for answers.

Jill Sullivan

Although the room had a great view across the harbour, the hotel itself was very tired and needs updating. The air conditioning was faulty and the fridge was barely working. The breakfast was awful with powdered scrambled eggs and hardly any choice. There were still perspex screens up left over from covid 4 years ago so you had to ask for what you wanted. Also when we were there loads of school kids were there on a school trip so at breakfast it felt like a school canteen. This wasn't mentioned when we booked. The pool was supposed to open at 10, which I thought was a bit late anyway but sometimes it didn't open until at least. 10.30 and one day they were not going to open because there was a bit of a wind. The staff though were great but there weren't enough of them so they were run off their feet. The location of the hotel was good and there were plenty of good restaurants and bars nearby. Generally I would not recommend this hotel.

Lorenzo De Iudicibus

I stayed in this hotel last week with my school from Rome for a language trip and I must say that I had a lot of fun given the experiences I had that I will never forget. Today I returned to class and the routine has started again, but I will always cherish this week spent having fun with my classmates and teachers.

Javier Certain

As a traveler and thinking about having a place comfortable to rest this is one of the worst places I have seen, I was given a single bedroom for 2 people. The installations are too old and not in good conditions, the bed is uncomfortable ; the AC does not work properly, the view from the room is terrible. I will never stay there again.

Elisa Borg

Our 4-night stay at Ramla Bay Resort was simply amazing! The staff were exceptional—so accommodating and always serving with a smile. The hotel caters incredibly well to all sorts of allergies, which was a huge plus for us. We stayed on a half-board basis, and the buffet was always varied, with plenty of options every day. The rooms were spacious, stylish, and impeccably clean, with breathtaking views that made our stay even more relaxing. Despite the ongoing construction, we didn’t hear a single noise, even while at the pool. We can't wait to come back! Keep up the fantastic work!

Rusty Jones

Not much nearby so bring extra snacks and drinks. There is a small convenience store onsite but it has very limited hours and high prices. The pool bar is basically a public pool concession stand...very understaffed. The poor woman running it alone deserves a medal. I very much appreciated the adult only pool since the place was crawling with kids. But I would have liked poolside drink service. There is a lot of construction going on but we didn't find it disruptive. It's going to be very nice when it's finished but I don't know if the price was justified for the level of service. Food in the restaurant is basic. The buffet made me laugh out loud. Breakfast...well it gave me food poisoning (probably the fruit salad) which was not the souvenir anyone wants. Place definitely needs a management shakeup and new direction in the kitchen. We stayed two days and didn't really leave the hotel...but the amenities would definitely need a big improvement for me to ever come here again. Can't get by with just a great view. Room was clean but our air-conditioning died on the second night which was very uncomfortable. And they are very cheap with soap and shampoo...so bring extra.

Florian Frei

we spent 6 days in this hotel, the employees were kind, smiling and welcoming. the food was super good and varied. the SPA and the swimming pools are incredibly clean like the hotel. we loved our stay thank you. We recommend this hotel to everyone who goes to Malta

Don Blyth

Large spacious modern looking rooms.Ours had a kitchen and double balcony with separate seating area and couch and kitchen table. Also nice to have 2 bathrooms in our room. Beautiful view of the Ocean and Comino. Nice to have a adult only swimming pool. Breakfast was good. Nice modern looking lobby and lovely central garden with trees and plants with seating areas between the buildings. Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean and modern. Minor negatives, skimpy on the towels (only smaller size towels were provided, no larger bath towel) and only small foil packs of shampoo,body wash provided. Also not enough staff in the pool area. The outside pools were nice though and also have option to dip in the ocean next to the pool area with a sandy beach. Indoor pool and hot tub nice as well

Andreas Lepadatu

The 15-day stay at Ramla Bay was exceptional. This was the fifth time we've stayed at this hotel, and I can confidently say that with each passing year, the services are absolutely wonderful, with an incredibly professional and warm staff who help you with anything you need. The rooms are clean and far above the standard of a 4-star hotel, and I can say that the food is the best I've had at any hotel in Malta! And believe me, I've stayed at 5-star hotels in Malta... So, without a doubt, I will return for the sixth time next year to this resort, which has become by far the favorite for me and my family! Conclusion a dream resort, a dream location and a dream staff!

Maria Martin

Just returned from a really lovely stay at this hotel. My bedroom was superb, clean and comfortable. So much to choose from at Breakfast! An excellent buffet breakfast. Choice of 3 pools! Easy access to a small beach so I could sea swim. The hotel is slightly out of the way but bus stops outside so you can get to places and reception staff very helpful in telling you what buses to get. I couldn't fault the hotel and hopefully will get to stay there again

Around The world

Very nice stuffs. Very good service. Hotel is very clean. I loved it all food and everything. But for room cleaning mostly they come late on the afternoon or shortly before 6 pm but never mornings . For the buffet it was really good and delicious but breakfast buffet is always the same. And for the dinner buffet there is a big variety but when there isn't too many people they make it smaller and they put what ever there is and that mostly happens from Monday to Thursday. So if you wanted to have way more options you should try it during weekends starting Friday

Ludwig Ertl

First, the food quality was shockingly poor. It was honestly difficult to enjoy and lacked any of the flavors, freshness, or quality I expected. To be frank, it was quite unpleasant and did not meet even basic standards. Additionally, the cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. The floor beneath the bed had clearly not been cleaned and was visibly dirty, which created a very uncomfortable and unsettling atmosphere. It’s basic for a room to be thoroughly cleaned before a guest arrives, so finding this was a major letdown. Lastly, I was floored to see that a replacement towel came at an extra cost of 70€. I find this price both unreasonable and excessive for an essential item, and it added to my frustration. Only good thing was the convenience store, that could be reached by climbing a bunch of walls. I strongly urge you to review your standards and address these issues to prevent future guests from having a similar experience. I hope to see a response indicating how you plan to resolve these concerns. Thank you for your attention to this feedback.

Yuhao SHEN

This hotel is really horrible. The service attitude of waitresses in the restaurant is awful and they do not care about the customer. The room is not very clean with some bizarre smell. The fire alarm the room flashes all the time that make us very difficult to sleep and can not be turned off. The alarm outside the room will sonor in the middle of night with no reason at all. The receptionist have an correct attitude but they are mostly the young students for part time job. They don’t have the correct knowledge and availability to serve their customers. The swimming pool is dirty with a lot of insects in the water. In all, the hotel is really awful.

Gabrijela Novak

Hotel was so beautiful, everything so clean, views are amazing on every side of it. Room was big and has everything you need, even balcony(every room have it). Two outdoor and one indoor pools are great, they have spa, hair salon, souvenir store and also have game room. They also have cigarette machine. Food is great, they have three restaurants. Cross the road is public white sand beach. Also next to it is bus stop. Only bad thing could be location. But thats not problem if you want truly peace and relax.

Good hotel, located a few mins walk from the beach. Rooms were spacious and well decorated. Staff were all friendly and very helpful. Really well equipped gym, indoor pool and sauna. Steam room functioning but there’s an damp/mouldy smell in there. Rooftop pool area also lovely with a nice sea view. Wasn’t a big fan of the breakfast though so docked a point. Fruit juices were from concentrate, coffee machine makes some very bad coffee and the food in general wasn’t up to scratch for me. Hotel also caters to families/older demographic from my experience which for me is fine but may not be suited for a group of lads for example. Total cost for 4 night was £500 including breakfast. Probably fair considering the facilities.

Lovely hotel in Sliema. My husband was in the hospital next door and the location was ideal. I found the most wonderful and concerned members of staff on the front desk, Charles' welcome each morning at breakfast. Marvellous Penny Black bar for an evening snack. Thr room was very comfortable, and the cleaning staff efficient always helpful. Thank for making my stay during a worrying time so wonderful.

Me and my family stayed here in August 2023, and it was a fantastic stay! The breakfast buffet provided plenty of options and I was always satisfied when using it. Reception were always helpful whenever we needed something. The swimming pools at the top are very good and the views are spectacular. Being able to drink at the Palace's (neighboring hotel) bar and restaurant was also very convenient. The options of restaurants and bars at the rooftop too were also very satisfying to have. The rooms are at a high standard along with having balconies with more tremendous views. Highly recommended if you're looking for somewhere to stay in the metropolitan side of Malta.

Overall it was a very pleasant stay. We got a complimentary update to a wonderful and spacious room. The view from the balcony was superb as the beds were comfortable. The rooftop pool and sundeck were brilliant too. The huge breakfast buffet was excellent and all of the staff members were extremely helpful. No matter what, I felt treated like a very well appreciated guest. It's a very professional run hotel which also cares about the small things in the guests everyday life.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, myself and my girlfriend's first holiday together and the staff were all excellent,very helpful, and accommodating with all our needs. Nice decor and fully air conditioned, rooms were very good, and cleaned very well every morning whilst we were out. Lots of local shops, good transport links with buses and cabs available. Food was excellent, and good variety every evening. We really enjoyed our stay here, and were quite comfortable despite the heat, and highly recommend here. They also have a hotel that's joined to this one, so you can access their facilities too, such as additional restaurants, pool and spa.

What a fantastic place. As I write this I am still currently here on holiday from the U.K I always think its the people that make a holiday and the team of staff members and it's management are second to none. They are so friendly, warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always on hand to help. The team down in reception are first class always greet you with a huge smile and a good morning, afternoon or, evening. They are super knowledgeable too. The facilities are fantastic, always exceptionally clean, the gym, sauna and pool area is amazing rooms are huge and detailed to a very high standard. I am here on a B&B basis and the food choices are outstanding with the restaurant staff being as amazing as the reception staff. Housekeeping are also exceptional and work extremely hard to make sure your stay is comfortable at all times. This place is a must and in a great location too I would highly recommend to anyone..

At the moment we are still here! It’s a fabulous hotel. Spotless, great staff, food is amazing too Pool is cold but very inviting as it was still hot end of October. It’s a bit crammed in up there but with less people it was ok My only criticism is there is no entertainment, apart from a great guy singer on Saturday night. It’s very very quiet , could do with some music playing in the bar .

I recently stayed at Seaview Hotel, and it was an absolute delight! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. The breakfasts were a highlight – delicious and varied. I especially loved the fresh pastries and local specialties. The rooftop pool – it was heavenly! The views were breathtaking, and it was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. I highly recommend Seaview Hotel. It’s a gem with top-notch service, scrumptious breakfasts, and that divine rooftop pool 🌟🏊‍♂️ Thank you!

We had a nice stay (3 nights) in this hotel. The service and the breakfast were very nice. The pool has a great view and the prices for the drinks at the pool bar are also good. The view from the balcony is awesom but the windows in the rooms arent that good, so if there was a party in the bar near by or a very windy evening or night, it was very loud so it wasn't easy to sleep normally. Also the seal in the bathroom is very weak, therefore the floor was wet after every shower. All in one a nice stay, and with a few little changes, it could be a perfect stay!

We had a great stay at Seaview. Our room was with a side sea view, looking out over Saint Paul's Bay and beautiful sunsets. Rooms were very clean, A/C worked well, internet was very good. The rooftop terrace with sun beds, infinity pool and restaurant/bar was a nice spot to hang out and relax. There is also a gym (not super big, but with a fair amount of machines) and an indoor pool. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. Would definitely book again!

The best part of this hotel is the rooftop, it has a gorgeous view. Make sure you make a reservation for drinks or dinner, it is very easy to do through the website. The location was very central, close to a lot of restaurants and bars. The only reason why I took one star away was because I reserved the airport transportation and instead of getting the hotel vehicle, I got a Bolt. If I had known I was paying for the hotel to book a ride share vehicle, I would have booked it myself (because of the significant price difference and the car selection. My driver smelled like alcohol)

Quick stop here for dinner with views. Beautiful roof-top bar and pool, amazing view. Luxurious interior decoration and lots of friendly staff at the roof top bar. Delicious food, great ambiance after a busy long day. Recommended for a few days stay in Valletta.

I stayed at this hotel last summer and had an excellent experience. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly hotel staff who guided us to our room. The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and modern. The bathroom was large and well-appointed, exceeding my expectations. Every morning, we savored a delicious breakfast at the hotel's rooftop restaurant with stunning views overlooking Valletta. The rooftop restaurant also offers lunch and dinner, but dining there at sunset was an unforgettable experience. The rooftop features a small yet lovely infinity pool. The hotel's location is unbeatable; situated in the heart of the old town, it allows easy access to shops, restaurants, and major sights. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to visiting again.

The hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. I requested an early check-in through booking, and although it wasn’t confirmed via email, they said they would do their best. When we arrived, around 9 AM, the room was ready. It was absolutely perfect as we had been up since very early in the morning, and we managed to get some sleep before going out. The breakfast was very rich, and the restaurant had an impressive view. Everyone wanted to make sure we had a great experience. The location was extraordinary, right in the heart of Valletta, and the noise wasn’t too noticeable. A few things were rated around 8-9 out of 10, rather than a perfect 10. First of all, we didn’t have a balcony in our room. Probably, if we had asked, they would have changed it, but it didn’t occur to us that there were rooms without balconies. Then, coming from a less humid area, we felt the need for a dehumidifier in the room. Clothes worn on a Monday were still damp by Saturday, towels as well, and T-shirts wouldn’t dry (even though the air conditioning was on almost continuously). We couldn’t make a reservation at the rooftop restaurant through the app; I understand it wasn’t working for a while. The rooms were quite dark, and we needed to use the lights even during the day. All in all, an extraordinary experience :)

We booked a meal for 2 in the Rooftop Restaurant. Welcomed warmly shown to table. Not the best seats so asked to move the host said she would check and come back and never did. Eventually a waiter checked and we were moved. 45 min wait for our wine and we had to chase 3 times. Starter was nice but not as described (beef sliders) basically mini beef burgers no better than a decent burger van. Main course Pork was tepid at best, risotto just not very nice, but had such a long wait for it we did not send it back we may never have eaten before midnight. Overpriced food just to get the view. Wine was OK but again limited choice unless you bought it by the bottle. My wine was not the one I ordered but took such a look time to come I made do as it tasted alright. Did not have desert as the rest of the food was poor at best so did not want further disappointment. Toilets were not clean and no toilet paper or towels to dry your hands. So. Unless you really want to see the view so not eat in this restaurant. Overpriced and not very good. Poor staff and no organisation.
