Last Minute Holidays to Malta

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!

Lovely staff! Honestly, such a great team, they have been so helpful and kind. Room is spacious and good and beds comfy, gym is great and the view is beautiful. WARNING (not about the hotel, but worth mentioning) about the closest mini mart across the road DO NOT SHOP THERE - I bought two bottles of water, three beers, a pack of crisps, a small pack of pretzels some chocolate and some eggs, tomatoes and feta and an onion and three cartons of juice. It barely filled a backpack and she charged me €70 and didn't give me a receipt. I didn't realise til I got back to the apartment. I am very dumb. Don't be dumb like me. Daylight robbery from the mini mart across the road.

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.

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.😊

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 are great. Both an indoor and outdoor right on the seafront and just across from the hotel. There's a bar for food and drink also at the poop with food being served 12-4pm and drinks I believe till much later on. The hotel give beach towels you can change as needed. I honestly can't fault the hotel. Definitely in the better part of St pauls Bay and only a short walk from the busier end.

Stefania Avacum

In the resort you have everything you need: pool, private beach, restaurants, bars, massage or nails salon, shop and the possibility of buying boat tour or desert safari. In proximity there are other restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and and small bazars. The staff is very friendly and helpful, all of them are speaking English (other languages: French, German, Polish, Italian). The rooms are not what I was expecting, but are very clean. Our room had an amazing view to the pool and see and the sun was hitting the balcony only a few hours in the morning - in Egypt this is a good thing :)) The food is halal how I was expected, but everyone can find something good to eat.

Katarina Stošić

First we got an apartment looking on the wall and ventilation that made dust all over the terace. We asked to change rooms and they did. We got in exchange the best room in all hotel, even though it was just the two of us, we got a room for four overlooking the pool. In both of our rooms, the aparmant was cleaned everyday and they put new towels too. Beda really comfortable! All the staff were extremely nice. The beach is small but clean. There are some reefs on the beach which were amazing to see. I am leaving some pictures of the fish and rays that we saw here. Everything we asked for, we got. The food is almost the same everyday but it was really tasty and there was enough to choose from. The hotel is in the city center and is very safe. There are a lot of shops. Absolutely recommend and would come back! PS I would recommend going diving, I felt very safe and there is a lot to be seen. Luxor is just not worth that trip.

Elias Hanna

This hotel was very clean and aesthetically beautiful. The food was good and the location was perfect for visiting the beach. The staff was extremely professional and accommodating, it was an overall amazing experience. This is a great place to bring your family, we all had a very enjoyable time here.

Laura “Mikelina” G M

Vent there with family , staff not so friendly, we was 5 people give us 4 towels, we not ask more just shared. At the check out they say we give you 5 towels and you give back only 4 need to fight with them that we always had 4, invite even pool manager to confirm that we always had only 4 towels, and he say with straight face I cant remember them. But we stay 10 days talk to that person every single day, lough and he even know our names but by magic his memory gone when they want to charge us 50$ for loosing towel which we never had :D

Andreea Arion

Terrible and unacceptable experience with hotel and security staff being racist on two separate occasions to darker skinned men. Both were harassed, told they were lying, one of them told her could not come in because he's Egyptian despite his wife and friends already being inside. They claimed they had had a security incident with Egyptian men the previous month but there is no reason why they should bar some people from entering, allowing others to enter without questions asked, being rude and harassing others...everyone deserves to be treated with respect and be treated equally. If you have security concerns check everyone that comes in. This ruined our experience and we won't be back. I even spent two extra days there doing scuba diving but in future I'll ensure a different dive centre is used so I don't have to deal with such people.

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.

Natale Calafiore

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!

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

Baubant kevin

old hotel, everything is broken or it doesn't work (oven, door, table, TV) the balcony doors that struggle to close. The cleaning lady who comes to wake you up every morning. No microwave in the kitchen. A sofa bed from the 50s. And on top of that they steal 800 euro bags. Hotel to avoid unless you have no money at all and you have no choice

Julian Kennedy

Near sea and store. Parking difficult. Food first class. Jacuzzi frothy and dirty! Pools small but nice. Young people at night noisy. Air-conditioning vital.

gavin lurcook

I am horrified that I am expected to pay to stay in these conditions. The apartment is horrific. Leaking taps broken furniture and smashed lamp shades. The pool is so small that it hardly qualifies and is surrounded by teenagers smoking weed. The food is poor, to say the least. The most talented chef of the lot is the toaster.

Let's go for a walk

The entrance was locked, and you have to go around to the Canifor hotel and wander through the whole place to get to your apartment, which was a minor nuisance. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was frankly run-down, with the kitchen tap falling off, mirror in the bedroom hung crooked, a cupboard door falling off and a toilet seat that didn't fit properly etc etc. Bedding was mildly stained and not comfortable, and towels didn't smell particularly fresh. Location is OK, I had a lovely sea view, and a short walk to the coast. There is a loud Irish pub across the road with live music every night, which for some will be great but not so much for me. If you're looking at this place, it's because it's cheap, and that's its main attraction. I don't regret staying here: the location was OKfor me (I hired a car to explore the island, and traffic and parking was decent here), however if you're looking to spend some time in the hotel this isn't the nicest place to stay.

Debbie Waters

I've been going to Malta every year for the last 12 years, 9 of them I have stayed here it's always clean and tidy the housekeeping staff come in every day make the bed, change the towels and clean the floor if needed. It's close to local shops, restaurants and the bus station, with a 10 minute walk (if you are able to) to the aquarium and the sea front

Rishi M

We really enjoyed our stay here. Best part of the hotel was great view so totally worth paying little extra to get the view, breakfast spread, location and swimming options accessible directly from the breakfast lobby. Rooms didn’t match and 4 star standards but rest all was good

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!

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.

Nicole Harrick

Room was great. The rest of the hotel felt like a budget package holiday. Pool area was dirty, food squashed into sun beds, breakfast - a good buffet breakfast but don’t ask for anything. It could do with some sound-isolation panels on the ceilings as it’s loud and echoes. Still a long way from a 4-star hotel. The location is great and the potential is there. Room cleaning staff were lovely. Reception/check in lacked a ‘welcome’ vibe. Maybe that’s how it is in Malta? I don’t think so though as everywhere else, service was warm and helpful.

Trish Doyle

Probably the worst stay i have had here. Get the positives out of the way.Great location, great value, fantastic breakfast, wonderful restaurant staff, reception staff frosty at times.The hotel is fine but i was on a floor from hell.The 2nd Floor with a full tour of teenagers. From the minute they entered the hotel they were loud. There was constant knocking on doors, banging doors shut, running up and down the corridors and blasting music as they walked/ran up and down the corridor in groups.I went to reception 3 different times on the 1st night.The manager was next to useless.He was more concerned about my room number than anything else.He asked me which room was i complaining about and i said all, as it was all of them.I was placed right in the centre of these.He proceeded to radio security and kept repeating my room number as complaining then he asked again which number is making noise and again i said all to which he started laughing and rhymed off all the numbers over the radio and said if it continues come back down.At 2am they were still knocking on doors and shouting.This continued for the entirity of my stay.I am so disappointed.The reservations manager should use some common sense when allocating rooms.I was a solo traveller placed in the middle of a nightmare. When i asked to change floors i was told not possible.I was happy to upgrade to whatever it was, just to get a decent sleep. For the next 3 nights i left the hotel at 6.30pm and did not return till after 1am hoping they would have tired themselves out and gone to sleep- but to no avail.Last night i again had to go out and ask them to quieten down, it was 2.15am. I now go home more tired than when i came.

As our stay draws to a close, I’d like to express my appreciation for the good service we received from the staff of db San Antonio Hotel and Spa. Although we experienced a few setback during check-in, we were impressed by the management's prompt attention to the matter and their dedication to delivering outstanding service. We'd like to personally thank Ms. Giovanna and Ms. Hadil for their outstanding professionalism and courtesy in resolving the issue. On the other hand, some of the staff needs more training in certain areas especially when dealing with hotel guests. Sometimes a lack of understanding on their part can lead to a misunderstanding. One example, is when we asked for limo service to the airport, they assumed that we are asking for a free shuttle whilst the other guest relation thought we wanted a “limousine to go the prom.” We were merely asking for assistance for transportation to the airport. Overall, we're thoroughly enjoying the location, service, and warm hospitality of the staff. Ms . Lucie at the front desk in particular, is to be commended for her friendliness and work ethic. While the hotel building may benefit from renovations, its price and amenities offer excellent value, making it a recommendable choice. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Malta and this hotel. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.

Sammie Preece

Me and my friend has a lovely week away. The San Antonio Hotel and spa was wonderful. The hotel was clean and the staff were amazing. The food and drink was also beautiful! We paid for all inclusive plus once here and was definitely worth the money. The bar tender Puskar in the all inclusive plus lounge was so attentive and friendly and he's such an asset to the hotel. The hotel is situated in a really good place for travelling and there's good access to local transport. The massages we received at the spa were really good.

stephany ojiaku

Lovely experience. The room could do with a bit of sprucing up, but otherwise, beautiful experience. They were able to upgrade my room when the love holiday app didn’t book us in. The meals were top tier. Especially loved the breakfast and Yushan restaurant. The view was extraordinary but bear in mind, it can’t be seen from the front of the building.

Walter Joseph Attard

Very good food, well prepared buffet and excellent staff service! On the bad side lifts are very slow when exiting venue with dozens of people going from floor to another and then car park exit is a disaster, if an emergency occurs you'd run through the barriers! On entering the premises we were assisted but exiting the premises took around 20 minutes as clients who didn't have card and wanted to pay cash had to block the parking, go up two floors, pay in cash and get back to the car! It's a disaster, please leave an attendant, next time I come, if I need to access exit fast, I'm just through the barriers God forbids an emergency! Management knows about it as car park users were too much frustrated! Don't get this comment as negative, it's just for you to improve your service! The rest was outstanding food quality 😊

Really enjoyed the stay at dB San Antonio. Location was great and the staff helpful and friendly. Beds comfortable and room had Aircon that just worked. The facilities were pretty good, and I really enjoyed the treatments in the spa that sorted out some muscle issues. The cafe was great for playing cards in the evening and the on site restaurants had a good selection of food. Site has a lot of space so would really like to see a games room or some more activities to keep us occupied in the evening. A couple of pool tables, pinball machines, table tennis or arcade machines would be nice. Only slight mishaps that prevented a 5 star were the bathroom flooded a couple of times as the basin outlet wasn't connected and the ceiling fan didn't work. Nothing major. Would go there 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.

There is not one good thing I can say about this hotel. Absolutely everything is far below average and this is a 4 star hotel. Absolutely everything is low budget, the hotel has a very unpleasant smell, the area around the pool on the beach is extremely neglected and unkempt. The first night when we arrived, we were given a room in which it was literally impossible to breathe because of the stench of dampness and mold. We immediately asked for a new one and the kind manageress gave us a new room because she also felt how unpleasant the smell was. But it wasn't great in the new one either. The room was looking at big bags full of trash from the hotel and some unfinished parts of the hotel too. It was constantly extremely noisy at night, there was a big stain and moisture damage on the ceiling in the bathroom, and we also had ants in the room (I read on the reviews that we were not the only ones who had problems with ants and moisture) . It's honestly a shame that a hotel like this has 4 stars, I've stayed in places with less stars and got everything as if I was in a hotel with 5. The spa is also below average, neglected, cables and electricity are sticking out above the sauna. The crowds at breakfast are huge and it's very unpleasant, and we were even out of season. Honestly, I recommend you to skip visiting this hotel, save your nerves and peace of mind.

Gerard

We spent 5 nights and really enjoyed it. Decor is a tiny bit dated (or has an old world feel). The staff are very good and it's great to be able to swim in the pool or sea. A short walk past the Triton fountain into Valetta makes the location very good. I think they offer a shuttle if you don't like the walk up the hill but we never used it so not sure of the details.

Ralph Berry

This hotel is in a tremendous location for visiting Valletta. Hotel itself is good, with comfortable rooms and beds. The pool area is excellent, with a large pool and also access to swim in the sea. Plenty of shaded areas and an attentive bar staff. The indoor bar areas and public areas are perfect for meeting or to grab a small meal and a drink. I wish the hotel had a good restaurant, but there are just basic small places to eat, not a formal restaurant. But that was okay as we walked into town where there are many good restaurants. So all in all, I can’t rave about the hotel, but also no real issues at all. If I was returning to Valletta, this is where I would stay.

Rob Miles

We had a fantastic stay here. Yes the rooms are showing their age a bit, but the location and the quality of the pool and other facilities more than make up for any shortcomings. There is always something going on, the indoor pool is wonderful for a dip in November and, as seasoned traveler I really appreciate a fridge in my room! Walking distance of the city centre and all the night life, its own sea access and pools and at a very affordable price if you keep a look out for their offers. Would we stay again? 100% Already checking their website : )

Ellie Heale

After booking to come, I saw numerous negative reviews of this hotel which made me quite skeptical. However, our stay on the whole was pleasant. The hotel is in a great location; it’s a 10 minute walk into Valletta (although there are a lot of steps) and we enjoyed numerous trips and dinners there throughout our holiday. Both the indoor and outdoor pools are lovely and there are always beds available to use. Rooms are air conned well and were cleaned to a high standard daily and staff were always pleasant and polite. However, there are certainly a few things which could be improved. Starting with the service - on the whole, the service was poor. Staff are very busy which makes me wonder if the hotel is understaffed; we had to ask numerous times for the same thing on several occasions, at breakfast no staff member approached to ask if we wanted tea or coffee - we had to go and ask them ourselves each day and one lunchtime, we waited around 20 minutes at the pool bar before our order was taken. One afternoon, my partner’s shorts also fell off our balcony onto the roof below; they were easy enough to collect via using another room’s balcony but we had to speak to reception four times before this was done. Another issue was around half of the umbrellas by the outdoor pool were broken meaning shade was limited, even though it was 30+ degree weather, plus the steps into the sea were extremely slippery; we witnessed two people fall on the same day and said to the staff they should put a sign up. Finally, the prices of drinks were ridiculous - €5 for one glass of Diet Coke, which was flat and tepid. The fizzy drinks from the pool bar are poured from large 2L bottles meaning they’ve gone flat and they aren’t kept in the fridge. On the whole I would stay here again, but for a 5* hotel there are definite improvements to be made.

Geoff Ellam

Very nice hotel with a couple of minor drawbacks. The first room we were offered smelled stale and damp so we were located to a better room which was much better. Room cleaning could have been better and I did find a couple of old fingernails on the carpet. Generally the staff were polite and helpful. The food buffet was excellent and reasonable value. Would I go there again?Yes for sure.

Kerri Sparrowe

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 good and reasonably priced! There is also a bar downstairs with live music and outside seating - 2 for 1 cocktails in happy hour! It wasn’t too busy (we went in October). You could have your room cleaned if you wanted. Location was great, a shop downstairs and close to restaurants and a beach. We got Bolt’s around which we’re not too expensive from where we were. The only downside was early morning noise from work being done on tiling outside our room. I do recommend staying here if you’re in Malta!

nevadakinky74

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.

Oliver Wickers

Excellent from start to finish. This was our first visit to the Luna hotel and we were very impressed with the whole experience. All staff are a true asset to the property, hotel is clean and functional, maintenance and condition upkeep is also great. We are a family who have worked in the hotel industry for many years and we found it very hard to find any fault with our stay. The hotel location is great and fully accessible to the public transport (bus service) where the bus stops right outside the hotel. I would highly recommend this property to any type of traveller (whether that be solo, couples or families) as most scenarios are very well catered for. We will definitely look forward to returning in the near future.

Beverley Charlton

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 for 25 euros unlimited travel anywhere, but if you don't want to do that, each ticket you buy on the bus lasts 2 hours or so at 2.50 euros. There's a few restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Our favourite was the Thai, which did take away too and Nora's pub. All in all, it's a fantastic hotel.

Kat Tipton

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 was out of season but we still got fabulous views and sunsets. The indoor pool we used which is next to the twilight bar. They do a takeaway service should you require anything after your day out. The mini mart is extremely handy too. All the staff including housekeeping were all friendly, helpful and so happy. Luna is located in Mellieha which is at the north of the island so a little further to travel to places but the public transport system is very cheap and frequent. There is a bus stop a few hundred yards away. The beach is down the road, local restaurants especially Noras! And there is even a little wildlife reserve down by the beach too. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Luna and obviously Malta in general. We will definitely be returning.

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.

Colin Edwards

Enjoyable stay, parking on site was interesting, even challenging! Parking outside the main entrance is restricted, so when they say you can park free on bays with white lines, not always! We had a lovely room with a balcony which turned out to be unusable because of the mostly day long pneumatic drilling on the construction site opposite. We were on the eighth floor, noisy at night, either lift noise or Hotel airconditioners I couldn’t figure out which. Great views though. Loads of restaurants nearby. Breakfast in the hotel was good and plentiful. Cocktail bar in the hotel was nice. Staff were great.

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.

Zack Severn

I have already written a review on trip advisor. But this hotel is absolutely amazing great location to a great atmosphere. Our room was so spacious and clean the rooftop pool was amazing nice and relaxing and provided with umbrellas. The breakfast was really tasty and a wide range of options. The gym was good aswell as the sauna. All the staff are so friendly especially the waitresses and waiters aswell as the cleaning staff who cleaned your room every day the rooms are nice and cool with air con. The rooms are so quiet and we got an upgrade too. Could not fault the hotel we loved it.

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.

Enjoyable stay, parking on site was interesting, even challenging! Parking outside the main entrance is restricted, so when they say you can park free on bays with white lines, not always! We had a lovely room with a balcony which turned out to be unusable because of the mostly day long pneumatic drilling on the construction site opposite. We were on the eighth floor, noisy at night, either lift noise or Hotel airconditioners I couldn’t figure out which. Great views though. Loads of restaurants nearby. Breakfast in the hotel was good and plentiful. Cocktail bar in the hotel was nice. Staff were great.

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.

I have already written a review on trip advisor. But this hotel is absolutely amazing great location to a great atmosphere. Our room was so spacious and clean the rooftop pool was amazing nice and relaxing and provided with umbrellas. The breakfast was really tasty and a wide range of options. The gym was good aswell as the sauna. All the staff are so friendly especially the waitresses and waiters aswell as the cleaning staff who cleaned your room every day the rooms are nice and cool with air con. The rooms are so quiet and we got an upgrade too. Could not fault the hotel we loved it.

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 this place- I would recommend it. This is because the experience was so good and above my expectations that the only way I can say thank them is by leaving this review.

Hotel staff were really helpful with everything. Every time we passed by the reception they greeted us with smiles on their faces. Lovely hotel. Food was nothing special, but not bad. Spa area needs some renovation, gym as well. We were here at Christmas time and I really loved decoration. Nice view from hotel room on the pool area.

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!

Nice hotel, with excellent friendly staff throughout. Good pool area, not much sun in November due to hotel layout. Breakfast ok and busy, coffee machines an issue, poor quality and often not working. Ample places to eat and drink nearby, Jesters across the road is a great little spot. Only downside for us was the room upgrade, paid extra for a terrace room, very little privacy, and no sun at all this time of the year. All in all, a pleasurable stay, all the staff were a pleasure from cleaners to manager's.

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 ☀️🌴

Beautiful rooftop pool and views. Nice bar and good music in the afternoons. Pool was freezing but felt refreshing in September heat. Also liked the loungers in the waterfall pool. Rooftop Drinks were reasonably priced and good selection of snacks. Didn't bother with the main Pool. Shops and restaurants within walking distance, found a nice cafe a few roads round the back and got snacks for our room. Cabs were reasonable through the Uber or bolt apps and not far into lively part if you want clubs bars and late restaurants or takeaways etc. Use Google maps to find. Good breakfast, comfortable rooms although walls were thin, had miserable neighbours complaining about us talking. Would stay again, good location.

Okay hotel, fairly outdated. Room is decent for what you’d expect but did have a funny smell and the sink plug was blocked and broke. Room service is basic, bedding wasn’t changed just made up, and they seem to find it difficult to provide fresh towels. Facilities in winter make it difficult to experience anything properly. Rooftop bar closed despite weather still being great. Indoor pool is small and not for kids since it’s more like a large jacuzzi, the ceiling of the indoor pool area is also FULL of mold. Spa treatment was good for the price and they had a 30% discount which was nice. The place is an absolute maze and each lift takes you to different a different location in the hotel, took us a good 2 out of the 4 days to find out what was where. Food was pretty good for an all inclusive, drinks were nothing special at all, 1 choice of beer and a wine, few standard cocktails but only in the bars. The main negative of this place is once you check out your all inclusive is revoked. You might not be travelling back for 6 hours but they make you pay for everything as soon as you check out so we decided to not have anything, been to many all inclusives over the years and every single one of them will let you use all the facilities until you leave the site. Staff were okay for the most part, one or two were rude but you get that anywhere in the world. The beach nearby isn’t actually a beach either, just a few rocks and then the sea, the area around at night is also very quiet and not a lot to do at all. Overall I’m sure this may be a solid place in the summer, but for people wanting a Christmas break it’s not 10/10 at all.

Having stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much I came back with my brother and sister in law. Very disappointed this time. Could not get clean towels even after requesting three times on two separate occasions. No tea bags and although requested again never got them. Was “not allowed” to take some from dining room told to go to reception. Tv not working for the week. Food nice but repetitive each evening the same. Reception staff abrupt and not helpful. Towels are old and dirty looking. Fingerprints on doors hadn’t been cleaned. Will definitely come back to Malta but not to this hotel. It’s a 3 star at the most.

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.

Vlad Malyshev

Soreda Hotel offers a wonderful stay with excellent service and comfortable accommodations. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the facilities, including the pool and dining options, are fantastic. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a holiday. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
