The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The rooms are impeccably clean, with every detail attended to. The breakfast is a true highlight – a spectacular spread with a wide variety of proteins, fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, and juices, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Special mention goes to Michael at reception, who goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. His attentiveness and genuine care for guests truly stand out. We will definitely be returning – highly recommended!

The hotel is spic and span. Close to main street but away from any noise. The view from the room is amazing. Lights in the room are dull and especially you feel it in the evening and if you have a kid along. Breakfast spread is commendable and tasty local delicacies too available. Gym is functional although in a small room. Management does an effort to make your stay comfortable. Check in and housekeeping staff are always smiling and helpful.

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

We spent 5 days here first of all the young receptionist was nice and helpful and the male cleaner is far better at his job than the female one. The hotel is a total let down at the very most it's a 3 star but to be fair a good enough breakfast buffet. I won't make a long story out of it here are the points. Dark dim room lights crazy dark Air-conditioning that you have limited control over Slow elevators Cold indoor pool Locked changing rooms and showers Poor temperature shower and water flow in bedrooms we had two rooms. No English TV channels only news Water not for consumption in rooms water should be provided if that is the case The safe had a low batter warning so you could not chance using it Main entrance revolving door does not work automatically not a problem for me but some older people had a slight struggle with it All in all most problems appear to be self inflicted or managed poorly this place could be a awful lot better with very little effort

I recently stayed at the Cavalieri Art Hotel, and overall, the experience was decent, but there were a few letdowns. The location and views are fantastic, and the staff were polite and helpful throughout my stay. However, there are areas where improvement is needed. Firstly, the air conditioning in the room was a major inconvenience. It’s centrally controlled, so you can’t adjust it to your preference, which made the room less comfortable at times. Additionally, the soundproofing was disappointing—you could clearly hear conversations and noise from the hallway, which disrupted the peace and quiet I was expecting. Finally, the lifts were very slow, which became frustrating, especially during busy hours. If these issues were addressed, the hotel would be much more enjoyable. It’s a good place to stay for the location, but there’s room for improvement in the comfort and amenities offered.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, and there were many positive aspects worth highlighting. The location is excellent, close to the bay and conveniently near bus stops, making it easy to explore the area. One of the highlights was the stunning view from the rooftop, offering a breathtaking panorama of the city and the bay – truly unforgettable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to answer any questions or provide assistance. The service was also exceptional; shortly after check-in, we received a call from reception to ensure everything was satisfactory, which was a thoughtful touch. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, with rooms being cleaned regularly to maintain a high standard. However, there were a few downsides. The walls were quite thin, and noise from other guests could be heard at times, which impacted the overall comfort. Additionally, while the breakfasts were delicious, the menu remained the same each day, which might not suit those staying for a longer period. Overall, this hotel offers a great experience, especially for its location, views, and attentive service. If the noise insulation and breakfast variety were improved, it would be perfect!

I stayed at the hotel for two nights with breakfast, and everything was perfect. The service was amazing, the breakfast was rich and varied, and the entire hotel was impeccably clean. My room had everything I needed, and the staff were friendly and always smiling. However, a big downside was the unheated rooftop pool, which is unacceptable during the winter season.

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.

Had a great last minute trip to Malta. Price was extremely reasonable for the hotel which included breakfast. Quite a new hotel and very well presented. Room was large and comfy, and the bathroom was also big and clean and the shower especially was amazing. Room had a balcony and good air conditioning. Breakfast was excellent, I was off season but it was still well stocked and not busy. The pool on the roof is also a great bonus, not heated so in the winter months might not use it much but very refreshing when the sun is out and even without going in the pool it’s a great area to chill out and enjoy a drink (order and they bring it up to you). Generally all great and was totally stress free, staff were excellent and very attentive. They even managed to work out my birthday fell within the stay and left a card and small gift in the room! 2 of the most minor bad points are that my fridge initially didn’t work but this was fixed whilst I was out during the day, and there is construction happening on surrounding buildings so depending which way your room faces there might be some noise during the day. But this isn’t the hotel’s fault and rooms are still generally quiet and private. Will certainly be looking here first when coming to visit again. Hotel is very close many restaurants and everything in St Julian’s which and end of the street is a bus stop with buses to Valletta every 5-10 mins so all super convenient. A Bolt taxi back from Valletta was about €12 in the evenings I found.

The service was attentive and professional, and the room was both well-appointed and comfortable. The rooftop pool was a fantastic feature, offering a perfect place to relax with a great view. The breakfast was simply perfect, with plenty of delicious options. Plus, the location was ideal for easy access to nearby attractions. A truly memorable stay! Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars! Absolutely brilliant stay at The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta. We stayed there for 1 week on the Christmas break and had a great time. The check-in was very smooth. We had to wait for a few hours before we could get our room but we relaxed in the large lobby. The rooms were spacious, clean and well furnished. The two double bed sea-view rooms had a proper sea view with a sizeable balcony to relax on. The breakfast was amazing. Great selection and a very good staff. We used the indoor pool, steam and sauna rooms which were all clean, well-kept and well-maintained. The lobby was very busy due to the Christmas season but the hotel is large enough to handle that. Overall an amazing stay. Thank you to The Westin Dragonara team. We will definitely return next year.

I had an incredible experience here with my wife. The Operations Executive, Sunny was very friendly and he ensured our stay was nothing but perfect. He even went the extra mile to get us upgraded to a suite room and give me a surprise birthday celebration. The other staff are also very friendly. They are well aware of halal food in the hotel and advised us on which foods are halal and which are not. As a Titanium Elite member, I am delighted with their great hospitality.

I booked this hotel for my mum and dad and they had the absolute best time here. It was my dad's birthday and the staff, before they arrived and during the stay made it very special for him. The breakfast every morning was delicious and plentiful! The room was massive with very comfortable beds. The hotel and their grounds are well kept and lovely to be in. They really loved their stay and that's thanks to the staff and the accuracy of the description of the hotel. Thank you so making it really great for them!

We were there for a family holiday and enjoying a great stay. Everything was fine - from checkin to checkout. Our room was perfect - we stayed at a Suite with sea-view; very nice and super clean. The staff of the hotel was doing a great job and we always had somebody at our service when needed. Friendly and very discrete. The kids felt like home and the heated pool was great as well as the sea. Breakfast was outstanding! Great thanks to the whole team of the Westin for the perfect time we spent there - we'll come back for sure!

Loved our winter stay at the end of October/early November. The staff are fabulous in every area of the hotel. The fact they could also easily accommodate our gluten intolerance was brilliant. It was delightful to dip in the sea & use the pools. The breakfast was very extensive & very good. Definitely be coming back for some winter sun next year.

Unsafe, Filthy, and Uninhabitable – The Worst Hotel Experience This hotel is in desperate need of repair and is completely unsafe. Both the room door and the balcony door didn’t lock, leaving us feeling extremely vulnerable. The bathroom had an overpowering stench of human waste and sewage, which made members of our group physically ill—some even threw up from the smell. We were supposed to stay for two nights but could barely manage to stay for 12 hours before leaving. The conditions were so bad that we physically couldn’t stay there any longer. Despite this, the hotel manager refused to give us a refund, even though we didn’t get a proper night’s sleep due to the awful conditions and loud music blaring until 3 or 4 a.m. The staff were not only unhelpful but downright rude, offering no support when we complained about the state of the room. When I contacted Booking.com for assistance, they too were unwilling to offer a refund. I spent over an hour on the phone with a manager who patronizingly told me to “calm down,” insisting they didn’t see an issue. To top it all off, the facility was filthy, with ants crawling all over the bathroom and other areas. The unsanitary conditions and lack of cleanliness were shocking. This hotel is absolutely not suitable for families or anyone else. I wouldn’t recommend it under any circumstances—it’s by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Positives: excellent location, kind and helpful staff Negatives: the rooms were really dirty, there was mold on the ceiling and literal ants walking in the bathroom. Also, there was no sound proof so it gets really loud with all the clubs and bars next to it. Plus the internet service was awful, we practically had no internet and constantly had to use our data which was inconvenient. It honestly looks nothing like the photos and it's only worth it if you're staying only for 1-2 days.

We went a day by the pool, we enjoyed it, the pools are nice and clean . For the cheap price you pay its good even the food , basic but good and staff served us with a smile. The place is quite old and needs renovation but its good to have places like this as not everyone want to pay high prices. It is very well located for young people with low budget who want to be near discos , restaurants and walking distance fun. Thanks for a good Sunday :) 🧡

You get what you get. For the price of it, it's good. The front desk staff are very welcoming and provide you with ample information. The rooms are decent, along with the beds and pillows. Didn't have trouble sleeping even though we're right next to a very busy street. The breakfast was also decent. The eggs weren't too good, but the rest of the food was ok. There's not too much to pick from. Now, the bathroom was the worst part, horrible smell, cockroaches in the tub, dirty floor, and slimy walls. The smell of the bathroom was enough to make you wanna leave. But besides that, it's was ok. The best part, by far, is the pool area. Makes you think if you're actually in the same hotel.

I booked a room at this hotel for a week because it was a good price and only saw the reviews later. I was very scared when I went, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a 3-star hotel that met my expectations with a comfortable bed and hot shower. I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews if the price is good and the location is excellent. If you want luxury, you should book somewhere else.
