The hotel has a few good sides, but overall the negatives outweigh them. The location is great, with plenty of good restaurants just around the corner. The gym is surprisingly well equipped and the rooftop pool has a nice view. Unfortunately, the atmosphere there feels more like a party than a place to relax, even if there is a separate adults-only area.
The rooms are very noisy. In the morning you hear chairs moving and your neighbors, and in the evening the music from the pool carries on until late. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this hotel is the wrong choice. Housekeeping is unreliable and often either skips the room completely or shows up very late in the afternoon when you are already back.
My experience with the staff was mixed. Some were friendly, others seemed annoyed. What really stood out in a bad way was the parking garage. The staff there was rude, and you are forced to hand over your car key without being given any explanation why.
In the end, the hotel does have a good gym, a nice rooftop area and a central location, but the noise, unreliable cleaning service and poor staff attitude ruin the stay. For the price charged it is not worth it. Not recommended

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL !!!!!
Where do i start, from the absolute nose stinging smell or the room that was located in the basement with 2 small windows with basically no view (picture down below). When we first arrived we checked in at around 11 am, even though the check in was at 3 pm. That really surprised us because we just wanted to leave the bags in the baggage room and come back at 3pm. After the check in we were sent into the -1 floor. We were really confused because I have never ever seen a hotel that has rooms in the -1 floor. As soon as we entered that room it smelled like someone dropped a chemical bomb in there. I mean the whole hotel has a weird smell but that room was just insane, like insect spray or something. It was so bad that we decided to go to the reception and ask for another room because we literally couldn't breathe anymore in that room.
She told us that it was the cleaning that created that smell and that we booked a room with "no view". Yes we did book a room with no view but what do you understand by no view. In the booking app they had the curtains closed so you couldn't see how big the windows are, nice trap. If they had shown the curtains open, we would've booked a different room but we thought okay, no view, guess we'll just have no view right? RIGHT? That is beyond no view, i mean to just have regular windows is too much to ask for this 4 star hotel?? And of course if u dont like the room you can pay an upgrade for just 360€. So i already paid 1800€ for this prison cell and to have bigger windows and a balcony you want me to pay even more?? She also offered us another room that we wouldn't have to pay for. Going to the -3 floor and seeing that they have rooms that far down the surface was just hilarious at this point. That room had no windows at all and smelled the same so we instantly said no.
After waiting in the lobby till 3pm, she said the smell will go away from that room, we went back in that room and guess what its still there. We decided to stay in that room and open the window so that funky smell could go away. First night in that room we kept the windows open, at around 7 am you can hear cars and construction work so you won't sleep good at all. Since the window is literally next to a sidewalk you can also hear people walk and talk. Keeping the windows open so that smell could go away also came along with 1000 mosquitoe bites every night, like honestly 1000. The room has very thin walls so you could hear everything outside, every door slamming. They had 2 rooftop pools one of them was for children and the other one was so small u can not swim, nice view but thats about it. The indoor pool was way too cold its supposed to be a spa. They say that the beach is a 10 minute walk away, its more like a 30 minute walk away. The gym was okay it had a smith machine, 2 cable towers some treadmills and a bench with dumbbells up to 24 kgs.
All in all i will never come back and i advise everyone to stay away.

I had a wonderful stay at the Solana Hotel in Malta. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were clean, modern, and well equipped, providing great comfort after long days of exploring the island. The rooftop pool and bar offered stunning views, especially at sunset, making it a perfect spot to relax. Breakfast was varied and delicious, with plenty of choices to suit different tastes. The hotel’s location in Mellieħa was ideal, close to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Overall, an excellent experience and highly recommended for any traveler.

Great place to stay. We stayed on room 1411, which didn't have the best overlooking view, but it was decent enough with partial views over adjacent property/ hotels in the distance. Staff were all very helpful, friendly and polite... From managers down to room cleaners, everyone very pleasant. Nice food served "buffet style" (we did half board) so breakfast and dinner tasted great for us. I would definitely recommend this hotel in Mellieha as it's quiet for such a big hotel.... No noise issues from traffic and rooms seem sound proofed very well.

Beautiful hotel in a great location near shops and restaurants and a quick ride or 20 min walk to the beach. Our room (luxury suite) was a good size with a nice balcony. The bathroom was set up a little weird though (galley style with no shower door). We also got a massage in the spa which was very nice. However, our biggest issues had to do with towels. Especially the blue beach towels that they do not give you new ones during your stay unless you want to pay 5 euros each. For a “luxury” 4 star hotel, that isn’t the experience we hoped for. We’re traveling for vacation and aren’t packing towels in our suitcase to use at the hotel. You should be able to get new pool towels every day if you want. The management hides behind the whole save the environment and climate change guise but if I want to take 3 showers per day and ask for 3 bath towels they will give you that. Plus if you put a shower door in then water won’t go all over the bathroom floor requiring even more towels to be used. So silly. Also whenever you ask for anything at the front desk (including towels) they have to type into their computer for 5 minutes like you’re booking an airline reservation in 1990. Makes no sense. We also had to ask for more toilet paper and additional bath towels after they serviced the room. This should have been done correctly when they came. My wife also didn’t like the pillows as they were too hard but I was ok with them. She was also told that you can’t charge anything to the room but rather you have to go to the front desk and place a deposit on your account. That’s ridiculous. You can pay with a credit card though. Lastly, while the room was clean, it would be nice if they mopped the floors in the room after each guest. Our feet were filthy after walking barefoot in the room.
