Nothing to dislike

Near a party hostel.

Great location. Clean and amazing staff!! Good breakfast The street is not the best looking one. There’s a bar in the corner that can be a bit loud, but nothing major. The issue now, is there’s a new hotel construction right beside it, so they are starting to drill and make a lot of noise….my bed was shaking!! If you’re not in your room all day might be fine, but they start very early (before 8am)

Everything was good. Free coffee 24/7

All very clean. Great friendly staff.

Central location, friendly staff. Breakfast is not the greatest, but not the worst, savoury and sweet options (cook unfortunately doesn’t have a clue on how to cook bacon). Nearby shops opened late at night if you need water or snacks. Bedroom doors are not soundproof. No chair, stool, or bench in bedroom. No bottle of water offered in the rooms. Not exactly the hotel’s fault but they could do their part in bringing this horrible street and dirty neighborhood of Saint Julian’s into something a bit more welcoming, I’ve seen dirty places in my life, but here nobody gives. At night the whole street is filled with bar hopping and partying youngsters, the next day there’s trash and broken glass around the hotel.

I stayed here for 6 nights and overall had a great experience. The hotel is very good and the staff are extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised that they allowed me to check in early without me even requesting it — they noticed I was arriving ahead of schedule and accommodated me right away, which was amazing. My room was comfortable and cleaned daily, which I really appreciated. The breakfast was tasty and good quality, but the selection was exactly the same every day — after 5 days it felt repetitive. The pool and gym are both small, but perfectly fine for a quick swim or workout. Location-wise, St. Julian’s is convenient for exploring Malta, but it’s worth noting that this area is popular with young partygoers. At night, the surrounding streets can be noisy, dirty, and sometimes smell of urine — of course, this is not the hotel’s fault, but something I wish I had known before booking. Inside the hotel, the walls are quite thin, so you can sometimes hear other guests in the corridor or if they play loud music. As the area attracts many young visitors, this can mean being woken up late at night or early in the morning when people return from parties. There were also a couple of small downsides in my room: occasionally (about 5 times during my stay) there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and the towels had a slightly bad odour, as if washed together with other laundry. All these points are relatively minor, but they do explain why I’m rating it 9/10 instead of a perfect score. With a few small improvements, it could easily be a 10/10 stay — as everything else, especially the service, was excellent.

The cleanliness, location, friendly staff, very close to various restaurants, pubs, shopping malls, swimming spots and public transport. I stayed in the junior suite, it was spacious, clean, with 2 big bathrooms, towels were changed regularly, at night it was quiet and staff was very helpful. I would especially like to thank Larkin and Vanesa. Taking the cab from the hotel to various locations was also very convenient. I would definitely come back to this hotel.

Nice hotel, good location, very clean

Superb

Great service, great location and great utilities. We regret missing the breakfast the last day because our flight was early. Definitely recommend!

The staff working there was incredibly helpful and very kind. The location was okay, the hotel could’ve a better insulation. You hear almost everything at night. Also, something that surprised me was the fee for a pet. I informed the hotel before that I will come with a cat and they replied politely that they are happy to welcome us both. No fees were mentioned. On spot I had to pay 25€ per night for the pet. It’s okay but it would be nicer to inform that in advance.
