The property was great, very central in St Paul’s Bay. The staff were always friendly when I needed them. The cleaning lady especially as one day my door hadn’t locked properly and she informed me as soon as.
Hotel is not what is shown on webpage. Room was clean, nicely decorated, cool, comfortable. Mini fridge a bonus for storing some provisions. Balcony great to enjoy a glass of wine before heading out.
The room needs more interior lighting, the beds are poor quality, as are the pillows. As for cleanliness, we saw cockroaches, cobwebs, and hair (not ours). The only positive aspects are the location and the friendliness of the staff.

Enjoyable staff, staff very friendly and helpful. A couple of things that could improve the hotel. One there is no where to hang the towels and two the tea is awful, cheap tea bags.

This hotel is at good location.Everything is easy accessible.The place is really amazing.There is so many nearby beautiful places where you can visit and enjoy your trip..About the hotel the air conditioning is not working at all and water leaking from air conditioning and it was In pathetic condition .The room was having very deam lights .Staff is very helpful.
I recently stayed at this hotel, which boasts an excellent location. Despite accidentally booking a room without a balcony, I found the accommodations to be satisfactory. The housekeeping service was exceptional, with the staff member responsible for cleaning my room being particularly friendly and helpful. The reception staff were also outstanding, consistently providing assistance whenever needed. I would not hesitate to book here again.
Lovely cleaning and breakfast staff. Nice breakfast selection (cereal, yoghurt, full English etc). Lovely small pool at the rooftop area. Found the hotel to be good value and very central. The internal shaft room is very basic and a bit smelly though so nothing fancy, only a room to crash in after a full day. Rooms have no key card but code access, which was practical.
Really helpful staff. Roof pool only a small 1metre deep 3 by 3 metre roughly cooling off pool. My room on 3rd floor air conditioned with nice balcony, clean well serviced. Breakfast self service, adequate, not outstanding but ok.

The staff was very kind, the rooms are good for the price, nothing outstanding but convenient. The breakfast was the same everyday, very standard, clean overall, check out late. It was a construction around it, all of the good but disturbing in the morning and the surrounders are great. Bar, restaurants, the beach, for running, easy transport, including for a direct bus to the airport and for packages to go to the islands are around it. Make sure to find the right one.
This is a well situated hotel in St Paul's Bay close to the sea and within easy reach of local transport and with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Check in was quick and easy with helpful advice from the receptionists. Rooms are fairly spacious with a large screen TV, kettle, fridge that are well maintained and cleaned daily. The hotel has a nice rooftop sun deck with a small 1 metre depth pool on the 7th floor. Snacks and drinks are available from coin operated vending machines at reasonable prices in the sun deck but reception snacks and drinks are ultra expensive. A good standard of accommodation for the price.

Visited Malta with my boyfriend and decided St. Paul’s Bay was a good location to stay in! The hotel is disabilty friendly with a ramp and lift. They also sell snacks and drinks, as well as a free water fountain where you can refill your bottle! Also is connected to a barber shop and cafe if you need a haircut, coffee, or a scoop of ice cream. Great location for nightlife, loads of great bars and clubs, near Cafe Del Mar, many tourist shops, the national aquarium, etc.
As far as the room, you really get what to pay for. The beds were a bit uncomfortable and at one point the cleaners had changed our white pillowcases to Jurassic Park and Paw Patrol cases, which we thought was so silly. Reception was really informative and kind. The rooftop pool was small and not very nice to share with other guests, but scenic, and does the job when you want to sunbathe. I certainly loved my stay and appreciate that I was able to stay in affordable accommodation.
read before i went that a few would rate this 4 star and others think the 3 stars is right for the offerring but really would not take much to be 100% deserving of the 4 stars with a little expenditure.
