Top Fort St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

The Capital Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is central and close to almost everything in Valletta. All the staff were very, kind, polite and helpful. The breakfast buffet included special breakfast orders and was delicious and a great start to the day."

115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. We enjoyed our holiday"

Barceló Fortina Malta

10/10 Excellent

"The only down side of our whole experience was the noise on the balcony created by inconsiderate motor cycles"

Hotel Pjazza Merkanti - Boutique Living

8/10 Good

"Lovely, boutique hotel. Well located. Very comfortable beds."

Melior Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff, location & breakfast were excellent. Nice rooms Hotel needs to improve comunicación pripr to arrival"

Palazzo Paolina Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A Fantastic location near all the Valletta sites. Quiet and peaceful but also near the good vibe. Lovely hotel staff who couldn't have helped more. A very nice buffet breakfast which set us up for the day. Room was very comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend"

Corinthia St George's Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Location is pretty good, close enough to either go on trips, explore Valletta and near restaurants, bars or those wanting more excitement Paceville a short walk. Be prepared for building work, it’s not horrendous, just a fair bit happening in St Julian’s and very nearby. Staff stand out at the hotel in every aspect, very friendly and service with a smile everywhere, including booking taxis. Hotel is 5 star which at night looks lovely, maybe like some reviews said a little dated in the daytime. Rooms are well serviced if a little dated again and Spa is great. Think over the 4 full days we stayed in an executive room, we visited the executive lounge for snacks early afternoon and drinks/nibbles every day; there was an Indian lady, I think Pria? Her smiling face, general conversation made it so lovely to go there. There’s more choice for breakfast in Fra Martino and we managed a table outside every morning. If you like sun bathing by pools, with bars at each it’s perfect, we preferred the Lido and still received an occasional drinks service, There is a small sandy beach though in the bay if you walk a few hundred metres, just expect it to be busy peak season. Debated whether to give it 4 or 5 stars not due to it needing refurbishing a bit, more down to the advertised sea view. My main negative it was a side sea view at best sat on the balcony of 517. The photo showing the sea view is standing up and turning 45 degrees, sat down it’s a nice view of car parks and housing hmmm"

The Embassy Valletta Hotel
