"I was disappointed with my stay at this accommodation and unfortunately cannot recommend it based on my experience. There was no TV or Wi-Fi available for the entire duration of my stay, which was very inconvenient and did not meet my expectations for the accommodation advertised. Communication was also poor. It was difficult to get clear and timely responses when I needed assistance, which made the experience more frustrating. Although I understand that problems can sometimes occur, I would...

Top Malta National Aquarium Hotel Reviews

AX ODYCY Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed here multiple times when I visit Malta and have always enjoyed my visits. I shall continue to return ."

Salini Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a week while exploring Malta, and the entire experience was fantastic! From the reception and the room to the pool, everything was excellent. The location was perfect for us. We wanted to stay away from the busy city centre while still having easy access to all parts of the island. The breakfast was another highlight, with a great variety of options, all fresh and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a vacation in Malta!"

Best Western Premier Malta

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay - couldn’t fault any of it"

Mayflower Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night before heading elsewhere on the island. Very happy with our stay. Staff friendly. Room more than adequate. Would recommend"

DoubleTree by Hilton Malta

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean and the staff are really pleasant and helpful. The housekeepers are really good and always made sure that the room was well stocked with toiletries and teas and coffees. Donna in Ombre Cafe was amazing and welcoming. The only negative is the evening entertainment is very poor, and that really needs to be improved."

Seaview Hotel Malta - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel views from roof, pool and rooms to die for!! Great value."

Canifor Hotel

8/10 Good

"The 2 weeks l stayed were good clean towels every day clean room,breakfast was great ."

Il Palazzin Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a few streets back from the main Qawra tourist areas. The Reception area was quite dark. On approaching the hotel there's no signage to indicate where the reception desk is (on you left behind you as you walk in) I mentioned it being dark and they put a few lights on but it was still gloomy. The hotel needs modernising. It doesn't look like much has changed since it was built The room was clean the bed comfortable. There wasn't any bottled water in the room, most 4 star hotels in Malta give you a free bottle of still water. The supplied toiletries on the room were a decent quality. The toilet was so close to the wall, bigger people need to sit to the side. There were 2 unidentified red stains on the bed. Didn't look like blood. Despite our room being close to the lifts we didn't hear noise. maybe a little bit from the street outside. The indoor and outdoor pools looked ok if a little bit small. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Coffee and Scrambled eggs were great, but everything else was bad. I'd suggest going room only and going out for breakfast. There is a lack of signage. no sign pointing to reception, the indoor pool, the bar or the dining area. £85 for 1 night in late September 2026 isn't too bad for a 4 star hotel in Malta. I don't think you'd be disappointed, but there are better places to stay"
