Malta Luxury Vacations

We had a brilliant stay at Palazzo Violetta. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, our room was lovely and clean and the pool area was great too. Good location, not too long a walk to restaurants etc and plenty of bus stops around the hotel. Would definitely recommend

Great hotel. Chose this because of facilities and location to beach. Can’t find a better hotel with such great beach access - spent most of our time there. Will come back again

Outstanding hotel - most staff excellent, rooms, pool, lounge all superb Breakfast is excellent in the lounge and main breakfast area, staff are really receptive with gluten-free toast and GF Maltese sausages cooked especially when not on the menu one day! The Atrio restaurant, unfortunately, fell well short of the hotel's top-level standards. There was a 90-minute wait for food, and when it eventually arrived, the pasta and steak were overcooked, the salmon steak was tiny and overcooked, and everything was certainly overpriced for what it was. Staff were too embarrassed to even apologise for the delays, many others in the restaurant were complaining - maybe it was a bad night?

Some staff were rude and hotel kept changing breakfast times and location.

The Hilton Malta is a strange one. The room was nice however the closed in balcony was very hot. You apparently have to request an open balcony on your reservation. The hotel itself is an oasis next to a very busy built up area. The few restaurants within walking distance are all very nice, however if you venture down into the harbour, expect the usual tourist trap of bad service and inflated prices. As for the hotel itself, it certainly has it's own quirks. The main pool is fine and there's no need for the crazy 7am dash for a sunbed, as the staff will always find you a sunbed and a parasol in the unlikely event of there not being one available. However the adult pools the sunbeds have cushions whilst the ones as the main pool don't - a quirk! We stayed in an Executive room on the 9h floor. It took 5 attempts and the intervention of customer services in the UK to fix the light on the balcony - not impressed! Breakfast in the Executive Lounge was disappointing. I told the Duty Manager on check out that they should consider putting an eggs chef into the Exec Lounge. The answer was that they had tried it, however with a bit of though, they could replace the underused second coffee machine with an eggs station. As a result I had breakfast most mornings in the busier main restaurant. Would I stay there again - I'm not sure to be honest. I would rate it as a 4.5 star as opposed to a 5 star. Good but could do better. Finally, 12 noon check out is too early for a late flight home.
