Hotels near Balluta Bay Beach, St Julian＇s

Starting with the information - we stayed at So City as a young couple (who arent particularly into nightclubs/bars) to see Matla for the first time over a week. I have given this a 'benefit-of-the-doubt' rating due to the hotel being incredibly new. We picked So City Hotel because of the value, it was incredibly well priced. I'd imagine this is a strategy due to it being so new but it was certainly well worth the price we paid. On to the hotel as a whole - I feel this is definitely aimed toward capturing people coming to Malta for some night life. Its positioned so that no more than 10 seconds from leaving the lobby, you can be in a bar, and their are some nice bars surrounding. That said, we werent there for that - but this location also meant that finding an evening meal, or a quick early night drink was incredibly easy. Exploring the island was also very easy from here, Valletta was a very short journey, and as we had opted to rent a car, there was a carpark about 5 minutes walk away (Pengardens) which is reasonably priced for over night parking, and we never struggled for a space. The room was very comfortable, and the mattress was perfect and bedding very soft and comfortable. Our upgraded room was also incredibly spacious. The theming is a nice touch and makes the room a bit more characterful and individual. Staying on the 7th floor, there was minimal noise at night, altough id be concerned if we needed to keep the window open.... The black out curtains were also amazing for keep the room dark for a little bit of extra sleep. Constructive criticism for the room would be: The shower tempurture is difficult - the hottest setting is insanely hot (my other half loves hot showers but this was too much for her also) and it wouldnt go cold, just cooler, it also seemed to get colder through out the shower and you found yourself adjusting. There is not a lot of storage at all for longer stays. This is perhaps a by product of it feeling aimed towards 'nightlifers' who might stop 3 nights or so. I would perhaps ask reception for additional hangers if you have plenty of clothes for a longer stay. The mini fridge, altough useful, is not big enough to put larger water bottles in, which can be annoying. The aircon unit is situated in a place which means it blows directly at the bed. I tried to play with the control but there was no way to adjust it that I could find. Im trying to cool the room, not refridgerate myself. The timer on the aircon also didnt seem to work, so setting it the blow for 30 mins whilst i went to sleep just didnt seem to work. The TV is not a full smartTV which is a shame. Just channels and an internet browser, which are never nice to navigate around.... On to other notes: Breakfast is just what you need. Its not an all out buffett where there is everything you could dream of, but there is more than enough and a few items cycle so you can expect a slightly different breakfast each morning. Constructive criticism for bre

Excellent property with great location, extremely clean and comfortable, super friendly staff. Teo was extraordinary! He was a true example of excellent hospitality. He made our trip more exciting in Malta by guiding and giving us tips about the city and the attractions to cover in 72 hours. He made sure that everything was arranged for us accordingly. I couldn't thank him enough for the excellent level of service he had rendered. We will surely visit H Hotel on our next holiday and expect that will recommend your hotel to our family and friends.

Really lovely hotel. Clean. Great location. Close enough to all the great attractions and shops but far enough from all the noise so you still get a great night's sleep. Fantastic service from everyone at Hyatt from the receptionists (Ben and I didn't get the name of the lady who worked with him but I think it may have been Laura?) to the doorman Hoque. Would highly recommend. PS lovely sunset from the 11th floor where the pool is

I was very happy that they treated me kindly and courteously without showing any dislike at all, even though my understanding of English was not good at all.

The hotels in Malta are not very large because they are close to the city and close to the sea. Open the window is still, opposite the old town of Valletta. It is more convenient to buy things around, and it is also very close to the station. There are many old small streets behind the hotel, which are quite flavorful. If there are no special requirements for facilities and five-star level, it is recommended to live. In addition, the service staff was very enthusiastic and renewed for 3 nights.

We arrived before check in, so we dropped our bags off and had a quick freshen up. First impressions weren’t brilliant, very dirty reception area/toilet due to workmen in the hotel. We went for lunch whilst we waited for the room to be ready. (The location is great) Check in was on time and the room itself was nice and clean. The main issue we faced is that the hotel is half finished, half of it is a literal building site (bare brick/no floors) and if you take the stairs to have to walk through it all. There is one lift, which is used a lot by the work men therefore is filthy and patched up with cardboard and tape. Each morning we were woken up at 7am by extremely loud banging/drilling vibrating the room. So loud that the TV didn’t even mask the sound. I believe no work should start til at least 9am when guests are present. I would imagine once the works are finished it would be a brilliant hotel and good value for money. It’s just a shame we weren’t made aware of this beforehand.

We stayed here for a last minute break away for our anniversary. When we got dropped off the location was in a busy street late at night on a Saturday. When we arrived at the hotel we were expected being the last arrival of the day. Check in was very efficient and the reception doubled up as a bar. The room was very spacious and very clean, with a nice big double bed, ac, TV, safe, kettle, fridge and storage. The balcony was street facing which was small but enough for 2 and ideal for the hubby who smokes. The bathroom was again very spacious and very clean we had a nice walk in shower and the water pressure was also very good. We realised in the morning we were in the midst of a town with lots of construction but the noise could not be heard if the windows were shut. Due to this the AC was needed which is the only thing I can fault. Due to this being controlled by a panel on the wall by the entrance but no remote was available to control therefore had a disturbed sleep to change temp or switch on or off.

We booked a birthday vacation at the AC hotel St Julian's Marriott. It is an easy 15 minute drive from the airport, has free parking for guests and a nicely stocked breakfast. The rooms are very large with small balconies that face into town. If you crank your neck you can see the ocean from your balcony but in no way is it an ocean view. The balcony is narrow, with just enough room for a small table and two chairs but is perfect for two people to have morning coffee. The room has a water kettle and Nespresso machine with all the necessary pods, tea bags, and sugar for your morning or evening coffee fix. The bed is comfortable with a large smart TV that allows for screen casting to stream from your smartphone. It also has a wide variety of cable channels in various languages. The breakfast is nice, with both hot and cold items available. The hot items could have been a bit warmer, as the trays cool down quickly but overall we enjoyed the breakfast. It is a newer hotel and staff are lovely and very accommodating. The bar offers happy hour and is limited on liquor available. The bartenders don't seem to be as experienced as one would expect. We ordered mimosas to compliment our breakfast and each day received a ”version” of a mimosa that was different than the previous day. It was funny to us and just added to the day but for others might be annoying to not get what was ordered. The rooftop pool was nice, temperature was warm but not hot. The décor could use some sprucing as it seems they have furniture that wasn't out because it wasn't ”in season.” If the pool is heated and open year round, then the furniture should remain the same regardless of the season. We wish the rooftop pool remained open later into the evening. Overall it was a pleasant stay, staff are friendly and accommodating and rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is right off the main ***** of St Julian's, so not a lot of noise from crowds, but there is construction all around so there is noise during the work week.

Stayed for 7 nights in a deluxe room on 10th floor. Check in was easy and very efficient. Room was large with a decent balcony. Bathroom had separate shower and bath. Not very many electric points and no USB charging points. Overall the room was good but in need of modernising. We had an issue with knocking from the water pipes ( not in our room) for our whole stay. Breakfast was plentiful, but limited options for vegetarian and even less for vegan choice. Pool area was great, with lots of loungers and shaded areas. Staffing at the pool bar seemed to be a bit hit or miss, one day 6 staff, the next day 2. Service at the hotel bar was also an issue on a few occaisions, mainly when there were conference groups. The location of the hotel was great, but not for those who would struggle with stairs. Overall great location, but faded granduer and some staffing issues
