Hotels near Triq Santa Rita Steps, St Julian＇s

Okay overall,the details below are a quick reflection of a somewhat disappointing stay. The pros; Bright new hotel close to amenities, shops etc just around the corner. Comfortable bed and pillows. Friendly and efficient front desk staff. Water and ice machine on each floor. Good wi fi. The cons; The room was cramped with insufficient storage,we lived out of a suitcase for 5 days! Insufficient hanging and t& coffee, fridge right next to clothes. Not enough space for 2 people to access their clothes. One bedside table for 2 people where the USB charger is and insufficient sockets to charge phones, camera etc. No wall hooks to hang bags/ jackets,no place for shoes. Sound proofing wasn't sufficient,we had noisy neighbours who disturbed us for 3 Disappointing in a new hotel. Housekeeping left the balcony door unlocked every time we returned each day, leaving the room a security risk. Housekeeping moved and rearranged our personal toiletries mixing our toothbrush and razors. Housekeeping knocked off our tablet we had left charging and broke the usb charger lead,our tablet was also found with a small crack,this happened on the last day they entered and we didn't notice until after we checked out. Housekeeping switched off our fridge one day,and after a long day out on return we had warm beers! Room was hot,the AC is controlled centrally and switched off in the day,its not available until late. Housekeeping didn't close the curtains to help keep the room cool. Breakfast is the usual fare and they didn't offer anything outstanding. Whilst they attempted a 'special' each day it really wasn't special,eg croissant with spinach and cheese,and porridge! Specials should be Maltese and include the ingredients to inform in case of allergies, food wasn't labelled and even juices weren't always labelled we had to ask. The toaster wasn't always switched on,and staff were very slow to clear plates. It was under staffed at breakfast and by 8am looked dessimated with many messy tables not cleaned or cleared. Whilst we enjoyed Malta there are many hotels to choose from which are better priced,this hotel has so much training to undertake with their staff to improve standards it will take time. Our room didn't look anything like in the photos on this site. We used this as a base because its not the usual 4star Marriott,and didn't spend alot of time in the hotel.

ENG I don't know anything about this hotel but passing underneath, some boys threw water at us from the balcony, laughing, making videos of us [we are minors] and insulting us (for the hotel: I left some photos of the room, the one with the towels, day 14 July) MAL Saya tidak tahu apa-apa tentang hotel ini tetapi lewat di bawah, beberapa budak lelaki membaling air ke arah kami dari balkoni, ketawa, membuat video tentang kami [kami di bawah umur] dan menghina kami (untuk hotel: Saya meninggalkan beberapa gambar bilik atau yang bertuala, hari 14 Julai) ITA Non so nulla di questo hotel ma passando sotto, dei ragazzi ci hanno lanciato dell'acqua dal balcone, ridendo, facendoci dei filmati [siamo minorenni] e insultandoci (per l'hotel: ho lasciato delle foto della camera ovvero quella con gli asciugamani, giorno 14 luglio)

I changed my accommodation imminently and was worried because there weren't many reviews, but all the reviews were good, so I made a reservation. The room was remodeled, so it was very clean, the interior was nice, and the location was good 🚌 It was easy to ride, there were a variety of foods nearby, and it was good to see the supermarket and nearby attractions. :) Check-in was also better. Please do it early :) However, the bathroom exhaust fan is a little noisy, but it's really good for the price. I think it's because it's the off-season :)

The hotel has a perfect location. I will come back ,I loved it. However improvements are needed: Breakfast:Fruit juices are terribly diluted to make things worse served on 10Cl glasses. Better pastries would be welcome. Room needed repairs broken floortiles. Elevators have seen better days. A 4 E coke at the pool is rather extensive. But still I loved the hotel.

Returned 2 weeks ago after a wonderful week saying at The Palace Hotel. It took a long time to decide where to stay in Malta given the enormous choice and yet very mixed reviews, however I was really pleased we settled on The Palace. I did 1 less star for 'value', but this wasn't just in relation to The Palace as I thought generally hotel's in Malta were definitely on the pricier side. The room was lovely with the biggest bed I’ve ever seen and we had some lovely touches such as a daily visit from hospitality asking if we needed anything, and a bottle of filtered water changed daily. An excellent idea and far better than the frequent plastic bottles and subsequent waste. We also arrived on my husband’s birthday and quite unexpectedly in the evening, a lovely birthday cake was delivered to our room! From our initial greeting at reception with a lovely local drink and onwards, we had a brilliant service from every single member of staff. They were all very helpful and yet not intrusive. In particular lovely Puja in the wonderful TemptAsian’ restaurant, and Dhilip who served us both by the pool and at the ground floor Talk of the Town restaurant. Both were extremely knowledgeable and gave sound advice regarding choice of meals and suitable local wines. As we like to try local restaurants when we go away, we chose the bed and breakfast option however we were so impressed with the lovely rooftop TemptAsian restaurant we ate there twice. We then went for the buffet in the Talk of the Town restaurant on our last night, where we again had an excellent service from Dhilip, and where the food was well presented and excellent value for money. Sliema is a busy place with lots of hotels, and as other reviewers have stated, The Palace was within the centre of the peninsula, so although it wasn’t in the most picturesque road, given its proximity to all public transport, the ferry and bus stops including the ‘hop on/off’, we felt there was no necessity to hire a car. We did the short ferry over to Valletta many times and a bonus for us was a considerable ‘over 60’ concession. We managed to cram a lot in during our week in Malta from the numerous museums, tombs, caves and other historical places, in addition to exploration of the island on both the north and south hop on/off buses and brief trip to Gozo. I’m not sure we could not have done quite so much had we not been in such an ideal location. The other bonus was on the days we were back in time, having a swim in the gorgeous rooftop pool, and the Happy hour cocktails between 3 and 5 pm. Highly recommend this as a wonderful place to stay in Malta.

We’ve enjoyed the weekend at Urban Valley. We visited with our small dog. Upon arrival they made us feel welcome! Dream, our dog had his own bed, a bucket full of goodies also for him to enjoy! The manager, Adrian is very kind and professional in his work. We enjoyed the afternoon tea at bar area close to the reception, and we were served by Peter, another hotel gem! Welldone, we will surely re-visit! Breakfast was delicious and rooms very clean and neat! 10/10 👏Thankyou Adrian and all the Team

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

New structure, nothing to complain about. Service: EMPTY bar fridge, not even a bottle of water, non-existent bathroom courtesy kit ☹️ slippers not to mention. If they remain with this miserable policy, after having taken a Superior Sea View Room and paid a premium, I would expect some more service. Excellent breakfast.
