St. Julian's Hotels

Food menu was horrible and they tried to charge me for mini bar items upon check-out. I didn't even know there was a mini bar. .

Location, great view , comfortable room

Didn`t feel as luxurious as expected for 5 star hotel

Not enough pool. DIdn't like the area it was located near.

The staff were trying very hard to make up for the short comings from the hotel facilities.

The rooms had a smell of dampness and the location of the hotel was in the busiest night spot in Malta. You would probably enjoy this if you were a teenager, however at our age it was a bit too much to bear.

We liked the Sliema location. It was 10 minute walk to the ferry to Valletta with a steep walk back which we did not mind this at all. The food served in the bar restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced with excellent service. Very helpful staff. The hotel has an English atmosphere which we found charming. The shop in the hotel had an excellent range of gifts, also reasonably priced. Although this hotel is not on the waterfront, we had views of the water from our balcony. There are a lot of restaurants and pubs near the hotel. Also a very easy walk to St Julians where there are heaps of restaurants. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Malta, which we intend to do, as it is such an interesting place.

We found the airconditioning very warm, not only in our room but also in the bar.

The hotel staff made the stay pleasant. Enjoyed the lobby bar/restaurant with live piano undertainment in the evening.

The wardrobe facilities including the sauna by the indoor pool needs upgrading. The fact that it also is used by none hotel residents makes it to much public. Quite a few people were making their full morning toilet.

The staff and facilities at the hotel were excellent. Very clean hotel and helpful staff. The lounge bar with piano is gorgeous. Can't say anything negative about the hotel.

The professional staff, location & ambiance.

There was nothing we did not like.

The location is perfect. One thing that is important, is the free car parking for the quests of the hotel. But most we enjoyed the indoor pool and Spa. Very relaxing experience!

Large and quiet room, nice decor, location next to the bay. Very good Thai restaurant.

Poor quality of breakfast. Pooor quality of dinner in the main restaurant. Sheets were not changed daily. Very aggressive communication such as "you mustn't touch anything in the minibar or you will be charged a fortune". The hotel blocked 400eur on my credit card for two weeks.

amazing choice of breakfast! great location and nice pool area. Great being able to sit outside for a drink in the evening.

towels and bed a bit hard, decor old fashioned - could have made more use of fabulous position

The sea view of the room

Location in Sliema along the seaside promenade is very good.

The rooms definetely need renovation. Beds are bad, fitted carpet not fresh, same for furniture. Storage for clothes not enough.

The staff are great and informative. Rooms clean and quiet.

The staff, they were very nice and helpful. Food was also lovely in the Jest Restaurant.

Not much facilities, like gym or spa. There was a swimming pool however but didn't get a chance to use it

The lobby of the hotel is renvovated to look nice and welcoming, but when you arrive to the rooms the halls are dark and damp. Many of the floors smell like chlorine. I didn't find the staff very helpful or accommodating. Beware wifi is not free.

Nothing

Room was very small and service was not upto the star category of this hotel.

Courteous & efficient staff, great views across Sliema Creek to Valletta from the Sea View rooms.

The hotel is situated on a very noisy main road, traffic noise from 6am to midnight, sometimes later - don't try sleeping with the windows open. Non Sea View rooms only look into an internal courtyard, less noise but a bit claustrophobic. Public areas are fine but some rooms could do with a bit of a refresh before they could really be classed as 4 star. Buffet breakfast is fairly basic as well for 4 star.

very convenient location for buses & ferries to valletta & rest of island. plenty of cafes in walking distance on slema promenade. 2 twin bedroom large for europe.

rooftop pool small, unheated & not really inviting. air conditioner a little tempermental

good location close to the fairy area and on the bus route to the airport very nice traditional restaurants in the area

poor accommodation the room looked like wasn't rehabilitated since years - old furniture the overall conditions are meting the expectations for a maximum 2 stars hotel even thought was quite expensive

All was good - location, room, staff, food (bkfst only for us), TV, wifi.

Just one thing. We checked out at 1200 but were not leaving to airport until 1800, so we wanted to leave baggage there. There is no specific place - just one corner of the lobby area - but zero security. They don't even give baggage tags. So if your bag goes, you can do nothing. Either the hotel should stop accepting bags, or start a system to run this properly. We were lucky because we could take our bags - there was no way I could leave them with no security - but I presume most visitors would have no choice.

With the exception of a smell of smoking in the room this was a very clean confortable hotel 10 mins walk from Silema front. Breakfast offered a buffet style selection and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is not an ultra modern plastic building but one with character. There is a confortable lounge and sun deck, although not used.

The smell of cigarette smoking on first entry to room.

Quiet and close to restaurants and the sea.

The bread at breakfast. The supper was poor.

I had a great experience at the hotel, the room was great and the hotel is located really close to paceville. The staff seemed friendly and the hotel had a good homey environment.

Beds were comfortable, simple but adequate room and lovely staff. Hotel restaurant and staff were excellent - especially the downsatirs hotel restaurant.

nothing! dirty bed sheets, small poky room and rude staff

dirty bed sheets, small poky room and rude staff

The view and size of the room were terrific.

The staff could be more courteous for a 4 start hotel! The cleaning service was poor, the bathroom amenities were extremely poor. Overall it didn't feel like a 4 start hotel at all.

Absolutely loved it, would definately re visit

No

Sensitive conversion of lovely historic building Very spacious duplex room with ample space for reading, writing - feels very private - good location for a romantic escape - extensive covered balcony - great in summer Generous well-equipped bathroom Very quiet location in residential Sliema

Though equipped with 2 wide-screen TVs - reception was of poor quality Awkward relationship with sister Victoria Hotel - who run the Capua - separate building - when going to bar/ dining room/ use of pool - No B&B/half- board package available - unlike Victoria - upholstered furniture needs recovering (in our room but especially in dining room)

Everything was good. Closeness to everything and beautiful views over the sea and the st. Julian's bay.

Needs little updates in the bathroom , otherwise all good. :)

Location was amazing! A short walk to pretty much everything downtown. Conveniently adjacent to the lagoon for that early morning refreshing dip before breakfast. Loved it!

Service was a bit slow.

The view from the hotel was impressive. We stayed on the sixth floor. And of cause the location.

The breakfast buffet was extremely boring.

The reception staff were very helpful in terms of my questions, giving advice on how to go places around Malta.

The big problem for me was Internet access: I couldn't get the wi-fi access that was advertised on the top floor of the hotel and the card system was very expensive (ie 3 euros for 75 minutes, 2 euros for 20 minutes, but was never for the full amount, always less). Moreover, the location wasn't ideal for me, as I was in Malta for work and had to go back to the capital Valletta to go anywhere. Next time I'll stay in Valletta as the surrounding district of Sliema is pretty run-down and there's not much to do, ie. no real beaches or historical sites to visit.

location was very good,only a short walk/bus to the town centre.

very noisy,builders banging about early morning,toilet making lots of noise.bed not that comfortable.

Great View from balcony , convenient parking just outside the door , 5 min walk to shops and restaurants .

The room was very large and breakfast very rich. The position of the hotel very central.

The room was not well clean,hairs and foot prints were all over the floor. Toilet was very dirty...i'm sorry to say that they don't know the word clean. The sliding door for the veranda was broken, I asked twice to fix it but it had never been done. Very cold the staff at the reception.

Nice location. Near St.Julians. Bus in door

The location was perfect. Step out the front door and you are on the waterfront, 5 minutes from the ferry, and water excursions.

Good location. Easy access to all nice breakfast rooftop

Extremely noisy. Uncomfortable. Unwelcoming

Reception staff were very nice

Room stunk like cigarette smoke after cleaning.

It is nice and good hotel in excellent location near good night life area, the room is good and has more enough space, comfortable bed and good bathroom.

sometimes there are sounds from above as furniture movement.

The view from our balcony, pool area, local amenities and the early evening live music played from the foyer balcony

We were first shown a room at the front of the building, the balcony and view not as good as the room we moved to. To cater for all preferences it would be nice to have double rooms available at the front and back, and twin rooms available for business people front and back.

Location was very good. The poolarea was fantastic.

Amazing place, great staff, highly recommended

Might be slightly noisy

Yet another slightly shabby once-grande old dame to join the ranks of the nouveaux-pauvres. Overall, reasonable value for money, though certainly not 5-star quality. Perhaps 3-4 star. Items most in need of improvement - bedroom furniture (looks like Lady Stickland's origninal inventory is still in place, and rather the worse for wear) and the main restaurant - I've seen better standards in hospital canteens !! Still, beneath the "fading drapes and peeling paint" lurks some residual old world charm, which would not require a king's ransom to restore it to a semblance of its former glory. And should this happen one day, I would recommend a different interior designer - even the renovated rooms are gaudy rather than tasteful.

See above. Connie Francis and Patsy Kline blaring from the adjacent bus terminal.

The service

Difficult to find the hotel, especially by night
