Malta Hotels

Isolated Radisson SAS Golden Sands Malta

Advantages: New, Spacious
Disadvantages: Out of the way, expensive, no facilities

...from a week in the Radisson Golden Sands Hotel (October 2007). The Hotel and Rooms are clean and spacious, however beds especially the sofa beds are every uncomfortable. The food is very expensive and unfortunately is nothing special. Good view overlooking the small beach, and good outdoor swimming pools. Bring your walking boots as the hotel is miles from anywhere. There are no shopping facilities apart from a small gift store, a jewellery store, ...
...Overall comments and experience, overrated, overpriced, not a 5*, out of the way, and no facilities. NB: Beware the timeshare reps as they are out to get you. We also experience very bad weather for the week, cold, wet, and very windy and this might have also tainted our view. ...

Review of Radisson SAS Golden Sands Resort & Spa, Mellieha

Quara Palace ???

Advantages: Suntrap Pool area
Disadvantages: Not much near hotel

it was a cheap deal for one week half board we paid £750 for 4 adults. It was catered more for older people who like to wait for everything. The lift situation was a nightmare. My mum thought it was excellent but she hadn't had a holiday in 15years. The hotel is basic but clean. My mum did have burst pipes in her room and faulty air con but things like that are expected. The staff were helpful. The food was the same most days. I chose not to eat ...
...ate there and said the food was OK. They even found alternatives for my daughter who is allergic to milk. It was mainly sausage or ham and chips but at least it was food. There is a cafe open very late till 3am which had fantastic coffee. The hotel is very close to the sea but no beach, Malta only has a few beaches but they were making a beach in buggibba last year. Its best to get a bus if you want to see anything of Malta. ...

Review of Qawra Palace Hotel, Malta

A nice place to stay

Advantages: Convenient location
Disadvantages: None significant

...is exclusively for Sunterra and Intercontinental guests. The rooms are quite different from the rest of the hotel and are much more spacious and have a number of additional facilities. The corridors are large, have a luxury carpet and very good lighting. There are plenty of mirrors and framed pictures all along. Most pictures are that of animals! Quite a welcome change. In our suite as well- all framed pictures were of different animals! Our arrangement ...
...good family value. A child sharing pays no extra or room supplements. Children eat for free from the child menu on the same board basis as parents. Bedrooms are air-conditioned/heated and they have bathroom with hairdryer and separate shower, satellite TV with movie-channels, PC and fax modem, free safe, mini-bar and furnished balcony or terrace. Our suite had a family bathroom and an ensuite to the main bedroom. There were 3 flat screen TVs fixed ...

Review of InterContinental Malta, Saint Julian's

A big disappointment!

Advantages: Excellent location.
Disadvantages: Just about everything else.

I stayed at the Europa Hotel for five nights in August of 2007 with two others. Here is a summary of our experience: 1. The location of the hotel cannot be faulted - a bus stop, children's playground, supermarket and a host of eateries and bars are all near by. Besides, Sliema is one of the best places to stay on the island, if not THE best. 2. The hotel in general, and the rooms in particular, were not as comfortable or modern as the photographs ...
...the pictures suggest that the Europa is something much more than it really is. It was a real shock to discover just how far the reality deviated from the hype. 3. I specifically booked a five person room, through a popular hotel booking website, because it was only marginally more expensive than a double, and because we wanted to enjoy the extra space. However, when we checked in, we were told that, as there were only three of us, we would only ...

Review of Europa Hotel, Sliema

A good all-inclusive hotel in an excellent location

Advantages: Outstanding food, good rooms and good service
Disadvantages: Lift doors can hurt, pizzas are poor, no room service and a timeshare rotwieller

...all inclusive stay in the Fortina Spa Resort (5* opened in 2006) and included Club Class return travel with either BA or Air Malta, with Malta transfers and a 2 hour harbour cruise, at a cost of £900 each. Air Malta (Heathrow Terminal 4) provided an outstanding service on both outbound and return sectors - far better than BA! We booked a superior harbour view room and were allocated one on the tower's 4th floor facing Pieta and Marsamxett harbours ...
...also be used in the Fortina hotel bars next door. All drinks are included except aged whiskies and XO Brandy and the like and the cocktail menu is very comprehensive and served by friendly bar staff. There is good live music in the bar area; sadly the piano and musicians are almost hidden from the Limes bar lounge, which has very little character and loads of bar stools, which make it difficult to get to the bar and order drinks. Evening meals have ...
