There was no TV or Wi-Fi available for the entire duration of my stay, which was very inconvenient and did not meet my expectations for the accommodation advertised. Communication was also poor. It was difficult to get clear and timely responses when I needed assistance, which made the experience more frustrating. Although I understand that problems can sometimes occur, I would...

Top Malta National Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Ibis Styles St. Paul's Bay Malta

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in proximity to the main shops and restaurants/bars. No parking but can park in many places a few streets away. Is a great town to then explore the rest of Malta. Free breakfast helps with a good start to the morning. Great drinks up at the rooftop bar and nice well cleaned pool!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Malta

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel and great location . We were B & B and enjoyed the happy hour from 5pm-7pm every day . Also used the sunbeds on the sea platform at Sabi where there are steps that go straight into the clear sea . Caught the local bus into St Julian’s and Spinola Bay and also caught the sea ferry to Sielma Bay and then into Valetta"

Il Palazzin Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a few streets back from the main Qawra tourist areas. The Reception area was quite dark. On approaching the hotel there's no signage to indicate where the reception desk is (on you left behind you as you walk in) I mentioned it being dark and they put a few lights on but it was still gloomy. The hotel needs modernising. It doesn't look like much has changed since it was built The room was clean the bed comfortable. There wasn't any bottled water in the room, most 4 star hotels in Malta give you a free bottle of still water. The supplied toiletries on the room were a decent quality. The toilet was so close to the wall, bigger people need to sit to the side. There were 2 unidentified red stains on the bed. Didn't look like blood. Despite our room being close to the lifts we didn't hear noise. maybe a little bit from the street outside. The indoor and outdoor pools looked ok if a little bit small. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Coffee and Scrambled eggs were great, but everything else was bad. I'd suggest going room only and going out for breakfast. There is a lack of signage. no sign pointing to reception, the indoor pool, the bar or the dining area. £85 for 1 night in late September 2026 isn't too bad for a 4 star hotel in Malta. I don't think you'd be disappointed, but there are better places to stay"

Seaview Hotel Malta - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"This was our 2nd visit this year to this fabulous adult only hotel. Perfect position. Very clean. Rooms well equipped. Rooftop infinity pool is stunning. Indoor pool was glorious and very relaxing with jacuzzi bath. Staff are amazing. Breakfast room beautiful with lots of variation to eat, again stunning views and outdoor seating on the balconies. If the hotel are wanting feedback for potential changes, there would be just one suggestion. New pillows on the beds they were all lumpy. And the beds themselves didnt feel very wide. But apart from that this hotel is absolutely perfect."

Canifor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bien situé et facilité d’accès à la marche aux restos, dépanneurs, bars, boutiques de souvenirs et clubs de plongée du quartier. Idem pour le terminus d’autobus. Transports en communs bien développés et facile d’utilisation. L’hôtel a déjà vécu des heures de gloire mais c’est derrière nous dorénavant. Personnellement j’y ai eu ce que je venais y chercher soit un endroit pour dormir et me laver à moindre coût mais sans plus."
