Property was situated along a lovely and busy stretch of the Bay which made the easy to access loads of lovely spots within walking distance. Property itself was quite dingy and the room I stayed in had one very high inaccessible window that made my room feel like a prison. The hotel reception smelt as if all the cigarette been smoked at St Julian's bay was being sucked straight into it. The reception was also dingy and not well lit. The staff's attitude was just ok. They tried to be helpful but it felt surface type most times.

Did the job.
It was quick one night stay as we were heading to one of the club's in Malta that night. Toilet was fine and beds were good also. However, the room door was very difficult to lock and the room window didn't lock which was a big security concern. I wouldn't stay there again for longer trips.

Overall great stay, I was there for 10 nights total and very well worth the money. Will be staying here again for sure. Only feedback for property is that the WiFi could use updating. It would not constantly stay connected and would drop frequently. Once this is solved this solved hotel will be perfect for budgeted travels. Again, will be staying

Convenient location. Good value for money.
The hotel is in a great location. Accross from St. Julian's beach and few steps from the bus stop. Easy to get to Valletta from here and you can walk to St. George's Bay. Our room was clean and comfortable. The bath tub had a leak and they fixed right away after we reported it. I highly recommend the breakfast. It wasn't expensive buy had everything you need to fuel up and get ready for the day. Vending machines at the lobby were a life saver as we arrived after midnight on a Sunday night and all the restaurants were closed. I'd definitely stay here again.

At Julians bay
This is my go to hotel in Malta although there has been some enforced COVID changes since my last visit Room on the7th floor was clean and kept clean to a good standard throughout my stay Staff have changed since my last visit but they remain friendly and Willing to help any request The breakfast was a bit disappointing but clearly enforced changes due to COVID but the portions were small and it seemed rushed Compared to previous visits Overall the hotel remains central to the things I want to visit and is a good base it has retainedits friendly and welcoming manner

The first impressions was okay, the reception looked nice and the staff seemed friendly enough. Upon arriving at our room there was a horrible sewerage smell in the room and we had a lovely view of a very noisy road. The windows are terrible you can hear everything ! We are not ones to complain so we put up with it, till three days into our stay and upon entering our room i notice the safe was open ( this was shut when we left that morning with our money and passports in) there was 60 euros missing! What makes things worse my mother in law also had money taken fro. Her room too. We spoke to the manager straight away, after she spoke to the cleaner, and reviewed the CCTV (although firstly the cleaner isnt going to admit he took it and secondly the camra was not covering our door, and there certainly shouldn't be camras in the rooms) she said the cleaner said he didn't take it. We got the police involved and she basically said and I quote 'we have insurance that's fine' . I would not recommend this hotel, and the manager basically has an attitude of well it's not my problem!! We have travelled many places in the world and this is one of the worst hotels we have stayed in.

Great hotel at a brilliant price.
This was a great hotel for my stay in Malta when I was there for the week, the location is great and really convenient for getting around and seeing the various sites with bus stops two minutes away on foot. The room was comfy and had all the necessary amenities, the price was brilliant and the staff were so helpful. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

I can't find anything negative to say about this place. St. Julian's Bay Hotel is a gem, across the street and overlooking a part of the St. Julian's Bay and it's beautiful blue-green water. The hotel is surrounded by amazing restaurants of all kinds and price range, though you wouldn't need to hunt for breakfast as the hotel has an amazing 8 euro per person buffet breakfast, English/American and European styles and all kinds of coffee, breads, and a selection of fruit. And if you really want to eat cheaply, there is a nice supermarket 2 blocks away. Also, the hotel is on the public bus route and the hop on hop off bus route. So, with the very affordable hotel cost, amazing views, and convenient location, don't miss this one, but make sure you ask for an ocean view room with a balcony when you book.
