Top Birkirkara Hotel Reviews
115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective
"Great room, spacious and modern. Facilities overall were excellent. Gym wasn't working which wasn't ideal as husband training for a big run after we got home so had to go outside in the heat which was tough. Staff all helpful and friendly from the cleaning crew to the reception team. Food in the restaurant was also very good. Would certainly recommend."
Hyatt Regency Malta
"Decent, clean hotel with good amenities. Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fair, but choice was somewhat limited compared to similar rated establishments. Very disappointed that bedsheets were not changed once during the whole week that we stayed here. Location of hotel ideal for access to St Julian’s & surrounding area, but this is primarily a party town and music from several bars & clubs was always audible in evenings & occasionally annoying when trying to rest/sleep. Would definitely recommend staying in Valletta as a preferable alternative for anybody who’s looking for a bit of peace and culture."
InterContinental Malta by IHG
"Everyone at the hotel was super nice."
Malta Marriott Resort & Spa
"We stayed here for 4 nights. I have to say it was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The views from our room were spectacular. The staff were amazing. The facilities were great. I never understand why children are excluded from the indoor pools and roof top pools in any hotel as families pay the same amount if not more for the stay, but we knew that before we booked up, so can't complain too much. The staff went the extra mile! The rooms were spotless and always cleaned very quickly after leaving and turned down on a night time. The Club Lounge was fantastic. All in all it was amazing and really helped us cope wi the sweltering Maltese heat."
Verdi St Georges Bay Marina
"Good air con,nice views from balcony Difficult stairs up to suites on top floor- especially carrying suitcase up& down. Noise from building site opposite not good. Decor needs updating"
The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Westin Malta. The beds were very comfortable, the air conditioning was excellent and breakfast was delicious. The gym was fantastic, although it became quite busy with local members during the week. The bathrooms could do with updating, and getting a sun lounger was a bit of a rat race. We also felt an adults-only pool would improve the experience, as children jumping into the cold tubs and bombing into the main pool made it less relaxing."
Novotel Malta Sliema
"Very clean, staff were all amazing, breakfast was great! The hotel was a short walk away from the water and from the ferry to Valletta. I found the location to be very convenient."
Corinthia St George's Bay
"The location, pool and gym facilities are excellent. The breakfast buffet is really wonderful. Some rooms have been refurbished and are very large and spacious with an updated bathroom. We had an updated 1 bedroom suite and it was wonderful. Ask ahead. Staff were very helpful."
Corinthia Palace Malta
"This was a really lovely hotel. I would definitely stay again."
