Clean rooms with modern design, comfortable bed, hot shower. Very polite staff. Good selection of cooked and continental food for breakfast. Spa pool in the basement is peaceful. Pool suitable for relaxing not laps. A dozen or so comfortable loungers. A steam room and sauna for 3/4 people. Plenty of free towels and water. Rooftop pool with similar loungers. Not sure if it’s heated but was comfortable on a warm day. We would stay again.

Lovely place and staff, bed was comfy, bathroom was nice and spacious with a lovely overhead shower. Didn't use the kitchen or spa areas so can't comment on those, but the staff were very helpful with explaining them to me when I got there. As far as hostels go, this was a great experience. Only stayed for one night but I wish it was longer! The rooms can get very warm during summer but the receptionists will put the ac on longer if you ask which is great. Downstairs area is very nicely...

Staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Room was cleaned multiple times a day and even got a free upgrade. Facilities were clean and good. Plenty of restaurants nearby, bus stops right outside.

Lovely hostel, staff are friendly but spa is a bit misleading. An allowance of 2 hours to use the luke warm Jacuzzi and you have to book in advance, it is only available at a set time also. If you want to go in the sauna, it is 8.00euros.

The location of the Victoria Hotel was excellent. The staff were all polite and the front desk very welcoming. I contacted the hotel prior to staying and they completed my request efficiently. The room was large and clean and the breakfast plentiful with lots of choice.

Monika was amazing, very helpful and let us drop off our bags as we had a very early morning flight. Luckily we were able to check in earlier which we appreciated!
The flat was clean, tidy and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. We really enjoyed the sun loungers and the pool was very refreshing.
The bus stop was a 2 minute walk from the flats which was convenient to get around.
The only recommendation I would make is supplying more than 2 toilet rolls as we run out not long...

Second time at this beautiful hotel. Positioned perfectly overlooking the harbour and view of Valetta. Rooms are lovely, had a Superior Twin with Sea View and balcony, very big, very clean, large bathroom with wet room shower this time, previously traditional bath, lovely fluffy white towels and good toiletries. Breakfast in the Regatta Restaurant offers full range of hot and cold choices, since Covid all served by staff, wide selection of coffee made barista style plus juices and fresh fruit....

Had a lovely stay at 1926! One of my best holidays! Beautiful food for breakfast and at the pool! Amazing infinity pool! We were lucky it wasn’t too crowded as we went last sept! Otherwise the pool would be a bit small and would be chasing a sun bed! Would definitely come back and recommend 😊

We enjoyed our stay. Hotel is nicely refurbished and very clean. Despite being on the first floor and overlooking the street our room was peaceful and comfortable. We appreciated the Nespresso machine, microwave and fridge. Convenient location both for Sliema coast and St Julian’s bay. Like most hotels, there are too many cushions on the bed.

A superb hotel in a great location - great connections for shopping, sightseeing and public transport. Modern decoration and large room size with small balcony. Good choice for buffet breakfast, adapted for table service to comply with Covid recommendations. Well equipped and hygienic, rooms cleaned thoroughly. Will definitely stay here again.
