"I was disappointed with my stay at this accommodation and unfortunately cannot recommend it based on my experience. 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

Mayflower Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent."

Seaview Hotel Malta - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff were really helpful and nice, room was cleaned well. Shower door didn't close fully causing the floor to get wet. We had a sea view room and the music was very loud from the Nine lives bar on the beach below, this went on until 11pm and could even be heard with the the balcony doors closed. Coffee machine in room was a nice touch."

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!"

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"

Innside By Meliá Bugibba

"Everything was wonderful. Beautiful room restaurant was unbelievable"

Sea Blue Horizon Qawra Bay Apartments

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."

Salini Resort

8/10 Good

"Hotel lovely pool area good slightly away from Quawra so needed to get taxis/bus if going into town. Room lovely great sea view."
