I can see why most guests leave an excellent review for this hotel: it’s all about the free drinks included in the buffet price or the free buffet included in the room rate. The quality of the food corresponded to the price. Scrambled eggs with no taste whatsoever (probably from a Tetra Pak), bacon not crispy at all, no fresh fruit juices … Cleanliness could have been better, the maid didn’t even remove the used dishes we put on the balcony. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned thoroughly, either. The huge air condition units are placed in the inner court of the hotel, so that you can hear a constant roar day and night, even with the window closed. You don’t want to sit on the balcony with that noise. Each balcony is illuminated with a bright light that can’t be switched off, so no one ever uses the balcony at night. We were issued a voucher for a hydro massage in the spa area, however, it could only be redeemed between 11.00 and 16.30h, when you’re out and about. The parking garage is well hidden in a different building, with no sign pointing to it. It’s very narrow and you have to give your car keys to the staff, so that they park the car for you.

Great place to stay! Food options are halal, themed buffet nights and a restaurant on site. Very clean and the spa is lovely with lots of treatments to choose from. Had one of the best facials there! Rooms were a little small considering we booked studio rooms. Rooms came with a spacious bathroom and a built in kitchen. Would have like more in room services such as water bottles and an iron.

After spending a lot of time researching hotels in Malta, we chose the Solana Hotel based on its location, facilities, price, and room photos. Check-in was smooth, and we were quickly given directions to our room. Unfortunately, the room we were assigned was on level -3 and had no window. The Expedia website described the room as “Internal/no balcony”, but it did not mention that there was no window at all. Since I am claustrophobic, I couldn’t stay in a room without one. I went back to the reception desk to see what could be done, but the only option was to pay an additional €160 to upgrade. After a long negotiation (and with no help from Expedia because it was high season), I managed to get the price down to €100. Putting that initial issue aside, the hotel itself was incredible. Our new room was spacious and clean, with an extremely comfortable bed and a wonderful shower. The hotel feels new and has excellent facilities, including a gym, a sauna, and multiple swimming pools—the rooftop one was a highlight. The included breakfast was also fantastic, with a wide variety of options. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay. I would absolutely recommend staying here.
