As a solo traveler from the UK to Malta from 19Feb to 24Feb, Urban Valley is recommended.
The reception staff are very friendly and gave advice on how to move around the city.
My favorite feature was I the free shuttle bus to and from Sliema, Valletta and a bay (at selected times) which guest would need to book ahead of time with the reception due to limited capacity on the bus (8).
There is a tennis court, a play centre for kids and a car park.
My booking included a buffet breakfast from 7am to 10.30 am. Guest can indicate special dietary requirements. There are 2 clean swimming pools (unmanned/no lifeguard) and a fitness centre with a spa.
Guest must pay €0.50 for each day in the hotel subject to a maximum of €5.
The room was clean with complimentary bottle of water but a bit stuffy/musty due to humid weather. May I suggest that House keeping kindly air the room by opening balcony doors prior to guest arrival.
Also, reception should inform guest that welcome letter and general information are accessed by scanning the QR codes on the key card pack and not assume a tired, traveling guest would already know. This would save them unnecessary phone calls to reception by guest needing assistance.
