Malta Marriott Resort & Spa

My birthday trip at the Marriott in St. Julian’s was excellent. The hotel is spotless, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff made me feel welcome and safe as a solo female traveller. I especially enjoyed the spa area, which was peaceful and well-maintained. It was the perfect place to relax during my stay. I highly recommend this hotel, especially hotel to the club lounge.

Just wrapped a lovely week at the Marriott, highly recommend and one of the best properties on the island.

Situated on Balluta bay, the hotel has easy access to lots of cafes, bars and restaurants. Although it’s a 15 min taxi ride to Valletta, this was not a problem as the fares were very cheap. If looking for a more resort style hotel, consider staying outside the old city.

Service was impeccable, always lots of friendly faces and smiles. The GM went table to table introducing himself to each customer, was definitely noted.

Property was impeccable and maintained, was impressed with the facilities and cleanliness. Spa/pool were awesome.

Would highly recommend upgrading to club level. Just the breakfast and free drinks was worth the small price.

The only minor item, was the bathroom. Very odd design. Had a heavy sliding door with open wooden slats for a wall. You literally could hear every single noise being made. Will allow your imagination to fill in here. We literally would turn on the shower for privacy.

Any event, highly recommend this property!

Super hotel, great location for local buses etc and restaurants but, what really made it was the staff. From the reception to the cleaning staff, all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

We have just returned from a week at this wonderful hotel to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary and cannot fault anything about it. The staff throughout the hotel were exemplary. There was a vast array of foods to suit every taste at breakfast and the team of waiting staff greeted every guest with a smile. The reception team were always helpful and even organised a free bottle of fizz to help us celebrate our big day. Attention to detail is obvious in all areas of operation.
The hotel is very well located with some excellent restaurants nearby, and the bus stops for the frequent services to St Julian’s, Sliema and Valletta are very close.
We highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Malta.
Thank you Marriott!

If you are looking for a fabulous Spa hotel where all staff members go out of their way to ensure you have a lovely holiday.....where the food is exceptional.....where the amenities are a true 5* experience.....with 2 outdoor pools and a Spa pool.....a place that is spotlessly clean and where the General Manager takes a keen interest to ensure you are enjoying yourself.....look no further....just a couple of suggestions...pay the small supplement and join the M Club privilege Lounge on the 12th floor, I promise you wont regret it... and whatever you do book yourself in for the incredible Saturday night Gala Buffet Dinner....we ran out of superlatives to describe it

We greatly enjoyed a very relaxing and peaceful few days at this (huge) hotel. With over 300 rooms, I can imagine it gets a bit too busy for some (us) when occupancy is at peak levels, but it is a very well managed property that probably copes fine.

We used some of our MB guaranteed upgrade award nights and were very generously double upgraded to a sea view suite. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2020 and still looks as good as new.

There are only four lifts, but they are fabulously efficient.

A special thanks to the lovely housekeeping team who not only kept everywhere immaculate, but did so with smiles and kindness. A rare treat in this day and age to get offered an evening turn down service, but they provided it here.

The manager (Alexander Incorvaja) made himself available to guests by walking around the Club Lounge and the breakfast service to make sure everyone was happy, which I thought was good leadership.

We enjoyed the indoor pool which was very peaceful; I expect it can get quite busy later in the season, but there is a huge outdoor pool at street level and a good sized rooftop pool.

This is a lovely place to stay and the location is ok, being about £10 Uber into Valetta or five minutes walk round the bay into St Julians. There are dozens of restaurants within easy walking distance. We got the 202 bus direct to Mdina (1 hr, 15 minutes / 2 Euros) from a stop just a metres away from the hotel.

All staff deserve great credit - the front desk picked up my phone enquiry immediately and an MB App chat request was picked up straight away too - but I noted down the lovely Rose at the Spa desk and the ever cheerful Bimala who greeted us with great enthusiasm at breakfast every morning which always got our day off on a happy note.

A couple of minor criticisms: the Club Lounge could have been a bit more 'loungey' and less cafe vibe but was otherwise a nice retreat. The only disappointment was the rather cheap food provided at breakfast: the bakery items were low quality and dry, the bread was cheap and the juice provided from a machine that discharges more water than juice. (I found the fresh orange juice machine separately, which was much appreciated). No Greek yoghurt and no non-dairy milk. Overall, breakfast could have been better but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Be aware that if you book city view room, you will look out onto the back of the block of flats in front of the hotel.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Lovely room with sea view. Room cleaned daily and evening turndown service. Two lovely pools with plenty of sun beds. Close to very small beach which does get crowded. Good walks along promenade. Loads of good restaurants within walking distance.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Marriott. We were greeted with friendly staff, which were also helpful during our stay. We love the proximity to the beach, which was nice being a family of three. And having a little child with us. Our room was clean and comfortable.

Stayed at this hotel mid-February.
Facilities were excellent and very clean. Rooms comfortably equipped. Food was great.
Staff are very friendly and nothing is a bother, with them paying attention to the smallest detail.
Excellent sea views into Balluta Bay.
You get what you pay for.

Gym team well trained, very polite and efficient. They take note of requests and complaints and more important follow through. Lately there were temperature issues with the heated pool, thanks to the staff concern, the pool is now pleasantly the right temperature. Thank you for the service.

Upon arrival at the hotel, we received a very warm welcome from the reception and concierge staff, and check-in was very quick.
Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the thoughtful touches were always much appreciated. The newly installed purified fresh water tap in the bathroom is a great idea, eliminating the need for plastic bottles (a definite plus for the environment), and the water tasted excellent.
The staff at the Atrio and Marketplace were very professional and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly during our meals.
Special thanks to Kopila, Medhat, Ashok, Ashique and Renelyn for their smile, kindness, efficiency and the quality of their service.
The food was excellent and of high quality.
The New Year's Eve reception was a real success. The plated dinner was delicious and refined. The atmosphere was pleasant, although the music was a bit too loud; we had difficulty hearing each other speak during the meal.
The buffet at the Marketplace on January 1st was also very good, high quality, and different from the previous year's.
What more can we say except that we highly recommend this establishment and will be returning very soon.

We’ve been visiting this hotel every year for the past ten years sometimes twice a year from the old Le Meridien days to it becoming the Marriott.
Malta has changed a lot over the years, but the Marriot has stayed consistent in quality and service
Alex the Manager has always been a familiar reassuring face making himself visible around the hotel remembering little details from our previous visits making sure everything is just right.
Staff are amazing & seeing some of the familiar faces who have been with the company for a long time shows a lot about how the hotel is run.
Marriot is always our first choice in Malta.
See you guys again in June !

I visited last week and it was wonderful. Mehtab from housekeeping was very helpful and polite. We truly enjoyed our stay!

We love Bonvoy properties and have been so lucky to have stayed in Marriott's all over the world, but this is one of the best. In a great location close to the sea and lots of restaurants and bars, we were steps away from everything and a 10 minute walk to St Julians but out of the hustle which was a great combo. The check in team were great, so welcoming and we were upgraded to a sea view suite. We also had access to the M Club lounge on the 13th floor which was a lovely space with great views and wonderful staff. We ate breakfast here each day and met the GM who is clearly an excellent leader as every team member we interacted with from the bar to the spa were friendly and professional. The hotel has a lovely new interior and our room was immaculate - shout out to house keeping who keep the whole property looking fantastic. The device share on the TV wasn't working but within 5 minutes a member of the tech team came and fixed it. As always with Marriott a super comfy super king bed and great linens. The spa is excellent with a lovely and very peaceful indoor pool (which was great in January) but both outdoor pools looked lovely the one on the 12th floor with fabulous views. Had a massage which was also excellent. A lovely stay in a lovely and excellently run hotel.

Elena at the Gym is always very helpful and with a smile ready to serve customers. Well Done👏👏👏
Luckly this year the temperature of the pool seems very nice.
Hope You Keep it up the whole year like this.

We stayed here on 2 occasions this year for slightly over a week each, and the decision to go back to Malta had much to do with the hotel. It is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in, and that includes some of the Leading hotels. The rooms are spotless (thanks to the cheerful Arjun and the rest of the housekeeping team), the pool is fabulous and the breakfast truly opulent. The staff is universally friendly, cheerful, helpful and patient, from the cleaners to the breakfast staff, reception and concierge. They more than anything made the whole thing feel like a true 5 star experience. The bathrooms are a little dated and could do with an overhaul (and doors that don't let through light) but they are meticulously clean. The rest of the room has a nice contemporary design, with thought put into what would be useful for the guests, and AFAIK all the rooms have a balcony. The fridge is big for a hotel fridge, and blessedly lacks a minibar. Large quantities of complimentary bottles of water are placed in the rooms on a daily basis, we never had to buy bottled water throughout our stay. In terms of location, it's on a vibrant street on the bay packed with restaurants, with a sea-side promenade across the road. It's well-insulated as we never heard outside sounds. There's a gorgeous outside seating area snaking along the side of the hotel by the lobby overlooking the sea. The car park is free and has plenty of spaces.

Great hotel, good location, clean with pleasant staff. Rooms are large and beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast was ok, maybe not as good as most other Marriots I have stayed in. There are a few pools including a magnificent roof top one but as it was December too cold for me to use

We went over the period between Christmas and New Year's, and it was honestly the best stay we've ever had. The staff were brilliant and made our stay so memorable, making sure that they made our kids feel special on their birthday too (we didn't ask for anything, they just surprised us!). Special thanks to Zahra, Sanju and Fana who went out of their way to help us celebrate

Had some light food and drinks at the bar/lounge area on the evening of the 28.12.2025.
The Staff could not do enough for us, all so polite and helpful and made it a very nice and relaxing evening. Thankyou for doing such a great job 👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christmas stay 22/27 dec two rooms two people no Christmas Eve meal nor Christmas Day?other than that it was good shame about the mix up
