Beautiful hotel in great location
Pros:

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.

Lovely stay at the Marriott Malta
Pros:

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.

Gym&spa
Pros:

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.

Highly recommended - very good establishment
Pros:

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.

Always our first choice in Malta
Pros:

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 !

A Superb Marriott
Pros:

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.

Wonderful staff, spotless and beautiful
Pros:

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.

Good hotel in a great location in probably the most vibrant part of Malta
Pros:

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

Best stay ever
Pros:

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

A great Malta destination hotel recommendation. Central enough for all the action yet quiet and reserved.
Pros:

We love the decor and location of this hotel. We managed to visit the other Marriott and we loved and preferred this lovation for all the amenities, quality service, morning breakfast, the fantastic staff and most of all the quiet laid back hospitality. I would highly recommend visiting here

A Wonderful stay!
Pros:

From the moment you walk into the reception to check in, you are instantly made to feel welcome and this feeling never left during our stay.
The hotel itself is large but yet never felt it, there is a beautiful spa, a rooftop pool and lovely outdoor terraces.

All of the above is aesthetically lovely, but the warmth, politeness and respect shown by the staff is so special.

Every member of staff and I mean every ! are a credit to the hotel.

I would like to say all the staff in the M lounge were great and sorry cannot remember all of their names, but Ranjan made great cocktails.

The Marketplece is where we had breakfast, and daily met with a beautiful smile and greeted by Bimala, we were also lucky to have had Eliana serve us. But a huge shout out for Sanju, every hotel should have a Sanju! She was absolutely delightful.

Would love to return.

Great staff. Great location. Beautiful hotel
Pros:

Stayed here for 10 days with my wife. All the staff from the managers, waiting staff in the restaurants to the cleaners are great. Its a very well run, clean properly managed hotel. I've stayed in a few Marriotts but this has been the best, and I think partly because of the way the guests are treated. They staff go out of their way to assist and make you feel welcome. The hotel itself is really nice and big. Spa area very relaxing. A well equpt proper sauna and steam room. Good gym. Really relaxing part of the hotel. Went to the sap every day on my stay. Lobby area big, wecoming and relaxing. Plenty of nooks where you can hide away and work on your laptop of just relax.and enjoy the view of the bay. Restaurants Good. Rooms a good size and comfortable. You can login to your own Netflix or YouTube if you wish. Good size TV. Our room was a standard room but had a bath and separate shower. Water left in room every day, and chocolates. Hotel location couldn't be better. Lots of cafes and restaurants. Relaxing area not to crazy and noisy, but things going on. Not as packed as Valletta. If you want to go further afield for a day recommend downloading the Bolt app. You get a cab in a couple of minutes and Good value. I hope to be back in the future. Would highly recommend
