Poor room cleaning.
Pros:

Stayed for 10 nights in the Plaza side in a superior sea view studio on the 3rd floor. Room was large and generally comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe space and loads of drawers but not enough hangers. Plenty of sockets and USB ports and free use of a digital safe. The air conditioning was not too efficient probably because there was an alert on the controller that the fiter needed cleaning. Bathroom contained a bath tub with shower plus a separate shower cubicle which was ok however the controls were tempremantal. (Nice to have a glass screen and door and not a curtain but a rain shower would be a welcome addition) Kitchen area had plenty of utensils but no chopping board so preperation of a proper meal may be difficult. Balcony door wasn't very efficient and traffic noise especially in the morning could be a problem for light sleepers.
Room cleaning lets the hotel down. Debris on our floor wasn't cleaned and the room never had the 'just cleaned' smell that the public areas had. Main entrance to the Plaza is very small with marble steps up that were hazardous when wet especially on arrival and departure with cases etc.
Not too much nearby in the way of bars and restaurants but can recommend the Plough and Anchor for a drink and Frescos for a nice meal.

Lovely modern hotel in a great location. Would highly recommend
Pros:

Great small reasonably priced hotel. We had a big room with twin beds. Very clean and modern. Breakfast was good and all self service. Fantastic location on seafront, beside bus stop to Valetta and hop on hop off bus. Airport bus stop 2 mins around the corner. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Bad neighbours
Pros:

Have not had a great experience our neighbours kept us awake for the first couple of nights until 4am! and now our room stinks with our patio door shut ,of drugs with the neighbours on the other side sat on the balcony. Having to smell this all night isn’t pleasant for us . Had to ask for clean towels after 4 days as room had not been cleaned, reception gave me one towel I said I needed more so he then gave me two towels. The domestic then came and cleaned room. Would not stay here again .
Nice view from balcony thou.
Great bus service outside

Pleasure from beginning to end
Pros:

Where to begin?? This place was amazing from the minute we arrived to the moment we left.
Booking in we were greeted by, I believe, the manager. He couldn't do enough for us.
Breakfast something for everyone and staff pleasant.
Room was cleaned every single day even Sunday. Beds were extremely comfortable.
Checkout was smooth and we left our cases in the luggage room for the day. Only suggestion I would make there is to put a cctv camera in this room as many do in other complexes/hotels.
Well done to everyone, hopefully we will be revisiting soon

Lovely stay, had a great week here!
Pros:

Lovely stay. stayed for a week the room amenities were lovely little kitchen and balcony. Only slight annoyance was our double bed was two singles that moved away from each other during the night. The pool deck was lovely and a modest size pool was very deep and big enough for al the guests at that time. Also there was another seating area where we sat with cocktails in the early evening. Staff were nice and helpful, and location was very central with bis stops just outside. We would definitely consider staying again

Fabulous experience
Pros:

Came here for a month guests with a group of friends then three weeks so lovely hotel both in sea view room, excellent food options, friendly staff especially Maya, Raohoul and Justin. Daily housekeeping service if needed or ‘do not disturb’ for sustainability for which I choose every three days. Ask housekeeping for tea/coffee etc. Beach and Peppi’s restaurant opposite. Bus service excellent 2 euros each way in winter or 2.50 euros in summer or buy weekly ticket which works out cheaper but chose bus time carefully as can be very, very busy at prime times but it adds to the experience of a holiday. Plenty to see and do and Gozo is gorgeous as well as Valletta with its turbulent history. Guided tours fantastic with Anna. Musical concerts 13 euros every Tuesday at Lady of our Victory church in Valletta - excellent. Cannon in Upper Barracks fires off at noon and 4pm - very noisy. Had a lovely time at hotel although terrace pool not open until April/May but heated indoor pool available in basement. Overall a very pleasant experience and booked to return in October.

Instantly disappointed
Pros:

I've only just arrived. Room is tiny. I booked a double room but I've got 2 single beds It also smells from the restaurants below. I was hoping it would be a place relax but I was wrong.

Malta experience plaza and regency hotel
Pros:

Would have rated this 5 out of 5. First 3 nights was nice and peaceful. Good rooms lovely views over the bay. Then a school party arrived and hell broke lose. Kids running around the corridors shouting knocking on doors at 2:30 am. Had get up and tell them to go to sleep as other people were sleeping. Complained to manager the next morning. Happened again the next night. Duty manager had to move us to a quiet part of the hotel. Spoiled our last 2 nights. Other than that its a beautiful hotel, breakfast was a lot to choose from. Staff were nice and friendly. Word of warning don't use the local buses unless you want to be squeezed like sardines. We used Bolt similar to Uber.

Great budget hotel /apartments.
Pros:

Stayed in a studio apartment. Balcony was small but had a great seaview, right on the seafront. Furnishings were basic but comfirtable and the apartment was large and spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchenette and large bathroom with bath and seperate shower. Maid service every day with regular changes of bedding and towels. Stayed on B&B basis with a good selection for breakfast. Staff very friendly. More of a couples hotel, rather than for families with young children as there weren't any facilities for them or any beaches nearby.
Would happily stay there again.

Fouth visit, didn't disapoint.
Pros:

Our fourth visit to this hotel and we still can't fault it. For a 3 star, it is better than several 4 star hotels I have statyed in. Our room had a seaview with a wrap round balcony giving us two perspectives. The room was a little smaller than one we had on our previous visit but all we use it for is sleep and getting ready to go out. Ideal.

Good location with bus routes.
Pros:

Hotel was clean and tidy and staff very polite and happy to engage in conversation.
The location was handy as there were bus stops nearby and outside.
We booked a standard room, Seaview, with balcony, high floor. We were upgraded upon check in to a deluxe Seaview, balcony but on floor 3 only thing disappointed was the view was blocked by trees.
Breakfast was good with good selection.

If you have mobility issues there are stairs up to the entrance so could be a challenge.
Rooms - the room was great only downsides were climbing into the bath for a shower, the bath was very slippy boarding on dangerous standing to take a shower.
The mattresses could do with being replaced as the corners had exposed frame/metal.
The bottom sheet wasn't long enough for the mattress ?
Would i stay here again properly yes due to the location.

Wonderful Malta.
Pros:

Hotel is very clean and modern and has excellent friendly staff
We had a beautiful view from our front facing room with balcony
We knew from research that there would be no
tea making facility’s
( some rooms have )so we took our own travel kettle
Room was warm and serviced everyday
To find the entrance to hotel you have to walk down a path through a outdoor seating
restaurant
Turn left out of hotel walk 5 min and there is a very small beach
Bus stop is just as you step out of hotel and there are buses to most places on the island
We paid 25 euro each for a weekly bus pass which we purchased from the buss stand near selima ferry
bus 222 outside hotel to cirkewwa then ferry across to Gozo 4.65 euro return

Comfortable and friendly
Pros:

A pleasant stay at this busy hotel. Small but comfortable rooms, needed to ask for additional towels. Helpful staff and perfect location if you want to explore the island on the brilliant bus routes! Enjoyable and fresh breakfast, although more fruit would have been appreciated.

Good 3 star
Pros:

Very good hotel for a 3 star. We enjoyed using the rooftop area for sunbathing. The roof top bar was a bit hit and miss at night and its the only bar in the hotel. The rooms were clean and not a bad size, I took my own travel kettle/tea ect. It lacks not having a fridge in the room. Breakfast was okay , plenty of choice and the staff worked hard clearing away, also, good hours for breakfast. The hotel is in a good easy area, plenty of bars and restaurants without being too busy . You can walk to St Julian's bay easy ( bars, nightclubs, ect) and plenty of buses to get to Valletta. For the time of year, we had a great stay plus good weather.

Good location excellent hotel
Pros:

Came with a group of 10 what a time we had. The hotel was ideally suited for many bars and restaurants. With the bus stop outside it was easy to get to Valetta, St Julian’s bay and Sliema marina. The hotel itself was very clean and daily room service. We just went B&B and the breakfast was excellent.Good amenities the only fault really was when we went to the jacuzzi it was cold but not really a deal breaker. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back

Terrible Customer Service and Management
Pros:

Don’t bother booking this hotel when you can find much better accommodation for the money elsewhere. We paid an additional supplement for 3 sea view rooms which overlooked trees rather than the sea. Complained to the Management and they basically didn’t want to know. The hotel has changed in the 30 plus years we have been coming here and it’s not for the better. One of the rooms we were allocated had a foul smell and maintenance banging at 7am was a real annoyance.
We spoke to the Manager at the Hotel to see if he could resolve an issue with our rooms and nothing happened.
If you don’t look after loyal customers they move on and find other properties in the area who do care and that’s what we will do next time we come to Malta.
