Pros:

Room was very clean, although we did not have a view from our room, though it did the job as it is in an ideal location just off the strand near hundreds of restaurants and the marina. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet was great. View from the rooftop pool area was amazing.

Pros:

Our stay at Alavits was perfect. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly and always very pleasant to chat to each day.
Our room was absolutely perfect!
Great size and great amenities. Perfect for a family and lived the rooftop pool with a great view over Malta.
We were so happy during the entirety of our stay. 😊😊

Pros:

The hotel has an excellent location, with stunning views from the room and the rooftop pool. The room’s interior was beautifully designed. Although the drainage in the bathroom and sink could be improved, it did not significantly affect our stay.
I would definitely choose to stay here again when visiting Malta.

Pros:

Clean, modern hotel room. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was bountiful with many gluten free options. Wish the room had an iron (I'm sure I could have called down for one), and that there was a fan in the bathroom to help control humidity (a losing battle in Malta, though).

Bästa familjerummet med bra läge på Malta
Pros:

Trevligt hotell med bra läge i Sliema/Gzira för utflykter på hela Malta! Gångavstånd till havsbad och fint poolbad på hotellets tak! Bra frukost, rent och fräscht men familjerummet kändes instängt då det saknades fönster med utsikt. Fönster fanns men det var endast fasaden man såg eller elektriska installationer.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was very good. It was set back from the busy road which was good as no traffic noise could be heard at night. It was in a central location with plenty of eating places nearby and just a 10 minute walk to the ferry crossing for Valetta. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Malta.

Pros:

Overall great hotel. Staff very helpful and excellent location! Only thing we found was that the doors in the rooms weren’t the best at keeping the sound from the corridor out and the pool walls could’ve done with some tlc and descaling!!

Pros:

We got transferred from the newer, better-rated hotel (Alavits) to an older, lower-rated ST hotel nearby (Bayview), apparently as the air-conditioning wasn’t working in our room. However, from our new room, we could see the Alavits hotel and saw guests checking in to the corner junior suite we had asked to be allocated to celebrate a milestone birthday. We should have got a partial refund as Bayview is older and cheaper to book than Alavits. While we still had a large terrace, it was lower in height than the other hotel, and, although closer to the water, it had less privacy as people from the pool could see us. The pool facilities were not great and did not seem very clean. We used the spa inside; it had broken tiles, black things floating in the water, and mould/algae on the tiles at the water level. The room was very small, and the sun/heat stopped us from using the terrace for most of the day, so we felt confined. We had incredibly noisy guests next door to us, who brought other people onto their balcony, singing and shouting loudly after the 11pm noise curfew. We were so tired after travelling the first night, we didn't have the energy to make a complaint, but the noise continued, so after making a complaint the next night, the hotel informed us of their one strike policy. Thankfully, the guests took notice and our final night was much better and quieter. The breakfast was adequate, but best to go early. The juice didn't taste right (syrup?). Very walkable to locations.

Great location
Pros:

Hotel is a great location, and easy walking and ferry access to the sites.

Room was spacious and quiet and breakfast had a great selection.

Car park is at sister hotel in basement, and approx 5 min walk, and very safe to leave car.

Checking a bit slow, but other from that would stay here again.

Agréable séjour à Gzira
Pros:

Séjour de 6 nuits en couple.
L’hôtel est très bien placé à 50m des arrets de bus dans une petite rue. Malgré la proximité d’une grande artère l’hôtel est très calme. RAS au niveau de l’hôtel tout était parfait. L’hôtel possède une piscine avec un petit bar sur le toit tres agréable.
