Hotel berhampiran Franks, Valletta

The St John Ax is a very central hotel located in a beautiful traditional Maltese building. We were greeted with Prosecco and given lots of information about Malta and recommended restaurants to try from the very knowledgeable Amal and Rose. We were in room 101 (front of hotel). Huge traditional beamed ceilings, original tiles and a Maltese balcony. Massive bedroom area, large modern bathroom and a huge entrance area with seating. It was superb. We did not have any noise issues at all. It was cleaned immaculately daily by Arun who was so lovely. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Damanpreet and Rohit met us with a smile every morning for breakfast. The breakfast team (Marie and Maridol too ) are a credit to Katho the Supervisor. The roof terrace was fabulous with loungers, seating areas, bar and plunge pool with views to the sea. Would highly recommend this hotel for its style, service, staff and location.

We stayed for 3 nights 17-19 Sep 24, The hotel has a great quiet location and can be accessed by car (not a given in Valletta) and is in a great central position to explore the City on foot. The room we had was splendid and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were good too. We will definitely stay at the Capital when we next visit Valletta.

Super vriendelijk personeel! Ze deden alles met de glimlach, vooral Chiara. De kamer was enorm netjes, ruim en voorzien van alle leuke hebbedingetjes. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en gevarieerd. Voor elk wat wils. Gewoon top! Rooftop was ideaal om te genieten van het uitzicht, het zwembad en een lekker hapje. We raden dit hotel aan iedereen aan!

Located on St. Paul Street the hotel is very close to the main streets of Valletta, shops, cafes and restaurants. Our arrival in reception comprised a warm welcome, easy registration and speedy transfer to our room. We stayed for seven nights in a deluxe double room on the fourth floor. Very quiet corner of the hotel in a good size room with comfortable and large double bed, great pillows, sofa, coffee table, desk, fridge, safe and TV. Open wardrobe hanging space with two drawers below, robes and slippers. Helpful to have more clothes hangers and maybe a narrow tallboy with more drawers could be added. Complimentary tea and coffee making items and a large carafe of water replenished everyday. Good size bathroom with a spacious walk in shower and plentiful towels and toiletries. Thank you to the hotel team for the welcome birthday display for my wife. Breakfast in a light, bright dining room next to the hotel bar offers a small buffet but extensive call order service. More than enough choice to start the day and thanks to Madelene, Prakash and the trainees who make it all work so well. There is a room service menu in the room. There is a narrow swimming pool on the roof, bar and sun beds with wonderful views out over the harbour and the town and is a real sun trap although it can get windy on some days. Still a great place to relax in between exploring the island. The basement area accommodates a sauna (book at reception), gym. and another small and warm pool which doubles as a jacuzzi. Housekeeping throughout is of a very high standard and all of the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. Special thank you to Raisa on reception for her guidance and lovely warm smile. Plenty to do in Valletta with the rich history, churches and cathedrals we enjoyed the ferry to the 3 cities and the Malta War Museum. Find time to seek out the hidden parks which are a real delight, great views and cool and quiet on hot days. Most of the larger boat trips seem to go from Sliema which you cross to by ferry but it is very commercialised. We enjoyed superb dining experiences at Rubino (Old Bakery Street), Nenu The Artisan Baker (St. Dominic Street) and D'Office (Archbishop Street). Great lasagne at Luciano (Merchant Street) and fascinating pasta experience at Pastaus (Old Theatre Street). Delighted to be in Malta again after more than forty years and top marks to all at the Gomerino for making our stay so comfortable.

We had a fabulous stay in this lovely boutique hotel. Perfectly positioned in old Valetta, the building has been beautifully refurbished to provide the utmost comfort whilst retaining it's charm. The Staff are all wonderful and very attentive, even bringing my husband a birthday cake at breakfast on his special day! The facilities and spa are also spot on. Breakfasts are delicious with a choice of cereal, bread, fruit, meats and cheeses plus you can have something freshly prepared from the A La Carte Menu. There are loads of amazing restaurants within easy walking distance (recommend 59 Republic, Trabuxu and The Ortygia). Don't bother with hiring a car: it's really easy to use the Bolt Taxis and they are also very reasonably priced. I thoroughly recommend this as a gorgeous place to stay!

位置好 精品酒店

Everything! The location is great, room is perfect, they even have netflix. Bathroom very luxurious with L'Occitane products and Porcelanosa stuff. People complain about the entrance. I don t understand why, there is a big flag on the building with the hotel name on it and also it is written at the entranced it s true that u have to go thru Starbucks, but that is event better cause it s a good reference point. They give u breakfast in the room (from Starbucks )you will find a flyer in the room and you choose from the options they give u. They provide slippers, maybe u need to ask for it. They have iron in the room and also ironing table. They give u a bottle of water from the house and a complimentary drink from starbucks. The hotel doesn t have a reception, just a small desk with a pc and there is an announcment with the phone number, but the guys from starbucks will help u. They came everyday to clean and change the towels. Overall, the location is perfect, room was great, breakfast was good. Nothing to complain, really. If I ever go back to Malta, i will for sure choose this one again❤️

The central position of Castille Hotel makes it possible to reach every location of interest in a couple of minutes, as it is near the Barrakka Gardens and a short walk away from the main streets with restaurants and shops, churches, and the harbour - not to mention the bus stop, a mere 10 minutes walk away. The room, classical in style, had a view on the harbour. What was really amazing was the breakfast, available on the rooftop: not only was it abundant, but also varied, and really good. The staff was readily available, nice, and made it possible to check-in before the arranged arrival time. The only thing I'd change was the shower in the room, as it didn't have a box, but a curtain, and the number of sockets (a couple more would be appreciated).

My wife and I stayed only one night on the occasion of our anniversary. The room was spacious, with a nice view from the balcony, equipped with all the necessary comforts (there was even an iron and ironing board). The staff was very nice and gave us some tourist information. Very close to the main street. Very good quality/price ratio. Highly recommended.

The Phoenicia tries very hard. And the truth is they mostly succeed. But when you bill yourself as the best hotel in Malta (or one of them, at least) it's the details that are what entitle you to claim you're more than just ”very good” but really are ”the best.” And the Phoenicia sometimes overlooks the small details that characterize a true 5-star property. The Hits The staff: They do everything in their power to make one's stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Their attitude is genuine and sincere. And they bend over backwards to accommodate, no matter the situation or the request. The location: Simply the best on the entire island, just outside the gate to Valletta, near the bus terminal, the main square and fountain, pedestrian friendly, you can walk everywhere. The grounds: Beautifully landscaped gardens that are a joy to amble through, magnificent pool, lovely terrace, stunning views over the marina. The common areas: Lobby, restaurant, bars...all are tastefully appointed and comfortable. The Misses The food: The meals we had were all very mediocre, nothing special. We were expecting a 5-star dining experience and were very disappointed. Breakfast is a bit of a madhouse. The menus (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are limited and what's offered is fairly pedestrian. The restaurant servers seemed harried (breakfast) and not very polished (dinner.) The room: Cramped, tiny, and in need of renovation. I booked through Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts, was not upgraded even though hotel was not full. I asked...no upgrade. The Club Bar: Although open it wasn't staffed...at all. Had to physically go find someone (in the adjoining restaurant) to come and make us drinks, then carried them ourselves to our table...and bussed our dirty glasses ourselves when finished. Unacceptable in the extreme. It's these serious missteps that keep the Phoenicia more of a 3 to 4 star property...although they try really hard. I would give it another chance if I were to return.
