Maritim Antonine Hotel & Spa Malta

8/10 Good
"We had a pleasant stay at the MARITIM Antonine Hotel & Spa. The location is excellent and very convenient, and we were happy with the service. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was nicely designed and comfortable overall. However, we were assigned a corner room located close to a storage/service area where the cleaning staff kept and collected their equipment. Unfortunately, this resulted in quite a lot of noise, as we could hear the cleaners moving their supplies and working nearby. The room also did not seem to be very well soundproofed, so we could hear noise from the surrounding areas quite clearly. While we appreciated the good service, the noise was the main downside of our stay and made it difficult to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing environment, especially at certain times of the day. Overall, the hotel has a great location, good service, and pleasant room design. We would happily consider staying again, but we would recommend improving the soundproofing and avoiding assigning guests to rooms located directly next to storage or service areas."

Hotel VIU57

8/10 Good
"We stayed at 5 hotels on our visit to Malta and Gozo. We only stayed at this hotel for one night, but found the location to be excellent. It had a good sized swimming pool with amazing views over Mellieha Bay. Our room was very big and we had a small balcony that had great views. It was within very easy walking distance to the main square by the church and restaurant's. The breakfast was very good with a varied choice of hot and cold foods. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to leave our bags in a secure place as we arrived early, plus we were given nice clean pool towels and allowed to use the pool prior to us checking in. Would we stay here again, yes very much so."

Dream Vacation with Private Pool BBQ and breathtaking sunrise and sunset views

10/10 Excellent
"great property for holidays, full air conditioning, immaculately clean, very spacious. we enjoyed living room and kitchen area, all the utensils, very thoughtful equipment with shopping bags, tuperware for on the go snacks, water pitcher, multiple coffee appliances. basic spices, tea, coffee and wine, water, beer - all provided. extra beach towels supplied and beach parasol. only thing we couldn't figure out the extraction hood remote above the cooker, more for the light in the evening than using it for cooking, the retractable awning on the balcony kept folding every 20mins or so, same with the pool jets they kept coming on every now and again despite us turning them off. parking around the building is generally okay, we managed to find it every time. big and well stocked supermarket literally next door. not too close to the beach but there is a direct bus and plenty of buses stop right outside. bonus for the recycling station for all the cans and bottles. host was very quick to respond and very friendly. well maintained, very quiet. would recommend for Malta stay and would be back if we ever come back to Malta"
