Paola Holidays

Probably the best location in St Paul’s bay. Just off the main busy tourist area. Lovely pool area, plenty of sun beds. Beds were comfy and balcony overlooking the pool and the bay. Breakfast was good, and plenty of it. As with all buffets a bit of pot luck as to how fresh the hot food was when you turn up. The only issue preventing me giving the hotel an outstanding review was the maintenance. Considering this was the start of the season it seems that little work had been done on maintenance. The pool floor was stained, the fence to the baby pool was rotten, the door to the shower was beginning to rot and the bedroom ceiling tiles were ill fitting Other than that it is a great hotel!

Wow what a wonderful experience staying at this beautiful hotel. The whole stay was exceptional, the design, decor and detail was second to none. The owners and staff could not do enough for us, they made our holiday an even better one with their hospitality and knowledge of the whole island, nothing was too much!! Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable, we also had a balcony overlooking the small but so peaceful pool area. Breakfast was amazing too, we were offered anything at all from a lite bite to a full cooked breakfast which was fresh and delicious. I have got to say that this is possibly the best hospitality I have ever been given and would return in a heartbeat.

I've stayed in many luxury hotels and Iniala Valletta is at the top of the list!!! I'm so happy I didn't stay in the St. Julian area. This was a beautiful view of the grand Harbour... quiet and elegant. I cannot compliment the staff and hotel enough.

I’ve just returned from a week-long stay and, overall, we had a lovely time. The hotel is very modern, and the rooftop pool was a highlight. We spent many days up there and really enjoyed it. Breakfast was good; there wasn’t a huge amount of choice, but we always found something we liked. There were, however, a few things that could have been better. The plugs either side of the bed didn’t really work, and our air-conditioning unit was leaking water. We were also given an accessible room, but unfortunately the shower head wouldn’t stay up, so it wasn’t the most relaxing shower. We had to ask for the shower gel and soap to be refilled, and even when we returned around 3–4pm, our room still hadn’t been cleaned. On our final day, we experienced numerous power cuts and weren’t given much information, only finding out what was happening after going to reception to ask. The rooftop pool was lovely, although the bar doesn’t open until around 1–2pm. Naturally, we bought water and snacks to take up before it opened. Once it did open, the staff were a little abrupt when we touched a bottle of water, telling us we couldn’t drink it. I found this slightly rude, as I would have ordered drinks from the bar if it had opened earlier. The location is perfect, around a 10-minute walk to the waterfront, restaurants and ferry port, with a bus stop very close by. Overall, we had a lovely stay and the hotel has a lot going for it.
