DoubleTree by Hilton Malta

"Positives- staff friendly and always had a smile and they work very hard. Always clean and tidy and room serviced daily. Positioned very close to bus station but get there early if you want a seat on their buses though and this was off season. Room had a side sea view but was very windy (not their fault) but position meant there was never a drop of sun on balcony so not used so maybe ask for a room at front or back of property as then you’ll get some sun. We were half board and have to say we’re disappointed with the offerings. I’m gluten intolerant and although there were some breakfast options they were dry and not very tasty I have to say, glad I brought my own bread. Breakfast was okay - continental options meat/cheese, but quite tasteless fruit, eggs/bacon etc… We were half board but were then told we only get to eat in the buffet when our booking company said we could use the other restaurants on site which is specifically why we booked this - maybe not hotels fault but felt Mis-sold for what we paid. Main evening meals, salads were nice as cold anyways but main courses were often bland and tasteless and I never ate a single hot piece of food and restaurant was always busy, often queuing for a table and that’s in low season… . Although there was a variety none of it was appealing and no separate gluten free options so a lot of it I couldn’t even eat! So definitely not my idea of a 4 star. We ate out a lot as a result and had substantial lunches and nice coffees Mmm- pools, spa staff friendly, you have to book a slot, but spa pool definitely not the advertised 30 degrees, prob 20 max so not really spa feeling of warmth, the indoor swimming pool(full of kids) was warmer. Would not stay here again as felt overpriced for what it was and certainly not the Hilton standards of my previous Hilton stays in IS and UK."

"disappointing stay, buffet generally cold and bland.bar service terrible if all inclusive was not open until 5 pm with most tables reserved so little seating available very slow service waiting for drinks.Expected a better service from what we were led to believe Will definitely not return"

"Very nice hotel. We were on bed and breakfast which was fine. Room was compact but adequate. Nice pools and never too busy. Staff friendly and service excellent.Room serviced daily and hotel was very clean. Great location"
