Juliani

"Hotel selected for us by Kuoni through their agent Kirker, last stop in a Malta - Gozo -Malta trip. Boutique hotel, next to the noisy and vibrant Paceville area and excellently located for easy access to bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. Superb view across to Spinola Bay and St Julian's Bay beyond that. Seamless courteous check-in with room ready for immediate occupation. Had upgraded to sea view room which was well worth the slight extra expense. 8th Floor room with balcony, chairs and table meant that the morning sunshine poured into the room and enabled an early coffee/tea on the balcony watching the world go by before a leisurely breakfast. Also great to sit out in the late evening watching boats come and go. Noise levels were not intrusive and, with patio/balcony door closed during the night you could not hear anything from the street below or nearby. Room well equipped, effective A/C with coffee/tea making facilities, walk in shower cubicle with toiletries provides and plenty of towels etc. We stayed bed and breakfast with self-service continental and cooked breakfast options - it was possible to order additional items to be cooked fresh - fried, boiled eggs, omelette etc. This meant that there was more than enough choice to be able to start your day well. Good value for money here. The hotel was very clean, room service daily meant that we were very comfortable and felt well looked after. Hotel offered a spa with treatments and the rooftop pool was a decent size with bar service for food and drinks. Excellent place to swim, read or just enjoy a cocktail and the view. Service from all the staff throughout the hotel was superb, friendly, professional and welcoming, providing recommendations - thanks Emilio - for good places to eat (Toro Toro, Little Argentina and Hammett's Mestizo for example.) Hotel also provides direct access to Zest, a pan-Asian fusion restaurant with a superb selection of Asian food and well worth a visit, as we did! Hotel offers guests a 10% discount when visiting the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here having experienced a range of hotels and locations as part of our visit to Malta and Gozo."

"We had an amazing stay at Hotel Juliani, one we won't forget! The staff are so professional, friendly and welcoming. The cleaning staff are truly exceptional with their attention to detail! The beds are extremely comfortable and breakfast had a great selection! The sliding door onto the balcony was relatively soundproof with minimal disruption from the streets below even during the World Cup! The plunge pool was quite refreshing with plenty of loungers and shaded/padded areas. 10/10 would definitely recommend!"

"Booked based on reviews and research, just shows you have to dig deep to get to the detail. Pre booked an early check in and had it approved by email, when we arrived, we were informed room wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be for another 3 hours. After much debate we eventually got in an hour after we should have been, not a great start! Man well on the desk seemed a bit disinterested in the whole situation. Everyone raves about the breakfast…. Trust me it’s nothing special, the service is an absolute shambles, all the staff do is stand about and chat. Some days you get asked if you want eggs, some days you don’t. Some days you get asked how you want your eggs, some days you don’t. Sorry to say this but with some of the staff there is a language barrier issue, they need to try and work on that, but bottom line, breakfast is nothing special. Sunbeds at the pool are THE most uncomfortable I have ever been on, everyone is as complaining, why they can’t invest in some cushions is anyone’s guess. We were lucky, 2 days ago a massive crane went up as apparently they’re not extending the hotel, so bad luck to anyone who visits over the next few months as you’ll be in the middle of a building site. Big shout out to Ange at the pool bar, she was fantastic !!! The views are stunning, but for £250 a night, we’ll try somewhere different next time"
