Onyx Apartments

"Honestly the best hotel I have stayed in in Malta, I’ve been going to Malta every year for the past 3 years and I’ve stayed in a number of different hotels both in St Julian’s and St Paul’s Bay. This hotel tops all of them. I was a solo traveler the hotel staff were soo welcoming the check in process was so easy I arrived 30 minutes before check in and they checked me in straight away. They had my room key ready waiting for me. The highlight of staying here was the staff they made are so friendly they made me feel welcome and safe. The room was clean and I was able to call reception to request housing to clean the room if I needed to at certain hours during the day. I loved my stay here more than some of the 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in in St Julian’s. What really made the experience was the friendly staff how they always made sure I had everything I needed and welcomed me. I will stay here again"

"Great location, good equipment, the pool was a nice alternative if u didnt want to go to the beach although a bit small, breakfasts were good with a nice selection, staff was extremely friendly and helpful, special thanks to the general manager Carl Zarb for his generosity and his maximum effort for helping us have the best expirience"

"This part of Malta needed exactly this type of hotel - small, modern and chic. It is fair to say it is was very busy in Malta being the summer months, and yet, when I walked into the doors of Onyx, it was an instant feeling of calm and in a completely different environment with a very warm welcome every time. It is also next to Portomaso harbour which is really peaceful to walk around or to go into the Hilton cafe too. Buses, taxis etc very easy to get from here or walking down the promenade in the evening with all the restaurants. They have various choices of rooms including digital nomad, and I loved this since I was working while away also. I also had a couple of evenings after a long day out just watching the TV in my room as they have big, good quality TVs with Netflix available. The breakfast is EXCEPTIONAL with a chef who takes pride in what he does and is very skilled as I had a few conversations with him about his passion for cooking. It is rotated every day for something different. The service from kitchen to front of house was amazing, they worked really hard to clear up quickly and replace finished items. Any problems were rectified, such as the hairdryer breaking - instantly replaced. If you saw staff as you walked around, they were so polite and friendly. The pool on the rooftop is really nice to cool down in and relax. It is small so not to swim in, but with benches around it just to unwind and enjoy - I loved it as it was very hot but I am not a fan of AC. It could get a bit noisy as it is in the centre of a very busy part but I found the windows shut this out really well and it is the nature of being close to everything, which was very useful! Last detail is the coffee machine, water filter station and vending machine in the little lounge by reception, I found these really handy to have. Fair to say I recommend and will return."
