The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta

"Unbelievable experience. World class service and amenities. Property is amazing and the staff is above and beyond. Kids loved the pools and buffet. One of the nicest properties and hotels we’ve stayed in. Would highly recommend."

"Central location, Good staff -very helpful and efficient! The plumbing & utility features are showing signs of age."

Hard Rock Hotel Malta

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, our stay at Hard Rock Hotel Malta was excellent, and almost everything was perfect. However, the experience was seriously let down by the night-shift staff, whose attitude and lack of professionalism were extremely disappointing. On our first night, when we arrived at our booked room, we were told that we were being upgraded. In reality, we were given a room with a very poor view at the back of the building, overlooking construction work, with practically nothing pleasant to look at. The following day, we spoke with the daytime manager, who was professional and helpful and moved us to a fantastic room overlooking the pools and the city. This made a huge difference and showed us what the hotel was actually capable of offering. Unfortunately, our experience with the night shift was consistently poor. On another night, I tried to order late-night snacks and beverages, only to be told that wine was not available and that several kitchen items were unavailable as well. When I asked for a simple modification to a sandwich, I was told that they would not make any changes and that their only job was to heat up the products. The attitude was unhelpful, dismissive, and completely inconsistent with the standards expected from a hotel of this level. The most disappointing part was that this was not an isolated incident involving one employee. We encountered three members of the night-shift team, including two reception staff members and the night manager,"

Hyatt Regency Malta

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good location"

Corinthia St George's Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Location is pretty good, close enough to either go on trips, explore Valletta and near restaurants, bars or those wanting more excitement Paceville a short walk. Be prepared for building work, it’s not horrendous, just a fair bit happening in St Julian’s and very nearby. Staff stand out at the hotel in every aspect, very friendly and service with a smile everywhere, including booking taxis. Hotel is 5 star which at night looks lovely, maybe like some reviews said a little dated in the daytime. Rooms are well serviced if a little dated again and Spa is great. Think over the 4 full days we stayed in an executive room, we visited the executive lounge for snacks early afternoon and drinks/nibbles every day; there was an Indian lady, I think Pria? Her smiling face, general conversation made it so lovely to go there. There’s more choice for breakfast in Fra Martino and we managed a table outside every morning. If you like sun bathing by pools, with bars at each it’s perfect, we preferred the Lido and still received an occasional drinks service, There is a small sandy beach though in the bay if you walk a few hundred metres, just expect it to be busy peak season. Debated whether to give it 4 or 5 stars not due to it needing refurbishing a bit, more down to the advertised sea view. My main negative it was a side sea view at best sat on the balcony of 517. The photo showing the sea view is standing up and turning 45 degrees, sat down it’s a nice view of car parks and housing hmmm"

InterContinental Malta by IHG

8/10 Good

"This hotel does not live up to the Intercontinental name. The hotel needs major room renovations. The lobby area and restaurant areas are nice but the rooms are so outdated. The 1st room we checked in had a musty smell and the carpets were stained. Asked for a room change, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The 2nd room was a bit better but the same issue with the old carpet. We had club access which gave us separate breakfast area, tea time and pre-dinner food and drinks. The Seabeach pool on 19th floor is very nice but even with Club Access we were told that the amenities were not included and it was an extra charge. Overall not a bad stay. Location is perfect. The staff made sure we were taken care of, and they worked very hard with a smile 😊"

When is the best time to go to Rabat?

For those looking to experience Rabat at its best, the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are ideal.During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C, making it superb for exploring the ancient streets and historical sites without the intense heat of summer. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed and authentic experience of the city's attractions like the Mdina Cathedral and St. Paul's Catacombs.Couples looking for a romantic getaway will particularly appreciate the mild evenings for dining al fresco in Mdina's charming restaurants or strolling through its well-lit alleys. The agreeable temperatures also make it comfortable for day trips to nearby attractions such as the Dingli Cliffs or the crafts village of Ta' Qali.While July and August offer guaranteed sunshine for those keen on combining their cultural visit with beach days, the high temperatures often exceeding 30°C and larger crowds might be less appealing for travellers prioritising a relaxed and unhurried exploration of Rabat's heritage.
