AC Hotel St. Julian's

Top hotel Ilenia is super star

We stayed there in July 2023. We had a lot of issues with our stay, it was catastrophic! I think because the hotel was new and they had just opened when we were there. We arrived to the hotel very late because of our flight. The room smelled very funky! We tried to call down to the reception, but nobody answered us and we were already in our nightwear so we did not want to go down. The day after we told the reception to please clean the room or make the smell go away while we go out and they said yes. When we came back, nothing was done. The room still smelled very disgusting and also we had bought a lot of snacks and food so we wanted to use the fridge which was also broken. A guy came up to our room to fix the fridge but he couldn’t so he changed the whole fridge. He tried to flirt with me and my friend a lot even tho we did not want to talk to him. He didn’t get the hint when we said that we have partners. When he changed the fridge, it still didn’t work. So everything we had bought we needed to eat it because it would go bad otherwise. One day, we wanted to stay in because we were too tired to go out and do anything and this time the TV didn’t work. We called the reception again, and this time they answered, came up to the room and couldn’t fix the TV. When we checked out, I addressed these issues and they promised us that if we go there again they would fix a better rate for us as a compensation for next time. Me and my friend are going to Malta again and I have tried to contact the hotel with email but nobody answers me. And we feel tricked now! It’s not ok at all! We have already booked the new flight.

We booked a birthday vacation at the AC hotel St Julian's Marriott. It is an easy 15 minute drive from the airport, has free parking for guests and a nicely stocked breakfast. The rooms are very large with small balconies that face into town. If you crank your neck you can see the ocean from your balcony but in no way is it an ocean view. The balcony is narrow, with just enough room for a small table and two chairs but is perfect for two people to have morning coffee. The room has a water kettle and Nespresso machine with all the necessary pods, tea bags, and sugar for your morning or evening coffee fix. The bed is comfortable with a large smart TV that allows for screen casting to stream from your smartphone. It also has a wide variety of cable channels in various languages. The breakfast is nice, with both hot and cold items available. The hot items could have been a bit warmer, as the trays cool down quickly but overall we enjoyed the breakfast. It is a newer hotel and staff are lovely and very accommodating. The bar offers happy hour and is limited on liquor available. The bartenders don't seem to be as experienced as one would expect. We ordered mimosas to compliment our breakfast and each day received a "version" of a mimosa that was different than the previous day. It was funny to us and just added to the day but for others might be annoying to not get what was ordered. The rooftop pool was nice, temperature was warm but not hot. The décor could use some sprucing as it seems they have furniture that wasn't out because it wasn't "in season." If the pool is heated and open year round, then the furniture should remain the same regardless of the season. We wish the rooftop pool remained open later into the evening. Overall it was a pleasant stay, staff are friendly and accommodating and rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is right off the main ***** of St Julian's, so not a lot of noise from crowds, but there is construction all around so there is noise during the work week.

Very clean hotel with great amenities. The staff were so kind and attentive. Rooms are large and clean. Bathroom and shower were amazing. The only bad thing was the view of our room being a concrete wall nearly 5 feet away. Other than that, the rooftop pool was incredible. The restaurant and breakfast buffet were the best part!!!!! Loved our stay and loved the staff.

I stayed at Marriott many times of all different brands but the AC here at Malta was an disapointment. The room has no view at all since they are constructing another building next door One of the reasons I chose this hotel was because the heated pool since ita winter, but the one upstairs has a crane beeping all the time and the indoor pool the water was not hot, not even warm. When you enter the feeling is not the warm and nice it is cold. I have been in hundreds of hotels last few years. The pool is not nice Breakfast is okay and the room has a confortable bed, but I was in general disapointed.

This is my 3rd time in Malta and this is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed at. I’m usually one of those people that never write a review but I had to let everyone know about the exceptional service received from this hotel. Honestly everything was perfect. The customer service was incredible to the extent I was even surprised with a room upgrade and Prosecco + written note from the general manager on my arrival. The staff are all lovely and willing to help you out with anything you require and they give you recommendations for places to go in Malta. The hotel itself is very new so everything is modern and it’s very clean. I read some reviews about construction noise before I came but I didn’t experience any of this when I was there. The breakfast was amazing with a large variety of things to choose from and the view on the terrace on the 9th floor is beautiful. I could not recommend this hotel more if you’re going to Malta!
