Hotels near Balluta Bay Beach, St Julian's

Personally, I don't think this hotel, whether it's the facilities or the staff's service attitude, lives up to a 5-star standard. During my stay, the TV was broken and wasn't actively addressed, and the bathroom door didn't close properly, causing water to leak. Of course, the price for a 5-star hotel here is surprisingly cheap compared to other countries, so there's not much to complain about. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. I would be willing to return if I come back to Malta.

100% satisfied with this hotel! The staff were all in great spirits and very responsive 👍. Even more surprising was that we had an early flight yesterday, and when we checked out, the front desk attendant said: 'Our kitchen colleagues are preparing breakfast for you to take with you!' 👍👍👍 (We did book a room with breakfast, but I never expected them to proactively pack it for us when we couldn't eat it on the day of departure. I didn't even mention that we wouldn't be able to have breakfast that day).

It was a pleasant stay and the hotel was clean and had a modern finish. The weather wasn't great so the indoor pool despite advertised as kids under the age of 13 not allowed after 6pm were still in taking their dips during such days. Otherwise, food is great and b'fast was lovely!!

I specifically requested a quiet room, and they immediately accommodated it! And with the ocean view, waking up every morning put me in a great mood :) The towels folded cutely on the bed were also adorable. Everything was perfect, except for the dim lighting in the room. The chair was too old; if it were replaced, the room would feel much more luxurious. Of course, it was still functional. Housekeeping came to clean the room at 11 AM, but I declined and instead received fresh towels and toiletries. The housekeeper was very kind, and so was the person at the lobby. The bathroom was clean and spacious. However, the showerhead was dirty and wouldn't stay in place, falling off every time I turned on the water. It seemed many others had dropped it too, as there were many signs of breakage, and the next morning I found it had fallen off and broken. Still, when I mentioned it, they replaced it right away. Oh, and at night, the lights suddenly went out, which surprised me. A staff member came to reset the circuit breaker for us. The kitchen room on the reception floor was incredibly well-equipped, so I was able to cook. It had an induction hob, oven, microwave, and beyond just pots, there were also frying pans, various utensils, dishes, and plates, plus a separate dishwashing area. It was all very well-maintained and clean. There was also a water dispenser and a coffee machine, so I enjoyed cappuccinos, espressos, and hot chocolates every morning. It was fantastic!

The cleanliness of the room was very good; everything was tidy and well-maintained. I also want to give a shout-out to the lady at the front desk: since I don't have a credit card, she went out of her way to find a solution for the deposit, even though this wasn't clearly communicated beforehand. Negatives: Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives, making the stay very stressful: * **Poor Soundproofing due to Connecting Door:** There was a connecting door between my room and the neighboring room. I could hear every word my neighbors said – privacy was unfortunately non-existent. * **Misleading Air Conditioning:** The central air conditioning didn't work and was also very complicated to operate. After I complained, I was promised that someone would look into it. The fact that they simply put a fan in my room instead felt disrespectful, as I explicitly booked and paid for a room with air conditioning. * **Incomprehensible Balcony Rule:** The room has a balcony, but smoking is prohibited on it. You have to go all the way to the 8th floor to the reception area to smoke. This is illogical and extremely inconvenient. * **Lack of Information Regarding Deposit:** Although I had already paid everything in advance via Trip.com, a deposit (credit card or €100 cash) was required upon arrival. There was no prior information about this, which led to unnecessary stress during check-in.

Just came back from a girls’ getaway at The Westin Dragonara Resort and it was absolutely amazing! 💃🌴 From the airport, we took a bus that dropped us right in front of the hotel 🚌 — super convenient! The hotel is located right by the sea 🌊, with a heated pool 🔥, a beautiful terrace with direct access to the water, and stunning views all around 😍. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and spotless 🛏️✨ — just pure comfort and style. Service was truly 5⭐️+, everyone so kind and professional 💫. The food was delicious 🍝🍷, and we loved being able to order right from our sun loungers using a QR code 📱 — they brought everything straight to us. Total relaxation! 🥰 The location couldn’t be better — close to nightlife 🎶🌙, restaurants, and bars. We were just a 5-minute walk from the old town area where everything happens. Perfect for a fun night out with the girls! 💃✨ The weather in October was just ideal — not too hot, not too cool, just perfect for chilling by the sea and exploring ☀️🌤️. I’m 100% sure I’ll be back here next October — same time, same place! ❤️ #PerfectGetaway #GirlsTrip #MaltaMagic 🇲🇹💖

The hotel its self is amazing, easy to find, looks incredible, the design and decor is absolutely fabilous. Check in and all staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. I had a double standard room (without a balcony) on the 7th floor - everything I needed. The mini bar and snacks were appreciated as I arrived late - they are very good value actually cheaper than the nearest shop! Would of liked the bar to have been restocked during my stay! The only negative I have is the location it is in a busy late night area and as I arrived at 1am the ecab could not drop me at the door due to restrictions. The noise did not bother me at all & I slept very well every night.

We stayed for 4 nights in Room 101. Unfortunately, there was a water leakage issue in the shower. We contacted the night shift staff, and they offered to arrange a room change the following afternoon. The next day, we spoke again with the Thai staff member at check-in regarding the issue. He responded very professionally, immediately arranged for us to view a replacement room, and even upgraded us to a room with a jacuzzi. We truly appreciated his excellent service and helpful attitude. The hotel facilities are very good. Both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools are free for guests to use, which was a great benefit. The sauna facilities were also excellent, especially after a workout. However, the breakfast selection could be improved. The hot dishes remained the same every day, and watermelon was only available on one occasion during our stay. The catering staff were polite and efficient, despite also having to support the kitchen operations. One of the front desk ladies appeared to be a new staff member. She did not greet guests proactively and seemed to require reminders from her colleagues to complete certain tasks. Overall, for a 4-star hotel in Malta, the hotel has good facilities and service, but there is still room for improvement, particularly in the catering and breakfast experience.

Me and my partner stayed here for a weekend getaway jacuzzi suite. Absolutely amazing it couldn't be any better loved every moment of it. Breakfast was phenomenal, service over all 10/10. It's on a strip so you will hear music at night , didn't bother me at all. Lively, will definitely love it if your a party person. There was a slight smell in the hall ways aswell but once again it didn't bother me. Highly recommend beautiful hotel. I can't find words to describe how beautiful it was.

Our stay at Verdi St George was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The hotel exceeded all our expectations in every way. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect environment for a relaxing getaway. The staff deserves special recognition for their professionalism, friendliness, and genuine hospitality. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was memorable and enjoyable. Their attention to detail and willingness to help with anything we needed made a huge difference. The food was outstanding, offering a great variety of fresh and delicious options every day. The facilities were modern, well-maintained, and created a luxurious atmosphere throughout the property. What truly sets Verdi St George apart is the combination of excellent service, comfort, and a warm welcoming ambiance. It is clear that guest satisfaction is their top priority. We would highly recommend Verdi St George to anyone looking for a first-class holiday experience. We are already looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!
