Hotels near San Gwann il-Battista in Tarxien

Starting with the information - we stayed at So City as a young couple (who arent particularly into nightclubs/bars) to see Matla for the first time over a week. I have given this a 'benefit-of-the-doubt' rating due to the hotel being incredibly new. We picked So City Hotel because of the value, it was incredibly well priced. I'd imagine this is a strategy due to it being so new but it was certainly well worth the price we paid. On to the hotel as a whole - I feel this is definitely aimed toward capturing people coming to Malta for some night life. Its positioned so that no more than 10 seconds from leaving the lobby, you can be in a bar, and their are some nice bars surrounding. That said, we werent there for that - but this location also meant that finding an evening meal, or a quick early night drink was incredibly easy. Exploring the island was also very easy from here, Valletta was a very short journey, and as we had opted to rent a car, there was a carpark about 5 minutes walk away (Pengardens) which is reasonably priced for over night parking, and we never struggled for a space. The room was very comfortable, and the mattress was perfect and bedding very soft and comfortable. Our upgraded room was also incredibly spacious. The theming is a nice touch and makes the room a bit more characterful and individual. Staying on the 7th floor, there was minimal noise at night, altough id be concerned if we needed to keep the window open.... The black out curtains were also amazing for keep the room dark for a little bit of extra sleep. Constructive criticism for the room would be: The shower tempurture is difficult - the hottest setting is insanely hot (my other half loves hot showers but this was too much for her also) and it wouldnt go cold, just cooler, it also seemed to get colder through out the shower and you found yourself adjusting. There is not a lot of storage at all for longer stays. This is perhaps a by product of it feeling aimed towards 'nightlifers' who might stop 3 nights or so. I would perhaps ask reception for additional hangers if you have plenty of clothes for a longer stay. The mini fridge, altough useful, is not big enough to put larger water bottles in, which can be annoying. The aircon unit is situated in a place which means it blows directly at the bed. I tried to play with the control but there was no way to adjust it that I could find. Im trying to cool the room, not refridgerate myself. The timer on the aircon also didnt seem to work, so setting it the blow for 30 mins whilst i went to sleep just didnt seem to work. The TV is not a full smartTV which is a shame. Just channels and an internet browser, which are never nice to navigate around.... On to other notes: Breakfast is just what you need. Its not an all out buffett where there is everything you could dream of, but there is more than enough and a few items cycle so you can expect a slightly different breakfast each morning. Constructive criticism for bre

This hotel is brand new with well appointed room with a small balcony, perfect to admire the great sea view. The pool area is fantastic with a great view and the breakfast was pleasant, outside by the pool. The coffee and quality of some of the food could be improved to encourage clients to stay for dinner. It is very closed to the beautiful church of Mellieha and uphill so not for everyone if you don't have a car. It is away from the rest in a residential area, which is what I like. Make sure you check it if you want to stay in a smaller hotel in the village,

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Bora Bora Hotel during festival, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff (Gil is welcoming and friendly) went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Not only did they swiftly address an issue I had, but they also graciously upgraded my room! I will surely be back.

This hotel is not where it needs to be to meet its 4 star standard … after arriving from a very early flight with 2 young children our room was not ready , frustrating but it happens. we then got given a room to get changed in , a baby changing room for 2 adults , 2 kids and 4 suitcases … stressful and hot. We then asked where the restaurants are located so the children could eat to be told our all inclusive package does not start till 3pm . After expressing our frustration we then got offered lunch in the buffet. more confusion when we got there as someone else had used our room number so we waited longer for this to be resolved. even then our room was not ready and when it finally was the floor was soaking and my daughter slipped and hurt herself. we waited for our cases but they never came , 3 hours later they were then delivered. the light on our balcony still does not work (after mentioning this 3 times to reception). the animation team do there best but with there only being two team members it is impossible for them work miracles. there are no children’s shows or kids clubs as such just the odd activity and mini disco at 5pm. no stage area etc. the buffet is repetitive at both breakfast and lunch. we are still here and have enjoyed the ombré restaurant as the food is cooked to order and really nice as are the drinks. The cocktails and drinks are proper , no expense spared on them. the cranes are not great and neither is the noise. our balcony literally has one right in front of us. overall the hotel processes are disconnected and nothing really gets done to correct issues. the staff are doing their best but this is not what we expected from this brand.

This is the second time I have stayed at this very special boutique hotel. The hotel is run extremely well with the staff being friendly and efficient, the food was absolutely delicious and our bed was extremely comfortable with beautifully soft pillows. My one criticism is that there were far too many people visiting the hotel who were not residents. On the Saturday and Sunday it was impossible to get a sun bed around the swimming pool and the guests were extremely noisy. One woman who brought a group of friends had won a day at the hotel. For two hours the group conducted a very loud three way conversation in the pool shouting at the top of their voices and had no respect for the hotel residents at all. This sort of behaviour in a small boutique hotel is unacceptable and not what we expected. Sadly due to the above we probably won’t be coming back. I thought I had found a quiet little gem in the middle of Malta, but it has become so noisy and crowded that it spoilt our weekend.

We always book at gilluru hotel either a weekend break or a day by the pool the food is extremly fresh and very tasty

A pure wonder, on all levels! an historic building renovated with gout and impeccable finishes, all the staff is adorable, beautiful room, swimming pool on the roof of dream and especially for me the restaurant with a super team in kitchen under an extraordinary chef and like in the room a wonderful service worthy of a star Michelin We have to delay our stay for reasons independent of our will but we hope to return soon to this pure paradise on earth

Inhawi is chock-full of digital nomads and students; what this means is that there are a LOT of people staying here long-term, which in turn means that it has a kind of small community / uni atmosphere. The hostel itself is in a brilliant location; the building is beautiful, with big open spaces. It's also super clean and has a really nice kitchen with three (very full!) refrigerators where guests can store food. I would *very* highly recommend getting a room upstairs, as the kitchen / common area gets quite boisterous at night, with people staying up and drinking until the wee hours of the morning. Due to the acoustics, rooms which are right off of the common area are inundated with the laughter and talking of late-night partiers. With a friendly staff, great complimentary breakfast, and clean rooms (and smart layout), I'd stay here again... I would just choose a room which would allow for better sleep.
