Choosing the right arrival point for Floriana depends heavily on whether your journey is local to the Maltese archipelago or international. For most visitors, Malta International Airport (MLA) is the only practical choice; it is the only airport located on the island itself and offers seamless, affordable transit into the city center. While the remaining airports are not in Floriana, they serve as strategic gateways for travelers visiting the wider Mediterranean region. Catania–Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) in Sicily is a major international hub that handles a high volume of regional traffic; travelers landing here must account for a significant ferry or flight connection to reach Malta. Similarly, Comiso Airport (CIY) and Lampedusa Airport (LMP) provide smaller-scale regional connectivity within Italy. Unless you are specifically touring eastern Sicily or the Pelagie Islands, these secondary options offer little convenience for reaching Floriana compared to the direct access provided by MLA. Practical travel tip: Always prioritize direct flights to Malta to avoid the logistics of cross-border transfers.

While the hotel has certainly seen better days, we still enjoyed a comfortable 3-day stay. We were looking for a location close to the city's main attractions and a nice outdoor pool, and the hotel delivered perfectly on both counts. The hotel's private beach option is also a big plus, and the overall poolside service was excellent. Our room was spacious – I believe it would also be ideal for extended stays – with ample storage, a comfortable desk, an armchair, a table, and a balcony furnished with a table and chairs. The room's excellent soundproofing was particularly important to us.
However, there were a few downsides:
1. We strongly advise against booking the room with breakfast. While there appeared to be a wide selection, nothing was truly noteworthy. The products were of very poor quality and heavily processed, including terrible white bread with no dark or wholemeal options. The cold cuts looked distinctly unappetizing (also heavily processed), and the powdered egg dishes were tragic. Even the fruit was either tasteless or from a can. Our daily saviors ended up being plain boiled eggs, tomatoes, and lettuce ;) We significantly overpaid and wasted considerable time queuing in the breakfast room. Given the chance, we would definitely skip it next time, head out for sightseeing earlier, and use the budget for breakfast in town or an early lunch.
2. Security Deposit – It's been two weeks since our stay ended, and the hotel still hasn't refunded our security deposit. We didn't incur any in-room charges, yet the hotel is still holding onto our funds. Contacting the hotel hasn't resolved the issue, and we are still awaiting the refund. For a 7-night stay, the deposit would amount to 350 euros, which I believe is a significant sum for many people.FromUS$198

Вообще на Мальте не возможно нормально поспать... уехала из St Julians (потому что там орала музыка) в Валету, но и тут не получилось: даже ночью стреляют пушки или салюты, аж трясутся стены.. но и это ещё не всё.. в этой гостинице дребезжит кондиционер..он хрустит, скрипит, пищит, издаёт разные звуки, на температуре 23, спать просто не возможно..
Гостиница неплохая, хорошее месторасположение, на первый взляд и номера, но состояние требует улучшений... например, стены возле кондиционера...или проржавелый чайник..или плоходержащееся сиденье на унитазе..или отсутствие минибара (холодильника...) Сделайте что-нибудь, пожалуйста...FromUS$135
