August 10, 2022 Jasper Kershner

Saint Julian's is a popular vacation spot on the coast of Malta. The small town successfully blends its fishing village charm with its tourist center. Latin architecture, such as Spinola Palace, built in 1688, and the Old Parish Church are popular historical sites. Divers will enjoy exploring shipwrecks via the Divewise Center.  The renovated Paceville district, a former military haunt in the 1930s, is now the hub of Saint Julian's nightlife with an array of restaurants, bars, and clubs.

Stunning Massive Hotel!!!

Had such a wonderful and beautiful stay. Large rooms and great amenities. Swimming pool, bar service, staff, everyone was great and could not help enough! Nearby is the Casino which is just awesome! I did not try all the restaurants as they were closed. Highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was lovely and a good spread. Only gripe is that you have to pay for Wifi! Unless in the lobby area it is free. Found that rather odd. Had a lovely massage too!

Faultless customer service!

Reviewed By sophie_heleina

FABULOUS hotel, can’t fault anything. Haven’t experienced such a high level of customer service in a long time. All the staff had smiles on their faces and were more than happy to help with anything. Allison (Director of Housekeeping) was very engaging and made her staff and the guests happy to be there. Highly recommend to anyone, and would definitely go back if in Malta.

Hotel Juliani

Hotel Juliani, a 4 star hotel, is Malta's small design boutique hotel enviably located in the heart of Spinola Bay, St Julian's. In fact, you're never more than 25 minutes away from most parts of the island, including the beautiful baroque capital of Valletta. Originally a traditional seafront townhouse, the Juliani has been meticulously converted to provide 47 rooms, an intimate setting and very personalised service to its guests. Today it remains a family-run establishment committed to ensuring you feel at home and well looked after. Each hotel room offers excellent facilities, fresh Mediterranean decor and plenty of space. Many also boast unobstructed sea views, and you will be able to watch the colourful fishing boats bobbing on the water from the comfort of your balcony or the rooftop swimming pool. Meanwhile, as a cosmopolitan commercial and entertainment district, St Julian's surrounds you with many of the best restaurants, bars, conference centres, casinos, health spas and shops that Malta has to offer.

Beautiful hotel, great location and lovely staff!

We spent the most wonderful honey moon in St. Juliani hotel! It's a beautiful boutique hotel with the best restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The hotel's manager and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we entered. We were even greeted with the celebratory glass of champagne, which we thought was a nice touch. The rooftop swimming pool is gorgeous, clean and it wasn't crowded at all. In the evening it turns into a cocktail bar with delicious drinks and nibbles. The rooms are clean, air-conditioned and spacious. Great breakfast too. If you're thinking about booking the room with the sea view, do it, you won't regret it! The view at Spinola Bay is stunning! I've done a lot of research before I booked the hotel and I can honestly say it was the perfect choice. W can't wait to be back!

Stay at Holiday Inn Express St. Julians

Reviewed By atmbee

We (myself and my father) visited Malta for the first time in May 2022 and stayed for 7 nights in this hotel. The hotel is located in the vibrant and lively part of St. Julians (nightlife and party area), which we were not really aware of before we booked. The first night was a shock for us that where have we landed as my aged father and I are not party animals. The disco beats pierced through the walls of our room till 3AM the morning. The very next morning we brought this to the attention of the reception staff and were told that though they wanted to help us but were unable to shift us to a quieter area as the hotel was fully booked. After some time, the manager, Mr. Mark Brownrigg, came to our room and tried to understand our side of the story and was really willing to find a solution to our problem. Eventually he came back again and offered that we would be able to move the following day to the quieter side of the hotel where there was no street sound and was also gracious enough to offer us 50% discount for the first two nights, to which we agreed as it was almost impossible to find another hotel in the vicinity as they were fully booked. Mr. Brownrigg personally inquired a couple of hotels if it was possible for us to move to a quieter location on the island, a wonderful manager and a very nice human being. Further during our stay of 7 days, we had a wonderful time in this hotel, particularly the breakfast staff in the morning was so welcoming and kind. We met Mr. Saviour, a gentleman in his 70’s and still working there who made each and every guest feel as if they were his personal guests, so loving and so kind and did everything possible to make the breakfast time, a time to remember for the rest of your life. Not only he, there was also Mr. Mario, equally kind and helpful and ever ready to serve. We would certainly recommend this hotel if you are in Malta, the rooms are well furnished, clean and new. Only make sure that while booking to request a room in the quieter area of the hotel.

To avoid if you want to get your rest, not professional

Reviewed By davidhO5270UT

Avoid this hotel if you want to get your rest. It’s in the center of all the bars, disco’s with loud musique until 3 or 4 am. You try to sleep with the music in background… that said, to be fair, my fault, I haven’t seen it was the case before booking. The hot water in bath, shower and Jacuzzi is yellow! Did not want to use it at the end of the day while I’ve booked a room With a jacuzzi to take the advantage of it…! I complained to the manager but no news from them since I left the hotel (except if I’v me missed something). He was supposed to come back to me with a proposition…

Fantastic Stay with amazing staff!

Intercontinental Malta Amazing hotel! We visited the intercontinental for my partners birthday and they did not disappoint at all! We had access to the club lounge and perks of lounge members and were thoroughly impressed. The selection of drinks and food was great, and the service was amazing. A huge shout out to Amit, Phanindra and Bertille for the incredible and memorable service you provided us across our stay. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, well equipped and incredibly luxurious. We enjoy interior design and the spec of the hotel was very impressive and modern. The club lounge staff were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check out a little later than planned. Don’t be put off by building work as you may read from other reviews. There is building work happening almost everywhere in Malta, it can’t be avoided unfortunately but the intercontinental facilities are private and sound proof meaning you can avoid loud noises better than most other places!
