Top Fort St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

The Embassy Valletta Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was funky but not too much. Absolutely fantastic restaurant and bar on the top floor where we had drinks and dinner. The staff was impeccable and nothing was ever too much trouble. We had particularly superb service from Lucia in the restaurant who helped us and our parents so much. Very generous. We also say a big thanks to Alexandre (we hope we spelled that right). He was also showed us boundless attention. Generally though the staff were friendly, engaging and really finished off a superb experience. Finally amazing restaurant and breakfast! Thanks"

Azur Hotel by ST Hotels

8/10 Good

"L’hôtel est très bien situé, proche de restaurants, bars ou magasins de tout genre. Le personnel est gentil et les chambres sont propres. Le petit déjeuner est acceptable."

1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and lovely hotel. All you need for a chilled week away with great access to local bars and restaurants"

Novotel Malta Sliema

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very poor, and I could not access the rooftop pool as there was no bar to hold on to and I have a knee issue. With that being said I could not fault the rest of the hotel and our room hit a hit tub on the balcony which was amazing."

Barceló Fortina Malta

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located on a very busy main strip that's close to the bay, night life bars and restaurants. The area is surrounded by pretty people from all over the world and it gets very crowded. There's a couple of supermarkets nearby for groceries. We booked the half sea view and it was gorgeous. The pool is shallow about waist deep only while main pool is about chest level. You would need reservations for a sunbed booked in advanced. Cons-Not quite the hotel's fault, but the design of the shower door is only covering half the tub so water is sprinkled all over the floor when you take a shower. I just get a bunch of pool towels from downstairs and use it to soak up the water. Also, they have extremely loud music playing from across the other island of Valetta that you can hear the thumping loud music (not hotel's fault) and this music plays well into 3-4AM. Even with the balcony doors shut, you can feel the vibration of the music permeating through the glass. Overall, it's a good solid stay if you can drown out the loud music from the other side of the island and get a bunch of pool towels to soak up shower water spilling over."

Palazzo Ignazio

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect. The room was spacious with lots of hanging and storage space. Excellent shower. Magnificent views from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast choices were plentiful with fresh eggs cooked to your preference. We have been recommending this hotel to all our friends and family."

Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really great location so easy to get to every where we wanted to go. Desk staff very friendly and helpful. Smallish room but had everything. Clean and really good shower. Lotion, shampoo, conditioner and water replenished every day. Breakfast area a little cramped but breakfast itself was small but tasty."

Melior Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our hotel was spacious clean and tidy and easy accessible via Starbucks which had fab A/C after being in the hot sun. We would stay there again as it’s in the heart of most amenities such as ferry port and bus station."

San Karlu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"San Karlu is an excellent hotel. The location is perfect and Republic Street is just a few minutes away. The hotel is located off a road down a wide alley so you can get a taxi to very close to the hotel and the street is very safe and well lit at night. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotless when we checked in and cleaned thoroughly every day. The room we had looked over the courtyard/alley below. Breakfast was good quality. The best feature of the hotel was the rooftop pool. We were there in September and it was very hot, so the pool was wonderful and appeared new (also very clean and well maintained). It really made the hotel worth the five stars."
