"The staff at the hotel were very polite and helpful. The hotel was very clean, in the rooms and public areas.
Breakfast choice was excellent, with a wide variety of food to choose from."
"Stayed 3 nights, all went well, comfy room. Helpful underground parking for our rental car. There's a big construction site behind the hotel, new hotel/hotels going up. Rooms facing sea aren't affected, those facing street are a bit. It's not the hotel's fault. Nice outside pool, but we just stayed on the sunbeds /umbrellas at the sea (access to swim via short metal ladders). Better than the nearby sand beach. Satisfying all you can eat breakfast with lots of choices"
"We had a great stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, especially with the beautiful waterfront view from the balcony. It was wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
The room was comfortable, clean, and served its purpose well. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with any questions we had.
The hotel offered free Wi-Fi, which was appreciated, but it was a bit annoying that we had to log in again every time our phone locked or disconnected. It wasn't a major issue, but it could definitely be more convenient.
The only downside was the complimentary breakfast. After trying it on the first day, we decided not to use it again as the quality was disappointing.
The hotel is conveniently located near the ferry terminal, making it easy to visit Valetta and other nearby destinations. It was also a short and inexpensive Uber ride to other cities and attractions in the area.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for its excellent location, beautiful views, convenient access to transportation, and outstanding staff."
"Great stay overall. The room was modern with plenty of outlets and charging options for devices. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and made for a great night’s sleep. The shower—it had excellent water pressure and felt luxurious. I would happily stay here again."
"The hotel itself is very nice, and the rooms are exceptionally clean. However, there were a few important issues that we were not informed about in advance.
Our room was on the 4th floor, but the windows and balcony overlooked the reception area located on the 3rd floor. Because of this, all the noise from the reception carried directly into the room. The phone at reception rang very frequently, and conversations could also be heard.
This was not much of a problem during the day since we were usually out, but in the evening it was difficult to fall asleep. The sound insulation is very poor, and any noise from the reception area was clearly audible in the room. Opening the balcony door made the situation even worse, as the noise became very loud.
Another issue was the complete lack of natural sunlight in the room. This would have been understandable if the room overlooked an internal courtyard, but that was not the case. The room felt dark all the time, both during the day and at night, almost as if you were staying in a basement. It made the room feel quite closed in and less comfortable to spend time in.
If you decide to stay at this hotel, I strongly recommend asking in advance where your room will be located and whether it overlooks the reception area. Apart from these issues, the hotel was clean, modern, and well maintained."
"Great hotel and setting is amazing but attention to details with guest services needs work , we had 2 rooms , one of the rooms air con wasn’t working properly and smelt bad I raised this twice with them but nothing was done , also on the day of check out we received a letter under our door welcoming us to the hotel and mentioning that we can claim a free bottle of house wine during our stay , but only receiving this letter on the morning of check out meant we couldn’t use the offer , I asked to remove another drink from the bill but they were unable to do so , they offered the wine to take away but not something I could have done as was literally about to leave for the airport .
Food was great , restaurant staff were great and friendly it’s just the little things that spoilt it a little , otherwise rating would have been higher"
"Things to note before travel:
€5 tax on check-in
€2 (deposit) per refillable glass
€10 (deposit) per towel
Luggage is not taken to the room for you.
The hotel do offer a buffet for people checking in/arriving late evening.
We were travelling with 2 young children, the kids loved the pools and happily spent most of their time there. The kids disco was bit too late in the evening for them. The kids food was literally chicken nuggets and chips but we always found something for them to eat in the buffet.
If you can - book the restaurants before you arrive. We waited until they were released for booking in the hotel and bookings were gone within an hour.
Staff were mostly friendly with 1 manager being a bit rude. I was waiting in line for a lady to help me, when it came to my turn he came over and told her to go elsewhere. I asked him about booking salia and he told me it was all booked while walking away, it wasn't, I got a lunchtime booking.
Our air conditioning was not working properly. I complained saturday morning, someone came to fix it on sunday, my husband complained on Monday and was told that it was a know issue and maintenance were looking into it. I did report this on check out. The lady at checkout did apologise for the inconvenience.
Overall good location and kids had a lovely half term break."
"The Solana is a fantastic hotel.
The staff were lovely and incredibly helpful - advising us what buses to get and where from (as the regular stops were temporarily closed), as well as advising us of all local discounts.
Check in and check out were simple and deficient.
The swimming pools on the roof were well maintained and have fantastic views of Mellieha,
The breakfast buffet had am excellent choice of food and the service was exemplary.
If you are staying in Mellieha and want to stay near the town centre, I would thoroughly recommend the Solana Hotel and Spa"
