"We had an amazing week’s stay in Hotel Valentina. Everything from the lobby to the bathrooms were immaculate and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only small thing I would have changed was longer opening hours of the rooftop pool and bar. It was a shame it closed at 6pm though this may reflect the off-season visit being that it was October. All-in-all an overwhelmingly positive experience. We had breakfast one of the mornings and there was plenty of variety from continental to cooked breakfast. Thank you Hotel Valentina for our amazing stay! Highly recommend to others visiting"
"Fantastic location. Walked from the hotel to Valletta. Hotel staff were amazing and helped us organise tours, taxis etc. Everything we needed. The evening reception they invited us to was lovely and it was great to meet the staff team in a relaxed environment. We’ll definitely be going back to the Marriott and Malta. So much more to see and do. 😎"
"Room was cleaned every day. View from the balcony was amazing just a tiny bit small to maneuver around it. Staff were lovely. Ideal location in shopping mall with lots of shops and places to eat. Right opposite Paceville. Will definitely go back!"
"Wow what a beautiful hotel .
We celebrated our mini moon there and was looked after by all staff and even got a lovely surprise in the room once checked in . We went half board and food was amazing lots of choice even though Buffett style and different theme each night .
Pool area was clean and relaxing ."
"Really cannot fault this resort. Beautiful setting, great location, such helpful and attentive staff and great food. All-in-all an excellent half-term October week’s holiday."
"We stayed in October as a family of 2 adults and 1 one year old.
We knew the hotel was right in the centre of a buzzing nightlife area and expected some noise, but we couldn't hear anything from outside the hotel! Up until about midnight, the sound of people returning from nights out was loud inside the hotel as the hallways are tile and not carpeted - again we expected this, and can't be helped with the hotels location - but do consider if you have kids.
The room was spacious with a double bed and 2 singles. We needed a cot which arrived within 15 minutes of asking reception. The bathroom was functional but had a couple of small maintenance issues. The balcony was huge and had two sunbeds.
Reception staff were pleasant and efficient. Pool area was clean and had plenty of space. Located right on top of ample bars, cafes and souvenir shops. Bus stops for main attractions and direct buses to airport only a few minutes walk too. 10 minutes walk to St George's bay, if that.
No frills stay, which we expected but we paid very little so would stay again if we needed somewhere cheap, clean and well connected! Excellent if you want lots of food/drink options around you."
