We stayed here for three nights and can only compliment the staff and the hotel itself.

Spotlessly clean, good location near the nightlife, yet the room was silent.

Upon arrival we were given lots of local information and offered a welcome drink from the bar. The room had complimentary bottles of water and the mini fridge was empty for your own use. The bed was huge and so comfortable!

The breakfast was really good, cooked options, continental option, cakes, even salad!

All of the staff were very friendly, they are a real asset to the hotel.

I honestly cannot think of a single bad thing to say about this hotel.

Everything about this hotel was fantastic! We came for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave. It’s modern, very covid safe and has beautiful facilities such as the pool rooftop and bar downstairs.

Staff are absolutely wonderful. Esteban was fantastic every morning at breakfast and huge credit to the breakfast staff and chefs. Very covid safe with masks worn around the hotel too. Reception staff are fantastic (I can’t remember who checked us in but he had a beard and glasses and was so kind). The cleaners are fantastic too and again very covid safe.

I loved the rooms - spacious, modern and good bathroom and shower too.
My only suggestion would be to offer sanitising stations in the lift as I’m not sure how often the lift gets sanitised with everyone pressing the buttons. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay. Thank you.

Great staff and very friendly welcome in which you are offered a welcome drink.

Hotel itself is very clean and is in a great location for everything [restaurants/bars]including public transport. You also get 10% off at hotels restaurant 100m away and was very nice.

We booked a superior room which was good size and cleaned very well. Bed was ok but not the most comfortable. We had a free stocked mini bar which was good. To have it replenished was 12 euro pp which was good value.

Emailed hotel prior to stay to ask for a quiet room but got one facing main street and served off the main lift lobby which was noisy from late night revellers/traffic/bin collection etc.

For a hotel of this ranking though the following items were a let down and to match up to other quality establishments should be addressed:

1. Individual toiletries were not replaced throughout our stay even though they had been emptied/fully used. Yes you have the "on the wall" shower gel and hand wash but other items are not replaced ?
2. Printer in the office hub was out of action for our whole stay. No major problem but no sign up to tell you. Its only when you ask reception that you find out.
3. Our bedding was not changed throughout our stay [3 nights]
4. No spare toilet roll so when we ran out had to phone reception to ask for more
5. Breakfast at times could do with more staff as they seemed over run. Two occasions having ordered cappuccino and expresso nothing arrived and you had to remind the waiter.
6. Walls are quite thin and you could hear TV and talking from adjacent rooms as well as from the corridors late at night and early in the morning.

Might sound like nit picking but the above are items I would expect as the norm in top quality/rated hotels.

I am writing this review on the evening before we leave for home in the UK
We have stayed at Hotel Valentina for one week
From the moment we entered reception the service has been exemplary. The hotel is modern, well presented and spotlessly clean. Everyone of the hotel staff we have encountered from reception, bar staff, breakfast staff and cleaning staff have been polite, efficient and eager to please. I cannot fault the service. We stayed half board and took our meals at The Avenue Restaurant, the food has been amazing and the service before the weekend was excellent, since then service has not been quite so good but this restaurant has only been open in this location for a week so some issues whilst bedding in are bound to take place.
Rebecca, Maria and Andrea at the Avenue were delightful and did their level best to ensure we had a good experience but it appeared they had too many tables to serve on at any one time, that said the quality of the food made up for any shortfall.

A very big well done and thank you to all at Hotel Valentina, you were a credit to yourselves and your company and superb ambassadors for Malta.
Thank you

We got a great deal to stay in the hotel for 5 nights on their website. This included a free transfer from the airport which as very handy as we arrived in very late (11.30pm). There was reception staff to check us in and there was no extra fee for late check in etc. The whole hotel was very clean and modernly furnished. The pool area was lovely, very chill with options to order nice cocktails and food. The drinks were very well priced, around 6.60€ for a nice cocktail brought to your lounger or to the pool. We really enjoyed our stay, we would come back again as it was such good value

Exceptional Customer Focused Hotel

We chose Hotel Valentina out of literally hundreds around Malta and for one specific reason, the customer service reviews, which were excellent.

We booked through booking.com (unfortunately as they were cheaper and being a genesis 3 holder, free upgrades too), direct booking would have been over 150 more. However, do look at their rates as they are normally cheaper than external agencies.

On arrival we were given an early check in and the staff were great, confirming our reservation, breakfast times and facilities. There is a lovely business area, chillout area with a nice bar.

The room was very spacious overlooking the town of St Julians, however, a little noisy with all of the construction in the area. Basically there is construction everywhere so it was still the best option.

Absolutely great breakfast with a fantastic selection of cured meats, cerials, fruit, cooked items, drinks and a selection of fresh cakes.

The pool was unfortunately closed during our stay but no doubt it will be open for the summer.

It was my partners birthday and they surprised her with a bottle of Prosecco and it was a super nice gesture, thanks to the staff.

The staff were great, and had a lovely vibe with the guests, a little more personalised thanks to good management from the GM.

Absolutely recommended.

Just had another excellent stay at Hotel Valentina. Set in Paceville in the heart of tourist hot spot St Julians this hotel offers the best of everything. From the very warm welcome at reception and the complimentary drink at the well stocked bar to the fabulously contemporary rooms and dreamy beds. Everywhere in the hotel is spotlessly clean and you will receive a welcome smile from every member of the team. The Breakfast buffet selection is vast and fresh, with special requests like poached eggs prepared specially with a smile. Since our last visit there is now a wonderful infinity swimming pool, terrace area and bar on the top, 8th, floor which the manager very proudly showed us.
This family owned Hotel is highly Recommended for your stay in Malta!

We stayed here during the peak summer season, so although it did seem a little pricey for a 3 star hotel, it was peak season and the quality of the hotel itself is well beyond a 3 star.

The hotel has everything you will need.
The room itself is clean, comfortable and modern with all the amenities required. The interior design is a little on the cheaper side but nothing to really be concerned about.

The rooftop pool area also has a bar and while the pool is small, the whole rooftop has a great vibe and a great place for a quick dip and cocktail in the afternoon.

Service overall was good. Staff were friendly and willing to try and help. We generally stay in four star plus hotels, so there were some things we felt were lacking some examples including body wash in room never being refilled after asking multiple times, air conditioner breaking and needing to move rooms overnight (probably just unlucky) and the safe provided not as secure as it should be.

The breakfast was nice, nothing special but a good variety of options to start the day.

Location was in st Julian’s which is an area of Malta we love and it is close enough to be able to walk everywhere which was an added bonus.

Due to our early flight we arrived at the hotel at 11.30am and when we asked if we could leave our luggage and go to the pool they let us know our room was ready and we could check in!!! 4 hours early! Amazing

The reception area had a plastic screen and staff were always in masks so very COVID-19 safe.

The pool was amazing with vanishing edges on both sides. There were lots of sun loungers and umbrellas. Only one very busy day did we come up late and there was nowhere to sit.

Wifi very good, lots of English speaking TV channels.

RECOMMEND!
