The staff was very friendly and helpful. Dining was convenient and quantuty was good. Will say food was a little bland. My only real complaint was the hill that gad to be negotiated wgen heading for the bus and the distance to the beach. Pool was nice. A hot tub would be a giod addition. When construction is done it will be even better.

This hotel for me was In a great location, the price was excellent for a week’s stay. The pool and outdoor restaurant were really good. I did have breakfast once and it was 10 euro and it had a great selection of food and drinks. All the staff I met and interacted with were amazing. The only negative I’d have to say is the comfort of the beds, I even asked other guests to ensure it wasn’t just my room, but the mattress’s are horrible, I mean if your out all day and want a good nights sleep, you won’t get it. Luckily I had two beds in my room and being a solo traveler I took all the bedding plus my extra bathroom towels and put them down on top of the mattress to make it a little more bearable. Anyways besides the bad beds everything else was great here.

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!

The location is great with the bus stops, view, convenient store, and quick food options like eeetwell! The staff was kind & hotel was also fine. The room I had was okay, no view, but everything functioned. I didn't check out the pool or their meal options, but basic English breakfast was offered for €10. They also allowed baggage storage. It was good for my 1 night stay.

This was a 1 night stay only! The rooms were very ‘tired’! In need of a full refurbishment! Room we was offered was not what was shown on the website. There was no plug sockets next to the bed, which I needed for my apnoea machine…All furnishings look years old (doors, baths, those with kitchenettes, balcony furniture etc) We was moved to another room which did have sockets next to the bed (as shown on the website), the room looked like it had perhaps recently been poorly painted, but again all furnishings really do need replacing. The bed was really firm, but for me that was comfortable, so I did have a good nights sleep. Although we didn’t use it, the ‘nature reserve’ pool & bar area opposite for guest use did look very inviting. There are no tea/coffee provisions, but the rooms do have a kettle & fridge. Could not fault the staff and Joana on reception was extremely helpful, as was the morning reception staff. Buffet breakfast was very basic, with only 2 cereal options, no alternative milk/bread options & a no frills hot option English style breakfast.

It’s a great budget hotel and the rooms have been renovated but don’t expect the ritz. We needed somewhere to base and get some sleep and it did the job well for us. The maids came in daily if required and the rooms were not dirty but they were also not spotless (there was a squashed mosquito on the wall when we arrived which was not removed). They did let us check in early though so this may have been due to rushing getting the room cleaned for us early. The beds were comfy enough and there were extra pillows in the cupboard. The shower did the job but there was not much pressure. We were on the top floor (6th) and this room had a large balcony which was nice to sit out on in the evening. The drinks at the pool bar were a little expensive especially considering the cost of the hotel (they sold cans of Cisk for around €7 when at the bottom of the road there is a cafe that sells pints of draught Cisk for €4.50). The food at the pool was more reasonable and looked good. I had a pizza one day which was basic but did the job for €9 The staff were always friendly and said hello and goodbye with a smile. The pool itself is a really good size and could (with some money put into it) be an amazing space, but it looks like it was built in the 80s and now looks dated and a little run down. Again it was nice for a dip and I wouldn’t call it dirty. It was very cold though but luckily the weather was warm so it was ok to cool down. If you want something basic, this hotel is fine

I booked a very basic room, I stayed from 29Jan to 1Feb 2026 (narrowly missing the storm that hit Malta the week before) The automatic heating timer was no ideal, as it got very cold at night and the room was cold. The breakfast was not worth it, would recommend to go to a local cafe that will be better and worth the price! The location of the hotel is amazing, as soon as you leave you a greeted with an amazing view of the Mediterranean sea Overall an Okay experience of the hotel, the staff were nice, (limited interactions with them) I did not try the bar or other amenities of the hotel, (I want to go back to Malta again during May or September to truly experience the islands, I will book this hotel again (decent price) and review in the future

The staff were excellent, on our first night the TVs were not working properly and one member of staff came to our room and spent half an hour resetting the channels and even went and found extra remote controls as there was only 1 in the room for 3 TVs, this despite the fact he was actually heading home when I went to the front desk and asked for assistance. All of the staff were super helpful. The rooms were very clean and we were able to choose when they were cleaned during the stay. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. The rooms were a good size, and it was great to have a kitchen area and a living room area, but although both rooms had small balconies, only one actually faced the outside of the hotel, the other facing into a wall which meant that the living area and one of the bedrooms were quite dark, even during the day. The patio area that did face the outside of the hotel was lovely though, it overlooked a busy little cafe and we enjoyed sitting and watching the world go by. We had plenty of pillows and towels and the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for showers etc. Shower gel and hand wash were also provided. Breakfast was a bit repetitive, but there was plenty and the hot drinks were very good! The pool area was great, with plenty of sunbeds and an attached restaurant for lunch/dinner and a great cocktail happy hour.
