This hotel was very comfortable - it had strong wifi and was good value for the money (it even has a rooftop pool and GOOD AC). In general, i didnt like the area though - overcrowded with tiny streets, it was stressful to walk around

Bon séjour dans un hôtel plutôt neuf. Dommage de ne pas avoir de fenêtre dans notre chambre.
Petit déjeuner correct.
Situé dans une zone très festive de Malte. Le quartier vit la nuit. Les plages à proximité ne sont pas du tout intéressante. Il vaut mieux prendre le bus pour changer de zone.
Très bien desservi en bus.

Nice hotel close to centre of st Julian's

The hotel was clean modern and nice with friendly helpful staff. My only criticism is there are building works going on opposite the hotel which makes for a difficult nights sleep. However it is not something the hotel has control over so I can't justifiably mark them down over this.

I would recommend this hotel, the dinner suggestions the gentlemen at the front desk organised for us were fantastic.

It was an interesting experience finding the hotel at first, our cab driver dropped off us at the wrong hotel. Besides that it was comfortable, just be prepared if you're traveling with a friend to have your beds very close together haha.

Parking

Lovely clean hotel. Friendly staff. Good location if you are a tourist and want a central location. Building work opposite but not a problem just not the view we expected. Must admit it was very interesting watching work in progress and everyone trying to find a place to park. Parking is terrible. After we got back to the hotel late afternoon and eventually found a parking space we never moved the car again until after breakfast the next day. We just hope that no parking fines arrive in the post. The rooms vary in size, ours was large enough with a balcony but the shower room was really small.

Comfortable and quiet

Friendly modern clean hotel near the bay and myriad bars and restaurants. Room was quite large with a safe, fridge and kettle and very good air conditioning. Shower was also good. Staff very helpful. Breakfast was ok. Quite a range of food but mediocre quality. Our room was at the back, no view but nice and quiet. Bed was comfy enough. Only complaint was we asked for a double and got a twin but there were no guarantees on that anyway.

Good location but basic room

Really good location within walking distance of St julians restaurants and opposite bus stop which you can take to Valletta and to airport. However room itself was basic - there was a kettle however bring own tea/ coffee if required. Beds were not very comfy was too soft and well used - could feel the bedsprings and the carpets could do with a good clean aswell. The bathroom was the only thing that was refurbished with modern shower.

Good Bang for your money

The spinola hotel is located just steps from the major road with good access to transit. The hotel is in good condition, and the rooms were well kept. The true strength of this hotel is the staff. All the staff were helpful and pleasant. Specific thanks to Aliyana who made our stay enjoyable and helped us with many recommendations and directions. The only slight negative is the bar up the street gets quite noisy on the weekend, on the weekday it was fine. So if you are a light sleeper keep this in mind. The breakfast buffet is decent, with a good selection every morning. Would stay at again next time I am in Malta.

Comfortable simple hotel, central location

Enjoyed our stay! A no frills hotel but location and Desk staff were the best. Always smiling, welcoming& offering assistance. Contacted them in advance via email, quick to respond & offer advice. The hotel is in a renovated older building up a side street off the main road, which makes the rooms quite as you don't hear the noise from the main street. Depends on room category you book but some of the rooms have decks, views of the neighbourhood not water but good to catch some sun& enjoy the fresh air w/a glass of wine. Breakfast is a small spread but had breads, meat, cheese, yogurt, fruit, easy to find something to start your day. There is no wifi in rooms only in lobby, worked fine for us but slow at night when other guests logging on. Location wise, the hotel is around the corner from the better restaurants, close to Hilton and 5 minute walk to the clubs and bars in Paceville. The bus stops at the foot of the street which is 2 euro to Valetta and Silemma Only complaint was the sheets, they were not long enough when sharing the bed, we ended up grabbing a blanket out of closet so one of us could use the blanket and the other the sheet. If you are looking for a hotel that provides many services/amenities this place is not a fit but if you want a comfortable, simple, clean, modern place that is located close to the action and at a great rate, then you will find value & be happy here.

Not all facilities are ready yet

Just got back from Spinola hotel,it is located in a really good postion right near bars and places to eat, but is is not noisy,booked a room with a balcony but when we got there we didn't have one, went to front desk and it was put right with no problems, the front desk people were all lovely helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and fresh, a couple of things that weren't so good, the hotel is still being refurbished so there is no bar or anywhere to sit if your not in your room, the breakfast is very basic continental with the same few items everyday, but overall a good stay and front desk staff made the stay delightful.

Spinola hotel st julians malta

Very impressed with hotel - very clean, fabulous, very helpful staff, excellent location, very handy to get around by public transport / on foot, etc. Just a note that you may get an internal room (with no windows), if you pick the cheapest price, as the executive rooms are the ones with balcony / view etc. Staff were very accommodating and we were able to change rooms within a day or so. Would recommend. Only downside - no pool, but arrangement with nearby hotel.

Great hotel for everybody!

Service was superb with a good breakfast friendly staff and clean comfortable rooms. Location wise St Julian is great, walking along the waterfront is lovely with plenty of places to eat, relax and swim. We used the local bus system to get around the island with a week bus pass there is a bus stop just down the road from the hotel which has buses that bring you pretty much anywhere, if you plan to go to a tourist location eg Valletta, Gozo or Comino get up a bit earlier to beat the rush as the buses are often full later. Had a great time!

The Hotel Spilola

The hotel staff were polite and very professional at all times. They were very helpful in offering advise and assistance on shopping and travel advice. We chose this hotel on the reviews stating that this hotel had been refurbished. We were not disappointed with the quality of the refurbishment. Although it is in a popular area for holidaymakers the location is very quite. The room we stayed in was free from noise from the other occupants which was a big plus for us.

Genuinely felt living in the heart of the city with the amount of restaurants just around the corner. A shop is open until 2:30am across the road so location was very good.

Great hotel in a great location

Stayed eight days in April 2015. Nice clean bright room for a very good price. Breakfast was ncluded. Situated in the heart of St. Julian's makes it easy to get around. Bus routes are exceptionally easy and that was how we got from place to place. Hop On Hop Off vendor across the road. There is a promenade that goes along the water for miles, all the way past Sliema. Friendly staff who go out of their way for you. If you like the nightlife. Paceville is just around the corner. There is even a market across the street.

Hotel ist sauber, scheint in den letzten Jahren renoviert worden zu sein. Für ein 3-Sterne Hotel damit akzeptabel. Liegt sehr gut in St. Julians in der Innenstadt.

\"Inte det värsta hotell jag bott på\"

Ett bra läge ovanför Spinola Bay. Sovrumsdelen var rent, bra daglig städning och bäddning. Tyvärr var badrummet litet, dåligt planerat, mögligt i duschen, duschslangen trasig och handfatet tömdes inte ordentligt.
Frukosten var trist. Det fanns vitt rostbröd, brunt rostbröd och något inhemskt som var färdiguppskuret och hemskt torrt. På en ö med så gott bröd var det en besvikelse! Utöver fanns lite grönsaker, ost/salami, marmelad, melon, vita bönor, äggröra (god!), korv, flingor och portionsyoghurt. Hade önskat ett större utbud av bröd, kokta ägg och härliga maltesiska apelsiner!
Detta sagt, skulle vi bo där igen? Ja, om priset är rätt!

Ruhige Lage aber sehr nah an den Bushaltestellen

Alle Hotelpersonnel sind freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. In der Nähe eine tolle Auswahl von teueren und guenstigen Restaurants. Mit eine 7-Day BusTravel ticket (21 EU) kann man überall auf Malta und auf Gozo fahren. Malta leidet sehr unter schwerem Verkehr, also lieber kein Auto mieten,sonst steht man nur im Verkehrstau. Man kann mit dem Taxi fahren für gute Tarife. Die Fahrer werden quasi Stadtführer, was auch schön ist.

Buona posizione, il resto da migliorare

Avendo scelto la sistemazione più costosa, il panorama dalla stanza era ottimo. Però nella stanza c'era il bollitore per il caffè, ma il caffè avremmo dovuto comprarcelo noi. Era previsto un ristorante presso l'albergo, del quale non abbiamo visto ombra. Nel complesso ci è sembrato che volessero risparmiare su tutto, il rapporto qualità/prezzo al di sotto delle aspettative.

Piccolo Hotel efficente e con un ottima posizione

Hotel posizionato vicino alla fermata dei bus, sul lungomare di St Giulian (Spinola Bay). Ideale per girare l'isola restando fuori dal caos del traffico e della movida. Vicinissimo ad una baia facile da ammirare anche dalla stessa camera dell'albergo.Personale molto disponibile e professionale, colazione un po' scarsa dal lato dei dolci molto fornita sul salato, come classico per cultura inglese. La posizione strategica permette di essere vicini alla bellissima baia di Portomaso ed alla strepitosa movida di Paceville. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per un tre stelle
