★★★★★ Perfect Stay at Hotel Valentina – A True Gem in Malta

I recently spent a wonderful week at Hotel Valentina and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived until we left, every part of our stay was absolutely excellent.
The hotel is perfectly situated – right in the heart of St Julian’s, just a short walk from the lively seafront, restaurants, bars and public transport links. It’s easy to explore all of Malta from here, yet the hotel remains peaceful and quiet, so you get the best of both worlds.
Our room was spotlessly clean, modern and beautifully decorated. It was spacious, with a very comfortable bed, great air conditioning, and all the amenities we needed.The bathroom was modern and well-maintained, with plenty of hot water and fresh towels provided daily. Housekeeping did an outstanding job keeping everything perfect throughout our stay. Every single member of staff was friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful while the restaurant and bar staff were attentive and polite at all times. Nothing was too much trouble for them – they made us feel like valued guests from the very first minute.
The rooftop pool area is stunning – beautifully kept, with plenty of sun loungers but can got busy! You must go to avenue restaurant (brilliant food )and hotel giving discount as well 10%

Hotel was nice but in a very busy area. There was a lot of building work going on nearby and a lot of cranes about etc but there was surprisingly no noise from the works when you were at the rooftop bar. Can’t really fault the hotel for building work going on near by.

Hotel was clean, in a good location for nightlife and the beach. The air con in the room was very good.

Overall a decent hotel.

I stayed for one night and the room was adequately cleaned. I saw hair on the walls in the bathroom and stains on the bedding. I think a 3 star rating is befitting of the hotel. Food was left outside a room for more than 12 hours. The staff were incredibly helpful and the hotel smells lovely. It was a last minute booking but I doubt I’ll return.

The hotel was very nice, clean and rooms were nicely appointed for the price. Good value. Our first time in Malta and didn't realize how much of a party town St. Julians is, which isn't really what we were wanting. Nights and early mornings were noisy with partying outside. However, that was not the hotel and the hotel itself was very nice.

It is a nice hotel and generally a good stay. However, our first room was very noisy and it was almost impossible to sleep. I asked to change the room and the staff kindly moved us, but we were charged because they said we had booked an economy room and that changing the room meant upgrading to a higher category.

A great place to stay. The staff were all genuinely really lovely: helpful, courteous and polite.

The bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The waiting area was spacious and comfortable and the reception bar staff checked if we wanted anything.

My only criticism, it would be nice if when the room was cleaned that they swapped out the tea and coffee sachets, milk pods etc. As per the discount given for not receiving room service every day, I only received room cleaning once and a few extra teabags would've been nice. Even on the days I didn't ask for cleaning I received a bag of towels and toiletries at the door though so that was nice.

As of 21/06/2026 the was a building site across the street that started work at 8am but this isn't the hotel's fault and unfortunately much of Malta has a good chance of the same.

Overall a great place to stay. Clean, comfortable, very central and best of all great staff.

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is building work near the hotel but this is out of their control. The rooms are spacious and super clean with a beautiful design. The balcony had a lovely view however was a little small but this isn't an issue for us.
The room came with both AC & a fan which is a must for 30 degree weather.
All staff are extremely helpful and helped with luggage storage for our bags after checkout (with a ticketing system! Such a simple yet effective system).
The pool area is beautiful and sun lounges double up as seating for late night visits to the pool area - with a bar :)
The lifts are keycard activated and there's security at the front door to help keep out riff raff.
We also ordered room service and my girlfriend is still going on about how good the apple juice was. The food was delightful - our first time getting room service. Unfortunately I can't speak for the restaurant as we didn't eat here but I assume it would be just as good. The restaurant also has a lovely view over the front lounge.
Being in the heart of St Julians, we were worried about loud parties, etc however the sound isolation was superior and we had no issues with this our whole stay.
Overall I'm happy we spent the little bit extra per night to stay here over some of the cheaper options (The reviews speak for themselves)
What a fantastic experience.

Good, but for noise.

The hotel is really nice and modern, in a great central location. Room was spotless, the bed was super comfy, and the shower was great. The pool area looks fantastic too and is a nice spot to relax.

That said, a few things did take away from the stay. The pool itself was cold, which was a shame. Noise was a big issue — loud rooftop music until 11pm on weekends, and then construction work next door kicking off at 7am with lots of banging, so sleep was pretty tough. Also, you’re not allowed to bring your room towel to the pool, and instead have to pick up a pool towel from reception and leave a €10 deposit, which just felt like a bit of a hassle.

Overall, it’s a clean, comfortable, and well-located hotel, but the noise and a couple of little annoyances definitely made it less relaxing than I’d hoped.

If you are not in Malta to party, be aware!

The hotel is very nice but I think it is worth warning future bookers of the location of the place. It is in St Julian which is the “party” area near Valletta. So if that is what you want, you’ll love it, but if you are after a quiet hotel to enjoy Malta, not so much. It was noisy at night and had poor sleep with party goers coming back early morning screaming, laughing and shouting in the corridor and lots of noise until 6-7am from the bars outside the hotel. Had 3 nights and slept poorly each of them. We shared that comment with other guests like us, who didn’t realise it was a party area in Malta. Hotel itself is very nice and staff are lovely. So if you plan to travel for partying, it will be perfect, otherwise, find a different place.

Well appointed hotel and professional staff. The area is convenient to transport and shopping at the Mercury Center; however the proximity to the ordinary and overcrowded St Julian area is deplorable! No redeeming value of the cheap & ordinary tourism which radiates to the area. Would not go back to Malta! Its history is the crossroads of civilizations; but it’s not attracting the best class of visitors.

Staff were friendly and hotel was nice. We had a mattress topper on our bed that kept sliding off and you could see through the sheet that it wasn’t the cleanest. Our shower was also full of hairs but other than that cleanliness was good. Breakfast was lovely and the pool area was nice. I would say though we were on the 6th floor and we got woken up several times a night by drunk people shouting outside and then each morning at 7am by builders working on a hotel roof over the road. Overall the stay was ok but unfortunately we wouldn’t stay in this area again.

Really clean hotel and very modern facilities and very well located for the island. Free secure parking a nice touch. The bar was very nice too.

Lovely hotel, a lot of building work going on in the vicinity but you couldn't hear it when the balcony doors were shut, very clean and staff very courteous, only negatives, pool a bit small to swim in especially as very busy and shallow. The tea bags were not replenished in the room, we had to keep asking and it would have been nice if the complimentary water was not just for the 1st day.

Lovely hotel but in a lively area

Great service from all the staff and the hotel was clean and well presented. Rooftop pool was lovely but did get very busy and would be great if the bar opened a bit earlier at 10am. On the edge of a lively area, the clientele are quite young and it can be noisy at night. If sensitive to that take earplugs!
