Portomaso Hotel -Experience the best seaview ever! and other Saint Julian's, Malta Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I have never been but I know people who stayed there and I never heard anyone grumble. Portomaso is one of the most top hotels there is in Malta. The complex surrounds a harbour where boat owners leave their boats. The place has its own restaurants, chocolate shop, cafeterias, bars, Japanese Restaurant and Malasysian Restaurant! It is a place where you find everything close to eachother. The hotel has 2 indoor pools and one has also a seaview of the harbour. The outside pool has many sports facilities. The most common is sailing as there are professional people who even teach you how to sail even if you are not a resident at the hotel ! The walk along the harbour at night is very peaceful !

Unique Qualities: The hotel has a very sophisticated theatre, and seaview from every part of the hotel ! Having a breakfast at Portomaso will keep you satisfied for all the day as they serve an impressive breakfast !

Comparison: most expensive

Address: St.Julians
Directions: Portomaso has the tallest tower in Malta so you will see it for sure ! The place isat the side of the Palace of Grand Master Spinola.

This small and compact hotel is situated in one of the side roads of Paceville just opposite Portomaso however its not in the middle of all the noise but at the same time it is 1 minute away from all the chaos of Paceville. Even though the rooms are very small however it is very clean and the service is very good. It seems this hotel is very
popular amongst Italians as all my Italian friends who come to Malta in the past - all stayed there. The hotel is very central surrounded but many souvenir shops, a church, restaurants and supermarkets.
The sea is just 2 mins away even though the beach is not a sandy one but it is a rocky beach but this place is very clean and nice to swim.

Unique Qualities: Don;t think the hotel has a pool as I guess its too small to have one unless it had one on the roof. It's a very clean place but small and cute ! However, its very central ! Don;t think its expensive !

Sprachcafe is situated in St.Andrews a small village further up from Paceville and St.Julians. Sprachcafe premises where once used as barracks for the soliders who were lodged here in Malta. Infact the premises are quite old even though they refurbished the whole village and brought it up to standard but the style of the buildings are different from the usual buildings in Malta. One can come and learn English also here.

Unique Qualities: On the premises one can find a restaurant, bar, and pool facilities.

The hotel is situated at the end of Paceville, Pembroke area. This hotel is of high quality and had everything a person can dream of. I never stayed at the hotel but once I visited the hotel for day at its spa resort. It was very nice and relaxing. One thing which I don't like is that the hotel was built on area where once a tower stood and which could be seen by everyone. Today to be able to see this tower one has to be a resident at the hotel or visit the hotel for 1 day to use spa resort only !

Unique Qualities: The hotel has indoor/outdoor pools, great views, shops, cafeterias, restaurants. It also has a spa resort where one can go and make use of many relaxing packages ! Outside the hotel but on the premises one can make use of Hanks, Vinotech this place where one can have cheese platters and wine and other dishes. There is also an al fresco restaurant and also an ice-cream shop.

Vivaldi Hotel is situated just further up from the Westin Dragonara Hotel and the Casino as you can see its very central. Never stayed at the hotel but it seems to be a nice hotel.

Unique Qualities: I have no idea as I have not been there but I think it has a pool on the roof as the place does not have any gardens around it since its built in the center of Paceville and not at the edge besides the sea. However it has seaviews. On the roof there is al fresco restaurant for sure which is very romantic and nice.

This hotel was pulled down and now its under construction as you can see in the photo. I am sure it will be very nice when it is finished as it overlooks the St.Julians/Sliema Promenade and consists of really nice open sea seaviews.
