Expert Reviews of Malta Hotels

Before choosing a hotel in Malta, it is worth determining what is more important - entertainment or the beach. Unfortunately, Malta does not have a "universal" resort, which would combine all the charms of a good beach holiday with an active life, an evening promenade and proximity to interesting places. Although this minus turns into an unconditional plus compactness of the country - there is literally half an hour to any place, both by public transport and a rented car.

There is an opinion that there are no sandy beaches in Malta. This is not quite true. We understand how our compatriots love that the beach is sandy, with a convenient entrance to the sea, especially when it comes to rest with children.

Fans of sandy beaches are invited to consider hotels in the resorts in the north of the island - Chirkeva, Golden Bay, and the most popular - Mellieha. It is a quiet resort in the north of Malta. In Mellieha is one of the most famous sandy beaches with the same name. Hotels here at the level of 4 *, a lot of sand and a long sunset in the water, so Mellieha is so fond of all tourists with children. On the beach there are many different entertainments: water scooter, catamaran, beach volleyball, etc.

If tourists are ready to abandon the sand, and in their priority - proximity to the capital, evening activities, noisy discos and active nightlife, and not only nightly, they should recommend such resorts as St. Julian's and Sliema .There will not be good sandy beaches, but there is a small "piece of sand" in St. Julian's, it's very tiny, and there's always crowded .Most of the beaches here are in the form of a stone slab .Sunset at sea - as in the pool, on the stairs .On the one hand, it is somewhat unusual, on the other - an undoubted advantage of this situation is that the sea because of the lack of sand is much cleaner..

St. Julian's is considered one of the busiest and most attractive tourist centers of Malta .The center of the resort - the area of ​​Patchville - is especially attractive for young people: it is here that the most popular bars and night clubs are open on the island, life starts here from 7-8 pm and does not stop until 5 am..There is also a small municipal sandy beach in this area, but tourists mostly bathe and sunbathe on the private beaches of the hotels, which in St. Julians have a great variety and next to them there are bowling, a giant cinema consisting of 15 rooms, restaurants, bars and casinos .In addition to the developed infrastructure of entertainment, the resort has many schools to learn English .Thus, St. Julian's attracts not only the "party-goers", but also those wishing to learn .

San Julians smoothly goes to another resort, it's Sliema. Here are the best shops, restaurants and bars. From the Sliema promenade you can see a breathtaking view of the capital of the island, Valletta. Sliema hotels have almost no territory, mostly 3 * and 4 * categories, are located both on the promenade and on the old streets of the town.

Aura and Bugibba - one of the most popular areas in the north of the island. These two cities form a single whole: there is no border between them, and they have long merged into a single tourist resort. Well-equipped and equipped rocky beaches stretched to Salina. Sightseeing here is the embankment, laid out red brick. There are musicians here, there are numerous open cafes. This is a favorite place for an evening prom.

The state of Malta is located on several islands: Malta - the largest, the islands of Gozo and Comino slightly smaller. In accordance with the size and popularity of the resort are located and hotels: in Malta, they are the most, on the island of Gozo a little less, with the quality of service they are inferior to Maltese, and on Comino there is only one hotel. At the same time, there is no division into tourist zones as such, and hotels are located mainly in the city.

With regard to specific placements, then St. Julian's concentrated the main nightlife and other resort entertainment: you can be sure, here you will not get bored. If from the rest in Malta you are waiting for peace and seclusion, enjoying the nature and silence, it is better to settle in Gozo.

Types of hotels

In Malta, international hotel chains are widely represented - primarily Hilton, Radisson, Kempinski and InterContinental. And, perhaps, the most chic of them is the Hilton in St. Julian's. Serving in hotels of this class is highly professional - not only polite, but extremely operational, which is not always the case with hotels of the class below.

Malta is an educational tourism center recognized by many European corporations, various seminars, conferences, corporate training programs are held regularly here. Most 4-5 * hotels are equipped with high-class conference rooms. In addition, in 4 * and 5 * hotels, there is usually an indoor and outdoor swimming pool (often even a few, and open heated in winter), gyms and saunas.

Among the hotels, boarding schools are easier to dominate. And they are in Malta are of two types: standard and comfort. Typically, this classification means that the bathroom can be in either each room or one in a few. But they are inexpensive, quite cozy and clean. In addition, there are many family-run guesthouses here, some offer special conditions and services for the youngest travelers.

Young and rather poor prefer Maltese hostels. There are a lot of them here: Malta is considered a recognized European center for learning English, and inexpensive accommodation is in demand here all year round.

Renting houses and apartments in Malta is widespread: it is not only convenient, but also quite economical for traveling families or large companies.

Mostly housing for rent is not private entrepreneurs, but Maltese apart-hotels, offering studio apartments equipped with a kitchen with all the necessary equipment.
