Hilton Malta

The Hilton offers a lovely base for a family holiday in Malta. I have stayed in other 5 star hotels and have to admit have always had bigger rooms than the one we stayed in here however it was well maintained and the housekeeper tending to it daily did so at a very high level. The room we stayed in was for 4 people but we were only given 2 chairs on the balcony but this was quickly rectified when pointed out. The WiFi to the rooms is hit and miss which frustrated us at first however the hotel staff quickly sorted this out for us once we mentioned it. The breakfast is good but does get a little repetitive. We didn???t eat any other meals in the hotel as the restaurants around the hotel were lots cheaper and we had many good meals out (The Avenue, Paceville is well worth a visit). You can get ice creams in the lobby area which are good value for money as the children can top it with chocolate. There???s no need to worry about getting a sun bed as there is always plenty around one of the four outdoor pools. Also the hotel is in a great location if you like to explore rock pools. Following reviews on here we ventured to Gozo via the 222 bus service - I strongly recommend you avoid this! The public buses were packed, standing room only and were not air conditioned - it may be the cheaper option but is definitely not the best - but Gozo is well worth a visit. We did go on the sightseeing bus but to be honest found this to be very uninformative - if you do go don???t get off at Valletta waterfront as it???s quite a walk to the nearest restaurants and there is little there to do. We were a little frustrated that the one pool at the hotel was inaccessible after 5pm on one of the days of our holiday due to a private function - this is not expected when paying to stay a a 5 star hotel! On the whole a lovely hotel with staff that go over and above to ensure you have everything you need.

This is our third family holiday at this excellent hotel. The stunning design & setting of this hotel, it???s excellent cleanliness, first class facilities and wealth of eating and drinking opportunities have made it near on impossible for us to find a comparable holiday for the same cost. As such this is the third year in a row we have returned. Staff are polite, cheerful and attentive. The number of swimming pools (including an adult only pool) means the children are free to play in the main pool without fear of disturbing those who don???t have children with them. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, in variety and standard, there is almost every option possible, with a fresh coffee/tea pot brought to your table the moment you sit down if desired. Two bars with different views are perfect for sundowners and I???d highly recommend ???The Catch??? at Merkanti for freshly cooked seafood caught that day. The gym is well equipped and air conditioned, which is just as well given the amazing cakes in the hotel bar. The main restaurant evening buffets are different every night and represent excellent value if you pick the menus that suit your tastes. The Tomohawk steak on the A La Carte is also well worth a try, again if that???s to your taste! Three summers in a row we have visited and we???ve yet to find fault. Outstanding hotel and staff, highly recommend it.
