Il-Balluta Vacations from $1,330

We were surprised by the amenities, location, breakfast, and helpfulness of this hotel! We would recommend it to anyone wanting a wonderful place to stay while in Malta. They arranged all of our excursions and gave us helpful information. A great find!

The hotel is a few streets back from the main Qawra tourist areas. The Reception area was quite dark. On approaching the hotel there's no signage to indicate where the reception desk is (on you left behind you as you walk in) I mentioned it being dark and they put a few lights on but it was still gloomy. The hotel needs modernising. It doesn't look like much has changed since it was built The room was clean the bed comfortable. There wasn't any bottled water in the room, most 4 star hotels in Malta give you a free bottle of still water. The supplied toiletries on the room were a decent quality. The toilet was so close to the wall, bigger people need to sit to the side. There were 2 unidentified red stains on the bed. Didn't look like blood. Despite our room being close to the lifts we didn't hear noise. maybe a little bit from the street outside. The indoor and outdoor pools looked ok if a little bit small. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Coffee and Scrambled eggs were great, but everything else was bad. I'd suggest going room only and going out for breakfast. There is a lack of signage. no sign pointing to reception, the indoor pool, the bar or the dining area. £85 for 1 night in late September 2026 isn't too bad for a 4 star hotel in Malta. I don't think you'd be disappointed, but there are better places to stay

Bel endroit tranquille près du transport en commun, personnel très gentil, petit déjeuner varié et succulent, chambre confortable et lit douillet à souhait

Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor areas for improvement We had some initial difficulty finding the hotel, but the staff was very helpful and assisted us upon arrival. We booked the Deluxe Penthouse, and overall, the space was very nice. It featured a great view, a wonderful hot tub, reliable air conditioning, and a good TV. However, the internet connection was not working very well on our final day. There are two main downsides worth noting for future guests: * Amenities clarification: We checked with Expedia beforehand and were told the unit had a washer and dryer, but we later learned from the owner that it does not. The listing on the Expedia app should be updated to make this clearer. * Bathroom layout: The glass shower enclosure does not have a door, which causes water to spill out onto the bathroom floor during showers. Despite these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the helpful staff and great views.
