(125 reviews) A higly recommended boutique hotel (winner of the award for the best Malta boutique hotel for 2025). My wife and stayed here for two weeks in November (the off season) and it was perfect for our base of operations. The rooms are kept spotless. The breakfast (included) is cooked for you daily. And for dinner in the restaurant (not included) food, wine, and service are exceptional. This is a small, locally owned, family run hotel. We were made to feel very welcome and the owners and staff were happy to provide suggestions and recommendations for restaurants and activities. Thank you to all.

(8 reviews) JL Hotel is very well located, just a short walk from the beach and extremely close to a busy nightlife and clubbing area. Because of this, it is far more suited to singles, couples, and solo travellers rather than families. It is not particularly family-friendly, especially in terms of accessibility. There are stairs all the way up to reception, and the reception area itself is very small. This makes the hotel inconvenient for guests with heavy or large luggage, pushchairs, or wheelchairs. In addition, reception is not manned after certain hours, and the hotel operates largely on a self-service basis, with guests required to contact the hotel via a provided number if assistance is needed outside reception hours. This can be inconvenient if issues arise late at night. One further point worth noting is that the entire hotel is very dimly lit, including the entrance, lift areas, and corridors leading to the rooms. While this may be an energy-saving measure, it is not ideal from a safety or comfort perspective, particularly for guests who are uncomfortable in dark spaces or who prefer well-lit communal areas. The rooms themselves are modern, very clean, and well equipped. One downside was the amount of signage warning guests about charges for damage to linen, towels.
