(30 reviews) Superb property just up from ferry port. White knight cafe down road for food. Supermarket close by. For price point and contactless easy living All Nations is superb. I am very happy to stay there again felt very safe and property and area very quiet. I walked to Gigantia and Victoria from here. Moved to Xlendi so now staying at Block. When I go back may stay in All Nations again. For solo female traveller All Nations is perfect. Families too. Team very communicative and responsive. Am one very satisfied customer.

(18 reviews) Loved our stay here. The room was clean and spacious, the staff was friendly and very helpful and there are several shops, bakeries and tons of restaurants around the hotel. You also have a free access to drinking water, tea and coffee at the lobby, which we found great, since tap water is not safe to drink in Malta. The only minor complaint we'd have is that our windows were facing the electronic billboard in the area, which has a lot of bright and flashing ads playing 24/7 and the curtains couldn't fully close the room, so there were some minor flashes in the room throughout the night. It was only an annoyance for the first night or two, but after that not much of a problem. To be honest, we were expecting much worse due to the St. Julian's being the "party district", but luckily the room's noise cancellation was very good and we've heard nothing from the very busy street itself. All in all, a clear recommendation from my side.
