"It will be amazing when completed but currently half way there. The rooms are very good and the service amazing but building works are going on all around so sitting by the pool is not a good experience. There is no evening entertainment but just a short walk away are all the amenities you could want. However, not for anyone with mobility issues as there are lots of steps and hills."

"Loved the morning breakfast, friendly staff and complimentary pool across the street. The rooms were clean, with a nice balcony we left open for the lovely evening breeze. The location was also excellent! We did notice there was a intermittent sewer smell in the room and we did try plugging the sink and covering the shower drain with no success. We did tell the front staff but there was really nothing they could do."

"Radisson Blu Malta – A Lovely Stay with Stunning Views! Stayed for 4 days as part of a wedding party and overall had a fantastic experience! Despite a few initial teething issues, the staff responded brilliantly and really looked after us. The hotel is clean, and the sea views are absolutely stunning! Honestly, one of those places where you can sit with a drink and admire the view for hours! A couple of small improvements: * UK plug sockets available, but none by the bedside, making phone charging tricky. Bring an extension lead! * Outdoor pool was extremely cold, although the indoor pools were pleasantly warmer. Bridge Bar was a brilliant chill-out spot and became our regular meeting point for drinks throughout the day! Another bonus is that the hotel is within walking distance of the main strip. Overall, a lovely stay! A huge thank you to the front desk management team and especially Raj for looking after us so well. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable. Would happily return!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Marsa?
The best area to stay in Marsa, Malta, is generally not within Marsa itself, as it's primarily an industrial and port area. Instead, travelers looking for convenience and quality should consider staying in nearby Valletta or the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua), which offer much more for visitors.Valletta is an excellent choice for couples and those interested in history and culture. This UNESCO World Heritage site is Malta's capital, known for its Baroque architecture, narrow streets, and impressive fortifications. You'll find a wide array of high-end hotels, fine dining restaurants, and cultural attractions like St. John's Co-Cathedral and the Grand Master's Palace. Its central bus terminus provides easy access to other parts of the island.For travelers seeking a more authentic and quieter experience, the Three Cities, particularly Vittoriosa (Birgu), are ideal. These fortified cities predate Valletta and offer a glimpse into Malta's maritime past. Vittoriosa has a charming waterfront with excellent restaurants, a marina, and historical sites like Fort St. Angelo.
When is the best time to go to Marsa?
The best time to go to Marsa, Malta, is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October.These months offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures ranging from the high 60s to low 80s Fahrenheit, making it ideal for exploring the island without the intense heat of summer.
