Top Marsa Hotel Reviews

Corinthia St George's Bay

Corinthia St George's Bay

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is spotless, yes it’s dated but the staff are all amazing and keep everything pristine. Nothing is too much trouble and they always offer to take your bags or help get a taxi. We were upgraded from a junior to a queen suite which was amazing. The executive lounge access was a real bonus and all the staff work exceptionally hard to keep it clean and fully stocked. The choice of pools was amazing as you can use any from the hotel group on the corner and also has sea access too. I’d come back in a heart beat as whilst the location near st Julian and isn’t quite for us the hotel is quiet and Bolt taxis are all reasonable and can take you to where ever you want to go. Breakfast was plentiful of all your regulars plus the bacon and sausage were like the UK’s. Didn’t use the spa but it looked exceptionally well maintained and it was good to see you didn’t have to be having a treatment to use the hot tub, pool and sauna. Portion sizes in restaurants are huge so bear in mind if you don’t eat big portions."

"Overall my partner and I enjoyed our stay, but the first room we stayed had a putrid odor, like sewage. When we notified reception they first sent house keeping to just spray the room, which did not solve the issue, but eventually they changed our rooms. Aside from the smell of our first room, the amenities the hotel provided were top notch, loved the pool, and the location was great, walking distance to the ferry and plenty of restaurants around the hotel."

Maritim Antonine Hotel & Spa Malta

Maritim Antonine Hotel & Spa Malta

8/10 Good
"We had a pleasant stay at the MARITIM Antonine Hotel & Spa. The location is excellent and very convenient, and we were happy with the service. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was nicely designed and comfortable overall. However, we were assigned a corner room located close to a storage/service area where the cleaning staff kept and collected their equipment. Unfortunately, this resulted in quite a lot of noise, as we could hear the cleaners moving their supplies and working nearby. The room also did not seem to be very well soundproofed, so we could hear noise from the surrounding areas quite clearly. While we appreciated the good service, the noise was the main downside of our stay and made it difficult to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing environment, especially at certain times of the day. Overall, the hotel has a great location, good service, and pleasant room design. We would happily consider staying again, but we would recommend improving the soundproofing and avoiding assigning guests to rooms located directly next to storage or service areas."

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?

You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at popular sites and beaches. The sea is also warm enough for swimming during these periods.For travelers looking to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or sightseeing without discomfort, these shoulder seasons are perfect. The moderate temperatures are conducive to walking around historic sites or exploring the Grand Harbour area. Couples often appreciate the more tranquil setting and the opportunity for romantic strolls along the waterfront or through the nearby historic towns.While summer (June to August) is also popular, it brings higher temperatures, larger crowds, and increased prices.
