Hotel's Favourite
From our first to last moment at this hotel, every single staff member met us with extreme competence and brilliant smiles. Where else could we feel so at home? As we said to the general manager, money can build beautiful buildings anywhere, but the people working there are what makes the difference. Our room was excellent and well maintained. A walk through the beautiful gardens took us to an infinity pool. Staff quickly found appropriate seatings and arranged towels and umbrellas for each guest. Bar service to the pool was frequent and precise. One could also choose to eat at the pool restaurant which offers the same menu - food choices were innovative and well suited to the hot days of July. Our favourite friendly server was Romen who served with a smile and friendly anecdotes. He made us feel valued. At breakfast, in the dining room, the hostess, Alina, was a friendly and accommodating start to our meal. The breakfast area was usually supervised by Sandra whom we called the Duchess because of her elegance and suave service. Rose was our daily server for coffee and juice and is the most delightful young lady. Bina was also a server who made us feel at home. Food service included absolutely amazing baked goods along with the traditional breakfast fare (and fantastic fresh squeezed orange juice). The breakfast chef, Domenic Zammit, supervised with great attention to details. His skills are clearly superior. Breakfast here was always an anticipated wonderful start to our day. The lounge is a well appointed, pretty meeting spot with excellent bar service, thank you Ivan. One could not enter or leave the hotel without the doormen/porters hurrying to open doors and give a friendly greeting. A German intern and an American boy were exceptional in their roles. During our stay, the hotel offered a complimentary jazz evening in the garden which was a terrific surprise and a wonderful evening. This hotel is a stately building with a prime location. However, the staff is what raises this place to the next level. From the general manager to the concierge, the room attendants to the porters, the spa staff to the front desk, everyone seemed to love their jobs and connecting with the guests. After our seven planned nights, we simply were not ready to leave and this is thanks to how much the wonderful staff of the Phoenicia made us feel at home.…

A wonderful hotel situated right at the heart of Valletta. Superb service, comfortable rooms and great food, especially the weekend buffets. Superb Spa. Highly recommended but if you suffer from vertigo or fear of heights don’t go higher than the second floor for sea view rooms due to the way the hotel is built. Apart from that, it is perfect.

Dear William R, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with such lovely feedback following your recent stay at The Phoenicia Malta. I trust you enjoyed your stay in Malta and had a pleasant onward journey. Whilst we were delighted to read of the overall positive feedback you have provided especially about the colleagues and our facilities, we apologise for any inconsistency in service experienced with your room, please note that The Phoenicia Malta was built in Art Deco style more than 75 years ago and is the island’s most historic hotel. While this provides the hotel with its unique old-world charm, it unfortunately also comes with certain limitations not present in new buildings, one of them being varying room sizes and smallish balconies. As a listed building however, The Phoenicia has to adhere to rather strict rules and regulations and any alterations have to keep in line with the original architectural style of the hotel. Instead of size, our room categories mainly differ by either having a balcony or not or whether they have harbour views or a view of Floriana or the Bastion walls. However, rest assured that I will put a note in your profile, and should you ever stay at The Phoenicia again sometime in the future, we will try to allocate a room with a different layout, which might suit you better. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and I really hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back soon. In the meantime, we remain at your complete disposal for any further information or assistance you may require, and sincerely look forward in having the pleasure of welcoming you back at The Phoenicia Malta. Kind regards John Abela Quality Assurance Manager

My stay was a wonderful experience in so beautiful a hotel. Everything was done to such a high standard to ensure the best for the guests. The infinity pool was magic even in November! The best breakfast I have ever seen was on offer and dinner on the terrace was a treat. All made enjoyable by the exceptional staff. A big surprise was the weekly champagne reception for the guests given by the manager.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at The wonderful Phoenicia. The staff are ALL incredibly friendly, smiley and very helpful . It has a great atmosphere. Delicious food, wonderful lush gardens and it’s very convenient to walk into Valletta. It has a great indoor pool and Spa and a brilliant General Manager and her team. We were very happy there and hope to return one day.

Our fourth visit to this wonderful hotel and everything was immaculate. Everything has been said about the staff, the food, the location and the ambience of The Phoenicia in previous reviews and all I would add to this is that if it is within your budget, don't think twice just book in the knowledge that you will find nothing better on the whole island of Malta.

We have stayed at this hotel about 15 times, and I have reviewed it two or three times previously. I didn't expect to feel motivated to do so again, but we have just completed probably our most enjoyable stay yet. Try as we might, we could not fault a single thing! The room was great, breakfast magnificent, every member of staff superb. We cannot wait to return.
