DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels in Bugibba

The simple but clean rooms and the charming cleaning girls. We can't say the same about the reception staff, they didn't even leave us a pen. Not all of them, but there were a couple who were quite unfriendly.

The last hotel in this price range.

The hotel is located in St. Paul's Bay. It takes a long time to travel from the airport to the airport. In addition, the distance from Valletta 3 sister cities is relatively far, and the bus takes about 1 hour. But it is more convenient to go to Gozo Island. On the whole, the hotel room is relatively old and there is no air conditioning, so you need to pay attention in summer. However, the level of hygiene is acceptable, and it can accommodate up to 3 people. If the budget is limited, you can consider this place.

Reception: All the staff at the reception we met were really helpful and were all cordial. After we checked out, I noticed that I forgot my phone charger, I called at the reception and the receptionist checked with the housekeeping and kept the charger at the reception for me to collect later on. Main Restaurant: There wasn't a large variety of food compared to other hotels in Malta but everything was really good. The chefs were checking every couple of minutes to see what had finished and replaced the food accordingly. Waiters were all exceptional except one person which forgot to take our drink orders and we kept waiting until the 3rd time we asked for the drinks, another waiter requested our order again and gave us the drinks complementary, which we really appreciated. Room: Room was small but still felt like home and had all the amities we wanted. Flat TV screen with channels such as Italia 1, Canale 5, HGTV, Boomerang, Cartoon Network and much more. Mirror in the room and also in the bathroom. A couple of clothes hangers. Bed was comfortable and spacious. On each side of the bed there were 2 usb ports and a plug to charge any appliances. Coffee, tea, milk and kettle in the room. The only thing that I preferred to have is 2 sets of soaps rather than 1 only (due that we were 2 people) or maybe instead of soaps one would use refilled bottles such as the shampoo bottle that there was attached in the shower. Suggest that the shampoo is clearly labeled due that the word shampoo was a bit small to read. Housekeeping: Were all gentle and helpful. Regarding the fact that we stayed for 2 nights only, we informed the cleaners that there is no need for cleaning of the room but requested towel change and some milk pods which they immediately provided us with.

Pro The location is super. Bus stop just a few meters away, also testarants and ports with many offers for boat tours.. Nightlife walking accessible. Bus station nearby with extensive range offer. Supermarket, minimarkets and other shops. Equipment, and comfort: The beds - mattresses, kiss, ceilings - are very comfortable.. Air conditioning works well and quiet, noise-smooth doors, darkness hangs, coffee and tea preparation, small refrigerator, smart TV, not bright. The view of the pool on the roof is very beautiful. Breakfast is extensive and certainly something for every taste. There are other restaurants in the house to which I can't say anything. The saunas and the indoor pool are a nice extra. The fitness room is large and equipped with many modern devices. Spa offers are available. All rooms have a balcony. Neighbors have not heard, rooms seem not bright. We experienced the service staff very friendly and helpful. Sustainability: There is only 1 towel per person (which can always be exchanged, instead of countless for the roof pool There are no contrasts, only small things. Matraces for large people could be a little longer. The double bed is single beds moved together. Accordingly, with visitor ridges. Sustainability: in the room the small individual packs for coffee, at breakfast the small individual packs for butter, the towels for the roof terrace could be longer. What was really very bad was the noise scenes on the balcony, which was therefore not really useful. Noise came from electrical aggregate or a mega-air conditioning from the house. The view of the side room had side sea view, but also a view of the neighborhood (3rd floor) that reminded a building site. Therefore the offer price for the double room with breakfast of €72 was also justified.

I traveled to Malta alone and chose the Primera Hotel as one of the cheapest options in Malta. In principle, the travel guide says that Valletta is the best place to stay, but I would not agree with this, as it is an hour from St. Paul's Bay to Valletta, an hour to the ferry to Gozo and half an hour to Rabat/Mdina. Excursions such as to the Blue Grotto only go via Valletta and it takes 2 hours by bus. However, you can combine this with a travel route via Valletta or as the last spot before the airport. The hotel was clean, the rooms were more than adequately equipped and for €8 you could book breakfast on site, which was a bit English but had something for everyone. The only thing that could be difficult is being able to eat more than just fruit and bread as a vegan.

It was all inclusive stay. Food was amazing. All that you need and even more. Hotel has amazing 11 floor pools with view on the sea.

Very mixed evaluation. The hotel is good and very well located, however: - the staff is not often there. We told Maria at reception that our mini-bar was not cooling. Answer, a mini-bar does not cool. We of course had two rooms and in the other, it was completely cold, even too cold. By moving the electrical outlet, it worked. It was reported but no one ever came. - room cards that didn't work three times. Every time we pass, we are told that this happens and the third time, we are told that it is because the tourist tax is not paid. Ironically, we went to reception twice to do this but were told later. - incredible noise in the hotel. The hotel receives groups of young teenagers and they are hellish, we couldn't really sleep until 1-2am. - if you want to reach the reception, pray that your room is with the new facilities. My daughter got a new room and we got a less new one. The telephone did not work and despite reporting it to reception, nothing was done. Otherwise the hotel is good, comfortable, the indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi very good and the restaurant service is excellent. We hesitated with the Seaview and ultimately regretted it. Despite the hotel's good points, we won't be coming back there again, that's for sure.

A good location with a bar and a small restaurant next to the valet for €14 in taxi. Hot and warm staff A sunny and nice breakfast .
