We’ve never been to Malta. The Hilton didn’t disappoint at all- it was a fabulous place to stay. All the staff were very helpful and the facilities were excellent. We have a child with a food allergy and I felt very confident in all the serving staff and chefs to ensure she was looked after. We really enjoyed the Meerkanti over 16s pool area. Particular mention to the Gazebo outdoor restaurant- Tom and Christina looked after us very well- thank you for contributing to a fabulous holiday!

We stayed late September for 4 nights at the Hilton Malta, booked directly via Hilton Reservation Department. we had to cancel our trip in march due to covid., so we looked very much forward to our malta holiday. luckily malta did it right and in september it kept open as one of the few destinations in the south, safe for germans.
arrival was smooth and the prebooked Hilton Cab waited on time after landing @ Luca Airport. We had the pleasure to stay at one of the Executive rooms on the 8 floor and were promt invited to join the Teatime at Lounge. Great start and so it continued ...
The Room was huge decorated in Shades of blue, dedicated to the sea, fresh and crips. Our balcony had views to Portomaso Marina facing the impressive array of yachts towed along the walkway. The pool area is huge and had enough deckchairs and umbrellas, while the Beachclub underneath was already closed. from 6-8 pm, wine, beer and snacks are served at the executive lounge and we loved to start our evening, pampered by the outstanding crew of the lounge.
i also like to mention how clever the hilton managed, to have a very nice breakfast, regarding covid measurements. on 4 stations (cold cuts and fruits, pancakes / Cooked Breakfast / Cereals & Milk / & finally Bakery and Jam) the crew hands out your choice. Secret, ask for the salmon plate at the cold cuts station, because its hidden in the catering fridge... Coffee and Orange is served by the Crew and to my surprise the waiter on the first morning offered me a egg benedictine which was delish! Over the Weekend the Hotel was fully booked and became popular with family's (Maltese independence day gave the locals an extra monday off ) Even with heavy load's at breakfast, the crew did their best to cater all guest's. the terasse seating was another big plus to enjoy morning sun and croissant right at the poolside. if you wish to workout, go ahead the gym on level 4 is huge with top notch equipment and lots of space in different areas. we did not use the sauna and spa facilities and let the sun tann us instead.
verdict: the hilton malta is a perfect place to relax and belongs to my favourity Hilton's in Europa from now on. The Lounge is huge with nice F&B concept and keep in mind... most of the Hilton's still keep their Lounges closed. Thumbs up for the management. Thumbs up also for the entire Staff we met during our stay. Mr. Mahmoud E. delivered outstanding Hilton Honors Recognition (exactly because of Employers like him I LOVE HILTON) and so was Elena and Silvia @ Reception and all the remaining people who met us feel welcome.
cant wait to return and thank you once again for having a great vacation.

We stayed in July 2020 at rooms 940 and 946. In the one week we stayed at the Hilton, the staff we interacted with was always professional and did this his job better then other Hilton’s we stayed in.
But two members of your staff was outstanding. The staff at the executive lounge was unbelievable friendly, supportive and did his work with such passion, we never experienced something like this before. The kitchen staff organized bacon, because the hotel does not offers bacon, only ham.
The rooms are renovated and are checked or cleaned twice a day. The service at the various pools is very attentive; prices are normal and not overpriced like other Hilton hotels. A mask is not required throughout the hotel. The hygiene rules are observed. Breakfast is plentiful; it is served at the table. Of particular note is the pool for swimmers (16 years and older) and the gym, which is really big. The audience is international and down to earth. There are families with children who do not disturb the relaxation area. There are older and younger couples; LGBTG GUESTS are also very welcome and pleasant.
Overall, we can say that we have never experienced comparable service and attention from your employees. I allow myself to say this because I have to spend at least 30 nights a year in luxury hotels for my job.
Conclusion: we can only highly recommend the hotel.

From an early check in, upgrade and bubbly on arrival, the weekend was absolutely perfect. Birthday cake waiting in the room from rolled towels to actual cake. Despite their being no tourists, which was lovely and quiet, the hotel has implemented several restrictions due to the overhyped flu virus. Sanitizing stations on arrival, temperature being taken and the staff wearing masks, nothing could have ruined the weekend. It's a shame that the island relies so much on tourists as this was the best break we've had on the island. Stella, our room attendant, was amazing at replenishing our tea and coffee, thank you. We will return again soon.

Unfortunately, I booked this hotel to spend a pleasant time as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend. However, upon entering the bathroom in our room, I immediately found hair all over the floor of the shower and bathtub. This means that where it should have been cleaned properly, it was not. I was disappointed, because a hotel of this size should at least offer a clean environment to its guests.
The breakfast was nothing special and lacked a variety of options.
The bed is not as soft as I imagined.
When we were inside the room, the cleaner simply came in without knocking on the door to make sure there was no one there, or at least asking if they could open it or if we needed anything. She just opened it.
Because of these details, unfortunately my experience was not pleasant and I do not recommend this hotel, as I have stayed in others in Malta, smaller but complete in every way.
Positive point. The suite was upgraded free of charge for my boyfriend's birthday and when we arrived, there was a small cake as a gift. That was very nice.

Dear 576julianaz While we are very happy that you chose to celebrate your boyfriend's birthday at our hotel, and that you enjoyed the upgrade and birthday cake, we are of course disappointed to have fallen short of your expectations in other ways. We would have appreciated your sharing your concerns with us while you were still in the hotel, as it would have given us the opportunity to make things right for you. Having received your feedback after your departure, as I said in my replies to you earlier today, we can at this point only apologise for the shortfalls and hope that we can provide you with an experience that meets your expectations on another occasion.

We’ve just returned from a really wonderful week in Malta, and we stayed at the Hilton in St Julians. We booked a superior room with a sea view but when we were taken to the room it became apparent that it was too far from the elevator to make it suitable for us as my wife has a mobility issue. Without any fuss, the hotel guided us to a different room on the executive floor that had fantastic accessibility options and the biggest walk in shower I have ever seen. Room 832 was also near to the lifts, and an easy trip down to reception and the main restaurant. The duty manager, Maxime, seemed committed to making our stay truly memorable and did everything he could to make sure that our stay was as perfect as possible. When my wife was ill towards the end of our week there, he made sure that the type of plain food that she needed to eat was specially prepared and sent to our room and didn’t charge us for it either. He really went beyond what we could have imagined a five star hotel would do in this situation. On a Saturday evening the hotel’s Oceana restaurant has a buffet and it is one of the best I have ever seen and eaten from, including the ones that I have been to in Las Vegas. In fact, it was so good that we changed our booking on Valentines evening so that we could eat in the restaurant in the hotel again. Noting that my wife had a wheeled walking aide, each time we went to the restaurant for breakfast or dinner, the staff made sure that we had a perfect table near to the food so that she didn’t have to walk too far and that we could use it each time we needed to. Again, this was incredibly helpful and much appreciated by us. The concierge was very helpful too, to the extent that they were able to arrange taxis for us even when we were in Valletta and needed to get back to the hotel. As you can tell, I cannot praise the hotel or at staff enough, and have no problem in recommending it most highly to everyone for a perfect holiday in Malta

I'll start with a few negatives (in my own opinion) - the rooms aren't totally soundproof, to the extent that you can here people walking around on the floorboards in their heels in the room above, shouting from neighbouring rooms or some weird 'dripping' sounding noise, which I think was the balcony windows settling into place in the morning sun.
That being said, the rooms are large, modern, comfortable. The bathroom very good.
Breakfast is decent. At the moment this is a staff served buffet, though it might seem limited in choice, if there's anything you want, ask, they probably have it and quite an extensive vegetarian selection.
Facilities also excellent. You may have to fight for a bed in the early mornning, but there are 4 pools to choose from and an adult only one.
Food in the hotel resutaurants is very good, drinks too expensive for what you get.
The location compared to other 5* hotels in St Julian is much better if you're wanting easy access and a relaxed atmosphere.
