Detailed Reviews
Room and bathroom were very clean. Had everything we needed. Location is nearby to bars, restaurants, beach etc.
Downsides were the beds were uncomfortable, also very loud at night time especially as our balcony backs onto the Main Street with pubs full of loud people. Staff were quite unfriendly.

When you arrive in a hôtel the first impression is extremely important because it will set the mood for the rest of your stay, as it is the place you will call "home" for several days and nights. Let's say the first impression was bad. At midnight, after paying more than 600 euros I had to argue 5 minutes in order to receive a receipt. The nigh audit simply didn't want to give me one.
Room was pretty large. No charms or cute decoration but functionnal room. AC works well and bathroom is correct.
I didn't try breakfast or swimming pool (which looked like a joke)
The lady at the front desk at day time did her best to be nice and was kind enough to print my boarding passes.
One thing I appreciate is that I asked a room on the back because I already knew the street was noisy. So I had a quiet room on the back of the hôtel. And indeed, even on the backyard I could hear in the distance the techno music of some night bars around. So I can only imagine how noisy it must be when you have a room with view on the street...probably impossible to sleep.
Overall I have mixed feelings...
Just make sure you can have a calm room before making a reservation.

February price here agrees with the season, however, when I walked in without a booking, the guy in reception tried to charge double at first and then gave me a room with a broken air conditioner, so it wasn't a good start. Afterwards, all was good. Rooms are of a very high standard, fresh, clean, comfortable, with incredible, five star quality bathrooms. The name may seem silly, but in practice, it's reflective of what you're going to get, I was certainly able to relax during my stay, enjoying the comfort and quietude and the view outside. Windows are extra large, filling the whole wall, balconies covered enough to be private. My floor was only second, from third up you'll see the sea and surrounding area, which must be great. Worth mentioning is also the warm, cosy, welcoming atmosphere, makes you want to be there when you're in. Any guest with reasonable expectations should be more than satisfied, I'll probably be coming back myself, some day.

Stayed here for two nights as a solo traveller and can’t fault the place. For £37 for two nights compared to £145 per night at the Ibis next door, nobody should be complaining! Staff were very friendly and helpful, I felt very safe here the reception was manned 24 hours, locked at night but there’s always somebody on reception to let you in I never had any issues. Yes rooms are small and basic but come on who’s going to Malta to sit in their hotel room?! I had a twin room which had two single beds, wardrobe, tv, kettle, shower room and a balcony afacing the main road. Yes this did get a little noisy at night but nothing you can’t tolerate. My advice if you’re a really light sleeper then bring earplugs! Never ate breakfast as I am coeliac so gave it a miss but it smelt delicious. Overall in my opinion 10/10. Location was bang on right behind Bugibba Square, fantastic location for transport - buses into Valletta, St Julian’s etc within minutes walk away. I would 100% return to this hotel. Thankyou so much for a lovely stay!

Room when we arrived was clean. Decent size, wardrobes and drawers but only 4 clothes hangers. Only one bedside cabinet. Very small TV. Decent air con kept room cool.
Room was only cleaned properly once during our stay and bedsheets were only changed 2 days before we checked out. This was despite putting the please clean my room sign out at various times throughout the holiday. In fact it was a day when we had no sign on our door that the room was cleaned and bedsheets changed.
Beds and pillows were not comfortable for me.
Balcony was small. 2 plastic chairs and a little stool was all there was space for. The air con unit on the balcony and the heat it blew out meant it wasn't pleasant to sit out in.
We had a room facing the street. It was constant noise from pubs, music, people until around 2am and the cars was constant. Its on a very busy road.
The glass doors and curtain provide no soundproofing from outside at all.
Roof top terrace. Views are lovely however it has clearly been left to go to ruin. There is a hotel getting built next door. I am not sure if this is the reason they have neglected the terrace. Pool was not clean. I understand debris from the building next door but it was black all the way around it. Sun loungers have cement (I think) stains all over them and they mostly all broken. It's a shame they have neglected the area. A little bit of cleaning and some decent sun loungers would have made this space amazing.
I wouldn't stay here again due to the noise and the fact I didn't find the beds comfortable.
They advertise a bar, this is a couple of chairs in reception. They sell most spirits, beer wine and juice at reasonable prices.
Location is good and near all amenities.
If noise, a dirty pool and a hard bed don't bother you then book. If they do look somewhere else.

Myself and my husband stayed here for a music festival near by. The hotel itself is very clean and the rooms are cleaned daily. Nice modern style rooms which I couldn’t fault providing a fridge, kettle, air conditioning, towels and a really decent shower. The staff were all really lovely and friendly. Breakfast was continental cheese, ham, boiled eggs etc and Maria was very friendly. We only ate breakfast once as chose to have lay ins and eat locally outside of the hotel. Fat Harry’s around the corner does a really good breakfast for around €10.
Now the down side of this hotel which is why it’s only got a three star rating. The noise from the corridor with banging doors is constant, the walls are very thin to the point I could hear the person in the next room pee & flush the chain. There was noise from all directions through the night which was a shame as it wasn’t as relaxing as hoped for. We personally wouldn’t stay here again or recommend due to the noise only

Well located hotel, just for a stopover of one or 2 nights max. Not worth its 3 stars: unfriendly staff, no interest or listening to customers. Very poorly insulated rooms, with people screaming at night. (And we are in the off season). Doors that don't close. The icing on the cake is the breakfast, always the same with the minimum: industrial sandwich bread in a sachet, basic orange juice. Poor quality products. Very disappointed

The hotel is in a good location, surrounded by many restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, shops, easily accessible by bus, a few minutes to the sea. The hotel is tidy, rooms are cleaned every day, towels are changed. Breakfast in a cozy cafe, the cafe employee Marija is a very wonderful warm woman, always wishes you a good day, asks what you saw, where are you going today.

We stayed at the Relax Inn for 7 nights during summer 2023- we had a mixed experience but some definite positives and overall we have had a great holiday.
Firstly, the staff were on the whole fantastic. Shoutout to the pool maintenance guy who had good bants and provided nice fresh water to the pool.
Terrace, as previously described, is “shabby”, but I think due to this fact we actually had an essentially private pool for the whole week so we can’t complain. The deck chairs were functional despite containing holes and some of the backs being broken. Could benefit from parasols.
Receptionists were largely very friendly . Thanks to the one that pointed out the obvious, that I needed to lick the stamp to make it stick. And to the one that dealt with us checking in half asleep at 3am.
During our stay, we had multiple first aid concerns. Am incident on the “bird” scooter led to a knee scrape, but alas the relax inn were there with surgical spirit to save the day.
only the next day, my friend developed an ingrown pubic hair which she had attempted to self remove with tweezers (ouch), and once again the surgical sprint came in handy.
The room itself was nice. Beds are creaky af so bring ear plugs. And eye masks if you don’t want to get woken up at 6am sunrise. Balcony is ok, and air con worked well.
Cleaners were good and did execellent job of cleaning room.
Area itself is ok. Not that scenic but some decent restaurants- Bugies is a fav
Beaches are rocky so bring crocs if you don’t want to obtain deadly foot injuries.
