XVI Suites

Beautiful hotel. The room was fabulous. Spotless with lovely comfy bed and pillows and nice betting. Amazing bathroom. Great breakfast. The hotel bar and restaurant was buzzing in the evening and the food looked very nice. Its just in a wierd place. Its only a shirt bus ride to st Juliens which was fine. But the location of thus place although next to a small beach is a bit in the middle of nowhere. Which is a shame because its really good.

A lovely hotel in a beautifully renovated building. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, plenty of choice & delicious. The rooftop terraces/bar/pool area were very smart. Unfortunately the water in the pool was too cold for me! The Elba restaurant (where breakfast is served) was ideal for evening meals too & we visited the gelateria next door a number of times too. There is a small sandy beach just a short walk from the hotel with another couple of nice restaurants in close proximity. The only slight negative point was that the Coastal road runs quite close to the hotel which made it a little noisy at times especially when motorbikes go past. It did mean though that there were plenty of buses going past the door which made exploring the island very easy!

My stay was everything I’d hoped for and more. My first time in Malta, I wanted a chilled vibe away from the nightlife but for there to still be the option to experience everything the island has to offer. The staff, Muhammad in particular, can’t do enough for you. The room was incredible with private terrace, and kept immaculate daily. The rooftop bar was perfect, with swim up bar, sea view and an amazing selection of professionally made to order cocktails. Cisk is my new favourite beer now too! I toured the island, spent time at The Blue Lagoon, ventured over to Gozo and all with the help of the tips and tricks from the staff. Elba bar served freshly made food, there was a great variety and their pizzas are the best I’ve eaten. I used Bolt to travel on some days for ease and no where is much further than a 20 minute ride away, all very chatty and friendly, sharing their knowledge of Malta. I will definitely be returning. I stayed the first week of June, the temperature was perfect, it wasn’t too busy, always guaranteed a sun lounger and the beach which is a stones throw away was the perfect place to hang out in the day, and watch the sunset at night. I highly recommend XVI Suites.
