After spending a lot of time researching hotels in Malta, we chose the Solana Hotel based on its location, facilities, price, and room photos. Check-in was smooth, and we were quickly given directions to our room. Unfortunately, the room we were assigned was on level -3 and had no window. The Expedia website described the room as “Internal/no balcony”, but it did not mention that there was no window at all. Since I am claustrophobic, I couldn’t stay in a room without one. I went back to the reception desk to see what could be done, but the only option was to pay an additional €160 to upgrade. After a long negotiation (and with no help from Expedia because it was high season), I managed to get the price down to €100. Putting that initial issue aside, the hotel itself was incredible. Our new room was spacious and clean, with an extremely comfortable bed and a wonderful shower. The hotel feels new and has excellent facilities, including a gym, a sauna, and multiple swimming pools—the rooftop one was a highlight. The included breakfast was also fantastic, with a wide variety of options. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

Good choice of pools, good choice buffet breakfast but fruit juice machine gave out weak watery juices. Nice size room but took three attempts to get the four towels we asked for. There were four of us (family room) and only got two sets if towels initially.

Good place for a quick break

Last minute booking. Managed to get an upgrade. Half board was a good value. Parking available on street nearby, in case hotel one is full. Great view from rooftop pool. Bar prices decent. Rooms clean and good size, with balcony. Coffee machine in the room.
