Alexandra Hotel

Really quiet hotel with pool, sauna and jacuzzi

Booked in here for 4 nights and got my travel plans mixed up. Rightfully when I didn’t check out the hotel called me. I went back to see could I stay and was asked to pay €84 and move rooms. As this was 30% higher than what I had paid per night and 50% more than what the hotel was worth; I checked out. Once checked out and sat in reception. There were tons of other options online including staying for €46. I booked and checked back in as it was raining. I was then asked to fill out all the forms at reception again. The place is old and dated. You need to leave a special key card in the room or it switches off all the power. This is tricky when traveling as you can’t leave a tablet/phone to charge while being out and reception wouldn’t give a second key. Also pointless to have a fridge in the room hence they were plugged out and spelled awful. Some parts of the hotel are spotless. The had a team washing and polishing the leather seats in reception and lampshades in the bar yet next to them the tiles were cracked and wallpaper peeling off. The luggage room was unsupervised which isn’t very safe and breakfast was a 4/10 at best. I had this twice out of 5 days showing how good it was when already paid for. Shorditch nearby does a good healthy breakfast. It’s a budget hotel and near a party place so hallways are always noisy; certainly not for families. Not the worst place I’ve stayed but it seems they focus on looking after random parts and ignoring others.

Initially there was problems with the rooms however I couldn’t fault the staff! They were always polite and professional. On another night my son suffered from a severe throat infection the night staff put themselves out providing honey and lemon hot drinks. The hotel was very pleasant apart from toilet system noisy at night. Decent out door pool and indoor pool. Thank you for a lovely stay!

My stay was good service and staff always grest.

Some of the reviews I read before booking this hotel made me a little apprehensive. There was no need! Our whole 4 days was brilliant. We could not find fault with any aspect of our stay. Every member of staff we had dealings with could not have been more helpful. Particularly the receptionists! Our main purpose of our stay was to relax and unwind. We certainly left feeling that way. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Location of hotel is more suited to younger couples / friends not really in a family friendly area, as lots of bars and strip clubs around. We initially had problems with our room which the hotel staff sorted and moved us rooms. Beds were very uncomfortable and lumpy, but clean if not very basic. Staff were helpful and could not be faulted.

Really nice stay here, however the air con was very poor. We asked it to be looked at and they did try to help but it just wouldn’t cool the room down so difficult to sleep at night. It was either just our room or they need new AC. Apart from this, breakfast was good, facilities are good and great location!

Pool too small for number of guests. "The strip" 10 mins walk away. Plenty restaurants around. Big supermarket beside hotel. Rooms fine....pillows lumpy so quite uncomfortable.

Our stay here was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make it memorable and had flower petals on the bed and a bottle of wine for my birthday. The view was amazing and the rooftop pool was the best place to spend the day! Could not recommend more for a long weekend in Malta. Beach, restaurants, bars and shops all nearby
