Solana Hotel & Spa arvostelua

Great hotel. The staff were all super nice and helpful. The amenities were awesome. They kept the room clean and the infinity pool and sauna were both top-notch.

We went with a dear friend of mine for relaxing holidays, and we couldn’t have hoped for more. We added breakfast to our stay and the buffet breakfast was amazing and served until 10.30 am, which is a real plus when you want to take your time. There were hardly anyone in the sauna, so we could enjoy it every single day. The rooftop areas with the pool had a beautiful view and the food during the day was delicious.

Amazing hotel and great service. The breakfast was good and there was a variety of fruits and pastries.

My wife and I recently completed our second stay at the Solana Hotel & Spa, having previously spent a full month here in May 2022. This time we stayed for 18 nights beginning May 28 and booked two rooms, as another family member joined us. We requested the same studio room we had previously, along with a standard room next door. The studio had been nicely updated with a new TV, mattress, wardrobe, and kitchenette. The bathroom was modern and well designed, with an excellent walk-in rain shower, handheld wand, consistent water pressure, and reliable hot water. We did, however, encounter two housekeeping issues. One nightstand drawer clearly needed cleaning, having apparently been overlooked when the room was prepared. More concerning was a persistent foul odor coming from the kitchenette cupboard area. Although the odor could mostly be contained by keeping the cupboard doors closed, it was never fully resolved despite multiple requests to management. This should be investigated, as other guests might reasonably find it unacceptable. Our balcony overlooked the main street with views of the church and the sea beyond. Despite being above the street, noise was rarely an issue, and we enjoy this location because it lets us experience the atmosphere of Mellieħa while being directly across from our favorite restaurant, Ta' Peter. The hotel has expanded dramatically since our last visit. The enlarged lobby and Bellini's restaurant are attractive additions, while the adults-only rooftop infinity pool provides a quieter alternative to the family pool and bar. A new sixth-floor social area with games and reading spaces is also a welcome addition. Overall, we had another enjoyable stay, but there were several issues management should address. One involved breakfast. One of our rooms was booked and prepaid with breakfast for two adults, but because only one person occupied the room, the hotel provided breakfast for only one guest. In effect, 18 prepaid breakfasts were forfeited without any credit or alternative, which was disappointing. The second issue involved parking. On three occasions, roadworks blocked access to the underground garage, requiring us to park on the street overnight. Since we had prepaid for parking, I expected those nights to be refunded automatically. Instead, I had to request a credit, which seemed to require unnecessary management discussion. A €10 credit should simply be issued whenever prepaid parking cannot be provided. Bellini's restaurant now easily accommodates the hotel's larger capacity, and the breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety of fresh, well-prepared food. The only frustration was the coffee service. There was always a long queue at the machine near the buffet. After asking a manager, I learned there were three additional machines elsewhere in the restaurant, but there was no signage directing guests to them. A few simple signs would eliminate much of the waiting. The underground parking garage also needs improvement. During our 18-night stay, we encountered four occasions when no security guard was present to open the entrance, leaving us waiting outside for up to 30 minutes. The posted security number often went unanswered, and the front desk was unable to help. For a paid service, guests should not have to wait outside late at night or make repeated phone calls just to access the garage. Despite these criticisms, I would gladly stay here again and continue recommending the Solana Hotel & Spa. Its location is outstanding, the accommodations are comfortable, the facilities have improved considerably, and it offers excellent value. I hope management views these comments as constructive feedback from a returning guest who has spent more than six weeks at the hotel over two visits. Addressing these issues would make an already very good hotel even better.

Lovely hotel in good location, plenty of nice restaurants and bars in hotel and directly outside. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Decent breakfast buffet but didn’t enjoy evening buffet as much the one time we went. The Italian and the Asian in house restaurants were very good though. Room ( junior suite 2606 )was an excellent spotless, large room and balcony with sun loungers - not a sunny balcony -but not a problem for us. Would recommend 😊

Reception and room services were excellent, although the dining room service was a little lacking by comparison to the other departments. Some dining room staff looked and acted completely disinterested, whereas the 'upstairs' teams were much more approachable, friendly, pleasant, and helpful. The 'superior room' booked was large, clean, bright, and well equipped, although the outlook to the rear of the hotel was somewhat underwhelming with views of rooftops and walls. Overall, it was very good value for money, and in spite of some relatively small negatives, we would certainly stay at The Solana Hotel again. The chargable garage parking facility was most welcome because of a general limitation on parking in Mellieha and most of Malta.

Excellent room in this friendly hotel with great view, make me wanna come back soon 🫶 exactly recommended

We had a great stay at Solana Hotel Malta. The location is very convenient, with restaurants and shops just a short walk away. It is also quite close to the ferry terminal going to Gozo, which made our trip very easy. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The food was good, with plenty of choices for breakfast. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. We would especially like to thank Venn at the front desk, the lovely Indian lady at reception (I’m sorry I forgot her name), and the housekeeping lady from Nepal for their kindness and excellent service. My daughter and her friend also had a wonderful time enjoying the pool every day and relaxing with some sunbathing. 😊 Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would happily stay here again. Thank you to everyone at Solana Hotel for making our holiday enjoyable!☺️

I checked in at the hotel and the room was dirty and contacted reception and they sent housekeeping who came and put an old torn bedsheet. It’s not worth it and even the breakfast, there was no tea bags etc, not recommended at all but thanks to Trip.com I was able to get refund as I left the hotel so as not to spoil my holiday.

It was really great ! The hotel is so nice, the staff is very kind and helpful. We also took the breakfast and it was delicious !

The location is good. Amazing hotel and great service. The breakfast was nice, they have a lot of pastries and fruits

Nice location and the staff are welcoming. I stayed there for 3 nights and it was good.

On the hill surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops. You don't need to go far for a night out. Reception staff were helpful and efficient and the Prickly Pear coffee and cakes were excellent. Leisure facilities all looked good though I didn't actually try them out, just had a good look round. Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice.Room was spacious.but a little chilly for me. Having a fridge was a bonus as the safety deposit box which was free to use. Balcony was tiny but functional. A good hotel with a pleasant atmosphere.

Very clean rooms and hotel,very friendly staff,great rooftop pool. Food was ok,enough of choice.
