Amazing outdoor pool next to the fortress wall of Valletta!! Indoor spa & pool! Didn’t discover these until after visiting all the sights but be sure to experience from day one. Service was impeccable. Prosecco breakfast, try the local specialities, carved ham, pickled eggs, herbs with cheese, dates, carob, capers... Turn down service, cold drinks in waiting after hot days in your mini bar. Luxurious toiletries, Aqua line. Nits: hubby complained about too many and too large pillows ;). Pool bar could use glasses vs plastic. Our shower leaked. Some of furnishings throughout the hotel needs updating, Eg wicker, carpets, and the like.
Wonderful staff especially at reception.
Amenities and location
Right where the action starts. Exiting the hotel you get the right feeling: you feel in Malta, you feel the powerful history. Nice pool but not quite next to the hotel. You have to walk 4-5 minutes through a very lovely garden to get to the pool. The pool area is large, very nice, lounge chairs are very comfortable. View from the pool is remarkable. The Caffe Phenicia has good food and price are affordable but some customers are smoking outside while sitting at the table. Rooms are large enough and the bathrooms too.
Staff was great, as well as property. Beautiful pool area. Rooms are small.
A real classic! The hotel has an old fashioned feel with updated amenities. The infinity pool under the bastion walls is absolutely beautiful and relaxing at the end of a hot day.
Nice location and well refurbished hotel. Service, attitude and professionalism still have quite some distance to cover - for a hotel of its class. Overall a good choice but with shortcomings
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at The Phoenicia. It is just outside the entrance to Valletta, providing a wonderful location to explore the old town and enjoy restaurants. The hotel itself is peaceful and has a great pool setup adjacent to the city walls. The hotel is recently renovated and everything is top notch, including the staff, which made for a great holiday!
The Phoenicia is a really great hotel, surrounded by a dream garden overlooking the bay and a stunning open air swimming pool. The dining room and terrace are also beautiful. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. The location is ideal. The room is very good, offering complimentary fruit, water & chocolate, though the superior room we stayed in was a bit small, and I would recommend a few minor changes for more comfort. The bathroom is spacious and well-equipped. The breakfast is rich, though more vegetables would be appreciated. Overall - it was a great stay in a great hotel. Thank you!
When we arrived although we had paid for a superior room with 2 beds with a nice view and a balcony on the port, we were put in a room that was just big enough to walk around the bed with the view of the parking lot and garbage cans. We were also told that there was no other room available. After an hour argument and the staff at the reception desk waking up the manager we were given a room on the 4th floor with a little window at leas looking out and with two beds put together so we agreed to take that. We also learned from our guide that the hotel was going to close down for renovation and that they did not care about clients. We decided not to sign up for breakfast as we thought it was a rip off Euros 18.50 per person. The desk also told us that if we had signed up with breakfast included when we make the reservation it would be only Euros 15.00. All in All only the location was good. The rest was very average. Also I almost forgot the fridge in the room did not work. The drinks they had in there were all warm and the temperature outside was 27 degrees Celcius!!!.
I had a pleasant stay at the Phoenicia during a few days of taking in Valletta and Malta sights.

Dear Harry, Thanks so much for sharing your experience and while I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the location and refurbishment of the hotel, I would like to apologies for not fully meeting your expectations with regards to some of the service you received. As per countless online reviews we received over the years, The Phoenicia has always maintained an outstanding reputation for its service standards, which will always remain of paramount importance to us. As we do take constructive criticism very seriously, I was wondering if you might be so kind as to let me have a few more details about your experience? My apologies again and I am hoping to hear from you via email. Kind regards, Nikola Greifeld, Guest Relations Manager

Thanks so much for your valuable feedback and I will certainly pass on your comments with regards to the bedroom to our Housekeeper. Thanks again and I hope we will be able to welcome you back to the hotel one day. Kind regards, Nikola Greifeld, Guest Relations Manager
Dear Ms. Wong,May I thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback following your recent stay at The Phoenicia Malta. I do hope you enjoyed your overall time in Malta and had a pleasant onward journey.As you might imagine, the feedback gained from our guests allows us to endeavour to strive for ways in which we continuously improve the service and experience offered. All guests' comments are truly valuable to us so that we deliver the experience we are known for.We were therefore delighted to read of the overall positive feedback you have been providing and I will ensure that your comments are shared with all my colleagues, who I am certain, will be equally pleased to read of your appreciation.Equally, thank you for your comments about the hotel furnishings. Please note that The Phoenicia was built in Art Deco style more than 80 years ago and is the island’s most historic hotel. During the extensive restoration and refurbishment project in 2016/17, all of our rooms were completely renovated with brand new bathrooms, new mattresses and soft-furnishings, while carpets were removed to expose the original sought-after Maltese floor tiles. The design was intended to give the rooms a fresh, contemporary Mediterranean feel and it seems these guests did not approve the new design.With this in mind, we truly hope to be afforded the opportunity of welcoming you back to The Phoenicia in the near future.If at such time, I can be of any assistance in regards to any queries you may have, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.Kind regardsJohn AbelaDuty Manager
