Would I stay again .... probably not.

We had to check in last minute due to a canceled flight. Thankfully the British hotel had a room. However on calling up quoted us a more expensive than the site hotels.com however the staff advised us to book through the site to get lower price. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff. We were handed our keys and went of to our room. The room was ok three single beds. It the room was extremely hot!!!! The air con did not work and the fan was no good not ideal for a family room with a young child. The shows was terrible and no warm water to wash only stone cold which in fairness was refreshing in the 35 degree heat. the hotel was ideal for a quick fix but would I stay there again probably not. The only plus this hotel offers is a fantastic few of the balcony.

Great localisation but without confort

The hotel is well located with a nice view on the port. The room is basic and smell weird.The TV the and WiFi don’t work and our room was infected by ants. The hotel staff change our room but only the ants issue was fixed. I believe there is two types of room, be carefull when booking! Also, there is no parking owned by the hotel, just some city spots available in front but good luck to find one available!

My recent stay

It was a very enjoyable stay. The rooms were basic but included a shower and of course had a fantastic view across the Grand Harbour. Reception was courteous and efficient. Continental buffet breakfast was more than reasonable and of good quality and variety. I would recommend the hotel to future visitors for excellent value for money.

眺めのよい部屋でした。広く清掃も行き届いているのですが、換気扇がないため少し匂いました。許容範囲内ですが。部屋には冷蔵庫、テレビ、ドライヤー、金庫、デスク、扇風機がありました。エアコンもありましたが、あまり効きはよくないようです。お手頃価格のホテルの少ないパレットではコスパはまずまずかと思います。スタッフは皆親切でした。雨が降って来たので傘を貸してもらいました。街の中心やバスターミナルからも10分程度と近く徒歩圏内です。

One star for location. Minus 4 for rest. Biggest issue is noise. I booked the room called 3 bedroom with view. It is next to the elevator that people take to bar and restaurant. Plus there is a public toilet on the floor so lots of noise. Plus its the first thing they clean in the morning. It will wake you up. And breakfast set up and eater noise too. I came in late the first night and it was raining so no noise until morning. Night 2 they booked a huge party that started at 8pm and lasted until 2am. Then they cleaned up until 3am. Then they started again at 530am. My complaints were scoffed at or ignored. The third night a group of youngsters gathered outside after the bars closed and yapped until sunrise. Not the hotels fault but indicative of what you may go through. Plus there is the car and deliveries to the bar noise early on. The room is bare. I expected that. Tv could be upgraded past tablet size. Only 10 terrible channels. Ac is old and weak. No way above shower water heater stays hot for 5 people. It ran out most times for me. Bathroom window wont close. Safe seemed to require some odd key. Shuttle would not drop me off here. Had to walk from city center. Things could be easily addressed but i got the feeling that they consider you an imposition and not whom makes their existence possible.

Location was great - close to ferry and other sights. They have a great service for those that need to check out but not ready to leave the city. They kept our bags, provided free WiFi, a lounge where we could hang out When we needed a break and another outdoor lounge overlooking the harbor where we spent the early evening. They called and arranged for a taxi to and from the airport. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and that’s all that we required. Staff could not have been more helpful in helping us determine how we would spend our day. We would stay there again just based on the aforementioned items.

Flott utsikt fra bar/restaurant men elendig hotell

Bra service i resepsjonen på et ellers slitt og dårlig vedlikeholdt hotell. Badet var under enhver kritikk, med sprukket vask og toalett hvor det rant vann på gulvet. Servicen på restauranten var slett. Vi fikk for eksempel ikke låne vinglass for å ta de med på rommet til tross for at vi kjøpte en vinflaske. Også kaffekopper var vanskelig å få lov å ta med på rommet.

Je garde un très bon souvenir de mon séjour à l'hotel British. L'Accueil a été disponible à mon arrivée pour résoudre rapidement un ou deux petits détails (télé à régler, prise électrique norme anglaise). Le personnel en général était souriant et accueillant. La chambre au 5ème étage était spacieuse avec une belle hauteur sous plafond. L'hotel est très bien situé : 1- par rapport à la gare routière, 2- par rapport au centre historique de La Valette, et 3- Par rapport au ferry jusqu'au 3 cités. L'hotel dispose d'une terrasse au 6ème étage ayant une très belle vue sur les 3 cités. En conclusion, je recommande l'hotel British.

En confirmation de mon 1er commentaire l'accueil n'est pas à la hauteur du descriptif présenté. Personnel non souriant aucune assistance pour les bagages au Chek-in. Au check-out, le directeur sans doute, était un peu plus aimable lorsque j'ai souhaité déposer nos bagages avant notre départ. Peut être avait-il eu connaissance de mon premier avis mais son amabilité m'a paru forcée. Aucune aide non plus pour nous aider à déplacer nos lourds bagages. L'accueil est primordial dans un hôtel et à gâche le reste qui était plutôt positif car cela reste d'un bon rapport qualité /prix, sachant que les hôtels à la Valette sont assez chers. Il est également bien situé. Nous avions pris une chambre côté rue avec une vue assez agréable. La vue depuis le lounge est magnifique
