Bugibba Hotels with Bars

Very nice and big apartment.

Our stay at Sunseeker Holiday Malta was generally okay, but there are a few areas that could be improved. We booked a hotel apartment with room service. The air conditioning wasn't very effective during the day, although it worked much better at night. There were no extra duvets provided, which would have been useful. Room service and cleanning every 2 nights. Also, room have ants The apartment was missing some basic kitchen essentials such as salt, sugar, pepper, and drinking water. These are small, inexpensive items that would make guests feel more comfortable. The apartment was also advertised as having a washing machine and tumble dryer, but neither was available during our stay. The TV in the room was very small, which made it difficult to enjoy watching it from the bed. The swimming pool was smaller than expected. Overall, our stay was pleasant, and the staff were friendly. However, providing the advertised facilities and adding a few basic amenities would make the experience much better for future guests.

Very spacious and clean. Staff is not always on site (a lot of automated replies via chat) but otherwise they were very helpful. Location is close to transport (10min walk) but not much else cose to the flat. Works well as a hub to travel around Malta. A few notes: Be sure to request on demand heating in advance, if required. I visited late March and it was a bit cold at night. The hot water on the shower runs out quickly for some reason, but I was alone and didn’t suffer much from that. No amenities included, but a few small grocery shops at walking distance.

Gym 1/5 - access to the Caniflor Hotel gym, sister hotel is given, but the equipment is all old, broken or insufficient. Better to just go to the outdoor park. Sauna 3/5 - again at Caniflor hotel, but need to ask to use in advance. I didn’t end up using - but it looked OK. Sleep - 2/5 - mattress springs were a bit worn, could hear the water pipes most of the night. Breakfast - 3/5 passable breakfast, at the price point of the hotel, it’s good value. Bread, some salad, ham, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, some fruit, eggs, beans, bacon and sausages. Coffee and juices to drink. Beach - Just the rocky beaches of St Paul’s nearby. Staff very friendly

Very mixed evaluation. The hotel is good and very well located, however: - the staff is not often there. We told Maria at reception that our mini-bar was not cooling. Answer, a mini-bar does not cool. We of course had two rooms and in the other, it was completely cold, even too cold. By moving the electrical outlet, it worked. It was reported but no one ever came. - room cards that didn't work three times. Every time we pass, we are told that this happens and the third time, we are told that it is because the tourist tax is not paid. Ironically, we went to reception twice to do this but were told later. - incredible noise in the hotel. The hotel receives groups of young teenagers and they are hellish, we couldn't really sleep until 1-2am. - if you want to reach the reception, pray that your room is with the new facilities. My daughter got a new room and we got a less new one. The telephone did not work and despite reporting it to reception, nothing was done. Otherwise the hotel is good, comfortable, the indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi very good and the restaurant service is excellent. We hesitated with the Seaview and ultimately regretted it. Despite the hotel's good points, we won't be coming back there again, that's for sure.
