Perfect stay
We had a lovely one-week stay at this hotel with my wife and overall had a very good experience. The hotel is in the heart of the city, so guests should be aware that some noise from the surrounding area is to be expected. However, this did not take away from our overall enjoyment of the stay.
The spa was very good, and the staff were helpful and welcoming throughout our visit.
A special thank you to Anna at the front desk, who was always so kind, patient, and willing to help. Even when dealing with situations and guests under pressure, she maintained her composure, always greeting people with such a warm smile. Her kindness truly made a difference in our experience.
We would also like to thank Rama, who took care of our room, for keeping it clean, tidy, and well maintained throughout our stay.
Overall, we had a pleasant and enjoyable experience, and we truly appreciate the efforts of the staff who helped make our week a memorable one.

Couples break
Penthouse suite generally clean and tidy mini fridge not cleaned comfy bed and good shower, roof top pool lovley for a morning swim and pool bar staff very attentive on the down side hotel is looking shabby around the edges needs a good general refurb no bar or snacks available and bottled water charge is five euros. Breakfast was not good the hot buffet was cold and tables not cleared in a timely manner no orange juice but the coffee was hot and good quality I would consider returning but all in all a bit below par

3 star at best. Stay away from St Julian’s!
A last minute deal at end of lovely 2 stop holiday to Valletta and Gozo. Situated in the heart of St Julian’s which should have said it all. Building opposite, rubbish everywhere. Blood on sheets, tiny crowded roof top pool, needs major renovations and to cap it all missed wake up call on morning of return flight. 3 star at best. Sorry

3 day break staying at the George Urban hotel
3 day break. Location had good access to transportation but not picturesque by any means. Atmosphere surrounding hotel busy,messy, lively. Inside quiet. Rooms were very standard although large, we had to change our room as there was issue with damp smell, cleanliness. All felt a bit worn out and not well maintained. Value for money I suppose. The saving grace were the reception team who when confronted with any issue resolved them promptly and were a source of knowledge and experience of the are. They were a delight. Credit to hotel. The spa experience was just that! Not great, not organised and again not clean. All a bit dark and dingy. The roof top pool was ok served a purpose but again worn and a little unkept. It has its place for a pit stop but that would be it.
Central hotel in a side street.
Location is on a side street in St Julian. That means building works, street itself is a bit drab. But don’t let that fool you. The hotel is very nice, and staff could not be more helpful and accommodating (even when patrons are unreasonable…). Terrific simple breakfast, with some local additional pastries, but continental and British otherwise. Nice, though, really nice. Rooms are good sized, towels for pools provided on request, as are robes and slippers. Quite large hotel for what you’d think as ‘boutique’, with a modern cool atmosphere.
In terms of noise (this being party-central St Julian…), it’s actually quite quiet. The advantages, I suppose, of being on a side street. But particularly na can be noisy ( we were here four nights, but me night woken up by late revellers arriving in room next to ours). But hey, you’re on holiday, let people be happy.
Upper floor has also a terrace pool, with an adjacent bar. The bar could be a little more developed, but then we noticed that we (middle-aged) were the only ones paying attention. All other much younger patrons were more concerned with being by the pool to see and be seen (bless…).
Ok value wise, but I suppose it’s the location that makes this a little dearer. Happy to have come here, though. And a shoutout to Sheila at reception — organised our own one-day tour so well, kept us right all the way.
