Corinthia St George's Bay
I will give our experience an excellent mark. Very helpful staff, clean room with sea wiew, plenty of different places to eat. Was surprised with actually good breakfast. Did not much exploring the area especially beach (stormy weather), but for short stay (we stay only 2 days) it was amazing.

1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA
Nice stay with good choices for breakfast. Convenient for the buses with the 13,13a, 14 and 16 into Valletta. Bed not the most comfy. 2 occasions when room service knocked on unexpectedly to replace water even starting to open the door, which wasn’t appreciated. Despite this would stay again.
