After booking saw a lot of bad reviews was really worried but on arriving OK is very basic but it is clean and tidy can be a bit smelly due to sewers I guess but it is slap bang in the middle good start point overall u get what u pay for try to get sea view other side and... More

We stayed at the start of the season (end April). Despite asking for a sea view on the upper floors we were given a room overlooking the street on the second floor. This hotel is in central Bugibba and the noise levels were unbelievable. Then after a little sleep you will be woken by hotel staff making beds. All the... More

I had been to Malta for the Xmas and New year period. The weather in England was terrible on my return. I was browsing through holidays and spotted a very cheap holiday in the Primera. I had booked my own flights but booked a month's stay through 'onthebeach' in an internal room for £320. I had booked 'room only'. I... More

Good things: +Location was great. Bugibba has good bus connections to whole island. Plenty of restaurants around to choose from. From a budget to luxury. + Price. It is definitely the place to stay if you are not very picky and just want to sleep for a good price. + Surprisingly spacious room for such a budget hotel. Good bed,... More

It was not helpful that upon arrival at 10:30am I was told I could not book in until 2:00 pm. ( Co-op travel must take some blame for that.) My room on the recently refurbished top floor was fine, clean and spacious. But oh dear no water pressure to the sink tap. It would have taken 15 mins to get... More

My husband and I live in Malta and booked a weekend break for our joint birthday. The receptionist Domonic was friendly and helpful, and was quick to come to our rescue when we had tv trouble. We phoned down and within five minutes he was at our door. Our room was spacious and clean, the ac was refreshingly quiet and... More

Just stayed at the Primera for a week. Got a really cheap deal so was not expecting 5* luxury. I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel.Room had what I wanted. Shower was good and always hot water. Bed was made for me every day. Sheets changed and room cleaned. Location was excellent. Breakfast was good. Enough selection. Staff friendly and... More

Having travelled far and wide this has to be on of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Staff were friendly but hotel smelt awful as if there was an open sewer. Decoration was dull and shabby. Should be either knocked down or totally refurbished. We checked in....and checked out 60 minutes later. Avoid like the plague.

My partner and i stayed at the primera for four nights in december '12 and we found it clean,if basic and well located. Breakfast was basic but adequate as were the local restaurants that we used in the evening.The rooftop pool was filthy and obviously not in use. We didn't have any problems with lifts or staff. Our room was... More
