My husband and I needed a short break for our mini-honeymoon at the end of June. We stayed at the Marina Hotel for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute of it.
Before we arrived, I emailed the hotel to inquire what types of sea view rooms they had. I emailed back and forth with Robert to discuss various options. The communication was fantastic. I was also worried as we were arriving before the regular check in time and was assured that they could hold our luggage.
Well, upon arrival, I was even more assured that we would be more than pleased with the room we were allocated. And let me tell you, we were! We were upgraded to a suite room, a spectacularly big room with 2 balconies, one for morning sun and one for afternoon, with a sitting room and a huge bathroom. We were more than impressed and grateful when we arrived. Our room was decorated with red rose petals and looked beautiful!
The front desk, including Stephen, were more than helpful giving us directions to Mdina (old walled city) and Valletta as well. Well, while we were out exploring Mdina, they were preparing the champagne in our room for our arrival. Again, we were impressed! The time and care that they took was hugely appreciated by us and we were made to feel more than special.
The hotel is extremely central, close to restaurants and shopping as well as bus transport routes. The hotel also runs a shuttle to Valletta, but make sure to get in line early, so we were warned. We took a bus back to the hotel area.
As well, as an added bonus, the hotel also shares the pool area with the Corinthia St. George's which is a beautiful 5*, literally situated a 2 min walk through the hotel.
The breakfast was more than we could have asked for, just be sure to go all in when sitting outside for breakfast. It got pretty hot!
As a side, Paceville is one of the most ridiculous places on Earth! One needs to experience it just for a laugh! We found it extremely tacky, but found a few other nicer areas with classier bars.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a fantastic hotel in the St. Julian's/St. George's Bay Area.

Arrived here on Stephens Day/Boxing Day, from the min we arrived in the hotel the staff were brilliant. Very helpful & very well mannered. A nice gentleman offered to bring our bags to our room but we could manage ourselves. the room was spotless, from the bathroom to the bedroom to the balcony. The cleaners were in everyday & if you were there when they called in they would call back when you eventually went out.the view from our balcony was beautiful so relaxing to sit out on the balcony when you have a view like that. Bed was so comfy usually when im away i do be looking 4ward to gettin back to my own bed, in this case no. we had booked b&b the breakfast was one of the best ive had in any hotel, eat as much as you wants aswell. the hotel is also away from all the madness of paceville so you cant hear anything which is good if you want a quite nite in, but if you wanted to go out its only 5mins walk if even. would recommend this hotel to everyone, i have been to quite a few hotels & this has to be the best ive been to, will be returning at somestage not sure when though.

Excellent hotel with charm and character and do not miss the dining room for luch or dinner. It is also the perfect place for a night away with friends or as a couple. Looking forward to going back - have stayed here three times already and referred countless visitors to Ireland to the hotel as 'not to be missed' ...
