I stayed for three nights mid January and I have to say was quite underwhelmed, I was on business so I wasnt to bothered but if I had booked for a holiday I would not have been to happy.
First off there is building work going on outside the hotel, where they seem to be digging the biggest hole in the world, this starts at 6:30 thats in the morning, now I know this is outwith the hotels control but surley they would move guests to the opposite side of the hotel to minimise the noise, the hotel was not busy.
The hotel I imagine would be excellent in the summer as everything is based on outdooors pools area which do look amazing, but not in January. There is very little to do unless you use the indoor pool or you could go to the gym. Another problem is the dining options at night where you have to leave the main hotel and walk down towards the beach through security gates to get to the eating options. (There is a buffet option in the main hotel which I didn't use mainly because it was empty) again in the summer this would likely not be a problem, but on a dark cold January definetly. Breakfast was in the main hotel and was excellent, buffet style.
The room was fine with no problems, apart from the last day when someone chapped my door and asked if i had used the mini bar so they could total my bill, everything fine there, until they returned and thrust a can of beer in my hand, I take it from this I was to refill the mini bar myself! Also a beer in the hotel foyer was 6.50 euro. which is way excessive. The beer and food in the sports bar was actually very good and a lot cheaper, which is strange as it is the same hotel.
The staff were lovely and would I imagine do anything for you, and mayby if this review was written in July it would be more positive but you can only be honest with what you find.

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback regarding your recent stay at the Corinthia Hotel St George’s Bay.
Regarding the construction work in the area below the Hotel, this is a Malta Tourism Project called “Pembroke Gardens” and once it is ready, it is going to be beautiful. Unfortunately we have no control on the schedule of the workers, however, this project should be finished soon, so it is a temporary setback. I apologise that your room was allocated in this area.
I am sorry that you were disturbed by Room Service and I have spoken to the Food and Beverage Manager in order to ensure this does not happen again in the future.
On a positive note, I am very glad to hear that you found our employees to be lovely and that you enjoyed our lavish breakfast buffet.
I can assure you that in summer our outdoor recreational facilities are wonderful and everywhere is bustling with activity.
I hope that you will return to Malta and to our Hotel some time in summer.
Best regards
Stuart Chappell
