we stayed here september 09, supposed to be for a week, in a studio apartment, we moved out after 1 night. went to stay in another hotel, we had to pay again, which is not good. These apartments are Not safe, no fire saftey at all, all glass fire cabinets supposed to hold extinguishers were empty, if there was fire on stairs we would have been done for as our room at the end of corridoor, claustophobic and dull apartments, no room, have big bruises on top of my legs due to table being squashed at the end of the bed !!! room clean though, noisey area, we are reporting to the authorities there lack of fire saftey and unsympathetic manner, do not advise anybody to stay here ever.

These apartments are great if you are young and want to stay out all night, run around the corridors all day slamming doors, moving furniture and banging on the floors and walls and shouting to others down the corridors, whether it is day or night. They are dreadful if you are a 30/40/50 something who would like to have a relaxing, quiet and restful stay away and want to be able to sleep at night.

Unfortunately, the latter applied to my partner and I and, for us, the holiday turned out to a nightmare and a holiday from hell!

When we got there we asked the attendant if we could have a room which was away from any noise, but we were told that we should either get earplugs or get drunk and pass out if we wanted to get some sleep.

It was a nightmare from the first night. The apartments are on 4 storeys, situated over clubs and bars which start belting out excessively loud music with deep bass from 10pm. This continued till dawn!! At which point, the workmen arrived and started with their noise, with drills and the like, on the adjacent worksite.

The apartments were large but the floor was dirty and was not cleaned the whole time were there. One of the wardrobes was broken (see pictures) and the shower had no hook on the wall for it and there was no shower curtain (see pictures). Theres no TV and the room had no air con but did have a ceiling fan, which was totally ineffectual; especially as it was very hot at night. There is a safe in the room, but it was broken. There were cigarette butts in the corridor outside the room, on the day that we arrived and the same butts were still there on the day that we left (see pictures). The view from the room wasn't anything to write home about either. We were facing a dilapidated building, the building site was to the left and there was a view down the road to the right (see pictures).

In all, this is the most basic of basic accommodation in a poor location and I cannot recommend these apartments for anyone who would like a decent, relaxing holiday.

Stayed there this year in june, once arrived our apratment had no lock to the front door of our apratment, no working hot water and looking on to building site!! we ended up staying at stgeorges that night, next morning went back to the apartment and found a maid/manger (the only worker there) she then upgraded us to the new part of the apartments, was very pleased, as all newly fitted bathroom kitchen and bedrooms, over looking the bars, shown on picture. theres no way of sleeping so party all night long =) and drink as much as you can as buy one get one free!!! plus poll dancing and bar dancing!! little supermarket down the road all you need plus holiday shops near by all walking distance. bus stops also near by and really cheap (sandy beaches about 30minutes away) we used the st Georges swimming pools which were lovely! overall if your young and like to party this is the place for you...
(just make sure you have a upgraded apartment or your hate it!!

I've seen studio flats in London in worse condition, I've stayed in 4* hotels with smaller and poorer bathrooms and my sister's £500k flat in central London is noisier!
Honestly I don't know what people are complaining about! The bathroom was a revelation...tiled to perfection and super-clean, I could have eaten off the floor of it.
The room has basic furniture & fittings but what do you expect?!
Cleaner came in every day and changed our towels (actually she just gave us new ones), swept the floor and cleaned the bathroom. High ceilings meant room was cool (altough we went in May) and fan was powerful enough to ventilate in a matter of minutes.
Bad points: very noisy on friday night, view of internal building (under development), no reception, poor water pressure.

Just bring ear plugs and you'll be fine....for anyone that needs any cleaning/queries I sneakily found out that the reception is ROOM 406!

Honestly I think hotels in that part of St.Julians are going to be very pot luck as it's in the middle of the Maltese "SOHO" so you may find yourself in hotels like the one down the road....4* overlooking a massive building site and near the bars & pubs...so you would get the same view, same noise only to be charged 10x more!
