The Phoenicia Malta

Gama In Europe

Last week, I visited The Phoenicia Malta after receiving a Valentine’s gift ticket for a candlelight concert held at the hotel. While waiting for the performance to begin, we spent some time in the lounge — and it immediately left a strong impression on me. Before entering the concert hall, we enjoyed drinks at the bar, where a professional bartender was serving guests. After the performance, instead of returning directly to our hotel in St. Julian’s, we decided to stay a bit longer and enjoy the lobby atmosphere. That turned out to be an excellent decision. The lobby gives an immediate feeling of luxury. It is spacious, elegant, and beautifully designed. I particularly loved the high ceilings, the architectural details, and the refined overall ambiance. There was live music during our visit — piano and violin — which elevated the atmosphere even further and created a truly sophisticated setting. We ordered coffee and espresso, and the service was impeccable. The waiters were professional, attentive, and polished in their manner. Guests can also choose from a selection of cakes, tarts, and macarons, which can be enjoyed comfortably on one of the many sofas arranged throughout the lounge area. The space is decorated with beautiful paintings and elegant furnishings, and simply sitting there already feels like stepping into a world of classic luxury. It is not just a hotel lobby; it is an experience in itself. Overall, even though I was not staying at The Phoenicia Malta, the time spent in its lounge was memorable. It is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy live music, and experience refined hospitality in Malta.

This place makes an impression from the very first moment. Beautiful interiors, perfectly refined details, and an atmosphere of luxury at its very best - never excessive, but guided by an exceptional sense of quality. Everything operates at the highest standard, and the level of service and organisation clearly shows that every detail truly matters here. The hotel is elegant, polished, and run with genuine class. It is definitely one of those places that stays in your memory for a long time.

I woke up with faulty fire alarm 1st day which destroyed my sleep. I mentioned it to the reception, they said it wont happen again. 2nd day i was talking to the phone in my room, again the siren started, i got anxious thinking that i need to evacuate the hotel, but again it was a mistake. And all this experience although i was paying for one of the expensive rooms. They do not bring new water bottles, if the bottle from the 1st day finishes then you have to get water from the minibar or bring from outside. The phone is difficult to use, you have first to press the green button and then immediately the number. The hotel restaurant meals have very small quantities so you remain hungry, i ordered food from Bolt the 2nd day. If you ask them to bring food to the room, they charge you 5 euros on top of everything you have ordered. On the positives, the location is convenient, they have a polite communication style and the hotel manager in the end offered one night for free plus late check out to apologize for the inconvenience.

A traditional hotel that lives up to its reputation for excellence. Very difficult to find fault in anything on offer. Staff and therefore service friendly and excellent throughout.
