Never again hostels.com!!

It's terrible to arrive at hotel tired after all night and day travel then you find the claimed 4 star hotel is a damp unventilated dark room with no windows to day light and open air. What is more painful is you are let down by unhelpful Holetls.com customer service!!

Fantastic holiday

This hotel is bang in the middle of the village of Mellieha Malta. From start to finish the staff couldn’t do enough to help you especially the Reception staff and mainly Kis she went above and beyond. Breakfast was good and plenty. We eat our evening meals a few times food was lovely and great value with all your drinks included. The restaurant could have been doing with extra hands x

Hotel was just as the photos showed. Meal options always a good variety to be had. Staff always friendly and polite. We didn't use the spa but pool was open until late and a good temperature. Buses we found to be so easy and frequent to use from outside the hotel connecting all over the island and €2 for a 2 hour ticket super value for money. Good variety of spots to eat in walking distance and some shops to browse around. Would stay here again if visiting Malta.

Prior to my stay I was offered a panoramic balcony view upgrade for a little extra, which i accepted. Upon arrival at the hotel, the room balcony was approximately 6 inches from the next property, and the panoramic view was only left and right side view. Irejected the room as it was not to my expectation of panoramic view. I asked for my original room back, but was not offered a refund on the extra i paid for the panoramic view room. On top of that, the ventilation in the replacement room did not work for 7 nights of my stay, despite numerous handyman visits to try and resolve the issue.

Very clean and modern hotel. Friendly staff. Breakfast had the same options daily but lots of them. Check in was easy. Had a secured luggage area to store our luggage after checkout while waiting for our ride back to airport. Rooms cleaned and clean towel stocked daily. Rooftop pool view is stunning. Indoor heated pool and sauna was good.

A little bit goes a long way, ...or not.

Let me first start by saying that Solana Hotel & Spa looks very inviting from the front. It has a really nice lobby and is located within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and there are busses that take you to St. Paul's Bay, Gozo and other touristy places just steps from the hotel which I liked. All rooms also have a balcony which is nice to sit outside and dry your clothes, enjoy the weather, etc. Nice rooftop. What I did not like was the horrible odor in my room when I first checked in, which I later was told that is it was the wood panel in the room, since it was recently remodeled. It was an easy solution because I just opened the balcony door everyday and eventually I could not smell it. Also housekeeping kept on forgetting to clean my room even though I would leave a sign saying to clean it and would even see them in the hallway and assume that since they saw me leaving, they would clean it. I had to keep complaining to the front desk and they did get them to clean it, but it was evident that housekeeping did a lackluster job and did not clean the floors or anything. Also, the wifi in my room was terrible, I am not sure if it was because I was located on the far end of the floor. The room (2205) looked like they recently converted it into a room so maybe that's also why housekeeping kept on forgetting about it. I did like that there was a gym, but the ventilation was poor as it smelled moldy. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again based on this experience.

Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed in this hotel during the off-season, and while the location was excellent—close to great restaurants and scenic walking areas—the overall experience was mixed. The suite was small and awkwardly designed, with a poorly placed TV. Cleanliness was an issue, with trash bags left in the hallways, and construction noise disrupted the stay. The breakfast buffet was repetitive and lacked freshness. Service was inconsistent; the lobby staff were friendly, but the bar staff less so. The wellness facilities felt dated, though the massage itself was great thanks to the professional spa team. For the low price, it was acceptable, but we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Excellent Service: Definitely A Resort Style

This was my first time staying on the north part of the island. Excellent access to Gozo and Popeye. The room was spacious and breakfast always had a variety of options. The weather wasn't too great while I was there, but there were indoor pools, sauna, and a (tiny) gym. There were always people in the lobby having a drink and sometimes there was live music. The service was also excellent. Kis (at check-in) was wonderful and explained all of the amenities that that hotel & spa had to offer. If I wanted a relaxing weekend, I would definitely consider staying here again.
