clean and spacious room from 1970
Room was very clean and tidy, lots of space and only £10 a night each for me and a friend. We had our own room each, lounge and kitchen. Decor was tired and from the 1970's but was well kept and did I mention clean. The hotel wasn't operating at full capacity as it was out of season so there were no facilities in operation apart from the tennis courts. I really liked it here and for the cost it was very reasonable indeed. I would certainly go back.

Do not stay here!!
The hotel is going to be demolished and neither the current or new owners have kept up with maintenance. You have to ask for new towels and for sheets to be changed. When I advised I was going to give a bad review I was told they do not own the hotel anymore and do not care!

Week in Malta
I chose the sundown for its location in San gwann as we were visiting relatives. Don't expect this to be a top class hotel. It's exactly what it says it is. Dated and in need of modernising but very clean and with helpful staff. I would stay again as it was very reasonably priced. In town without many shops nearby though. Only draw back for me is bed was not great as I'm used too memory foam mattress. All in all very pleased with apartment no frills but a solid base as described

In need of a serious upgrade in all areas
We have stayed in this pace in the past but this hotel complex is in desperate need of upgrade in all areas. we also noted that most of the rooms appear to be rented out to students, the common areas to the block of flats where we stayed smelt bad and unclean. the hotel staff are nice and friendly and helpful too. We also had to pay for the WIFI in the flat and there is a charge to use the safe. Our fridge needed cleaning on the outside and inside; cooker rings did not work well, second bathroom had a water leak from the toilet which kept the floor wet. the flats are in serious need of updating.......... we would like to go back as it is convenient but it needs to be done up and please clean the pool, no-one wants to see green algae in a pool.

Good place to stay for a budget trip
Do not go to this hotel if you are looking for 5-star luxury or spa-style comfort. It's a cheap hotel that, I believe, gives excellent value for money. Four of us stayed for a long weekend in October. We were looking for a no-nonsense place to sleep, essentially, so I was positively surprised by the experience. The room (E40) was a two-bed apartment with a simple kitchen and living/dining room. It had two bathrooms, which was unexpected, and two balconies big enough for all four of us to stand on without feeling squished. In total it was about 600 sq ft, so quite roomy. The decoration was ancient, at a guess late 1970s, and it takes some getting used to. But it was very clean and tidy (it got a quick clean every day we were there). There was a lot of space and easily enough furniture to be comfortable. Everything worked - sockets, sinks, fridge, freezer etc. Outside, there are two large pools and beach towels are available for a €5 deposit. The staff, particularly at reception, were very unpretentious and friendly. There is wifi in reception (not in rooms) and it was slow, but we were able to get a few vital work emails done so tolerable. We didn't try the food. Sundown Court is excellent value for money - not much more than a hostel bed. Perfect for people who don't mind simple no-nonsense accommodation.

Clean and Basic
Quiet, clean and low cost. Good if you want basic. Clean room and facilities. Dated decor. Really poor air con. Good distance from restaurants, bars and shops in Sliema and St Julian's. Great if you don't want to spend much time at the resort.

Needs updating
Upon our arrival we were upgraded to the Penthouse which was very spacious , 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge/diner, kitchen and huge terrace. Whilst the rooms were immaculately clean they are in desperate need of updating. The bedding is the same as when we first visited 23years ago, no air conditioning and the cooker is very difficult to control ! One thing that I was not impressed with was the management of the pool area and bad which has been leased to a 3rd party who was very rude , playing very loud music for the majority of the day/evening and cavorting around the place drinking - not at all professional. As we were only staying for 3 nights for a family wedding it was not too much of a problem, but would make me think twice about returning for a holiday!

Not recommended
Awful - the receptionist was uninterested and didn't tell us anything about where to go or how to get to our room, and when we got to the room then tried to go back down to the lobby the elevator didn't work and there were no connecting stairs. We eventually (after half an hour of trying to get from our room to the lobby) went out a fire escape, luckily it didn't set off the alarms for the building, got back to the lobby. I argued with the receptionist who said it was "hotel policy" to turn off the lift after a certain time (madness) and even it it was policy he should have told me that's what happens so I wasn't trying to get downstairs for half an hour. The rooms were ridiculously outdated and hot and stuffy and there was no air-con.

Good value for money
Sundown is a bit underrated hotel. We were in one bedroom room, which was very clean. Housekeeping was coming every day. Lady at the reception was very helpful. Swimming pool was clean, although a bit busy during the weekend. Good value for money.

nice friendly hotel
this is a nice hotel with friendly staff who are always willing to help if you have a problem if I have to be honest the only downside for us was the location it is on a hillside with steep streets on every side and quite a walk to get anywhere this was a problem for me as I am in my seventies there is no bus route close by and the taxies are expensive.but as long as you are aware of this its a good hotel to stay in

Very good holiday except for the mosquitoes! The bus system was good and the stops within easy walking distance. Also food shops near so we were able to make use of our small kitchen. Malta is a beautiful and most interesting island and well worth a visit.

Nice staff- shame about location!
The hotel was in a hilly, residential area with the nearest bus stop a good 15 minute walk an uphill walk away. It would be completely unsuitable for a disabled person as there are steps to get into the grounds. The facilities are very limited- we went in September- end of season, admittedly, but it was still very hot and there were limited facilities- if you wanted a meal, the barman appeared to be the only person on site to cook for everyone. The hotel has no air conditioning so was almost unbearably hot. When we first arrived we had several problems in our room- one of our ceiling fans squeaked very loudly, the shower was broken, the TV didn't work and the fridge was old and completely iced up!! They fixed the fan( it lasted for 1 day!), the shower was replaced and we just put up with the other things! Shame, the staff were really nice( all 4 of them that we saw!). We won't be going back!

A place to stay away from
When booking this place, it shows attractive pics, but, although not fake, they prove to be deceptive. After ariving at Malta Airport and renting a car, I drove off in search of Sundown Court Resort. We ended up in San Gwan, and with luck found a tiny sign showing us the way. It ended in a resedential street, where no sign or reception was to be found, only a tiny closed gate and a ringer. We walked about a few minutes and decided to ask a few tourists that happened to be passing, who told us to ring the bell and we would be let in. After doing that, we searched for a reception which we finaly found, but was deserted. After ringing the bell an unintrerested person emerged, who just stared at me After telling her we had a reservation, she told me that the people of reservation had left and that I best send an e-mail.... I was perplexed and told her why I should send an email if I have a reservation somewhere... She then asked if I was long or shortstay, my name and looked me up, found me in the system and put a key on the counter with instyructions to "outside go left and past the pools you will find it'and left. I indeed found the place, hauled my divegear and luggage in to a dumpy, run-down appartment which obviously had seen better days (albeit long ago). its basic, and most of all, empty and lacks any atmosphere. The restaurant wants all setteled instantly c If you are looking for a nice and romantic place to spend your Malta holidays, then it is best to avoid this placy

For that authentic 1970's experience
Most public buildings and hotels in Malta are air-conditioned, and for very good reasons. Malta is hot and humid for most of the holiday season and ceiling fans just will not do. The decor and furniture was straight out of the 1970's. Great if you are into nostalgia, but not what you want in your hotel. The bed springs were visible through the sheets. I did find the whistling kettle funny though - reminded me of my childhood. This hotel is NOT convenient for public transport as some have claimed, not unless you enjoy trekking up and down hills.

Great view with lovely staff
The staff were very helpful and respectful. The food was delicious and very big portions. The grounds of the hotel was beautiful with all the flowers and 2 swimming pools. The staff helped us with everything we needed.The room was ok, the appliances were outdated but the room was neat. The only negative thing to say is that we had a difficult time finding the reception when we arrived because it was at the bottom of some stairs. If you are visiting the University of Malta, I would advise you to stay at Sundown Court because of the proximity, it is very close to the University, just a 10 minute walk.

Einziger Gast im verlassenen Hotel
Ich plante 4 Tage Aufenthalt auf Malta. Ich hatte keine großen Erwartungen an das Hotel. Es handelt sich um eine grosse Anlage mit mehreren mehrgeschossigen Häusern. Die Zimmer sind aus den 70'er Jahren- endlich wieder ein 50 Hz Röhrenfernseher, der allerdings erst nach zwei Tagen antennenseitig angeschlossen wurde und eine handvoll italienischer Sender ins Haus brachte. Das Bad bedarf dringend einer Sanierung. Gelbe Silikonfugen, verrosteter Duschschlauch, zerkratzte Klobrille etc. Das Hotelrestaurant ist laut Prospekt bis zum 31.10. geöffnet (meine Aufenthaltsdauer 28.10-01.11). Das Restaurant war geschlossen, keine Frühstücksverpflegung möglich. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Bus in etwa 15 Minuten Entfernung. Taxibestellungen von Rezeption aus möglich. Bei gleichen Zielen kosteten die von dort georderten Taxis zwischen 12 und 15 €, selbst georderte Taxis nur 8 €. Seltsam. Ich denke, dass ich in der Zeit so ziemlich der einzige Gast war.
