Really liked the decor. Quite unusual and unique. Our suite was excellent with plenty of space and very clean All the staff were great and very helpful. The breakfast buffet was among the best we have seen. We had a spa treatment that was fabulous. Overall we really liked the place. There were a few negatives, however. These were: the view from our room was poor, the shower door was broken and difficult to use, the cold tap on the bath did not work properly and the bottom sheet on the bed had a small hole in it.

Overall disappointing, though management did attempt to fix some issues when we complained. -Customer service needs improvement; staff often chat during breakfast with little to no work to do, while at other times, only one receptionist is available and can't leave the desk (especially at night; management suggested it is a cost-saving exercise). -Room service was poor; on 3 occasions we had to request toilet rolls, and on 1 occasion soap refills as they weren't replenished after cleaning. -Breakfast was very poor with limited continental choices that were often stale, like bread, or became unavailable, like fruit yoghurt. The hot breakfast was lukewarm and quickly went cold. Needs more vegetarian/vegan options. -The gym is tiny and rundown, accommodating a maximum of two people. The air conditioning was off, making it warm. Management said it could be turned on upon request, but there’s no signage indicating this. -Room maintenance was disappointing: black mold in shower grout, patchy paintwork, bubbling wallpaper, and torn rugs, falling short of advertised standards. -The pool and communal tanning areas were also disappointing; the pool is cold, and sun loungers are tightly packed. The plants are dying. Ugly surrounding buildings. -At times, it felt like a hostel, with groups playing loud music in rooms, drinking vodka, and playing drinking games. -The approach to the hotel is on a slippery, steep slope surrounded by dilapidated buildings and noisy ongoing construction.

Hotel is closed to the beach but access to it can prove difficult for people with mobility issues given the road leading to it is quite steep. Didn't use the spa and other facilities but the jacuzzi was not very clean. The pool on the roof is nice but very small. Rooms are a bit dated. Bed very comfortable. Rooms with seaviews are much more expensive. Most rooms have balconies at the back with views of other flats. Rooms are cleaned daily. There is a good spread of hot and cold food for breakfast. Staffs are very friendly. There are very few sandy beaches in Malta and the one in Balluta bay is quite popular and 5 mins walk from the hotel. Good public transport link esp the use of a daily or weekly pass. Availability of buses to all parts of the island from Bulluta including airport. We didn't hire a car but used public transport to travel all over the island. As we landed at Malta airport we bought a weekly bus pass for 25 euros. Very good value for money. Loads of eating places nearby, from fine dining to eating at food court or even a McDonald's. Prices vary, but reasonable.

Great boutique hotel for relaxation!
The HOLM hotel was fantastic! Great location in St Julian's, just up the hill from all the action. Quiet, except for the two roosters, but that added charm. Got an upgraded room on the 4th floor. Spacious, great shower, nice to have a kitchenette and fridge for the delicious food we picked up. Patio with a covered bed lounger was great - sunbathed and napped on it. The hot tub was amazing! Very clean and awesome to use while enjoying the music from the hotel's pool terrace. The hotel pool was refreshing with a cute patio. Breakfast was also very good - all the right things and local pastries - the pastizzio of different fillings - was great. Highly recommend. Service was friendly and accessible.

Nice quirky boutique hotel with friendly staff. Good breakfast selection. Room was spacious and comfy. Had a leaking shower and didn't get clean towels some days (despite having to use them to clean up the water that leaked). Spa facilities were good but the staff were a little disorganised but all got resolved in the end. Pool area was simple but nice. Shout out to Jeffrey who helped us with a smashed bottle one night and could not have been more accommodating. We enjoyed our time here.

We booked the Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed & Hot Tub for 10 nights. It’s on the ground floor, so only downside is there’s barely any sunlight in the room, due to the building next to the hotel & for some reason we got bitten a lot. Other than that the room is very spacious, bed is so comfortable and loved the shower. Loads of storage space & there’s a mini fridge. There’s 24hr room service so you can order water and drinks whenever you like. There’s an option in your room for your room to be cleaned and you can do this option every day if you want, which is lovely to come back to a clean bedsheets, fresh towels after a day out. The staff are wonderful so helpful and nice. The inside and outdoor pool facilities are nice. Good thing about this hotel is there’s around 30 rooms so it was never crowded which is nice. Breakfast was nice. Always different egg options (fried, scrambled, tarts) and the sweet options (pancakes, crepes etc.) changed every day. Wasn’t aware of how nice the area is, there’s loads of local restaurants. We had a pastizzi shop which is a 5 min walk from the hotel which we frequented. There’s also a Costa, Wagamamas and McDonald’s about 15/20 walk from the hotel too. Also a beach nearby but it’s dirty so we didn’t go there which was a shame. The hotel is on a very steep hill but you’ll get used to the exercise

The hotel could be really, really nice and is described as a 5 start but is not. The facilities are good in terms of rooms with hot tubs and terraces. The main issue is the standard of overall cleanliness which is low. Behind the reception and in front of the lifts, the floor mat is absolutely filthy and does not seem to have been washed or vacuumed once when we were there for nearly a week. The hallway carpets are also dirty. The main issue was breakfast. It was ALL open, even hot foods. This meant flies could very easily fly around and sit on the foods. The first day we saw the breakfast area, we were really worried about the hygiene. 3 out of 4 of the party ended up getting food poisoning, one person severely with lots of vomiting and diarrhoea. One poor cleaner had to clean vomit from the little kitchenette in the room. We didn’t have breakfast for the last 3 days. We wanted to check out of couple of days early but were told we could not. The lack of cleanliness is what let this place down which is a shame because with effort and commitment, this hotel could be 5 star.
