My main two downside points is not really anything that the hotel can "fix" a such; the first is the room that was sea facing also meant that it was right next two a two-lane "mini-motorway" running in front of the hotel and on the waterside, which was very noisy. This was disturbing for sleep in the evenings and also drivers hooting early in the morning and waking us up. The second point was the Booking.com advert for ST Bayview hotel, which I found to be misleading with regards to the rooftop pool area. To be clear, the pictures of the "cross" pool you see on this advert is NOT the rooftop of ST Bayview hotels nor any of the other ST hotels for that matter. It is a separate "day /beach club" across the road, called Aqualuna, that you need to pay an addition EUR20 per person for a full day to enter and make use off. I was taken aback when I went to the rooftop and discovered it looked nothing like the advertised pictures, and while this fact might've been mentioned somewhere in the booking.com advert, it was by no means obvious nor transparent.

Lovely modern room. Very comfortable bed and duvet provided, which was essential for me, as some hotels don't provide warm bedding during summer months. Location was in Gzira, 15 mins bus drive away from Valetta, which was great, with plenty public transport available. Our room selected was with sea view, which overlooked the marina, and again this was pretty with small balcony. Breakfast was included, which was a full English buffet, and to be honest, this was nothing special and even on the bland side.

The coffee cups in the room were not clean. One bed was cracked in 617. But slept perfect in the other wide bed. But i wouldn't rent this room out to couples until this second bed base is fixed due to the noise it made with each movement.

Pool access to Aqualuna, nice bed and shower. Newish bathroom. Extremely accommodating staff at reception. Nice hotel, great location, good breakfast. Perfect for any type of trip.

Staff when we checked in weren't accommodating and were quite blunt. No problem day to day though. Breakfast was really busy no matter the time you went. They could do with more tables.

The location was fantastic. The ferry to Valetta was a 10 minute walk at most, and there was a bus stop right outside. The bed was really comfortable and it was very quiet. Breakfast was really good and had lots of options.

We had a nice room in the fifth floor at the front of the hotel and there was substantial road noise all day and all night. That’s Sliema for you though. If noise bothers you it’s probably not the place for you.

It was clean and the staff were great. Nice breakfast too. Convenient for the ferry.

The balcony was very small, the chair didn't even fit in so we couldn't sit down outside. The pool area was a bit run down and the water was dirty. We couldn't use the outside pool because its not heated. Dont book just for the gym-wellness area, its not exactly how it seems on the pictures.

The location was perfect, and our room was big and clean. The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly. One of the cleaners made a heart out of our towels which was super nice! We loved the bar inside the lobby, good cocktails and prices. Restaurants and bars all around to choose from.

no option to check in early that we could see

Room is spacious and clean and in a very lovely and convenient location, right on the road of restaurants and looking out to the bay, easy public transport links from hotel and nice rooftop area for pool, you can catch the boat into Valetta city centre which is in walking distance and boat takes you across in about 10 mins for small fee (about 10/15mins along bay) lots of tourist information also in area.

Indoor heated pool tiling was poor needs recruiting as it appears grubby

Location and value for money

There should be a shelf and additional hooks in the bathroom. The spare pillows were not changed on regular basis.

Good breakfast, perfect location - bust stops nearby and walking distance to the Sliema - Valletta ferry. The rooms are specious enough for a couple, the beds are comfortable.

The bars directly below the room were really noisy till late at night, the road outside was like a motorway, really noisy and lots of traffic for 24 hours and every bedroom door slammed, nobody shut them quietly, just let them go, all through the night. The door closers need adjusting. We kept pointing out an open door which was constantly left open with a sheer drop down to the ground floor, just pipes, it was never locked and very dangerous for a child. Nobody locked it or put a lock on it. We were promised a taxi from the airport but no one came, the hotel staff just shrugged their shoulders, we had to book a taxi ourselves.

We had a sea view room and it was lovely to sit on the verandah watching the boats. There was a good breakfast.

Noisy, busy road when in a room on a low floor. Also, lots of students who were very loud in the early hours , very load music playing from their rooms

Close to shops, ferry to Valletta and sea view

The breakfast was not very diverse. But the main problem was with the electronic keys. I had to go and change them almost every time, I wanted to come in:-)

The size of the room was quite good, a bed was comfortable, the view was attractive enough, though it could be little bit calmer

Mould in shower cubicle. Very noisy and rude groups of ( Italian) teenagers who took up all the space in the bar.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Upgraded room with sea view. Great location for restaurants and buses to Valletta. Clean and well-equipped room/ great shower. Easy distance from the airport. Very small and slow lift.

The swimming pools were FREEZING so only the heated indoor small pool was useable. The sauna benches were broken so only open for half the stay. It seemed a bit run down inside the room, doorknobs came off bathroom door, ceiling very low, balcony door didn’t lock etc… nothing that affected our stay majorly but just something to note.

The location was great, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice but quite busy. The balcony was lovely and the shower worked great. Reception looked lovely and generally had a nice feel about the place.

We were unlucky to have some young people that smashed the doors at night. The picture of the nice pool are not from the hotel but a ‘sharing pool/restaurant’ cross the street.

For a 3 star hotel we had a very nice room, it was always clean and breakfast was very acceptable. The location is great and the perfect start for trips around the island!

We reached around 1130am but were not allowed to check in before 2pm which is ok as it’s mentioned already but I think the hotel staff could have tried to check us in. Anyways they let us use the luggage room which was good as we only had 2 days in Malta and couldn’t waste any time.. all in all very good and staff also did the best what they could do. Thanks

Breakfast was great. Room, location and staff also great. Thanks a lot to everyone at the hotel, we enjoyed our stay!!
