Seaview Hotel - Adults Only 16+

Set in Bugibba it is very handy for buses and ferries to visit places like Valletta or the high speed ferry to Gozo. The room we had was on the sixth floor and had a full sea view which was great. The room was kept beautifully clean (we dropped something between the twin beds and there was no dust at all under the beds when we went to retrieve the item). Breakfast was varied and there was a lot of choice. The rooftop pool offered really wide views across the bay although the ambience was spoilt by the number of plastic deck chairs packed in to a small space. So lovely when not too busy but not very appealing at other times (we paid to use a nearby beach club instead). We also had good quality massages in the hotel spa at a very reasonable price. Why only three out of five? We had a very poor service from reception. When we arrived at 11.30 am hot and sweaty we were not welcomed and no one explained we could use the pool or sit in the bar. No information was given about the hotel facilities or the local area to help us settle in. Nowhere was check in time advertised so we were unaware we would have a four hour wait anyway. Reception took our luggage but that was it….luckily during our time wandering we found a lovely beach club and that’s where we spent some of our holiday. We had great service from two waiting staff at breakfast, JULIE AND DONNA, who actually gave us lots of information about places to visit and ways to get there, and we had some wonderful trips thanks to them, as well as a few nice meals in local restaurants. When we asked reception for information about local buses they sent us to talk to someone who was selling tours which is not what we wanted at all. So on the basis of the reception and lack of information and poor welcome experience we would not return.

We recently stayed at the Seaview Hotel in St Paul’s Bay, Malta, for 14 nights. Having had such a great stay last year, we booked again and requested Room we had last time on the seventh floor, which the hotel kindly allocated to us. We really appreciated that, as we love the side sea view from this room. Overall, we had another enjoyable holiday, but we did notice a few changes compared with last year. The biggest disappointment was the infinity pool on the 10th floor. Last year it was available into the evening, but this year it closes at 6:00 pm so the area can be turned into the Top Deck Bar restaurant. As this isn’t a budget hotel and saying it’s 4 star , it was disappointing not to be able to enjoy a relaxing evening swim after a day out. What made this more confusing was that the check-in information still states that the infinity pool is open until 10:00 pm. This clearly needs updating so guests know the current opening times when they arrive. The room was comfortable and well maintained, although the shower door didn’t close properly, leaving a puddle of water on the bathroom floor after every shower. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. There was plenty of choice, but some of the hot dishes, such as Swedish meatballs and chicken in cream sauce, seemed like unusual breakfast options. We felt the breakfast wasn’t quite as good as it was on our previous visit. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There seems to have been quite a high turnover since last year, and we only recognised one member of staff—a lovely lady in the restaurant who remembered us and was as friendly and hardworking as ever. Despite these points, we still had a lovely holiday. The hotel is in a great location, the rooms are comfortable, and we’d happily stay again. It just didn’t quite match the excellent experience we had last year, which is why we’re giving it 4 stars rather than 5.

We had a wonderful stay, everyone was very friendly and efficient. The room was well equipped, we had everything we needed. It also had a few EU outlets (in addition to UK ones), which was very helpful since I forgot my adapter at home. :) The hotel is located next to the beach promenade, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets around. The rooftop infinity pool is a bit small, but super nice - we spent most of our time chilling there. :) A few more sun loungers in the shade would be better, but we always managed to find space. On the down side, there was some noise from outside and other guests, but it was manageable. Overall, a great hotel! Thank you to the entire Seaview hotel team!

Beautiful hotel, clean, air conditioned, staff extremely friendly & helpful. Nothing was ever too much. Room was spacious, had everything we needed, towels were changed every day. Just a lovely hotel & quite close to Bugibba square

We stayed in this hotel as a group of 8 for my daughters 21st in early June. We arrived in the early hours and check in was really quick though myself and my daughter were given the wrong room even though I had emailed before as her room I had paid to have decorations and a bottle of wine in. The rooms were nice and beds were very comfortable.. Our balcony was huge and was side view but could see the sea. Would ask to be that side rather than the side of nine lives as my friend got kept awake with noise, our air conditioning was also not as good as our families but there is also a strong fan in rooms. Great that the sate is free and has a fridge. Towels could be slightly larger. The rooftop swimming pool and bar is gorgeous, we did spend a lot of time there. Such amazing views and the bar was good value and food good. The lifts could be a bit temperamental though. You could also get 241 cocktails up on the rooftop between 7-8pm. These were lovely but you have to get up there quite early to get them ordered as gets busy. The indoor pool area is lovely, nice for some pace and quiet and relief from the sun. There is steam and sauna and lovely showers. Gym is an ell equipped too. Breakfast was lovely and had a great selection with lovely views. Location was perfect right on front of the resort and nice to walk up promenade. Staff friendly and everything so clean. Also pool towels provided and could be changed each day which was handy. We managed to get a late check out room which was handy and reasonable. And you must try the waffles that the place outside the hotel does, they were so good. All in all c a lovely hotel and would return.
