Le service housekeeping pas au top non plus.
Le plus,c'est la gentillesse du personnel!!
Everything about the hotel was looking awesome.
When we got to our room it was kind of depressing because there was no real window and no daylight at all (We chose the cheapest room there was).
After 1 night in that room, I decided it was time for an upgrade to a prettier room with more light.
The very kind team at the front desk in the lobby told us about our options and we decided for a room with a balcony and seeview (highly recommended).
The room we moved to was very nice. Bigger, more comfortable and most importantly: there was daylight and a balcony!!
The people at the reception even gave us a discount on the upgrade :)
But besides the new beautiful room, the great service and a very friendly team made our stay in the Solana Hotel & Spa unforgettable and very enjoyable.
There was the option to book a boat tour at the reception of the hotel which we would definitely recommend as well (we chose the “northern luxury cruise”).
Sadly we didn’t have enough time to really enjoy every pool, massage and sauna the hotel offered because there was so much else to do.
To sum everything up: We had a great time in and around the hotel, and the staff was very friendly and kind, which I’m very grateful for.
I would definitely recommend coming here if you’d like to visit Malta and I hope to come back here again soon.
Besides that I definitely recommend investing a little more money and going with a room with a balcony. It’s definitely worth it!
L’hôtel est situé loin du centre ville mais la vue sur la mer qu’elle donne vaut le coup.
We booked a long weekend, and Melieha, a little far away from the capital, is indeed less busy, and perfect for walkers like us.
It is a 20min walk to the seashore up north, through a winding road, narrow pavement, but very doable. Many people alternatively take the local bus which is regular, and very civilised too, but we decided to walk.
Melieha cathedral, visible from our room windows, and also when you walk, stands majestically at the highest point of Melieha, and has bars all around it, and from the hotel is a 10min walk.
Staff is friendly, available, and effective, made us feel welcome, provided all that we needed throughout, low season indeed, but well managed at early/mid October 2023 when we stayed!
Yes strange how at breakfast you get to see how full the hotel is, as you don't get to see all those guests about when you are in lobby and social hotel areas at other times. Coffee machines at times needed replenishing with milk coffee etc but in general it all worked well for the busy times we'd seen.
Two restaurants as well, the al-a-carte Tosca, and the main buffet, where breakfast is held, and also where most half-board guests choose to have their included dinner.
We chose our half board dinner meal at Tosca, the other restaurant, instead of main buffet restaurant. For this we needed to book in advance, and depends on availability.
Breakfast is varied, and complete, full English breakfast, porridges, continental, and cereal, yogurts, great variety of fresh fruits, choices for every person.
Tosca dinner was refined, a three course meal, choices for starter, mains, and pudding, and a VIP treatment - loved it!
The fact this hotel a little far from the capital Valletta, was another nice detail, but of course, an opinion and depends on own values and preferences, we like to walk, and less crowded more personalised experiences.
Melieha area is much quieter than Valletta, no comparison.
We went to the capital, 30min on uber, or 45by bus which is regular.
Valletta is buzzying with people, kiosks and coffee shops everyhere, noisy, lively, very touristic! Uber, 30min, circa EUR35 - also the option to take the bus is interesting, could have been an experience, but not one we'd gone for then.
Hotel facilities also nice, rooftop pool with beach towells, bathrobes, sauna (i didn't go), rooftop bar by the pool, gym, very complete. The rooftop pool area has a wonderful view, and the pool bar offers a happy hour 2cocktails for the price of one (at least at the time mid Oct-23 Fri to Mon 4 days when I was there)
Would definitely recommend Solana! A great choice of a stay! Thank you!!!
We'd definitely come back.

If an expensive place praises itself for its excellent breakfast, expectations are high. Reality, however, is different. Half of the tables are reserved for groups that don't appear, reducing available space to a daily quest in finding a slot. Coffe is only available at one slow brewing machine...resulting in large lines. The second machine doesn't work, and even after complaining nothing happend. Coffee cups seem to be a rare object, there aren't enough and hence never available.
Notice that the building is being extended and, by October 2023 construction work is going on.
La restauration était très bien aussi avec de bons petit déjeuners et des repas variés le soir.
Le camere sono spaziose e con tutti i confort necessari per una vacanza, soprattutto la cucina in camera é stata a noi molto comoda, per chi come me ha figli piccoli e preferisce farli mangiare prima e cose semplici, né vale.
Ci siamo spostati all'ultimo piano nel pomeriggio e siamo rimasti senza fiato, piscine con vista Malta molto bella.
In serata il personale della reception mi ha aiutato a ritrovare il cellulare e devo ringraziare tantissimo Bianka per la pazienza, l'empatia, la gentilezza e la disponibilità.
Noi ci siamo trovati molto molto bene, lo super consigliamo! Grazie Claudia
Room service is quick too. It has 2 swimming pools, and 3 restaurants. Plenty of options to make your stay relaxed and enjoyable. Will recommend.
