Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The San Anton Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The San Anton Hotel is often chosen for its spacious rooms, some even including an extra bed and balcony, offering pleasant views of the inner court and pool. Guests appreciate the convenience of having shops and restaurants right on the same street, as well as being within a short walk of bus stops and the boulevard. Breakfast at the Irish Pub is generally well-received, particularly the English breakfast and omelette, but a few guests have noted that the mattresses could be improved. With a nice pool and generally good value, it's a popular base for exploring St Paul's Bay.

friendly staff helpful staff convenient bus access easy bus access triple room balcony room old bathroom dated bathroom insecure door single socket

i booked a triple room balcony. the staff was friendly and helpful. the location is good with easy access to buses that go to mellieha or valletta (which i found very convenient).

the bathroom fixtures seemed a bit old (it's alright). the door to the room didn't feel secure for leaving valuables. i only found one available power socket near the bed.

cracked sink dated bathroom

The pool was fine I guess, and the location was a short walk from the main area.

This place looked like it was stuck in the '70s. The bathroom had a cracked sink. The shower curtain had seen better days, and the whole room was like it needed a serious scrub down.
