We only stayed one night. We were spending the time with family visiting from the UK. We live in Malta, but have long weekends in local hotels. The Santana is among the top 5.

Family visit

Friendly hotel near amenities and shops, plenty of choice at breakfast but could do with food being a bit warmer ., fruit juice is terrible.. otherwise a very pleasant stay.
albert david, 8-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately we didn't realise the room we have booked it was very small (the door didn't open because of the bed, there was no space to walk around the bed). The bathroom was very small and damp, no balcony, only a small window. The window was pointing towards the inner garden terrace which had karaoke, loud music and loud conversations.
Anamaria, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property is dated and is in need of a refurbishment. The in house singing and quiz nights are extremely loud and terrible. The breakfast and dinner buffets are not great.

Great hotel and value for money

All the staff were excellent, extremely helpful, polite, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I used the indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and had 2 massages all very good. The food was excellent. The hotel was very clean everywhere, well maintained, i would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone. Well done a very enjoyable stay
N, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it.

They couldn't find my booking, and I had to wait for almost 2.5 hours and then ended up paying for the night. I had to wake up early and got a refund for the first night after 2 days. I had to ask for compensation so they upgraded my room. After being in the room, I observed several bugs. Some of the staff was also rude.
Varun, 5-night trip

Nice hotel, facilities, breakfast and staff. Could do with an updated bathroom as looking a bit tired. Great price as out of season.

Excellent, safe, clean and great location

We really enjoyed our stay at Santana. I came on my own with my 2 children and felt really safe. The hotel staff were friendly, breakfast was excellent and location was perfect for wandering around or getting buses.
Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel, good location

Our third stay here and as good as previously. Although the bus station is so near and convenient the hotel is in a quiet location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Room had everything we needed. Particularly liked the room lighting. Often hotels have bedroom lighting too dim to read by. Reception staff very helpful.. Will stay again.
Mrs.M F, 10-night trip

This property is in a central location and has excellent facilities. The staff are all very friendly and the rooms very spacious and clean.We have stayed at this hotel 7 times now and would delivery recommend it to others.

Colin James, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's a nice hotel. The zone would be beautiful, but for me they ruined the landscape by building too much.
Massimo Valerio, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice well maintained hotel. We had hired a car so the free car park opposite was a bonus. Near to many restaurants, breakfast at the hotel was good. Roof top bathing area with a pool was super, if cold, just what you needed in the heat. Room was nice and clean but bed a bit hard.

Good breakfast, but a bit repetitive, no mushrooms or grilled tomatoes.

I had a great welcome from the reception staff. I also loved the hotel’s tour guide, Annie, who gave me great advice on what to do and what to do in Malta. She really took the time to explain everything to me in detail and with a smile. I'll be back. Dianking

10/10 Exceptional

Whenever I visit Malta this is the only hotel I ever book. Over the years there have been many enhancements to the property and the Santana just keeps getting better and better. Staff are always friendly and the hotel is situated in the perfect spot to get to anywhere on the island with the bus station very close by. Last visit I got upgraded to an executive suite, so thank you Santana! :) Only one slight niggle, the linen and towels are the next thing to upgrade, they’re all a bit thin and worn. But overall, a brilliant place to stay.
