The G Hotel by JL

9th floor of ten with a fairly spectacular view. Just above St George street, so it could get a bit noisy at times, even though the balcony doors made a good job of keeping most of the noice outside. Room looked recently renovated and in good condition. Lift in the building was a bit wonky, and it could really try your patience, watching the doors slide open and closed, open and closed, with complimentary commenting from the lift itself in a cool British voice. Staff was friendly and helpful, and if ever going back to Malta, I'd definitely check this hotel for availability again.

I travelled solo and self check in process is very smooth

The staff at this hotel are incredibly kind and helpful, I was very happy with my interactions and the level of hospitality. Like any place in Malta there were ants that got into the room, so make sure to keep any food put away in an air tight container. The location is right on the busiest street so there are many things to do and see within walking distance. You may need to walk a few blocks if you need to be picked up by a uber/bolt. There are also restaurants of every kind within a minutes walk from the front door! The downside to the location is that it is noisy at all times. The rooms provide a certain level of privacy but I could easily hear the elevator and other guests while in my room. I left for the day and came back in the evening to a nicely cleaned room with the fan/AC turned on- however I’m not sure how long it was on as it was dripping and creating a puddle on the floor and that was a bit concerning. The cell reception in my room was extremely minimal and the WiFi only worked in one specific spot, up against the bathroom wall. I work remotely and it made things very difficult. I’m overall happy with my stay but as a working, solo traveler in my 30s, it was not the best spot for me. If you like to be at the center of the party, this would be an ideal location for you!

The hotel is located between Spinola Bay and Paceville. George's Bay is also a close walk. Many places to eat nearby both cheap eats and classy restaurant. The staff are very helpful. Internet inside the room is weak but we used the connection from the reception at Level 1.

The best thing about this hotel was the staff who were upbeat, chatty and kind to me. I stayed during the week but little did I know that this is some kind of loud party area. I couldn't sleep until around 04:00 when the drunkards managed to stagger off somewhere else. There was also a lot of car revving in addition to shouting. The bathroom was very run down, with some mould in one corner and the shower was falling apart. The air conditioner barely worked and there was a dirty mark on the bed sheet. The communication prior to arrival was completely absent in contrast to many other hotels I have stayed at where they send me door codes and everything in advance. It was stressful arriving, but thankfully the staff helped me via telephone. Finally there is poor mobile internet reception in the area so don't assume you can just look up your reservation at the door.
