Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed in this hotel during the off-season, and while the location was excellent—close to great restaurants and scenic walking areas—the overall experience was mixed. The suite was small and awkwardly designed, with a poorly placed TV. Cleanliness was an issue, with trash bags left in the hallways, and construction noise disrupted the stay. The breakfast buffet was repetitive and lacked freshness. Service was inconsistent; the lobby staff were friendly, but the bar staff less so. The wellness facilities felt dated, though the massage itself was great thanks to the professional spa team. For the low price, it was acceptable, but we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Excellent hotel located in Melhelia village. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet was excellent with endless food options and drinks with meals a definite plus. We used the spa facilities and were not disappointed - excellent value for money. Would highly recommend this hotel and it's facilities and look forward to visiting again soon

Nice enough but definitely more geared towards package holiday guests. Shame the outdoor pools are not heated and hot tubs not working - that was annoying when it is advertised as part of the hotel amenities. Outdoor pools and sauna close at 8.00pm which is annoying. Should be later to accommodate guests post-dinner

I had an amazing stay at Solana. The area was perfect for me as I enjoy quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacations (if you’re looking to party stay in St Julian’s). The outdoor pools are amazing, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous it was. My only criticism is that the male staff (middle aged European man) at Prickly Pear was very rude to me for no reason. The first day I was there, I went up to the pool & I saw others being brought food & drinks to their sunbed. When the server was done bringing their items, I asked him how to order; his response was ‘there’s supposed to be a QR code on your umbrella but there’s not.’ And he just walked away. I decided to use my neighbors QR code since my umbrella didn’t have one, and when he brought me my food he gave me attitude about it. The next day when I ordered food (I had a QR code at my sunbed this time) he was weirdly aggressive & rude to me again. I just got strange energy from him, he wasn’t kind and helpful like all of the other staff there. This deterred me from even ordering food while at the pool because I didn’t want to see him. Otherwise I had an extremely pleasant stay, & I would stay there again.

Loved our stay at the solana hotel. Just a few minutes walk to beaches and swimming spots. You have to walk down a hill to access these but there are buses running regularly which we made use of when returning back to the hotel. Loads of places to eat and drink as soon as you exit the hotel. We used the spa at the solana. Had a hot stone massage and a face massage. Wow. What an amazing experience. Parking available for hotel guests at a small charge daily. All in all a great hotel. We had such a relaxing time and the staff were all so helpful and great at what they do. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay there again.

The hotel itself really nice and clean. Rooftop swimming pools are great and the highlights of the hotel. We had breakfast and one first day we went from their opening which is 7.30am and not all hot food was ready. We had couple SPA and it was Devine! Our room had small balcony and dripping water from the sealing in the bathroom. These few minuses didn’t affect our holiday too much. I would go to the hotel again if return to Malta.

The property is a part of the Corinthia and Radisson as a sister property. Therefore, they share joined amenities which is a plus. It’s far enough away from Paceville to where you don’t hear all the partying and nightlife but still walkable to wear you can join in the festivities if you choose. The staff was friendly, the beds were comfortable and the rocky shores of the Mediterranean are just a stone throw away. Cons: I was in room 17632 (I think) on the 6th floor. Well…the lift only goes to the 5th floor. Solo traveler walking up a flight of stairs with luggage wasn’t ideal, but manageable. The bedroom never did cool down to my liking. Even at night it was warm. The deluxe room wasn’t really a deluxe to my standards. The room was outdated and only one electrical outlet that was useable and it was no where near the bed. There aren’t any modern appliances like lamps with integrated usb cables (I know I’m just being bougie) so if you carry a lot of tech with you, bring a backup power supply and charge when you can. I’m an amateur YouTuber/Videographer so this was essential. In general, the hotel was well kept but I do think the room could use more attention. They can also use an upgraded access control system or card less key system like the mobile access solution HID offers. The hotel is still using the old magtek cards that looses its data on the magstripe very easily. Meaning…I hope you like the added exercise and inconvenience of running to the lobby for reprogramming!
