Great hotel for a family stay - superb facilities but remains peaceful and tranquil
We have recently returned from a 12 night stay at the Kempinski - family of 4 with two teenagers 16 & 17. We all had a great time and would highly recommend. We deliberated for ages on whether to stay on mainland Malta or Gozo, but decided in the end to base ourselves on Gozo and do a few day trips to Malta. We were so glad we decided this. Gozo is a beautiful island with so much to do and the Kempinski was the perfect base - would recommend hiring a car for flexibility, but ubers are also readily available. The hotel is lovely - very peaceful and tranquil, large pool areas with plenty of loungers available at any time of day and excellent pool bar service. There is also a lovely indoor pool which opens at 7am and was great for an early swim before breakfast. We didn't eat much in the restaurants as we tended to eat out around the island for dinner, but the breakfast each morning was fantastic - very wide range of items and a choice of eating on the large terrace or inside.
There is also a small supermarket and craft village within walking distance to the hotel for picking up snacks, light lunches etc and also much nicer souvenirs than you get in the seaside shops.
Rooms are great, very comfortable with all amenities - we had a pool view room, I was worried this might be a bit noisy but it wasn't at all.
The only slight downside for me is that the hotel is inland so no beach/sea view - but we knew this before we booked and it was far outweighed by the other advantages of this hotel over others we looked at. There is also a daily shuttle bus to nearby Ramla Bay (the main sandy beach on Gozo) and Victoria in the centre - and there are plenty of other beautiful bays around the island to visit.
The Kempinski staff are great - always helpful with any queries we had.
Overall I would highly recommend this hotel - although it is large it is very peaceful and tranquil with great service and every detail seems to have been thought of. Would also highly recommend Gozo as a place to stay and the ferry back to Malta is very quick/easy/inexpensive for visits to Malta.
Excellent all round
We had a fabulous stay at the Kempinski. We had two superior rooms at the front of the hotel, both of which were clearly newly refurbished and excellent. The hotel is beautiful, immaculately maintained and very comfortable. All the staff without exception were ready to help with anything. Breakfast was outstanding, a mix of buffet and a la carte, on a beautiful terrace. We had a really great time and would definitely stay again.
Perfect
Just came for breakfast today for my husband's birthday. We were served by the friendly waiter Fabien. He is very welcoming and pays attention to all guests. Highly recommended.
Beautiful relaxing hotel
We had an outstanding stay at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz and would absolutely return.
Our room was stunning: large, beautifully finished and thoughtfully renovated. The hotel is gorgeous without feeling overly formal, and the grounds and pools are as impressive as they look in photos.
Breakfast was one of the best hotel buffets we have had in a long time, with a huge selection and excellent quality. Dinner was also excellent, and the bar made a proper martini.
Service was generally warm and professional, with staff making the hotel feel easy rather than fussy. Pool-bar service could occasionally be inconsistent, but this was a minor issue that did not detract from the stay.
The location was perfect for us: Gozo’s slower pace made the Kempinski an ideal base for exploring the island and returning to afterward. Beautiful hotel, excellent food, amazing pool, comfortable rooms and an overall outstanding experience. We loved it.

High quality 'lux' experience
We stayed at the Kempinski for three nights. The room and bathroom were of a good size, and it was well-maintained, if a little bit plain. We had a balcony area that overlooked the children’s pool, which we would recommend avoiding if you are looking to enjoy a quieter visit. The pool areas are excellent though. There is an adult-only pool which was screened from the children’s play pool on both sides with vegetation, so the noise did not interfere with grown-up relaxation. The adult-only pool is very deep - the kind for swimming and cooling off, not for hanging around in, which more than anything else seemed to naturally keep the children away. Staff were friendly and proactive at ensuring we had drinks and what we needed to enjoy our time by the pool. It was a big pool, with plenty of shade and loungers. The breakfast at the Kempinski was really excellent - very comprehensive, expansive and varied. It had all of the usual options, along with a few unusual ones, and it had a luxury feel to it. The shared spaces all had an elevated feel, especially the indoor pool and spa areas, and the coffee bar.
