We spent 10 days at 1926 La Solei for our family holiday and we had a splendid time. I’ll get the basics out of the way first: clean rooms, big showers, a nice gym, free spa access that was also very clean. I had two spa treatments when I was there and they were both great and I felt very relaxed after them. We all frequented the beach bar several times on this occasion and it had some of the best sun loungers, especially on the top deck with a shade to cover your face if you wanted to. Access to the pool and sea was a great option. The food at the beach club was top notch, as were the drinks. You could easily share a burger for two if you wanted a light lunch or there are so many seafood and sushi options. Huge shout out to Enzo! Thanks for making our experience at the beach club so great. It was a pleasure for you to be our host 😊 also a big thanks to the other staff members - you were great. The rooftop pool at the hotel was one you needed to book via the app and we spent a couple of afternoons there. The gazebos didn’t get much wind and we got too hot sitting there. We preferred the loungers by the pool. My main point of negative feedback about this area was the pool needed a bit of TLC - tiles were falling off the sides and some of the paint was peeling off the bottom of the pool. It’s more of a dip in pool rather than a swimming pool. We also ate on the rooftop and the food and service was great. We spent most evenings having a pre-dinner cocktail at the hotel bar and the cocktails were delicious! There’s a happy hour 4-7pm every day on classic cocktails but I also tried some of the other cocktails including the Melon Mist which was delicious. The rum of eden was my sister’s favourite. Another huge shoutout to Min Kumar for making delicious drinks and serving us with five star quality. Thank you! We also visited both the Michelin restaurant on the rooftop of the hotel and Margaux which is next to the hotel bar. Both were amazing. I’ll likely do individual reviews of both. Le ge vie was a value for money Michelin experience. Great service, fantastic wine, and the food was stellar. Thank you to all the staff for making our experience there a brilliant one. (This was our most expensive meal of the trip so I wouldn’t recommend if you’re on a tight budget). The food at Margaux have generous portions on both the starters and mains. So if you’re not a huge eater, consider sharing some dishes. Thank you to Sohel for looking after us and also bringing poached eggs to my dad in the morning at breakfast. I have truly got the rest and recovery I was looking for from this trip. Excellent hospitality, service, food & drinks. If you want a top-notch experience in Malta, this is the hotel for you. Thanks again 💚
Excellent Service. Just got back after 10 days at the 1926 with my family (which includes two daughters in their 20's) and we had a wonderful time. My wife and daughters all had a few treaments at the spa, which they loved. But the biggest positive of this trip was the service. There are loads of staff always willing to help, most noteable Enzo at the Beach club plus Sohel and Min Kumas at the main hotel. We where B&B (coffee is fab) but we also eat at all the restraunts and they are all good value icluding.
Short break with my daughter and the hotel was perfect! Excellent location as not far from airport and easy access to ferries for Valetta and day cruises around the island and to Gozo, Comino, Blue Lagoon. Promenade walk available all the way to St Julian's Bay. Plenty of hotel staff on hand to help, in all areas, and they were all very pleasant. Loved the pool area by the sea and the rooftop pool. My daughter made use of the gym which she said was great. We only ate at the restaurant by the sea / pool area and the food was well presented, delicious and the service excellent. Would totally recommend this hotel - perfect base for exploring Malta with some R&R.
Arrival- We recently stayed for 1 week and had a very nice time. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and always greet you with a good morning or have a nice day. We arrived really early and were welcomed with the option to leave our luggage and go & make use of the beach club which was great.
Room- We had a superior room which was on the 8th floor, very nice & modern, cleaned each day to a high standard only slight negative was the musty smell but nothing to complain about really. Air con was excellent which was very much needed in 35 degree heat!
Food & Drink- We dined at the Le GV Michelin restaurant 1 night which was an incredible experience, we had room service which was really easy to order on the app and came efficiently and was delicious. We ate in Margaux once also which was really nice. Breakfast was a good choice of continental & hot food. Good coffee too.
La Plage Beach Club - We had a great time enjoying the beach club daily, the view from the pool over the ocean is amazing as is the food & drinks. The only negatives I can say are the charges for water as you're not allowed to bring in any food or drink. Whilst I can understand this to a certain degree, charging €4.50 for 1 bottle of water is not right in my opinion, especially when you can buy 6 x 1ltre bottles at the local spar for €3.95. Water should be allowed to be brought in in such extreme temperatures. Also the pool is in need of some maintenance, lots of missing tiles and the edging peeling away in parts so does look a little tired.
Overall we had a great stay and would recommend it.
1926 le Soleil is a 4-star boutique hotel that is advertised on numerous websites as a luxurious, affordable hotel. We’re a couple who have stayed at several of the most beautiful hotels worldwide and are always on the lookout for other outstanding hotels—preferably ones that aren’t part of the major hotel chains (Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt…)—and, based on the exceptionally good reviews, we chose this hotel despite its 4-star rating.
To start with, it’s worth noting that the hotel definitely goes out of its way to resolve issues as quickly as possible; the staff and management are very attentive, and the spa’s design is truly well done.
Unfortunately, however, the hotel didn’t live up to our expectations, and we couldn’t understand the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Le Soleil is primarily geared toward guests on a quick getaway, and as a result, attention to detail is lacking. We had booked a Junior Suite, which was in the same price range as 5-star competitors. Unfortunately, the room didn’t live up to the beautifully staged photos on the website, and the cleanliness was truly borderline. Hair and stains from previous guests on the bed, dirt in the corners, stains on the towels and pillows, and the rather cheap furnishings showed severe signs of wear and tear. Unfortunately, other small details were also overlooked (turn-down service, towels, bath mat, etc.), and the shower water was only lukewarm.
In summary, if you’d rather spend less time in your room and more time exploring the surrounding area and the spa, this is the place for you. If you’re expecting a more upscale—and, above all, cleaner—experience, as advertised, you’ll likely end up disappointed.
