Cavalieri Hotel

Having stayed at this hotel on two previous occasions I had no hesitation in booking this hotel again as it is in a prime location. However, I was to be very disappointed. I had paid extra for a seaview room and with the single supplement it made my stay quite expensive. You cannot fault the view from this hotel. It is just magical! My first 2 nights were disrupted by the guests in the next room so after speaking to reception they agreed to move me to another room. A room that was not quite so nice and modern as the previous room. After complaining I was given a dinner voucher for a free meal in the hotels restaurant. Day 4 brought more problems, after there were issues with the hot water system, which affected all guests. Some guests, I learned had no water!! This breakdown took 2 days to be resolved, which I felt was unacceptable. My friends had a problem with a leaking toilet in their room, but this was resolved within 24 hours. There was no communication from the hotel to its guests about the issues with the lack of hot water, so reception staff were constantly getting asked for updates on the situation. There was a great choice of food available at breakfast. Buffet style catering which meant food was not always hot. Since my last visit to St Julians there has been a dramatic change. There has been lots of construction which includes Paceville. An area that is full of nightclubs and bars suitable for the over 18's. There are supermarkets within easy reach of the hotel for those everyday items. A brand new shopping centre is located approx 15 minutes walk from the hotel which includes stores like Adidas, Nike and Guess. In the basement of the same precinct you can go Go Karting. These are 20 minute sessions for a reasonable price. My group really enjoyed this. There are numerous bars and eateries in St Julians and the food is very reasonably priced. It actually is cheaper to eat out than in the hotel. I love Malta and its beautiful historic buildings, scenery, little towns and villages. I would return as there is so much more I want to discover. I would not however, stay at the Cavaleiri Hotel or St Julians again in July. Just far too busy for myself and my group. The hotel needs to change the ways in which they communicate problems and issues to their guests. Even though staff are polite there is a lack of care and concern. There seems to be no urgency in resolving issues. This hotel is now over 50 years old and I feel it needs some necessary updates as some areas are looking a bit dated and worn. Some updating was being carried out during our stay in some of the guest rooms and painting of some of the outside areas. Such a shame we had a negative stay at this hotel.

Had a lovely week at this hotel, the location was great for what we wanted, sun bathing and then being able to cool down in the Med in about 5 steps. The hotel is close to town but far enough to be away from the strip if that's not your thing We stayed Half Board and enjoyed the food, breakfast was good and the evening buffet had nice variety. The crucial question is would I stay here again and the answer is a definite Yes 👍

We had a great time. With the Mediterranean Sea outside the door and the sundeck with the pools, is this a great place to relax. The staff is nice and they are always there at your service. The bathrooms is a bit small and the air conditioning is turning off by it self. The beds is a bit hard for our liking. It was our second time staying at this hotell, and it will not be our last.
