Mercure St. Julian's Malta Hotel

We booked the privilege deluxe double room which we hoped would include some extra amenities but unfortunately the only element that felt privileged was being on a high floor. It was disappointing not to receive any additional benefits with our booking. Nonetheless, the room was a good size, modern, with a nice balcony and good air conditioning.

One big issue we had was the complete lack of storage space. There was only a single rail to hang clothes, with a ledge for everything else. The room had no drawers at all for storing belongings like underwear, meaning we had to keep clothes in our suitcases in order to avoid cluttering the room.

I can see that this hotel would be good for someone visiting for a short business trip but for a vacation it felt really limited.

The breakfast was one of the worst hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. We avoided it several times during our stay and regret adding it to our booking since there are so many places to eat nearby. The food was not fresh, the fried eggs were often like rubber, and the choices did not change once during the week meaning it gets very repetitive very quickly.

Despite these issues, we couldn’t fault the staff at all. They were attentive and helpful throughout our stay and responded to our issues quickly and efficiently.

Finally, the rooftop pool was pleasantly surprising, and we really enjoyed our time up there. From the pictures the area looks very small with limited sun loungers, but there is another area for sun lounging and sitting that is covered by umbrellas, along with a rooftop bar.

Amenities kinda poor for a global chain..
Rooftop views aren’t THAAT great..
