Alexandra Hotel in St Julians

Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

I recently stayed at this 3-star hotel and overall, it was a decent experience. The hotel has 7 floors and features a rooftop pool (unheated), which is a nice touch for warmer days. There's also a small indoor pool with a side jacuzzi on the -1 floor, along with a sauna that unfortunately wasn't working during my stay. The gym is also located on that level, but the equipment is quite outdated—mostly older machines and a few treadmills.
Breakfast was average—not terrible, but it could definitely be improved. The coffee from the machines was particularly disappointing. One of the positives is the hotel's location: it's well-connected, and bus lines to the airport are conveniently close, which is a big plus. However, the surrounding area can be noisy at night, which might disturb light sleepers.
One thing to be aware of: the hotel requires a €150 security deposit, which wasn't clearly stated on the booking page—something that should be more transparent.
In summary, the hotel is generally okay for a short stay, but there's room for improvement in terms of amenities, breakfast quality, and service transparency.

Good hotel if you’re just wanting somewhere close and easy to all the bars and clubs.

We stayed for 5 nights. Our bedding was never changed and neither were our towels.
We got pool towels but if we wanted fresh ones it was $2.

Some staff were lovely and others were a bit rude and abrupt.

Rooftop pool was freezing so never went in.
The gym had the heating on so it was very sweaty and nowhere to fill up a bottle of water.

Breakfast was alright, good selection.

Good area around lots of shops restaurants and bars
