St Georges Park Reviews

We had found about this site and had read the other reviews too late to cancel our arrangements so we went there anyway, in the hope it won't be so noisy in the pre-season (April 2005). But we were wrong. The hotel is in very noisy neighborhood, opposite three extremely loud night clubs with deafening music pounding until 5 a.m. Being unable to rest at night we couldn't properly enjoy the rest of the holiday.

The room itself was not bad, it was cleaned and the towels were replaced every day. But, the breakfast was the same every single day and there was only one kind of cheese and one kind of breakfast cereal. Being vegetarians we took most of ours meals at Pizza Hut.

The main error is advertising this hotel as 'family oriented'. It is not, it is only suited to young people who want to spend the nights in clubs and than sleep throughout the day. If you are going with a family (or if you want to rest), do not go to any hotel in St.Julians, including this one.

We booked our flights and accommodation direct over the net. I read all the reviews on this page too late to cancel. This complex was in an issue of HOLIDAYS FROM HELL ON TV. I contacted the hotel and raised my concerns and they responded promptly advising me that my family and I would be well looked after!!!

The complex doesnt look to bad on arrival, ensure though if its necessary to stay here you request a pool view. The complex is located in the heart of St Julians and is surrounded by nightclubs that stay open 24hours, it gets extremely busy at weekends as the locals come to st julians. The apartments are below average, the stains on the floor when we arrived looked like they had been there for months, the cleaners are more interested in seeing what you have in your luggage then cleaning your room. I came back to our apartment on one occassion to find a maid going through my things, when I challenged her she responded by walking out of the apartment, we had 600 cigarettes stolen from our luggage the night before we were due to fly home. We booked a taxi throught the hotel to take us to the airport, for your own safety do not do this, they overcharge you. I cannot think of anywhere we ate that I could recommend as the restaurants are unhygenic, most do not have loo paper or paper towels. I did not leave the apartment without loo roll in my handbag.

Valetta is a lovely place to visit, very quaint with nice shops, be sure to bring a shawl when you visit any churches.
We paid 150 to visit GOZO for the day and it was certainly not worth the money, our guide who was maltes was ignorant and to benefit from the tour you would need to be very religious. Save your money!!Some of our relatives stayed at Hotel Juliana and said the staff there couldnt do enough to help them.
I would not recommend ST GEORGES PARK / LA VALETTE

The hotel was dirty and very noisy. I thought it was like a youth hostel and would never ever go back to Malta. The streets are filthy and of a night were full of drunken teenagers. I went with my mates who had a four year old and we didnt go out of a night as we were worried what he would see and we are no prudes by far.
Malta is probably lovely but this part was terrible and i have never been to such poor accomodation!!!

We travelled to St Julien's in October half term; extremely apprehensive after reading several negative reports. We were however very pleasantly surprised to find that the reports were totally unfounded.

We were allocated a basic, but spotlessly clean room with a pool view which was cleaned daily as were the towels changed. The food was varied, and of a high standard. Whenever we took dinner be it 6.00pm or 9.30pm there was always a good choice.

The Airtours rep was very friendly and presented the best welcome meeting I have ever attended; crammed full of information and very honest about what could be expected on the island. The hotel entertainment was basic, including bingo, singers, kareoke and a band, but there are plenty places to go in the local area and we found some excellent bars.

It is true to say the resort is noisy, but it is stated clearly in the brochure that it is a lively resort. If you want a quiet holiday choose a different resort on the island like Buggiba or St Paul's Bay. We visited these areas by using the local bus service which is very reliable and extremely cheap (if a little shaky). The hotel itself has a very useful mini-market that sells anything you could possibly want and there are two well kept pools which we swam in every day with no complaints.

We both had a great time in Malta and would definitely return.

My wife,daughter and her friend booked a bargain basement holiday self catering with first choice and we had no idea which hotel we were staying in until we arrived in Malta.

When we arrived we were met by a lady from first choice called Pam who was very helpful.She told us that we were staying at st.georges park and that we were lucky as they did not normally send people there but the service was much better than at the sister hotel next door called la vallete. she said that the man who organised the food and service was her friend and that he would look after us. how right she was!

We found out that there is a new company running the food and service this year and all the people we spoke to said that they had never seen the pools look so clean and tidy and that the food was so much better than previous years.

As we were self catering we decided to try the restaurants on site and we were so very surprised.There is a pizza restaurant at st. georges park that serves the biggest pizza that I have ever seen, enough for four hungry adults.The bars are very well organised and the staff are friendly but i must say that the man who is in charge of this new company,Alistair, is the best manager we have ever met on holiday. He was very busy but he had time for every person in the restaurant and around the pool. My wife and the two girls just fell in love with him and i could not get them to leave the hotel at night in case they missed him! all the guests were saying how much he changed the atmosphere and how helpful he was and i find it strange to admit that another man made my holiday!

the entertainment in the hotel is excellent and pam and the first choice people organised us very well. my daughter and her friend are already organising a group of girls to go to st. georges park in October and my wife and i will return there next year for sure.it is a 3 star hotel but the service is definately 5 star. Thank you first choice,thank you Alistair,thank you st. georges park.
