Primera Hotel Reviews

Room is clean,location is great,will definitely recommend to friends.

Really nice hotel with great rooms and nice balcony views of Bugibba. Close to Bugibba square and beach, food around and easy to catch a Bolt cab from

This is the second time in this hotel. The room was clean. However, some small details were missing. In the bathroom, no shelves to put our things on. The little extra is the balcony and the side view of the sea.

I traveled to Malta alone and chose the Primera Hotel as one of the cheapest options in Malta. In principle, the travel guide says that Valletta is the best place to stay, but I would not agree with this, as it is an hour from St. Paul's Bay to Valletta, an hour to the ferry to Gozo and half an hour to Rabat/Mdina. Excursions such as to the Blue Grotto only go via Valletta and it takes 2 hours by bus. However, you can combine this with a travel route via Valletta or as the last spot before the airport. The hotel was clean, the rooms were more than adequately equipped and for €8 you could book breakfast on site, which was a bit English but had something for everyone. The only thing that could be difficult is being able to eat more than just fruit and bread as a vegan.

The location of the hotel was excellent, the room was quite large and the service was discreet

Very good staff. It is worth it

Great welcome

This hotel was very good for its price, our room was perfect for two. We felt safe and very welcomed by the staff. The cleaners were very respectful and did an amazing job at replacing and tidying our room. The location of this hotel is 5/5 it is quite literally centre to everything you possibly need: food, drinks, cafes, restaurants, the beach(2 min walk), shops, food shops, souvenirs, plenty of bus stops too if you did want to travel out. The breakfast was lovely a nice start to the day and worth every penny. Our overall experience was all we could ever of hoped for, the only thing I will say is on trip advisor the pictures don’t really represent an up to-date version of the hotel as it has been refurbished. However the photos are somewhat up to date on love holidays where we booked this hotel through.

Went to Malta to visit family and stayed here. Lovely hotel. Staff all friendly. Close to bars / restaurants and cafes. Clean and modern decor. Room cleaned and towels replaced daily. Hotel had families/ couples and friends. Loved the pool area, was always quiet and has such a lovely view of the sea. Would definitely return!

They informed us upon check in that the room we’d be staying in is on a newly developed floor, but in no way was our room ready to host guests. It really felt like the interior of the room was there “just for show”. The wifi signal wouldn’t reach the 6th floor. There was a TV opposite the beds which was nice, but it couldn’t connect to the wifi. The beds, were actually camp beds, and their legs were bent, making me feel like it would snap any turn I make. We had a telephone in the room that wasn’t working. After having maintenance fix it through reception, it would still not connect to the reception. Our only choice was to head downstairs every time in case we needed something. The Air conditioner, which would not air condition at all, was actually a ventilation system! It was SUPER loud, and would turn on and off on it’s own every minute, waking us up in the middle of the night with its loud noise. There was a panel for it by the bed’s side, that would show temperature, fan speed etc, but wouldn’t change anything if we tampered with it, as the air was coming straight from the outside to the inside of the room, the panel was there just for show. There was almost no water coming through in the bathroom, forcing us to take 25mins each only to wash ourselves. The plumbing system was also clogged, eventually spilling water outside of the bathroom.. terrible. Even though it was spacious and a very nice looking room, only the small fridge and hair dryer were working properly. If you want to weigh your bags before your flight, be prepared to pay €1 for each bag you weigh, which is ridiculous. We didn’t complain though aside all this, as the staff of the hotel really do a great job of being the heart of it! Big thanks to the housekeeping, for changing our towels and tidying up our room every day. Big thanks also to the Ukrainian blonde lady, which would give us directions every time we asked with a big smile. And especially, big thanks to the big Serbian man that would take care of the night shifts. I regret not taking his name, but a note to the hotel’s management, don’t let that man go, he really does want to change the place for the better of its guests! The only reason I didn’t demand a room change, is because the staff was so understanding with us, and I really didn’t want to bother them! Kudos staff!

Hotel is centrally situated, close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Reception is very helpful, as is all the staff. Rooms are very clean and done on a daily basis, showers lack a shelf were one can put shamp etc. Restaurant is quite small. We were on full board basis, b/fast is good with a good selection of items; lunch and dinner are good as well. Overall I recomend the hotel as very good value for money.

Great hotel... don't listen to the bad reviews, go see and make your own mind up. Me and my partner stay here everytime we visit malta. Great location and close to the sea and square. Rooms are clean and staff are great. Never had any issues. Standard 3 star hotel but its lovley.

Apart from the staff - very good and helpful, The overall experience is below average. The room and the furniture is old and dated. Nothing like what you see in the pictures.

Had a very pleasant stay at Primera. Everything was great! A huge thank you to Mr. Paul at the reception desk. He was very helpful and informative of the hotel and Malta in general. I would stay here again!
