Basic with a lit if renovation

Basic hotel with lots of renovation going on. Both outdoor and indoor pool out of use. Otherwise was ok.

Fantastic stay at Porto Azzurro

Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very nice. The outdoor pool was clean but cool. The balcony was big enough to enjoy but the Roman Road was one of the highlights above the hotel! Cool beehives and old homes to explore in.

4/10 Fair

It is a construction site!

Not recommend at all! No indoor pool, no outdoor pool, no sunbathing area, bar was a completely mess, it was not funcioned. Basically nothing functioned. The whole hotel is a ruin! Everywhere is dirt, rude front office, poor breakfast. During the week, they only provided 2 times some fruits (literally wrotten orange and apple), the rest is more basic than basic.Bed is unconfortable, thr bedlinen had bloody spots! Only positive thing is the kindness of the waiter guy and the cleaning lady.
Benjamin, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for one night

The hotel is a bit dated... all the facilities were closed yet they didn't mention it on the site. We had a huge balcony not facing the sun and a tiny room and the hot air system irritated me so we sat in the cold on the apartment. Overall it's ok but not somewhere I would have wanted to stay very long

A fantastic stay at Porto Azzurro Aparthotel

As previous stays, this stay was very pleasant. Staff very nice and helpful, room (actually we had an apartment) clean and very spacious. Pool also very nice. Only snag is that so far there is no pool bar.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Served a purpose!

For the price the penthouse was really nice. The facilities are tired and it isnt the most accessibility friendly layout. The staff were ok, you have to leave your key at reception everytime you go out.
Abi, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was great. Easy parking, good location. Rooms and pool were nice. We did the half board, and the dinner could have been better. The food options were okay, but the dessert was disappointing. Kids were excited about the soft serve machine but the ice cream was just watery sweet. I liked the dinner convenience, but the quality needs improvement.
Valerie Meyers, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good Value, Great Staff & Beautiful Location

Great Staff and very welcoming with great explanations of how the hotel works, the room was great for the value and in good condition. The location of the hotel is close to the water and close to local transport to get around to other parts of the island.
Alexander, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value hotel

We had a very enjoyable stay. Room good size and clean. Friendly staff and good value for money. Pool area needs some TLC, sunbeds in need of replacement. But in all we would definitely stay again.

The property was run down dirty wasp nest ants and in the middle of nowhere

Stay at Porto Azzurro

Room very clean, inside and outside pools ok. Catering facilities very limited since there was a shift in management.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only thing that I didnt like is that the property is lets say far away from a lot of things, overall the breakfast is ok, it can use more options. Staff is good.
Uros, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice penthouse with a view

The penthouse was great! Top floor overlooking the bay. All equipments were nice. The resort is a little old but well renovated. Staff members were nice and welcoming. The bed comfort is OK but not the best. Kitchen is nice and well equiped. We would have appreciated dishwashing liquid and something to wash the dishes. Overall, a great stay.
Stephane, 5-night trip

The bed wasn’t comfortable. All other things were perfect
8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect base for traveling

The people on reception were very nice and helpful. Arrived late and was no bother at all. The apartments themselves were a decent size, just a bit dated but nothing too bad. We went before the season started so outdoor pool wasn't open. No problem though they had an indoor one. We just used it as a base and bis stop and shop just down the pathe from here.

No pub No restaurant No pool.

This hotel had no bar and no restaurant open. This hotel was freezing. This hotels pool was closed and not open until May The porter opemed the bar for a couple of hours. But the beer was put of date absolute disgrace
Eugene, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hostel standard.

Absolutely nothing good to note. Air conditioning that sounds like a fire alarm, shower that dribbles water so cant actually use, bed sheets that are yellow, doors that dont lock. Genuinely shocked that this would even be given a 1 star ive stayed in better hostels as a kid !
1-night trip

6/10 Good

We only got 2 small bodywash when the two of us stayed there for 3 nights. When we asked for more all we got were excuses and refusal. They want to get money for every little thing - the blue towel for using the pool, the adaptor... The bed was terribly uncomfortable.
Eszter, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Everything was wrong, TV doesn't come with remote control, extra 10 euro for remote. Then it didn't work, when fixed only 2 channels and not good dirty rooms, stained sheets towels old and thorn ,reception desk don't care, never got a wakeup call, laundry done in the middle of walk way, very unhygienic someone should send the health department 😉. I will
Alfred, 15-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overcharged - would not go back

Hotel was ok, bit old but it's not worth the money we have paid. We were asked to pay 24 euros on top of what we paid because for some reason children age was not stated. Our booking was for 2 adults and 2 children but children age showed as 0 age, I don't know how as you can't really select 0, as 0 is for infant. Totaling the money we paid we could get much better hotel. Thee are no instructions how to get to the hotel, despite my request how it get there and for any directions nobody replied to my request. We had to take a taxi as we traveled in the evening. Receptionist was rude and only he was care about charging us extra for the kids, taxes. There was no remote control for the TV I guess you need to ask and who knows they would charge for that too. I would not recommend to friends and family and would not go back there.

Hyvällä paikalla, lähellä sukelluskeskusta (ABC Diving Malta). Kamojen kuivatus elineitä voisi olla vaikka pienestä lisämaksusta, jossa kuivattaa sukellus varusteita. eillä oli kuivapuvut, ja niiden mansetit ei välttämättä kestä auringonvaloa.
