Overall comfortable. However the facilities in the shower did not seem correct. The shower head looked like it was broken and I could not adjust the aim of the water, it was just like a hose on the wall.
The air con wasn’t working, only blowing hot air even after trying to reset to cold and turn the temperature down.
WiFi was not good, the connection only worked at reception or on the balcony and the speed wasn’t good.
The fact there was not water fountain on each floor to avoid having to go to a different level to get water was unnecessary.
But considering the little time spent using the facilities it was comfortable for a short stay.

Fabulous room
Hotel was really good. Weather was not. We enjoyed our trip and we got upgraded to a junior suite. There was a permanent noise though like a plant room as below the roof top pool but we got used to it.

I really liked our stay in Qawra Palace Resort. We stayed there for 3 nights. The room was huge. Breakfast options were great. We didn't have a chance to use their outdoor/indoor pool or the gym as we were outside all day long and the facilities close earlier around 7pm. The location is also good, good bus service to Valetta and other places.

its ok, not great, not bad.
I had high hopes for this hotel. It was nice, but was definitely didn't hit my expectations. There were areas that were beautiful & well kept, but there were areas that were broken down. I'll just make a list of pro's & cons.
PRO'S:
The beds were perfectly comfortable
Rooms were clean
Food at the buffet's were good
The rooftop pool was beautiful
All inclusive drinks were good.
CONS:
The toilet in our room was broken the whole time & never got fixed.
The shower was very small.
The beachside pool was a bit broken down & parts were closed off & the pools were freezing cold.
There were different restaurants besides the main buffet for the all inclusive, but only one that was not a buffet. It would be nice to have more à la carte options.
The staff were a little put off by having to handle customers. Not really rude, but just annoyed.

Hotel was nice we got upgraded was a little bit of noise Saturday and Sunday but quiet rest. The internment was ok dancers and singers were good. I liked the restaurants lume and vangebond were very good and the bar staff were friendly but was very busy with huge hotel but everything was spot on. Lots of English Germans and Polish was a bit of noise on a few nights. I would get a sea view or upgrade as rooms much better. Had a good holiday with friends was not prefect but was decent. Liam Gallagher was playing so lot of oasis fans they were very funny but overall a well run hotel. But busy not quiet and lively.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Qawra Palace! The hotel offers stunning views of the bay, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
The pool area was beautiful, and I loved relaxing by the water while enjoying the gorgeous Maltese sun. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, and the food was fresh and delicious.
The location is perfect – right by the water and close to many restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend Qawra Palace for anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay in Malta!

Hotel rooftop is lovely however pool
Downstairs not very nice. Food was good however we both suffered food poisoning - staff wanted a medical certificate to proove but we too ill to attend and was only a 3 day trip. We were not offered a later check out nor offered any food day of check out so had to visit elsewhere as had late flight. Overall it was pleasant trip but tainted by illness for us both.
