I have no idea how this hotel got four stars. Rather, I'd give it four rotten tomatoes. First, whilst we have been really lucky with our room, our mother who had booked (and paid extra for) a room with balcony and sea-view ended up in something like a darkroom (room no. 523, see photo). The so-called balcony was just small... More

After reading a few reviews of the hotel with the timeshare and the old part of the hotel we emailed the hotel reception to kindly request a high floor & refurbished room & on the day of the arrival they had met that request. We had three rooms on the top floor with a seaview room. The rooms were very... More

We have been to Malta many times over 20 years with timeshare apartments and we rate the Dolmen Resort very highly. Checking in was easy and efficient and our apartment was available well before advertised times. The apartment was spotless and maintained that way all week. The living area was a bit dated but everything worked and we had a... More

Many of the services are good - staff are great/helpful, the food quality is excellent. However the rooms are poor - you may need to consider upgrade, otherwise you may find the balcony and bathroom a tight squeeze

This establishment is in a touristy area on the coast but we were quite pleased. It is very near shops, grocers etc. The hotel is quite nice. We stayed in the apartment area, often used for timeshares. It is somewhat dated but still quite nice and clean. Many apartments overlook the Mediterranean Sea. The reception staff, while not rude, certainly... More

This was our first trip to Malta in many years. We booked this hotel as our travel agent said it had excellent disabled facilities and I need to use a wheelchair much of the time. Our room was very close to reception on the ground floor which meant we heard lots of noise in the early morning from departing guests.... More

Perhaps it was all the French teenagers making excessive noise in the middle of the night and early morning, combined with paper thin walls that made this a little disappointing. Our room was TINY, but did have a sea view. It was adequate. The staff were nice, polite, and well informed. The buffet breakfast was good although weiners are not... More
