My wife and I went to the Maldives earlier in the year and one of the nicest touches was the ice cold towels and cold drinks that greeted us on arrival. I wasn't expecting that on arrival at the Malta Hilton but when we arrived we were greeted with ice cold towels and cold drinks. From that moment we knew we were in for a great stay and we were not disappointed. To be honest from the moment we booked direct with the hotel you knew you were dealing with a hotel that prides itself with excellent customer service, and when they collected us from the ferry port (we had been staying on Gozo) nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were fantastic with great sea views. When we booked we wanted 1twin room for our daughters and 1 king for us. We also wanted the rooms fairly close to each other. I don't know why I was doubting the hotel to deliver, but they did. The food was brillant. At breakfast you had so much choice and do you know the difference between orange juice and fresh orange juice? Well at the Hilton they serve fresh orange juice. Lunch was taken at the beach club, and if you eat nothing else try the ribs. I am coming to believe that the Maltese deliver some of the best ribs in the world .Don't know what they do, but boy are they tasty. In the evening we had one meal in the oceania and one meal in the blue elephant restaurant. The blue elephant is out of this world. Go over your budget and eat there. You will not have a better experience in a restaurant. The other evenings we walked into St julians and had two great meals by the waterfront. We also had a meal at the Westin. The hotel is five star and price wise is on the top end, but it is worth the expense. Finally going back to those ice cold towels. Not only do you get them when you arrive, but during the day while you are sunning yourself on the loungers they will come round two or three times to hand them out, and believe me an ice cold towel on a really hot day cannot be beaten. Great stay, we will be back.

We've just returned from getting married at the Hilton Malta and we couldn't have had a nicer wedding, everything about this hotel is fantastic and everything was so well organised.
The hotel is fabulous, the staff were fantastic and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The location is lovely, we had a room overlooking the marina with a really beautiful view and it was lovely and quiet at night. We had our wedding reception in the Gazebo resteraunt and the food was absolutely fabulous in a beautiful setting and considering the level of service and the quality of the meal it was very reasonably priced. The breakfasts were also fantastic with a a really varied choice. I would recommend anyone to stay at this hotel - but not if you're on a tight budget, we paid roughly £16 for two large orange juices at the beach bar and although they were very nice the price is excessive.

My husband and I sadly returned from Malta yesterday, we’ve stayed the Hilton for a week and greatly enjoyed the hotel and our overall stay there.
Since I’ve did much research one week prior to our departure and read several reviews as well as suggestions as to where to go, what to eat etc on the Malta forum, I thought I should share my two cents as well.
The Hilton, wonderful Hotel!!! The staff is friendly, polite, extremely helpful and pleasant. I didn’t witness any “waiter smiles”, everyone seemed very sincere and eager to please. The hotel is over all very clean, spacious and well organized. We’ve had a pool view room, in all actuality it’s a sea view room but it was on the same level as the pool, still very nice.

The Hilton is very pricey, which I expected. Especially if you have to exchange us dollars to lira or even euro to lira, even thou we were half board we still spent quite the amount on water, by the pool drinks, etc. but it was worth it!!!
We enjoyed the pools daily, there where some children but that didn’t bother us at all in fact it made it a little more entertaining. Around noon we would leave the hotel complex and explore a bit, have lunch and shop or just walk along the promenade.
We also enjoyed the spa very much; we had massages, facials, pedicures and manicures. Wonderful staff as well!

Now the only “complaints” I have about the hotel is that our room was extremely humid even with the air conditioner going, therefore our bedding was always “wet”. This was quite uncomfortable when we would go to bed; there were also a couple of areas in the bathroom that weren’t cleaned every day. We would receive fresh towels daily and everything was straightened up but hardly cleaned.

As for dinning, all restaurants where mentioned in previous previews and they all are great. I have to point out the Blue elephant thou; we have heard so many great things about that restaurant. In previews, the staff of the hotel, as well as people living on the island highly recommended that restaurant. The restaurant even received an x amount of rewards and raving paper reviews. I honestly have no Idea WHY!!??

My husband and I had reservations for the blue elephant on Thursday at 21h. We were greeted by a very friendly man who seated us at a table outside on the deck as per our request overlooking the marina. The inside of the restaurant looked wonderful, and everyone seemed friendly as well. But once we were seated it took 25 minutes to receive our pre dinner drinks and starters. Once they were served it took another 40 minutes to receive the main course. No one came in between to check on us or take another order, thou our glassed were long empty. The food was very good but I don’t believe justified the prices. I certainly don’t believe the restaurant deserved the awards that it has received unless we are the exception that received terrible service at the blue elephant. I didn’t use the restrooms, thou they were rated “the cleanest restaurant restrooms on the island” so I wouldn’t be able to rate those.

However I highly recommend the Gazebo, we dined there on Friday and we were more than pleased with the service, quality of meals as well as the romantic atmosphere! Wonderful restaurant!!!

I would also recommend the Hilton Malta to anyone, 5 stars indeed.

I stayed at the Hilton, Malta for two weeks in June with my Husband, son of 5 and daughted of 20 months. It was simply fantastic and cannot find anything to complain about.
We found all the staff to be extremely friendly and excellent with the children. The restaurant staff would offer the kids kinder bars or jellies after breakfast each morning. The buffet breakfast was superb and certainly would leave you feeling full right up until evening time. Pool staff were also very helpful - putting up umbrellas, moving sunbeds for us and even doing first aid, my son had a few falls by the pool as kids do!! and Martin was really great in fixing him up! I have to recommend the Blue Elephant Restaurant, we ate here twice it was so good, deffinately the best Thai food I've ever had and again staff there were great with Children. In short I'd highly recommend this hotel and most deffinately iif you're holidaying with young children as it's in close proximity to shops and restaurants nearby and very child friendly in the hotel itself.
