Golden Tulip Vivaldi Hotel

Located in the heart of St. Julian but in safe distance to loud party places in Paceville. St. Georges Bay is 10 min a rocky beach 3 min walking distance. Main bus lines (e.g. 222, 223, 225) to key destinations (e.g. Bugibba, Cirkewwa, Golden Bay) are right around the corner, a great number of different restaurants, bars as well as grocery stores can be found only some meters away from the hotel. Amazing breakfast from both, quality and quantity perspective. Warm cuisine English style as well as standard sweets, cookies, and cakes. The large, clean dining hall allowed a magnificent view of the seashore and sunrise. The staff members were extremely dedicated, friendly and helpful. Definitely worth choosing "breakfast included" option when booking. The hotel even offers a breakfast bag in case you have to leave for the airport and time won't allow you to have breakfast.

the rooms facing the inner yard of the hotel are placed right above the ventilation system of various restaurants located near the hotel complex. Depending on downwind you either close the balcony door between 5PM and 2AM and switch on the AC or live with a light but steady breeze of french fries, pizza in your room. The double bed consisted of 2 thick mattresses with one thin mattress on top which made it rather uncomfortable to sleep on it. The hotel does not offer shuttle services to the airport and depending on the time of your departure (e.g. Monday morning) it's strongly recommended to take a taxi (~ 20 EUR) or leave very early as the bus (per schedule between 30 min and 1 hour) may get stuck in morning traffic.
