Planning to go to Malta? Want to book a hotel? Don’t know what price to expect?
When it comes to choosing a hotel in Malta, several criteria will be important to make the right choice:
Find your hotel in Malta – What to look out for:
The aim of your visit
Are you in Malta simply to relax and enjoy the sun? Or rather to visit the island and do as many activities as possible in a short space of time?
If you intend to relax, we advise you to avoid the east of the island and look for resorts outside of the most frequented areas of Malta. Choose places like Mdina, Attard, Mellieha or even Gozo. This way you will avoid those areas with the greatest concentration of tourists.
If your objective is to explore the islands, we recommend you book a hotel in the east of the island. Why? You will have easy access to all forms of transportation on the island and you will reduce travel times. In addition, being closer to Valletta makes it easier for you to travel to Gozo, since your “hotel – ferry” trip will be much faster.
Price
How much can you expect to pay for a hotel room? The price of a hotel room varies greatly depending on the season, which hotel, and the room itself. We will look at this in more detail later.
If you have the soul of an adventurer, or if the place where you sleep does not really matter to you, we have plenty of information on hostels which could be a better option for you.
Your requirements
Are you with your family or travelling alone? What are your needs?
Do you want a family suite? A single room?
Comfort
Do you want a hotel room with a sea view? A palace in the middle of the island? A single bed to sleep in? Meals included?
Once you have answered all these questions, you will be better equipped to make your choice.
