The Hilton Malta is a strange one. The room was nice however the closed in balcony was very hot. You apparently have to request an open balcony on your reservation.
The hotel itself is an oasis next to a very busy built up area. The few restaurants within walking distance are all very nice, however if you venture down into the harbour, expect the usual tourist trap of bad service and inflated prices.
As for the hotel itself, it certainly has it's own quirks. The main pool is fine and there's no need for the crazy 7am dash for a sunbed, as the staff will always find you a sunbed and a parasol in the unlikely event of there not being one available. However the adult pools the sunbeds have cushions whilst the ones as the main pool don't - a quirk! We stayed in an Executive room on the 9h floor. It took 5 attempts and the intervention of customer services in the UK to fix the light on the balcony - not impressed!
Breakfast in the Executive Lounge was disappointing. I told the Duty Manager on check out that they should consider putting an eggs chef into the Exec Lounge. The answer was that they had tried it, however with a bit of though, they could replace the underused second coffee machine with an eggs station. As a result I had breakfast most mornings in the busier main restaurant. Would I stay there again - I'm not sure to be honest. I would rate it as a 4.5 star as opposed to a 5 star. Good but could do better. Finally, 12 noon check out is too early for a late flight home.
