The property is of medium quality, with issues with both waterpressure and aircon temperature (this was not the same in different rooms). There is no fridge in the room, but this can be rented from the hotel for €3.50 pr night, wich i thought was quite excessive, specially thinking the level/quality of the hotel and how this usually is included in rooms. The hotel rooms are not very well insulated and you can hear people talking in the next room or in the hallway, almost lile they are in the room with you. it is also a very small hotel with just over 40 rooms, and the breakfast selection is very limited. The hotel is quite a distance from the city og St.Pauls Bay, even though it is easy to take the local busses, there is both unregularities in time according to schedule and limited busses that actually go in to town. The traffic can also be horrendous at certain times. There are some local restaurants in the area, but not a huge selection. HOWEVER!! All this considering, every single one of the hotel staff was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome, was happy and comfortable, and showed a genuine interest. There was never a no from anyone, they just fixed issues quickly and efficiently. The cleaning staff did a super job every single day, gave fresh towels every day, and i often came back to find beautiful towel-figurines on the beds.

I highly recommend staying at Ambassador Hotel when in St. Paul's Bay, Malta. Have in mind that this is a 3-star hotel, but it's absolutely worth it as it's the best a 3-star can get. The cleanliness of the room was a big plus. Internet is free and decent. There is a bus stop near the hotel called "Xemxija", which easily takes you to either Popeye Village, or to the senter of St. Paul's Bay and more. The hotel offers guests free and unlimited water bottle refills by the water dispenser in the reception, and the water is ice cold. Also the staff are super helpful and polite. My experience was very positive!

We stayed here for a last minute holiday to Malta and the staff here are really nice and helpful. Tourist information was provided on arrival and some local knowledge was thrown in too. AC in the room; shampoo, shower gel and hair dryer were provided, beautiful pool (open to the public) and restaurant downstairs with a good, consistent breakfast, good happy hour deals and amazing (!) pizza. Well located to get to St Paul's Bay, Valetta, Mdina and Gozo by bus. Let us leave our luggage and use the pool after checkout at 11am. Thoroughly impressed, have recommended The Ambassador to family and friends.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden, dass die Einrichtung alt ist, wussten wir vorher, das Frühstück war super für ein 3 Sterne Hotel. Baden im Meer ist in der Bucht gegenüber möglich. Die Straße stört nicht, es war sehr ruhig. Nur die Parkplatzsituation ist am Wochenende nervig.
