The experience in Xemxija Bay Hotel was in general grateful, I would say that the breakfast is quite repetitive, but in general, the hotel is OK if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Dining was convenient and quantuty was good. Will say food was a little bland. My only real complaint was the hill that gad to be negotiated wgen heading for the bus and the distance to the beach. Pool was nice. A hot tub would be a giod addition. When construction is done it will be even better.

No air con, hard beds, no water in the room, windowless room for breakfast which was crowded in a small space, no clean table or even anyone to greet you. Lots of renovations going on, untidy and very basic accommodation. Friendly staff and nice pool area, albeit very small

Special thanks to Jacob for putting sun lotion on my back (solo traveler) and just a genuine polite young man an absolute asset to your hotel and to Stephan on reception for your kindness on my last evening and as I had booked early I had complimentary breakfast I’ve had a great stay!

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!

The location is great with the bus stops, view, convenient store, and quick food options like eeetwell! The staff was kind & hotel was also fine. The room I had was okay, no view, but everything functioned. I didn't check out the pool or their meal options, but basic English breakfast was offered for €10. They also allowed baggage storage. It was good for my 1 night stay.

We are regular guests at this hotel (previously known as Porto Azzurro aparthotel), however, on our most recent stay in July 2025, since the "refurbishment" in March, we can confirm that the place has deteriorated. It was never anything fancy, but it used to be a nice, quiet, relaxing place to stay. Not anymore! The only real improvement is the reception desk but that's the least important aspect of a stay. We were allocated room 410 with 'sea view'. It was well equipped with oven, microwave, fridge, balcony. The room itself is nothing special. The air conditioning is old and omits a foul smell, god knows what bacteria is lurking inside the unit. Regarding room cleaning, I'm not sure it was cleaned during the 8 nights we were there. The towels were changed daily, however, they are very small. The biggest disappointment is the pool area. From morning until night there is loud AI music blasting from the speakers around the pool. I don't know what kind of vibe they're trying to create but it's certainly not a good one. Also the sun loungers are uncomfortable and all cramped together under big umbrellas which means the whole area is shaded. That defeats the object of being on holiday in Malta when one comes for the sun. Our biggest gripe was when the pool / bar attendant asked everybody to move from the sunny side of the pool deck to the shady side when it got to 6pm so that they could set up tables and chairs for the evening diners. We are reluctant to return for these reasons

+ (Vorteile) Großer Pool mit vielen Liegemöglichkeiten, kleines Restaurant am Pool mit kleinen Snacks und kühlen Getränken. Großes Zimmer mit Balkon. Bushaltestelle in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Hotel, sehr gute Anbindung. - (Nachteile) Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und hat Renovierungsstau. Die Türen knirschen, der Abfluss stinkt und das Reinigungsteam lässt ebenfalls zu wünschen übrig. Zimmer wurde zwar jeden Tag gereinigt, allerdings nur oberflächlich, sodass wir Würmer in der Dusche entdeckten. Auch die Bettwäsche war von Beginn an dreckig und wurde bei der „Reinigung“ einfach nur umgedreht. Wer englisches Frühstück mag, kann sich mit Bohnen, Speck und Eiern zufrieden geben. Ansonsten sollte man lieber auswärts frühstücken. Der Frühstücksraum besitzt keine Fenster sodass man sich eher wie in einer Abstellkammer fühlt. Der Pool schließt leider schon um 19:00 Uhr, sodass man nach einem Ausflug/Tagestrip leider nicht die Möglichkeit hat sich noch im Pool abzukühlen. Fazit: Hotel für einen Low-Budget Urlaub mit Pool und guter Anbindung jedoch stimmt hier das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis leider nicht
