Solana stay

The Solana is a good hotel, in a great location.Staff were amazing, very helpful , they went the extra mile! On the downside, their AC only works at to a certain temperature depending on the time of year, not great as our room was warm. We also had to swap rooms after two days due to the noise from a large flume vent outside our bedroom window, the hotel were more than happy to accommodate with a new room.

A well maintained property with clean and comfortable room. Shoulder season and rooftop pools not heated. Breakfast is above average although limited gluten free choices I overpaid booking ahead. In spring one could get same room for almost half listed price last minute Plenty of restaurants in area. Great bus service to airport, Gozo and Valetta by boat piers a 15 minute bus ride away

Lovely Hotel with great facilities and really really friendly and helpful staff. Great happy hour for cocktails, room cleaned daily. The only downside was perhaps the wet room style shower as the water goes everywhere.

Disappointing

On the hotel website it specifically states for a superior room that there is adjustable air conditioning and in the details it states there is individually controlled air conditioning. This is not the case and we were told by staff and maintenance that the hotel is on winter setting which meant the room would not go below 24 degrees. It is recommended that a room temperature is between 15.6-20 degrees Celsius for the most comfortable sleep, 24 was too hot. A portable fan and an AC unit was provided however both were too noisy and the AC unit blew out hot air at the back and needed the balcony door open to function. For security and noise we were not able to sleep with the balcony door open through the night. Really not good enough considering the wording on the room description on hotels.com and the hotel website.

Clean, modern and spacious rooms and great service

The hotel is very nice, spacious rooms and great condition. The service was also gr at and reception was very helpful with any queries. The indoor swimming pool is a great feature and the family enjoyed it fully. Little things such as having shampoo in the room could be improved and the construction works are not great if you wanna rest but apart from that all was great, would love to stay again

The room that they first put me in was extremely loud due to the air conditioner outside. I also paid for an upgrade. The upgrade is only a balcony with no view what so ever. They moved us to a different room that was quiter which was good. But that room the toilet had a leak, which they came to fix it but left things on the floor when done. The hotel and outside hall smelled of sewage. The room also smelled of damp. It’s apart that the hotel was having sewage problems even after they fix our fan. You could smell sewage outside the room at times The breakfast was okay and did get old after a while. The coffee cups they give you are too small which forces people to have to line up and wait for more coffee. Dinner was worth the price and tasted good which lots of options. They did have issues keeping up with the drinks machine. I would not stay there again due my experience and this hotel is not close to the beach at all. You have to walk 20 minutes to the beach.
