Nice place to stay.

As a solo traveler from the UK to Malta from 19Feb to 24Feb, Urban Valley is recommended. The reception staff are very friendly and gave advice on how to move around the city. My favorite feature was I the free shuttle bus to and from Sliema, Valletta and a bay (at selected times) which guest would need to book ahead of time with the reception due to limited capacity on the bus (8). There is a tennis court, a play centre for kids and a car park. My booking included a buffet breakfast from 7am to 10.30 am. Guest can indicate special dietary requirements. There are 2 clean swimming pools (unmanned/no lifeguard) and a fitness centre with a spa. Guest must pay €0.50 for each day in the hotel subject to a maximum of €5. The room was clean with complimentary bottle of water but a bit stuffy/musty due to humid weather. May I suggest that House keeping kindly air the room by opening balcony doors prior to guest arrival. Also, reception should inform guest that welcome letter and general information are accessed by scanning the QR codes on the key card pack and not assume a tired, traveling guest would already know. This would save them unnecessary phone calls to reception by guest needing assistance.

As always, this review is subjective and depends on what you are looking for. As a family of 5 with teens and young children this turned out to meet all our needs. We had a two bedroom family suite which was very spacious and had a fridge freezer, hob, oven and dishwasher. We were 10-15 min walk from the local shops which included Lidl. The hotel provided a free shuttle to Sliema or Valletta which was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

The Property is very nice, Staff are very polite but the food in the restaurant is terrible, the breakfast selection is not up to standard for a 4 star hotel. Diner option as well is not great, the fish option should be removed as it is tasteless and not cooked properly, if the food can be sorted out then it would be great. The half board option doesn’t include any soft drinks not even water which is a bit strange. Otherwise the hotel is good. I had to intentionally miss the breakfast after 2 days and started eating out for dinner once my vouchers expired.

The reception staff and maintenance staff were all friendly and rectified the issues I had very quickly. So thank you for that. There's a noise problem in this hotel due to sound proofing issues. There are scheduled complimentary shuttle buses from the hotel to Valletta daily which was convenient, as from the Valletta bus terminal, I could easily travel to other parts of Malta and the public transport is cheap. A big shout out to the shuttle bus driver who came on time daily and he was very considerate. A great asset to the hotel. Even though the hotel is not located in Valletta, because of the shuttle bus, it didn't feel inconvenient. And the bus stop to the airport is only about 10 minutes walk.

And the breakfast was delicious!! All the main city centres were merely about 20-30 min drives away or less. Would definitely recommend when staying in Malta.
