St Pauls Bay, San Anton Complex

Seemed to be plenty of staff around, but they need to be motivated to keep the place clean and to replenish the crockery in the restaurant.

I was very worried about staying at this hotel after reading the reviews on this site. We arrived at the airport and were put in a taxi with another couple, who had also read the reports, we all joked about sharing a room! We arrived at the hotel around 1 in the morning. The outside looked okay, we went inside, the reception staff were very friendly and it DIDN'T smell of urine!

We went up to our room, very surprised at how big it was, the room was very clean! In the morning we went to inspect the rest of the hotel, all very clean. The pool was clean, the sun beds were clean. Yeah it wasn't 5*, but not as bad as some of the reports were making out. The only complaint I would have is because of all the building work going on in Malta the floors did get a bit dirty, so I would recommend wearing flip flops in the rooms! I really enjoyed the holiday, and was not disappointed with the accommodation!!

Both these hotels need to be shut down for a complete refurbishment, help is definitely needed for the hotel restaurants. I would never stay at the San Anton hotels again and would not recommend them to anyone.

The best thing for this hotel is to be closed and refurbished. In 30 years of travelling abroad this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We had booked San Anton but a crane head swung over our balcony at 7am in the morning. We were moved to Santa Maria where we were stayed with about 100 children. It was noisy and very dirty. I just cannot understand how this hotel gets a 3 star rating. Very disappointing.

Had a really good time at the San Anton Complex, Malta. I met some really nice people! The complex is in good proximity to the town of Buguba.

Absolutely fantastic. Everywhere is clean if you stay in the self catering apartments. Very nice hotel with exceptionally friendly staff. I was worried about arriving there after reading some of the reviews but was overly surprised when I got there to see how nice it was.

I would certainly not pull this hotel down, I would praise it for its standards and service. Very trustable and well worth the money. Returning back at Christmas and staying there again most definitely.

Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

We had a great time at the Club Anton Complex in Malta. The entertainment was good, and there was also entertainment in other hotels around the complex, or even the local pubs. Some nights we were spoilt for choice as there was so much going on.

There is so much to do there that we will have to go back next year, because we didn't have time to do everything we wanted to.

The only downside for me was the food. The breakfast was great, but being someone who is very fussy about food, most of the dinners were a bit too peppery for me.

The service was great though, and the tables were cleared very quickly.

The staff at the San Anton Complex in Malta were always helpful. The food in the restaurant was plentiful and tasty. The area was marvellous for exploring. Try using the local buses. They are cheap and very regular, just hold on tight.

The rooms are tired and in need of redecoration, and they would benefit greatly from having air conditioning in them. The lifts in one of the blocks was temperamental, and I got stuck in it one night, but this is generally a good place to stay.

I've just had a great holiday at the San Anton Complex in Malta, and for the price I paid, I can not complain. San Anton has plenty to do for all ages. There is a nice safe pool for the under 5's, a play area, a kids club and a television room. The restaurant is of a high standard, offering a good variety. It was well staffed, and the tables are laid very well. You must try different things to appreciate the taste and quality of the food. The veg and chips are not great, but the main dish is usually gorgeous.

The shops are just round the corner, and the sea front is only a 5 minute walk away. Be aware, as there are a few hills and the paths are narrow, uneven, holey and blocked at times.

The rooms have fans, and you can hire more. Rooms are cleaned daily, but they are basic. You will wait to be served at the snack bar and by the drinks waiter, but not for too long.

The Hotel has a nice atmosphere and I would go back. I hope this helps.

San Anton Complex was filthy and looked like it hadn't been cleaned for weeks if not months.

The toilet in our room was filthy (tiles broken ,bath is stained with rusty water). There were blood stains in the bedroom walls and other strange stains. There were cigarette marks on the bed sheets. The ceiling fan was hanging by electric wires and very noisey when switched on.

The standrad of the hotel should be 1 star and mainly because it's a very dirty hotel .
