It was not helpful that upon arrival at 10:30am I was told I could not book in until 2:00 pm. ( Co-op travel must take some blame for that.) My room on the recently refurbished top floor was fine, clean and spacious. But oh dear no water pressure to the sink tap. It would have taken 15 mins to get... More

My husband and I live in Malta and booked a weekend break for our joint birthday. The receptionist Domonic was friendly and helpful, and was quick to come to our rescue when we had tv trouble. We phoned down and within five minutes he was at our door. Our room was spacious and clean, the ac was refreshingly quiet and... More

Bed was made for me every day. Sheets changed and room cleaned. Location was excellent. Breakfast was good. Enough selection. Staff friendly and... More

Having travelled far and wide this has to be on of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Staff were friendly but hotel smelt awful as if there was an open sewer. Decoration was dull and shabby. Should be either knocked down or totally refurbished. We checked in....and checked out 60 minutes later. Avoid like the plague.

My partner and i stayed at the primera for four nights in december '12 and we found it clean,if basic and well located. Breakfast was basic but adequate as were the local restaurants that we used in the evening.The rooftop pool was filthy and obviously not in use. We didn't have any problems with lifts or staff. Our room was... More

If one is looking for a room to simply sleep during the night and have a shower then Primera is a good option. The location is excellent and the rooms are comfortable. Good value for money and the staff are helpful too.

We've just back from Malta Primera hotel. To make it simple, it's rather typical 3-star hotel. If you expect more that that, you'd better look for something else. Here're some pros & cons: +++ 1. Very friendly staff. Especially the guy on the reception - Dominic. Highly recommended! 2. Rather clean. No major drawbacks 3. Well-located on the seafront 4.... More

This hotel is awful, don't go there. This is a 3* hotel, but shouldn't even be rated. If this was my first trip to Malta, I wouldn't go back. There are plenty of other 3* hotels that are a hundred times better. The restaurant staff were not friendly and only spoke if they had to. The food was disgusting and... More
