A nice well maintained hotel. We had hired a car so the free car park opposite was a bonus. Near to many restaurants, breakfast at the hotel was good. Roof top bathing area with a pool was super, if cold, just what you needed in the heat. Room was nice and clean but bed a bit hard.

It's a nice hotel. The zone would be beautiful, but for me they ruined the landscape by building too much.

Lack of air conditioning surprising
Great location for the bus station and reastaurants nearby. The hotel is clean, staff friendly and the breakfast buffet has something for all tastes and food cultures. However, the lack of air condition meant that our room temperature was a constant 25 degrees which was way too warm for a comfortable night's sleep. With traffic noise and Saharan dust outside, sleeping with the balcony door open wasn't really an option. The hotel lent us a fan which helped somewhat but as a 4 star hotel we thought air conditioning came as standard but clearly not.

Whenever I visit Malta this is the only hotel I ever book. Over the years there have been many enhancements to the property and the Santana just keeps getting better and better. Staff are always friendly and the hotel is situated in the perfect spot to get to anywhere on the island with the bus station very close by. Last visit I got upgraded to an executive suite, so thank you Santana! :) Only one slight niggle, the linen and towels are the next thing to upgrade, they’re all a bit thin and worn. But overall, a brilliant place to stay.

I checked out of here two days early to move to another hotel. My room had quite a few mosquitos, the air conditioning wasn’t available until the end of the month and my room was too warm to sleep comfortably. But not having any outlets on either side of the bed was the clincher for me because I use a CPAP machine to sleep. The staff tried hard to make it right by providing a power strip extension cord, and offered to spray the room to rid the mosquitos, but I simply wanted to find another place and enjoy some restful sleep.

Malta connection
Arrived a little early as we were leaving from another hotel in a different part of Malta before arriving at the Santana, we were impressed with the outside appearance of the hotel until we tried to mount the stairs in the pouring rain, my husbands on crutches and although there is a ramp it was to steep and slick with the rain for him to use safely, after 5mins of struggling up the steps with 2 suitcases and helping my husband being watched by a staff member (no offer of help) I booked us in, as early was told we could put our luggage in storage and our room would be ready at 2pm, okay went into a lounge area for the football asked for keys at 2.15 not ready, seems a balcony had to be re-cleaned due to the rain!!, around 20mins later the receptionist arrived with keys, ground floor room lots of space, clean, tidy and disabled friendly, lifts to restaurant and indoor pool, buffet breakfast, plenty of and good selection, dining area better quality than others in the area, check out quick and easy and as going to a further hotel we were allowed to store luggage and watch the football, overall as this was a single nights stay we would book again for a longer period
