In general, the area is lively and full of shopping centers, restaurants, and nightclubs. However, it is extremely noisy at night, and you can’t sleep before 4 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend this area for people looking for a quiet place to stay.

As a single male traveller it is frustrating that as this hotel is surrounded by gentlemens clubs you get apporached by several workers each time you pass. The sheets were not changed at all over a 7 day stay. This i would habe expected to be done at least once if not twice. Other than that the hotel was comfortable

Nice Boutique in the thick of everything at night
Really pleasant hotel and great staff. A little quirky. It's in the busy nightlife area but a bit of an oasis nonetheless. Cabs can't get to the front door and will drop around the corner. Can be a bit noisy outside.

This hotel is ideal if you are wanting to be close to the nightlife. Our last night we had to come back to hotel around 3am as flying the next day, hotel is right on the strip, we were on second floor and our window looking onto the bars yet we never heard much noise and managed to get to sleep fine. The rooftop pool is small and not lots of beds but we always managed to get some with a group of 8. The bar man was great, the cocktails and bar snacks were tasty! We managed to keep one of our rooms on for aater check out, the staff were really helpful with this. I would definitely recommend if you want to be close to the nightlife.

If you are looking for nice cafes and bars Valetta or even Sliema would be a better bet. St Julian has lots of clubs and strip joints. If that's what you want then So Hotel is very well placed. We booked a deluxe room with hot tub on the balcony. If there had been photographs we would not have bothered. The aspect is definitely not deluxe, the hot tub definition not hot. There was also a dead bird in it. The staff were friendly and breakfast was good. However, for the first time ever, we checked out after one night and booked elsewhere.

Ein sehr gutes Hotel
Wir waren sehr zufrieden Es war sauber und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr kompetent besonders Herr Ramirez der Abends an der Rezeption war. Das hotel liegt mitten in der Partymeile Man hört aber nicht viel vom Lärm da die zimmer echt gut isoliert sind. Falls jemand sich sich gestört fühlt, gibt es im zimmer zusätzliche Ohrstöpsel Frühstück war überschaubar aber dennoch ausreichend. Die sauberkeit war eine 9 von 10. Also echt zufriedenstellend. Die lage ist optimal. Man hat einige Supermärkte die 3-4 Gehminuten entfernt sind und 24 std auf haben. Der Dachpool ist top und die Aussicht ist schön (Es sollte nur bessere musik laufen)
