The District Hotel

Location is good! The hotel policy is too strict!

We had an amazing time, literally just after arriving ar our Hotel. The District Hotel was very modern, spacious and nicely decorated! The staff were very attentive. I really lovely mini break. The only let down, was the construction work going on adjacent to the Hotel. I think a little word to customers would be most helpful.

Modern-looking hotel, close to the centre of St Julians, although the grey coloured theme running throughout the rooms reminded me more of a business traveller hotel. Nice sized room with lots of storage space, large shower with two different shower heads, decent enough toilet and washroom. Small balcony overlooking the main road into Paceville. Although travelling single, I had four beds in my room (one for each night :-). Complimentary coffee and kettle was a nice touch, as was the fridge for storing beer.

The hotel is near to dining areas and other facilities. However there is a lot of noise from the surrounding buildings. Access to the building is a bit dangerous especially when it rains and slippery.

Either it’s a new hotel with cheap Labour or it’s an older hotel and it’s showing its age (not quite saw). There was wallpaper coming off the walls, tape around some of the light switches, as though they hadn’t taken off the original packaging. Coffee or tea stain on the bed. We spoke to one of the cleaners and they said they’d change it, but they didn’t. Wasn’t just in the room either. You could see scratch marks on walls, cracks on the stairs as you walk into the hotel. Was also building works in buildings near by (which obviously not the hotels fault). So a little noisy at times. The hotel reception also charged us €10 for arriving 90minutes before check in time. However our room had already been cleaned, so it wasn’t like they had to rush around. It would have just been sat there not doing anything. Also no real information on local information, special no maps of the local area to help tourists. They had a few on Popeye tour and local bus tour (but that was it). There was a code keypad that you had to put into the enter the hotel. But it had the code printed above it. What’s the point of having it if anyone can just type the code in. Also about 3 times we had to go back to reception to get our room cards reactivated as they stopped working.

Hotel itself is nice room I was staying in was spacious and clean. The problem was building sites surrounding hotel. They starting work early and makes that construction site noise. And another inconvenience was parking hotel doesn’t have parking so it’s on street parking but if there’s no close space to the hotel do you have drive around the streets to look for space. But in general I enjoyed staying in a hotel
