Great place to stay! Food options are halal, themed buffet nights and a restaurant on site. Very clean and the spa is lovely with lots of treatments to choose from. Had one of the best facials there! Rooms were a little small considering we booked studio rooms. Rooms came with a spacious bathroom and a built in kitchen. Would have like more in room services such as water bottles and an iron.

I recently stayed at this hotel, drawn by its high ratings and promising amenities. Well located on a very quiet main road. Walking distance places to visit or with Bolt taxis. While there were aspects I appreciated, some experiences fell short of expectations. Positives: The hotel boasts a refreshed and welcoming ambiance, with modern decor that creates a pleasant atmosphere. Nice spa. The staff at the front desk were courteous and helpful during check-in, the stay, questions and making the arrival process smooth.​ Great shower! Areas for Improvement: Despite booking a premium room, the view was underwhelming (inexistant!), overlooking a dark corner area where a workman was drilling next to the balcony. This resulted in dust accumulation, which remained uncleaned the following day.​ The room felt cold (thin duvet), and adjusting the temperature controls didn't seem to make a difference, affecting overall comfort.​ Breakfast was average; the food lacked flavor, either under or overcooked or oily. Additionally, a few morning staff members seemed disengaged, impacting the dining experience.​ An unpleasant odor in the reception area, seemingly emanating from the pool and spa below, was noticeable and detracted from the otherwise inviting lobby.​ I experienced an issue with the elevator, getting stuck and requiring assistance, which was inconvenient and concerning.​ The area is nice for 2-3 days then you need to go further away to enjoy the island more. 3 out of 5 stars

Solana stay

The Solana is a good hotel, in a great location.Staff were amazing, very helpful , they went the extra mile! On the downside, their AC only works at to a certain temperature depending on the time of year, not great as our room was warm. We also had to swap rooms after two days due to the noise from a large flume vent outside our bedroom window, the hotel were more than happy to accommodate with a new room.

A well maintained property with clean and comfortable room. Shoulder season and rooftop pools not heated. Breakfast is above average although limited gluten free choices I overpaid booking ahead. In spring one could get same room for almost half listed price last minute Plenty of restaurants in area. Great bus service to airport, Gozo and Valetta by boat piers a 15 minute bus ride away

Lovely Hotel with great facilities and really really friendly and helpful staff. Great happy hour for cocktails, room cleaned daily. The only downside was perhaps the wet room style shower as the water goes everywhere.

Disappointing

On the hotel website it specifically states for a superior room that there is adjustable air conditioning and in the details it states there is individually controlled air conditioning. This is not the case and we were told by staff and maintenance that the hotel is on winter setting which meant the room would not go below 24 degrees. It is recommended that a room temperature is between 15.6-20 degrees Celsius for the most comfortable sleep, 24 was too hot. A portable fan and an AC unit was provided however both were too noisy and the AC unit blew out hot air at the back and needed the balcony door open to function. For security and noise we were not able to sleep with the balcony door open through the night. Really not good enough considering the wording on the room description on hotels.com and the hotel website.

Clean, modern and spacious rooms and great service

The hotel is very nice, spacious rooms and great condition. The service was also gr at and reception was very helpful with any queries. The indoor swimming pool is a great feature and the family enjoyed it fully. Little things such as having shampoo in the room could be improved and the construction works are not great if you wanna rest but apart from that all was great, would love to stay again

The room that they first put me in was extremely loud due to the air conditioner outside. I also paid for an upgrade. The upgrade is only a balcony with no view what so ever. They moved us to a different room that was quiter which was good. But that room the toilet had a leak, which they came to fix it but left things on the floor when done. The hotel and outside hall smelled of sewage. The room also smelled of damp. It’s apart that the hotel was having sewage problems even after they fix our fan. You could smell sewage outside the room at times The breakfast was okay and did get old after a while. The coffee cups they give you are too small which forces people to have to line up and wait for more coffee. Dinner was worth the price and tasted good which lots of options. They did have issues keeping up with the drinks machine. I would not stay there again due my experience and this hotel is not close to the beach at all. You have to walk 20 minutes to the beach.
