Rubbish
My new wife and I went to the qawra place for our honeymoon,as my father had been there before and said it was nice and also he had paid for us as a wedding present.
When we had arrived at the airport, we were picked up by a beat up transit van driven to the hotel as if in a race. The bags were then dumped by the door. My wife was expected to carry her own bag even though she had her foot in plaster ( she had broken her foot before the wedding )
The keys to our room just slapped in my hand, not even told were our room was. When we did find our room, the air control was hanging off the wall and wires comming from the light switch. When we told the reception, all we got was a shrug. The cleaners only came twice in our stay. My father had pay'd nearly £1.100
for us to have a nice honeymoon on a 10 day stay and all we got was rubbish. It ended up with us moving to a proper hotel for the last few days. I love Malta as a place ( was born there )the only thing I can say we liked at the Qa...Read more

Fabulous....x
The Qawra palace is a great hotel with lots of thing to to in and out of the hotel.
There are 3 pools didnt see the indoor one because we were all very hot:D but the outside one is fairly big.
The staff are friendly, good choice of food and its clean and tidy. The rooms were quite big, but the balcony and bathroom were small not tiny but small. They had 2 shops,car rental,hairdressers,craft village,water park, beaqch, buggiba, sliemna and many more places near by to go to they even had the bus station near by 2:)
I rate this hotel 9.5 *

Don't go there - Be warned.
This has to be by far the worst hotel I have ever had the misfortune to stay in.
It is NOT a 4* hotel by any standards. The food was awful, the hotel was dirty, some of the staff were rude, unhelpful and quite frankly rude on occasion.
If they could charge you for anything they would. Even when you're All inclusive they expected you to pay for things that a 4* All Inc should provide.
If you want to eat cabbage and sprouts and the same boring uninspired menus then do but don't expect any waitress service for drinks. You have to queue up to order the drinks. Then queue up to collect them from the bar and walk with your drinks back to a table in the dining room. It's truly awful.
The outdoor swimming pool is salt water and is far too small for a hotel of this size. The indoor pool has a limit of 13 people at anyone time. This is supposed to cater for a hotel which accommodates upto 700 people.
The hotel manager refused to put on the aircon and told us it wasn't hot enough. The lift...Read more

Don't go
We just stayed for a week, awful place. The sea view rooms are held back to make you pay a lot more. We had to pay for a tv channel changer which was refunded on leaving. The beds were poor and the staff mainly surly.

Qawra Palace
A four star hotel, hellbent on moving downmarket.
My wife and I arrived two in the morning determined to creep to our room like considerate guests. We needn't have worried: the bar was still in full swing with a couple of hundred guests yodelling and clip-clopping their way back to their rooms until at least three.
The building itself is a soulless neo-brutalist concrete construction on the charmless seafront of Qawra. It is laid out as a hollow square, the interior courtyard of which has been thoughtfully provided by the owners with a crazy golf course made of the most sonorous fibreglass panels available and thus doubling up as the world's biggest bass drumkit for every kid in the hotel. Having discovered that a putter could serve as a giant drumstick and that a judiciously-applied hoof was also a good noisemaker, some of the little darlings could boom away for hours - especially once they found out how well the sound reverberated off the walls. And their parents loved it ...Read more
