Primera Hotel
The Primera Hotel has the look of a perfect holiday hotel. With 95 rooms spread over 8 floors, it has a more intimate feel than some of Bugibba's larger hotels and the service is very attentive.
The beach is just a minute's walk from the Primera Hotel. The main Bugibba square is practically on your doorstep, and the shops, bars and restaurants are all close at hand. You're right at the heart of things here.
Attentive service, superb views and all the amenities of Bugibba at the Primera Hotel:
The Primera Hotel bridges the gap between the very small and very large hotels giving travellers another option – it's perfect for couples, as well as small families. In short, it is a wonderful holiday retreat.
Bugibba has so much to offer you. The distinctive pebbly beaches are perfect places to explore or to picnic on; and those large flat pebbles make a surprisingly comfortable sunbathing spot.
You can also sunbathe back at the Primera Hotel. The hotel sun terraces are nicely elevated, affording some wonderful views out over the St Paul's Island and the open sea beyond.
In between jaunts out, or spells on the terrace, you'll enjoy the calm of the hotel; its spacious communal rooms making it the ideal place to meet and greet and take it easy between outings. Do make sure you leave plenty of time for the buffet breakfasts and dinners in the hotel restaurant. Or, if you're rushing off to your next adventure, there is a handy snack bar too.
Guests at the Primera Hotel enjoy a balcony room, as standard, and, of course all are fully air conditioned to ensure a comfortable night's sleep. Rooms also benefit from satellite TV, a kettle, and direct dial phone.
With its enviable location, within easy reach of the sea and all the amenities of Bugibba, the Primera Hotel is a popular destination for holidaymakers. Behind its sunny façade is a warm welcome and a great base for your holiday.

Tripadvisor Reviews
A appalling hotel.
Please don't use this hotel it is terrible. The advertised indoor swimming pool was closed two years ago, and looks as it it will never open again. The Rooftop swimming pool is the size of a postage stamp. The mattress on the bed was lumpy, the pillows cheap. The shower had no slip mat, no handrail, and no soap holder. Breakfast was appalling and on speaking with management was informed that the breakfast is provided by outside catering. Twice in eight days I returned to my room in the afternoon to find housekeeping had not attended. I was allocated on arrival late a night, a very small room and complained and was offered for 5 Euros a night extra a room with a sea view. The only way to see the sea was to hang over the small balcony and look right down the street and see the sea at the end of the road. Some of the receptionists were helpful - especially the female ones. The males were not. Please do not bother staying here, you have plenty of other choices. I was booked in for fourteen nights and left after eight nights in disgust.
GREAT GREAT GREAT
First time at the primera very impressed. All staff friendly and helpful. Great choice for breakfast all fresh. Clean rooms all cleaned daily. Great roof top terrace with small pool. Free air con. Will definitely be going back . Thank you Wayne taylor
Great location, Great staff, Great value
Having stayed in several hotels in the area (Dolmen, Seaview, Topaz), I decided to go for the closest to the action for my latest trip. I believe the Primera Hotel has been undergoing upgrades since COVID. The results of these are visible in some areas and in others there is work to be done.
All the staff were superb. Friendly, helpful and welcoming. I didn't catch many names, but Njelli??Nellie?? on reception, Clayton night reception, were great. Housekeeping were also polite and very friendly.
The room, on the second floor, was quite large and comfortable. The furniture (wardrobes, drawers, bedside cabinets and fridge all looked brand new. The bed was two fairly basic metal frames with relatively poor mattresses, which had very stiff edges so there was no chance of a spread across the two singles to treat as a double bed.
The bathroom was again a good size and was clean with what looked like fairly new tiling. The only downside of the bathroom was the ridiculous shower cubicle with doors that don't roll on the runners but must be almost picked up and put into place when showering.
The roof terrace again looks as though it has been recently renovated and was a really surprising treat. Wonderfully clean and tidy. Plenty of loungers and a pool that is big enough to have a cooling dip when the sun gets a little hot. A TV plays tranquil music and WC/changing facilities were a nice touch. I would guess there is enough space for a small bar or a pool table up there if the owners were so inclined. I watched the Saturday of the Malta airshow display with a great view over St. Pauls bay. Such a shame that the Sunday was canceled due to the high winds.
The location can not be beaten. So many bars and restaurants are within a few minutes (in some cases seconds) walk. Less than a hundred yards to the promenade beach and swimming.
All in all I wouldn't hesitate to recommend, on the understanding that The Primera is not perfect but I believe they are working to get there. I for one will be back. Many thanks
Friendly helpful staff, beautiful hotel in a perfect location
Thank you to all the lovely friendly staff, always there to help , nothing is too much …I will definitely be back next year with my friend … Hotel is central to all the restaurants and the Beautiful sea is visible from our beautiful balcony … The hotel always looks and smells so clean …cant recommend enough
very good all round hotel
The reception staff, night porters and cleaning staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room on a higher floor with view of the square,clearly had been re decorated recently and was both spacious, comfortable bed, sheets changed every 3 days, towels when you wanted them. Breakfast was freshly cooked and a good selection, same as in many other hotels (including more expensive) i have stayed at in Malta. Can not comment on evening meals as was only b+b The dining room was a little tired but clean and the staff very cheerful. The hotels position is perfect and the noise from the square didn't really make much difference. The air con unit was both ice cold and silent. Nice small rooftop pool and loungers with excellent views across the bay. Well recommended for a budget hotel.
