Hotel Viu57

We spent 7 days in Malta in this hotel. The hotel is clean, the room is clean, the balcony, the view. The beds are soft. Note only that the room does not have a safe, and slippers are not provided. Breakfast is good. The location is excellent, the bus station for all directions is a 10-minute walk away. The beautiful church and several nearby cafes give the place a special charm. All in all, a nice stay and recommended to anyone who wants to stay in a peaceful environment and near beautiful sandy beaches.

The Hotel itself is small compared to some of the others, I liked the size, everywhere looked clean and while there, they kept checking the pool, also the staff were always very friendly. Our experience getting to the hotel was not good but that’s not the fault of the Hotel ,(Supreme Travel). the Hotel has a good position with a nice view of the sea, we booked 4 standard rooms, and all were different, two couples got bigger, nicer rooms with front views of the sea. The first room we were given was very small with the small bathroom at the end of bed, there was a problem with the door so we switched to a side room, no view but I liked the room more, a small balcony for one chair, cupboard in bathroom which was convenient and private. Clean. Unfortunately we and another couple only got a kettle in the room and nothing else to make a drink with, which was totally pointless (I thought it was an oversight and it would be sorted when they cleaned the room,wrong, the other two got all drink making facilities and a good selection of drinks in their rooms. I ate in the restaurant on two evenings , and both meals were freshly cooked to perfection, I was shocked it was always empty but they were slow on arrival and the meals didn’t come out together, I’d nearly finished mine by the time my friend’s meal came out. However worth the wait for the quality, the best fries in Malta. Possibly quiet as it’s the start of the season. The breakfast was both good and bad, the continental range was good, bread, cheese, cold boiled eggs, olives, pickles,fruit, little pastries, cereal, yogurt with jams and honey. The hot food was not, was mostly cold, the bacon was nice but random selection each day, bacon, egg , sausage, beans one day but then no beans rest of the week, one day with just omelette, pancake and fried potatoes slices..or cold boiled eggs with pancakes another day..very random. The drink machine didn’t offer decaf coffee and kept breaking down, the juices were too watered down to have any flavour. The reason it lost one star was partly because of the breakfast/drinks but mainly because on leaving I needed to use the bathroom in reception, a person was cleaning the toilet seat and bowl so I asked if i could use it, they kindly left but used the same cloth to wipe the door handles as they walked out and when I came outside they were still using the same cloth to wipe down the sun loungers and little tables ( and there was me avoiding salad and only drinking bottled water to avoid an upset stomach to find out it’s the surfaces I shouldn’t touch 🤦‍♀️, I had the same problem with a cleaner I had at home that thought it was ok to use the same cloth for everything ) . So all in all, problems that can be sorted easily. A nice little hotel at a reasonable price in a quiet area. Good for couples but not really suitable for children.

We stayed at the Viu57 early May and found it more than adequate in all aspects, unlike the ridiculous negative review from Catherine ( or is it Karen ). The breakfast was ok and you could have a hot or cold meal. The views are spectacular from the sea view rooms, which are a good size and clean and comfortable. The hotel is on a hill, so if you have mobility issues then it’s not for you. Staff were very attentive and friendly.
