This hotel has some good things and bad things, good is the location and not noisy ( except one night with load birthday party lasting till midnight). But the rooms are not great and charging 3 euros a night for safe and it’s tiny not attached to a wall, when most don’t charge now. Also spent most of holiday with poor cold showers with low water pressure. Took 4 complaints to get someone to respond. They need to sort water problems and better customer service. Also standard of painting in rooms is poor and basic furniture.

( s)Very nice hotel. Staff very polite and restaurant very good food. Nice spacious room, clean toilets. Nice, quite area. You can ,almost’ jump to the sea from your balcony!! But don’t try it 😄.
(-)The restaurant is a bit on the expensive side, especially orange juice which was a whopping €4 😳😲
5.0
Very enjoyable stay. Friendly staff throughout. Continental breakfast included full English. Hotel spotlessly clean throughout. Nice medium sized pool. Only downside was tea coffee facilities in room was not being replenished daily. Also had cream pots and not milk no good with tea. Location was excellent base for the night life but a peaceful 15 minute walk away. I would have no hesitation going back.

Pros - Ok location, with free parking. Reception staff pleasant.
Cons - Hotel is currently a building site, swimming pool is empty. Can hear drilling from early morning. Balcony doors screwed shut so can’t get any fresh air if you wanted!
We have been subjected to abuse from a small thin man with glasses on for the entirety of our trip!
On arrival our room was incorrect - 2 beds in a room for a family of 4. This was quickly corrected.
We went out for the day, came back to being abused for leaving our room. We had absolutely no idea what had happened whilst being out, and was treat appallingly with young children present!
After finding factual information regarding the self-isolation which clearly stated ‘persons arriving after 13:00CET into Malta must self quarantine for 14 days’ it was apparent this wasn’t us - we were in Malta prior to this yet the man in question would not listen or look at what we had to show.
Each and every time we have left the hotel we have been abused, the man has screamed at us across the hotel telling us to return to our room etc.
Again each time we have offered to show our arrival time into Malta - each time this was disregarded.
The room we were told to ‘live’ in was not adequate to spend a day in, never mind 14 days. You were complete bullies, and thought you could demand fees for a 14 night stay including food. No!
Me nor any of my family will ever step foot in Malta again! You ruined our trip out of greed!

The Gillieru hotel was very clean and spacious rooms. The breakfast was plentiful and very good but could have been organised a bit better. The reception staff Goran was fantastic and couldn't do enough to help. Always there with a pleasant smile and professional attitude. The cafe and reception area very cosy.

This is a lovely hotel that is very clean, good beds, great balcony views and central location. There are good choices at breakfast. The only complaint is that the restaurant karaoki should finish earlier for people needing to sleep to get up early for flights. Sadly some people think that they have a good voice.

Just great rest. Clean, calm, lovely with very good breakfast and unbelievable seaview. Additional thank you to the administration for high-level service and priceless advice.

Would have been better if we had tea and coffee facilities in our room.
The staff are amazing and the new restaurant and bar is great.
Some of the rooms need an upgrade but the hotel itself is great

Ok price for low season. Very nice Staff and beautiful view from the pool area. The surroundings are quite calm but walking up to the main road there are some pubs. The breakfast was ok though instead of bacon they served some other form of smoked pork which was slightly disappointing. All in all I enjoyed it and would go there again

I wanted a quiet, very clean hotel in a lovely area and the Gillieru Hotel was perfect for my requirements. The staff offer excellent and friendly service and are always ready to answer one's general enquiries re: buses, etc. My privacy was respected e.g. I needed only to place the 'do not disturb' sign on my door when I wanted just to rest and relax in my room. I was on bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast provided was very good. I would definately stay at this hotel again. On one occassion I lunched at the Gillieru Fish Restuarant which was excellent.

The hotel itself is fine, the staff were friendly enough however one of the night staff were fairly lazy and unhelpful. The room stank of cigarette smoke, after a few days of opening the windows whenever possible it improved, but still wasn't great. Additionally there was no shower curtain in the room so the water went everywhere whenever the shower was used. Lastly, the hair dryer would only work for about 30 seconds of continual use before it over heated. It was also tied into one of the desk drawers which meant it couldn't be used away from there and the only plug it would reach was the one the fridge was using. A bit of rearrangement of plugs sorted the issue, but it was something I wouldn't expect to be dealing with.
3.0
This is an adequate hotel with good facilities although it is a bit dated. The sea views are it's selling point and it is set in a quiet area while being a pleasant stroll away from the busy town centre.
Breakfast had an ample selection of hot and old items.
The staff we met were all very friendly and helpful.
We got great value for money.

For the price, this hotel is perfectly adequate. Linen and towels are quite rough, breakfast was buffet style but very low quality. Staff are cheerful and polite.
4.0
A. Good hotel right on the harbour and next to the St Paul & the Shipwreck Church. Good pool facilities- saltwater so you can't sink great as a confidence boost & young children. Good basic continental breakfast & buffet hotbreakfast( slightly strange one morning when fish shapes on offer). The room was good &I enjoyed the wet room bathroom & it was. Kept very clean. The only major defect was that there was only one small working lift that had a mind of its own. It could only take 2 people with luggage at a time & the lift always had floor 5 lit so it would always go up before coming down. This made checking out at breakfast difficult. The staff were excellant & very helpful. There are 2 restaurants across the road & another attached to the hotel but the promenade is only 5 minutes walk away with plenty of eateries. The bus stop for Buggibba is next to the hotel. I would recommend the hotel but it is more a 3 star room with 4 star staff & pool.

Stayed at The Gillieru with 2 other couples and elderly friend for whom it was chosen for its position and accessibility. Check in was very quick and straight forward and hotel foyer and communal areas appeared attractive and clean. The sea view rooms were basic, old fashioned but clean with tiled wet room style shower only bathrooms.
Pool and deck areas are well kept but loungers need updating and access to pool towels should be easier.
Over all a reasonable basic hotel with very helpful staff except for the breakfasts which are simply appalling and are unworthy even of this class of hotel.
The choice is minimal, the quality of food very poor and the juices, coffee, preserves must be the cheapest possible. The hot buffet terrines are unmarked but must be served by a waitress so begins the pantomime of lifting every lid to see the contents of each for every customer causing a queue preventing anyone else getting
to the coffee or the archaic toast machine.
The management, whom we never saw, should try having breakfast in the hotel one morning they would soon see that it is simply not good enough.
We were all agreed that given the Gillieru's outstanding position it deserves to be so much better and with a little updating and a total rethink of its breakfasts it could justify the 4 stars.

Great little hotel. A1 position in St Pauls Bay with fabulous views to St Pauls Island.Quite and good value. Staff are excellent with Maryrose at reception its standout, nothing too much trouble and very knowledgeable with regard to the town and the whole islands.Sea view room gives you the majestic panorama. Lifts are a little quirky but overlooked when everything considered.

This hotel seems typical of Maltese Hotels...no air-con. Yes there is a unit in the room, but like every single trip to Malta it just doesn't work. The hotel itself is neat and fairly tidy. The view from the sea view rooms is worth the extra money and is a short walk from St Pauls Bay which is a great spot. I would stay here again, just please get the air con sorted!!

The hotel was not as expected, it was very dated, bathroom was dirty, leaking toilet, electric sockets did not work in room apart from one. The sheets were clean but top covers had stains on them. We changed our hotel after one night of staying there.

Air conditioning doesn't work in the rooms! Not acceptable in a mediterranean summer, especially as the rooms are advertised as air conditioned. This spoilt an otherwise pleasant stay.
4.0
Mary Rose at the front desk is wonderful. The hotel really looks just like the pictures. Pool is salt water, but very nice and clean. The breakfasts have great service but the food is somewhat mediocre, Canned beans, hot dogs and poor coffee, boxed juice. Choices of fresh fruit you can take along. On the route of the Northern bus tour.
2.0
the hotel is on the sea front of St Pauls bay. There are a few shops & restaurants nearby but the main resort is a pleasant15 mins walk along the sea front .The area around the hotel is quiet and picturesque.Rooms are a little small and jaded but clean and functional. Had a sea view room which was well worth the extra price. Breakfast was plentiful with a hot option of eggs and bacon or sausage. NB there is free wi-fi in reception only, internet in the room will incur an extra charge. I would likely stay here again.

We prefer small hotels and this was perfect for us,in a wonderful location overlooking a small harbour with tremendous views.The rooms are spacious and light with balconies;our linen was changed every day and everything was very clean.Staff were pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of breakfast but no variation and it would have been nice to have some Maltese bread or produce. There was always fresh fruit. It is better value to book half board: we had dinner on one night only and it was twice the price and not good value.No choice of vegetables but they were very well cooked.
Choice of 3 deserts were tinned pears and 3 choices of slices of gateaux, different flavours but rather tasteless and we thought frozen or bought.Service in the dining room was excellent and cheerful.
Bedside lamps were dim for reading and had burnt shades, and the bathroom fitments were shabby and needed re-newing. 20 euros for using the room safe for a week, we found a bit steep compared to other places where we have stayed, but for the room rate we paid, we were very satisfied.
There is a 5 star restaurant nearby with matching prices, and we found it hard to find somewhere to eat a reasonable meal. At the top of the hill there is a small eatery which we found useful, with friendly and helpful staff.
