Valletta, Malta

[brommers]

Even the mere mention of "Malta" should be enough to put one off, let alone the fact that Malta is home to the majority of the current tax scams. A Maltese 5* hotel is in fact a a 3* if you're lucky. Stay well clear.

Malta is a weird country mate, I did a few months there, I wouldn't again.

Accommodation in Malta is expensive. I have a mate who lives there (last 7 years) and is currently working in gaming. It's a young persons game - daft hours, tulip money but it's a laugh and an experience.

And that isn't that great.

If Malta or Gibraltar is mentioned I automatically assume the contract is for a betting firm and reject the approach.

easier to find a hotel that is not full of asylum seekers in Malta than the UK though eh

Not true, the Grand Excelsior and Phoenicia both overlooking the Grand Harbour in Valletta are quite impressive and I've stayed in some beautiful air bnb apartments too
Hyatt Regency has recently opened in St Julians but haven't stayed there yet.

The asylum seekers are well away from the tourists, housed in freight containers.

I'll be staying in the Rosselli next week which looks to be far superior to the Hilton (any Hilton)
