About Gillieru Harbour Hotel
Overlooking a pretty fishing harbour in Malta's St. Paul's Bay, Gillieru Harbour Hotel is a well-established hotel in a popular tourist area of the island.
The bright, airy rooms have private, furnished balconies and air conditioning, while some also have sea views. Amenities like hairdryers and safes are provided.
The hotel features an outdoor pool and terrace which looks out onto the sea. Gillieru Harbour Hotel also provides guests with free Wi-Fi and free parking.
A free, cooked breakfast is provided in the mornings. The hotel's restaurant specialises in fresh fish dishes, and there's a separate bar.
Central Bugibba bustles with shops and restaurants, and this lively area is just a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Bugibba Beach is less than a mile away.
Positive Reviews
positive:
Serene sea views and rooftop swimming.
Imagine waking up to the sound of the sea and flinging open your balcony doors to a vision of blue. Gillieru Harbour has an enviable seafront position, and guests love the sea views from their rooms or from the rooftop pool.
positive:
Polite and helpful staff respond quickly to guest needs.
Guests praise the service they receive from the staff, who are quick to respond to requests and problems. Housekeeping staff provide a high quality, efficient service to keep your room in tip-top condition.
positive:
Well-connected location for travel around the island.
Gillieru Harbour really does have the best of both worlds - it has a tranquil location, but it's just a short walk to central tourist hotspots like Bugibba. It's also next to a bus stop for island-wide travel, if you don't have a car.
Negative Reviews
negative:
The lifts have a tendency to break down.
Considering that the hotel has five floors, it can be a nuisance if the lifts break down, which they seem to have a regular habit of doing. Guests also complain that when they are working, they are slow and noisy.
negative:
The food, especially breakfast, is not popular.
Though the breakfast is free, many guests choose to go elsewhere to eat, because the food on offer at the hotel doesn't appeal. Reports of mashed potato as a breakfast item might have something to do with its lack of popularity.
negative:
Amenities in the room could be improved.
Wi-Fi is only available in public areas, and no tea or coffee is provided in the rooms. These are relatively minor niggles, but they can take the shine off, and it's something to be aware of in case you always need that morning cuppa.
