Soreda Hotel

We have just returned from malta and our first holiday booked with Mercury Direct,well,I have to say a very big thank you to Mercury Direct for outstanding value for money and a very much needed relaxing break.We were a tad dubious to start with as we had not had any dealings or knew of anyone that had used Mercury Direct before,now I will definately recommend this company to everyone I know that likes to travel.Every part of our holiday was perfect,the meeting at the airport,the rep was fine,the hotel was great,the food was amazing,we will most definately be booking with mercury Direct again!Thank you for our much needed holiday!!xx

June 2011. Having just returned from our honeymoon in the Soreda Hotel we can report that we had a pleasant stay here. The food was excellent and so was the choice. The room we had (443) was very clean and quiet but air con not good. Infact it was more like a fan than air con (as most of the guests will tell you). We had to move our bed every night to underneath the FAN otherwise we were not able to sleep as it was too hot. We did report this but nothing was done as the hotel does not seem to think there is a problem. But it's not air con as we know it that's for sure. The evening entertainment was very good most nights. But do be aware there is none at all during the day. The swimming pools are small but you can go to other hotels nearby with larger pools at a small daily cost. Most of the staff here were very pleasant except for a couple of female receptionists who were rude to most people they spoke to. Also, one of the waiting staff was very unhelpful when we went for dinner and could not find a table and was simply told there weren't any and he walked away. We seated ourselves in the end and avoided his area thereafter. It can also be difficult getting a drink at mealtimes as there does not seem to be enough staff on duty to cope. I would not say this is a good hotel for children as there is not much for them to do at this hotel. It's very easy getting around in Malta and the local buses are very cheap. But do be prepared to be disappointed with the local places of interest.

Extrememly good value for money. Rather dated in decor especially bathrooms. Cleaned every day. Large rooms. Close to buses. Breakfast very good.Would use again.

Four of us aged in our 50s and 60s had a very enjoyable week at this hotel in April. We thought the choice of food was amazing at each meal, and was well cooked and interesting. I do not like meat, but still found plenty of dishes that I enjoyed. I am really surprised that othere reviewers were complaining about the breakfasts, when there was plenty of hot and cold food availabe. Some entertainment was a little boring, but we really enjoyed watching the dance champions on two evenings. The hotel was in a good quiet position, but accessible to local shops, pubs, buses and coast. Our only bad comment would be that the dining room and bar had no natural light, and there were no outdoor spaces apart from on the roof and by the swimming pool, but that cannot be helped owing to the layout. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the spacious room and balcony were cleaned to a high standard daily. Overall we would be happy to recommend this hotel to others.

Wife and I stayed in the Soreda last November,paid less for a weeks all inclusive than five days self catering in Butlins.Absolutely the best value hotel in Malta,booked again for 2011.We`ve been to Malta dozens of times and this is the best 3/4 star we have stayed at.

After having stayed in the Qwara Inn three years ago I looked in trepidation at some of the comments about the Soreda. I neednt have worried though. Everything is clean - our room was done daily with fresh towels to a very high standard. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of the staff. Food wise - it is excellent, well cooked and a good variety to cater for all tastes.
The final big plus point for me are the beds. I normally dont sleep well in a twin bed but have slept like a log every night.
Definately worth a visit !

I stayed for 3 nights in a disabled room which i did not requested. It was very difficult for a not disabled person to use the toilet and to take shower. The breakfast didn't have fresh fruits/breads and the receptionist(female)wearing glasses, dark hair/eyes who's working on Sunday morning 20/6/10 was very rude when i asked for tourist informations. She should not be working with customers. A lady called Anabelle's got a very antipathy with customers too.
