Euroclub Hotel

Having booked the Euro Club did not really know what to expect with the conflicting reviews. One thing I think is unhelpful is to review a hotel 12 months after a stay, as so much can change. The Euro Club Hotel offers half board for an amazing 15 pounds a night; so expectations cannot be 5 star, in fact I would rate the hotel as a 2 star not 3 star but in saying that we had a pleasant week's stay and would have no hesitation stay again. It is located right in the centre of the resort. Rooms are standard size with balcony overlooking other apartments, they have TV and basic furniture, however our beds certainly were past their sell by date. The Bathroom was also basic but plenty of hot water and towels changed daily. Breakfast is buffet with cornflakes, juice, toast, ham, cheese and coffee/tea all of which were quickly replenished, a full cooked breakfast is available at 2.90 euros supplement which can be recommended. The 3 course evening meal started with a different soup each night or, spaghetti bolognese, egg mayonnaise, ham/cheese salad, the main course also changed daily with Beef, Chicken, Fish, Pork dishes, again alternative meals can also be ordered. Sweet was plain cake or pastries which they did run out on the Sunday of our stay! All the food we had was basic but well cooked, we had no need to find alternative dining. Beer at 1 Euro for a 500ml can is available. The hotel is family run and by the end of our stay each of the staff were know by Christian names with nothing too much trouble. In conclusion the hotel is very basics with no frills and in places it is poorly lit and will not be to everyone's taste, the owner has diversified by letting out part of the building to a Church and regular Bingo sessions for the locals are held in the Breakfast room, however we found it to be a clean and tidy establishment with a personal touch together with prices which we would find hard to beat.

This was our second visit to Malta and the Euroclub Hotel and again niether dissapointed us, the three weeks we spent there more than lived up to our expectations, the manager Seyad and all accociated with the hotel were very warm, curtious and helpful. The room was large and so was the bathroom which included a hair drier, all was cleaned daily with a change of towels, what more could you ask, food was again veried with the addition of a special main course each night, a welcome change is the way they have opened an area at the front of the hotel for dinning which makes it a lot more like alfresco dinning I think for the price we paid, the Euroclub Hotel would be hard to beat and was outstanding value for money. Thanks and well done to all the staff at the hotel we look forward to returning again.

by far the worst hotel we have stayed in rooms basic crawling with ants i asked the cleaner for ant spray she did not even have a duster used the towels out of the bathroom to clean with we did have clean towels if we left them on the floor though breakfast consisted of ham curling up at the sides wasnt very fresh and jam or cerial that was it.manager was very rude to guest and staff reception lights were never on at night we had to walk through in the dark the dining room was used for bingo meals had to be taken in the bar even breakfast I WOULDNT RECOMEND THIS HOTEL TO MY WORST ENEMY malta was great bus station near by we went all over the island

We booked this last minute, very good deal £1021 including fees charges, flights airport transfer, This was for Half Board. Staff were very nice, room was always cleaned every day, good location, nice semi sand,stone beach just 2 mins work very very safe for kids, we didnt go in pool as it seemed a bit mad but nice enough pool 3 of them cleaned well every morning. Half board for only £400 for a family of 4 seemed to good to be true? breakfast was just cornflakes, tea, coffee or juice (which was excellent) toast butter jam ham and cheese... Far from a good cooked breakfast but acceeptable for the price. Evening meals were very nice big portions but limited in choice, kids get burger and nuggets anc chips only and as our kids dont eat that they like proper food wasnt so good, but if you like spag bol, fish and chips omelets etc then this food will be for you. As it was so cheap we ate out every night for between €22 and €45 euro including wine. we had our bag stolen when we were out and the hotel offered to lend us money orhelp which we throught was excellent. so all in all if your on a budget I dont think youll do better than this.. oh yes it right next to the bus station, so for €1.12 you can ride all over the island no need for a car and the kids love it.

Just read some of the reviews on this hotel, had to wreite because its that good we are going back for the second time this year. Brilliant evening meals, breakfast wasnt too bad. There was alot of work going on in the hotel while there last year (never caused us any bother though), so hopefully it will be finished this year. Rooms arnt 5 star obviously but why would that matter when all you do is sleep in them, cleaners are in every day, to me thats all you need, a clean room to sleep in. Loved the staff, hotel, where is was situated just everything. Love malta been loads of times, now weve found a hotel that we know we are going to enjoy every year.

I cannot understand how these people say the Euroclub hotel is very bad, i went for a whole two weeks there and i have found it very nice, the staff was very kind and helpful, the rooms where clean always and the breakfast was great. There was daily entertainment and a very friendly atmosphere. the pool area was nice with an efficant pool bar with resonable prices. the three course dinner was very good, this is a very good hotel with great value for money, we requested a safe and it was immediatly answered by the receptionist. Looking at all these things that i have mentioned above along with great weather it made a very good holiday.

Our group of four have just survived a week’s stay at the Euroclub and, for the first time in my life, I’ve decided to write a review. First, the good news is you will never have a problem getting a sun bed. This is mainly because the sun is permanently blotted out from the pool area which is surrounded on all four sides by high-rise buildings. Okay, you might get some sun between 11:00 and 13:00 when the sun is directly above but that’s about all. The hotel charges 5 euros to access the pool area. (see photo) The hotel bears little resemblance between the photos used in the Euroclub website and the actual reality. For instance, the website’s outside shot shows row after row of pristine white balconies. In reality there are just a few grey, concrete outcrops. (see photo). On entering, you need to pause for a moment while your eyes adjust to the gloom of the windowless reception area which is lit by a solitary light over the receptionist’s desk (see photo). The website also shows a sparkling bar area but again, the reality is very different. The bar in the reception area was just an empty, dusty glass display cabinet, devoid of any products whatsoever. (see photo) It seemed that every time we passed through the reception area there would be another irate customer complaining about losing 4 euros to the coin operated internet access facility. We took the hint and never used the facility which was grossly overpriced anyway. On our arrival we were shown to the most disgustingly filthy rooms that I have ever seen – in a hotel or otherwise. Complaints to the duty manager gained us a change of room. This was a bit cleaner but was lacking in many of the facilities that were supposed to be in every room. For example, there was no hairdryer, there were no lamps in the bathroom mirror lights (see photo) and, (I kid you not), no toilet brush. Well that’s not strictly true – we found a toilet brush in an alcove in the corridor which we presumed was the communal toilet brush (see photo). It may have been for use by all occupants of the 2nd floor or maybe for all hotel occupants. We didn’t investigate this possibility any further! Talking about toilet brushes reminds me that the water flow into the WC cistern is terribly slow, taking at least half an hour before a second flush can be made. Obviously, this means a great deal of cooperation and understanding between room mates. Oh, and if it’s a bit messy, I’m afraid you’ll just have to go looking for the aforementioned communal toilet brush. Room cleaning was a hit-or-miss affair, mostly miss. In fact cleaning is the wrong word as there was no evidence of this happening, quite the opposite in fact – see my photo of the shower drain hole if you have a strong stomach. Occasionally the beds had been made but complaints to the receptionists were met with a resigned “What can I do?” shrug of the shoulders and an offer of clean towels. Some might find the towels to be quite erotic, being of the see-through threadbare variety. If you’ve already committed to coming to this dump then we highly recommend that you pay the extra for a room-safe. Due to a key mix-up, we accidentally discovered our key for room 229 also fitted our friend’s room (230). Again, we didn’t investigate if it fitted any other rooms! If you still insist on booking into this hell-hole then I hope you like cheese for breakfast. Breakfast consists of salami-type meats, cereal, bread and cheese. The cheese is of the “Kraft Slices” variety being individually wrapped in plastic. The remaining breakfast items lay exposed to swarms of grateful flies and Lord knows what else. (See photo) Incidentally, you can choose to pay an additional 2.90 euros for an ‘English Breakfast’. We didn’t take up this offer because, if this is the standard of hygiene offered in public view, what on earth must it be like in the kitchen? The lifts were a bad joke. It was possible to call a lift down to the ground floor and then use it to go up to the second floor. Descending was a different, and very dangerous, matter. The lift could not be called to the second floor so we had to stumble our way down stairs in pitch darkness, even during the daytime (Sorry, no photos – not enough light and a flash photo would defeat the objective). The manager, whom we complained to about this (and the non-existent lighting in the rest of the hotel), told me with a straight face that he was trying to save electricity. Finally, I’ll mention that our friend’s sleep was disturbed by the scuttling about of numerous two-inch long cockroaches. I didn’t tell them until we got back to the UK that these monsters can also fly! I was based here with the RN in the 60’s and we used to call them “flying-ali-croca-beetles”. It seems they’re still here and living well at the Euroclub Hotel. Please, if you value your health, DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. I like Malta and its people having been based here for two years. We have also holidayed here a few times but this nightmare experience has put me off from ever returning here

We booked this budget hotel not expecting too much. Like I said, how can you complain about the accommodation when it is sooooo cheap? If you want luxury, pay for it!! The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was to be desired though. If you book this hotel, book it on a room only basis and skip breakfast and dinner. The room was clean, airy and spacious and all have a ceiling fan and balcony. Air Con and Fridge can be hired at a cost of €2.30 per day. The rooms were cleaned daily. The location was perfect, very close to the beach and two streets from the bus terminal where you can get a bus to anywhere on the island. This hotel is in built in the touristic area of Buggiba, there are nothing but concrete blocks of hotels and pubs with english names so the things that come with this sort of location are: Time share sellers, tourists, tourists and more tourists. The hotel is in the ideal location for a base, we rarely stayed in the area and if you do not wish to travel and see the island but do not want to be in the heart of tourist town then stay in a different town. I would recommend this hotel to my friends, both with and without children but I would advise anyone who expects quality to pay for it and go to another hotel. This is by far one of the better budget hotels I have stayed in in Europe and if you are looking for a budget hotel, this is the one for you!

We stayed at the euroclub last week in July 2008 seemed a nice hotel on arrival the manager Siheed was very helpful nothing too much trouble, but at dinner we had to have our meal in the watson pub as not enough guests in for the restaurant to be used they seemed very short staffed this happened again on the second day we were not impressed to sit at a wooden table no tablecloths and in with the public at least breakfast was in the restaurant but continental style. when we were taken to our room it was very strange we had to go through the restaurant around the inside pool area which i thought was dangerous then up some steps bannister unsafe room very basic no telephone in the room as on our last day my husband was ill and i needed a doctor had to shout over the balcony to get help the pool attendants were cleaning the pool and they got the manager and he sent for the doctor, rooms very hot and stuffy had to leave the patio doors closed as the mosquitoes were about and we had already been bitten,and the fan in the room was in adiquate the hotel is halve open the rest has not been refurbished yet we felt sorry for the manager he was short staffed and some staff not turning in for work he always seemed to be there even on his days off he works really hard. also in this area we were pestered with timeshare people they dont take no for an answer, but we had a good week could have had a better hotel i dont like going to a hotel halve finished and no staff but the manager was excellent copeing with a bad situation

We arrived at the Euro Club Hotel at very short notice, due to experiencing problems at another hotel. Mario the owner was very helpful and let us have a room, which had only just been renovated. The Hotel is a B & B basis only, but food can be bought if you so wish. We hired a car, so we were out & about quite a lot, but we did eat there a couple of times and we were more than happy with the quality and price of the food. Our bedroom was very clean & tidy and the furniture was new. The bathroom was lovely, which had a bath and shower, with plenty of hot water. There is daily entertainment, which was of a very high standard and the bar serves local and other drinks at excellent prices. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, especially Sahid, and Mario the owner. We will certainly stay there again if we visit Malta another time, and would recommend the Euro Club Hotel to everyone!
