Quick and pleasant check in. We'd booked an apartment, very happy with it, again pleasant cleaning staff. As people have mentioned, noise seems to travel, as everywhere has tiled floors. I had a massage which was very enjoyable. We had a meal in Tosca on our last night, again enjoyable meal, nice staff.

The room was so spacious and clean. I didnt use it but the kitchenette was a very good addition. The whole hotel is well looked after and very comfortable. It must be amazing in summer with the rooftop pools. The spa was lovely and well maintained. The gym looked decent but i didn't use it. The breakfast was plentuful and well organised. Also i had the evening buffet once during my stay and it was lovely. I would love to stay at the Solano again in the future.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our room had AC system that leaked on to our bed. They changed the bed linen and added a towel to the duct to absorb the water until morning. Morning past, afternoon past and in the following evening we arrived back to our room to find the water was dripping on the bed and floor like a running tap. We got told they would put another towel in to absorb the water through the night again but complained as it was nearly midnight at this point. We got moved to a temporary room to just sleep that night. It was awful. Noisy and smoke alarm kept flashing all night. The following mor I by the moved us to a “supreme” room. It was pretty standard room, luckily we did not have issues with the room going forward. The staff gave us a bottle of wine and some sweets to say sorry. Overall Food was delicious, staff were polite. The heated Pools were lovely but busy as expected during colder season and spa treatments were very good.

A hidden gem of hospitality. The staff is very friendly. On Mondays and Thursdays there was live music in the lobby: you can mingle and dance. The hotel is clean and the staff very responding to any issues. We found the indoor pool too busy, but the sauna was perfect. The spa is basic, but nice. I enjoyed a chocolate euphoria treatment. We spent 1 month at this hotel so we got to know not just the hotel staff but also the locals. We found a karaoke bar close by and enjoyed the locals' company every friday. After 4 weeks, we knew each other by name!! There are many restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. We loved the location as we were able to hike and take the bus to Valletta or any other city. Overall, a great location for us, good food, good people, clean facities and easy access to larger cities. Gladly recommend the place.
