Very good hotel with better public transport connectivity. Bus stops of Ross and Spinola in 5 mins reach. I wouldn't rate the hotel as 4 star, may be 3 or 3.5 star. But, hotel service and breakfast is amazing.

Location was pretty decent and the rooftop pool was pretty nice. The rooms did have a dated feel to them as well as the bathroom for four-star hotel. The breakfast buffet was pretty good although no one told us about the option to get custom made omelettes waffles or pancakes so if you stay there, make sure you start that on the first day! We didn’t know until day three.

I booked and paid this hotel in advance. I was told that I needed to pay 3 Euro city tax but I didn’t not have any Euros on me at that time and was going to pay with my cc. I was told not to work and I could pay later. The next morning I went the ATM , got some cash and paid my 3 Euro bill. The woman behind the counter was busy and took the money but did not give me a receipt. The next day I was asked to pay the tax and I explained that I already had. On checking out I was told again I needed to pay the 3 Euro tax. After having a conversation and getting nowhere I went ahead and paid the taxes again !!! Get a receipt for everything from this hotel , the gym was so minimal you could barely call it a gym. It is in a good location though and the rooftop pool area is nice.

We stayed for 2 nights. The area was pretty safe to walk around during the day/night. The room was very spacious especially for being in Europe as most hotels are smaller. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine for as a VIP Expedia guest which I really liked. Their breakfast was pretty fulfilling but needed some updates towards their menu. Also the room air conditioner wasn’t working properly which was an inconvenience. We had a window in our room so we would open during the day/night so it wouldn’t get stuffy. There is a bus stop 2 minutes from the hotel, and a very walkable area.

This can't be a 4-star hotel. Except being quite clean in general, the hotel was awful. Sound proofing is a joke, you can hear noises from the street all night long. Could not sleep at all. The most ridiculous thing was they charge us 10 euros for making the bathroom mat towels dirty. This is absurd if you are not allowing people to step on the bath mat and put it on floor. It was totally unfair and the staff was rude. I would not recommend you to get this hotel. You can definitely find something better with this price. The facility was not particualrly good, doesnt worth a 4 star.

Definitely a clean hotel. The room heats well, has a nice view. Swimming pool not used, but normal given the weather. A little small, I have no idea whether the entrance is chaotic in summer or not. However, the way the room is structured can be improved. The spaces are optimal, but not optimized. At the side of the bed there is a huge unused space, where a wardrobe could be added or something that can be used to place stuff. Bedside tables a little too small. Same thing in the bathroom. The shower was excellent, the bathroom structure was good but... a lot of unused space. Difficult to support anything. My least favorite thing is the soundproofing: you could really hear everything from the other rooms, from arguments to the shower. The mattress, blankets and cleanliness were excellent.

On arrival I was allocated a room in Quaddro over the road from Argento. The room was spotlessly clean with lovely fresh bedding although not changed during my five night stay. The lovely towels were changed daily. Breakfast was in Argento and could not have been any better. The pool in Quaddro was difficult to get in to. The Argento pool was better and had more sunbeds and parasols and a bar. Pool towels are provided. Both hotels are well placed. St Julian's one way Paceville another and the bus stop a two minutes walk. Enjoyed this area of Malta on my third visit.

A Huge Disappointment – Definitely Not a Four-Star

I stayed at Hotel Argento in Malta, and unfortunately, it was a very poor experience from start to finish. The standard was low, and I honestly can’t understand how this hotel is rated four stars. The AC was turned off every night, so the rooms got extremely hot – we were sweating through every night. We spoke to the staff about the AC issue three days in a row, but nothing was done. They said they would look into it, but nothing changed. Very poor service. The balconies were tiny, barely real balconies – more like French balconies. The room decor was outdated and worn out. Basic toiletries like shower gel, hand cream, and hand soap were missing and never restocked during room service. Completely unacceptable. Breakfast was also quite underwhelming. The staff seemed stressed, the fruit was always gone quickly, and what little was available was old and unappetizing. The pools were especially disgusting. There were clumps of hair, insects, and all kinds of debris floating around. It’s unclear how often they’re cleaned, but it didn’t seem like hygiene was a priority at all. Overall, this is not a hotel I would recommend. It doesn’t meet even basic expectations, let alone those of a four-star establishment.

Allt var bra, förutom duschen. Ont om platser att hänga sin handduk på så att det inte blev blöt när man duschade. Dåligt tryck i duschen. Badkaret som man stod i fylldes på under tiden man duschade om man inte flyttade på proppen helt, och när proppen låg i så fylldes inte badkaret på helt utan när vattnet nådde en viss nivå så tömdes det i samma takt som duschen fyllde på. Stativet för duschen satt alldeles för lågt och gick inte att justera.
