Hotel Rokna - St Julian's

Our room was very dark (especially the bathroom) and noisy (almost all the night).

Very friendly and helpful stuff. Dont expect any view but great location. little bit noisy because of the road in th front, could be useful to get a room on the upper floors.

I had no complaints of the service or the meals at rokna in fact they were superb my complaints were the cars revving up at the speed bumps and then again at the roundabout at all hours of the night, also they had about 15 schoolies staying at the hotel and all hours of the night you had doors slamming and chairs scraping on the floor, maybe my timing for the holiday was not the best

Very nice hotel

My wife and I spent 3 night at Rokna Hotel from 25th to 28th July 2009. The hotel staff were really nice, helpful and provided us with all the necessary information about places to visit, the most appropriate way to reach them....we were also offered to leave our luggage at the hotel the day of our check-out and to use the hotel facilities (bathroom, shower,etc.) in case we wanted to have the last swim beore our flight back. Breakfast (included in the price) was good.The air conditioning system worked properly.On saturday night it was almost impossible to sleep because of the noise (the hotel is close to disco and pubs area). The hotel includes a well known restaurant where you can eat both typical Malta dishes and excellent pizza.

Rokna Hotel è una buona alternativa per una sistemazione più che dignitosa ad un prezzo competitivo. Le camere sono buone e pulite, il bagno (almeno nel mio caso) non era assolutamente all'altezza di un hotel tre stelle (anche in fatto di pulizia). Nel complesso comunque il giudizio è sicuramente positivo.

Centrale per i ristoranti e vicino alla fermata dell'autobus per gli spostamenti. Nel week-end la zona è piuttosto rumorosa, ma non impedisce di dormire. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. Secondo me qualità/prezzo ottima!

Our stay at Hotel Rokna was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the hotel was in a great location for our needs. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

L'hotel è in una buon posizione rispetto alle attrattive dell'isola ma è sporco e le camere assolutamente rumorose. la stanza nn è mai stata pulita nn hanno svuotato neppure il cestino della spazzatura. si sono limitati a cambiare gli ascigamani in bagno.il personale però è molto disponibile. la cucina dell'hotel tanto decanatata sul sto nn è nulla di che. soggiorno nn proprio felice soprattutto per il caos creato dagli altri ospiti e da un forte vento che distrurbava il sonno visto che le finestre nn si chiudono bene. il prezzo troppo alto visto quello che offrono. assolutamnte sconsigliato

Hotel Rokna is centrally located near the Hilton and within walking distance of everything Saint Julian's has to offer. The rooms are a bit old with spartan furnishings and mattresses that could be replaced, yet everything was cleaned well. A curtain was torn down a bit in our room, so in the first night it was a bit too bright due to a lantern on the street outside. When we complained about this at the reception, the problem was fixed the same day. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice staff, spacy and clean rooms, rather noisy place but shopping centre and bus station very close to hotel, excellent pizza in hotel restaurant, hope to come back again

L'HOTEL E' PERFETTAMENTE POSIZIONATO PER QUALUNQUE SIA LA VACANZA CHE SI VUOLE TRSCORRERE. RISTORANTI,LOCALI,DISCOTECHE E PERFINO LE FERMATE DELL'AUTOBUS CON I QUALI CI SI PUO' MUOVERE PER TUTTA MALTA SONO VERAMENTE A DUE PASSI. NONSTANTE I LOCALI NOTTURNI SIANO VICINISSIMI L'HOTEL E' POSIZIONATO IN MODO TALE DA PERMETTERE AI CLIENTI DI POTER DORMIRE TRANQUILLAMENTE A QUALSIASI ORA DELLA NOTTE SENZA ESSERE MINIMAMENTE DISTURBATI NE DALLA MISUCA NE DALLA GENTE IN STRADA. ALLA RECEPTION SI TROVA PRATICAMENTE UN VERO E PROPRIO UFFICIO DEL TURISMO CON PERSONE DAVVERO CORTESI E DISPONIBILI. SIAMO STATI PERFETTAMENTE CONSIGLIATI SU QUALSIASI COSA CHE ABBIAMO CHIESTO...SPOSTAMENTI CON AUTOBUS....ESCURSIONI A COMINO,GOZO E SULL'ISOLA....PERFINO SUL TAXI CHE CI HA RIPORTATO ALL'AEREOPORTO. CI SI PUO' DAVVERO FIDARE AD OCCHI CHIUSI!!! SE DOVESSI TORNARE UN GIORNO A MALTA DI CERTO TORNEREI QUI. GRAZIE DAVVERO...

Good place to spend holiday, this hotel is well located if you like going out this evening. I spend 10 days during august, it was nice. But next time i will try september to have less tourist and to be more quiet.

This hotel was one of the best 3* accommodations I have stayed in. The service was great, the rooms were clean and we really enjoyed our stay. It is a great place for someone who wants to make their own holiday rather than stay at the hotel pool all week. It is near loads of restaurants, the marina, the sea and local shops.

We stayed at Il Rokna while attending a conference at St Julians (Hotel International). The location was within easy walking distance of the conference venue and was in a good neighbourhood, near the Hilton and with easy bus access to Valletta. There is also an excellent cafe/restaurant just over the road and two nearby internet cafes. Although there were a number of night clubs in adjacent streets these did not bother us when walking late at night or with noise. The hotel staff were helpful, especially so when a dentist was required. The breakfast was quite adequate and we also used the restaurant on one occasion for one of the "famed" pizzas. Our only complaint was the shower. We stayed on the top floor and the water pressure from the shower was less than adequate, with poor water flow.

It is better than i image. The hotel is clear and quiet. You can have a good sleep.

1.Too much noise outside - can't be helped by hotel. 2.Had lots of problems with wi-fi which really frustrated me and almost ruined my week. 3.If I wanted to buy a family hotel this would be the one. Staff, location, room, food, all great.

A very nice hotel, without presumptions, ideal for lone travellers who looks only for a place to stay, centric, near touristic places, rests. & so on, only difficult to park around but if you travl only to Malta, forget the car! buses take you almost everywhere!

Very noise hotel, not for relaxing holiday

Need a better public area with a TV with Cable. The staff were excellent! This defenitely made up for any other short comings.

I used the Rokna as my headquarters for the Malta Cut Snooker Tournament 2008 at the Hilton across the street. The hotel Rokna is basic and a little tatty, but very pleasant. The restaurant is fantastic! This was my first visit, and I'll definitely be staying there again.

Great value. Double room for 40e a night + breakfast. All but one of the staff were wonderful. The streets outside were a little noisy at night though.

Me and my girlfriend (now fiancée ;-)) where staying at Ir-Rokna for a whole week and we enjoyed waking up every morning and having a nice breakfast as well as coming home after a long touristic day to relax in the nice and cosy room. Unexpectedly we had a balcony and a bathtub and wireless internet in lounge, foyer and restaurant and it is true: the personnel creates a very family-like atmosphere. If we were to come back to Malta we would definitely consider to stay in the same hotel again. A last remark: You have to try out the Pizza they serve in their Restaurant! It is simply great!!

The hote is right for youg people becouse it close to night life. the employees are kind and helpful

Excellent value spacious room with balcony, handy for shops, restaurants, buses and for very nearby Hilton Conference Centre. Bathing beach and nightclubs also very close. Downside was traffic noise late into the night, particularly Friday and Saturday. A window in the bathroom gave onto a wide shaft receiving the hot air from all the guest-controlled air conditioning units. This actually warmed the rooms, whereas the traffic noise made it difficult to have the front balcony doors open. I think air con is bad for the environment and shouldn't be necessary in Malta at the end of September, so I didn't use it and had some quite sweaty nights!

Hotel Rokna is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for inexpensive accommodation. Indeed, although rooms are not extremely large, they all have air conditioning and a fridge to keep your things cool. In every room there is also a tv with satellite channels. Breakfast is continental type, but you can eat enough food to keep you going until the afternoon. At nights, in the hotel restaurant you can eat a great pizza, one of the best we have ever eaten outside Italy. The hotel is really conveniently located, just opposite Portomaso Tower, with a supermarket in its basement, and round the corner from the restaurants, shops and fun of Paceville. Public transport is just a short walk away. Unfortunately, Maltese drivers tend to make a wide use of their cars' horn, besides listening to loud music from their radios, so it is easy to be awaken in the middle of the night by the traffic, despite having closed the windows. The owners are really friendly and helpful, and were a great help in organising our trip around Malta.

I really enjoyed my stay at the rokna. it was not clean as i thought but the environment is excellent!it is also very confortable since u have a supermarket just opposite the hotel! my overall stay was good and i definally suggest it! if u can try the delicious pizza they make at the restaurant!!!!

Arkadaslar tek kelime ile muhtesem. malta da sadece uyumak icin otel kullanacak iseniz tavsiye ederim. digerlerine gidip daha yuksek ucret odeyecegime ben burayi sectim ve bingo... ozellikle asansoru cok guzel:) merkezi bir yerde ve calisanlar harika. altinda kucuk bir pizza dukkani var. kahvalti dahil gittigim halde bir kere olsun kahvalti edemedim ama etrafinda her turlu alternatif restoran ve cok yakininda buyuk bir supermarket var.odaniza ziyaretciniz gelir ise ucret almiyorlar. sitede yayinlanan ucretten baska ekstra hic bir sey odemedim. su an baska bir ulkeye gitmeyi planliyorum ve diger araci firmalari es gecip yine venere ile gidecek olmama en buyuk etkenlerden biri de budur. cunku digerlerinde cok fazla ekstra ucretler ile karsilasabiliniyor. ayrica malta da kisa tatil yapacaklara da siddetle ozellikle saint-julians i tavsiye ederim. casino sevdalilarina da soylemek istedigim tek sey, hayatimda ilk defa "yesil sifir" i dragonara casino da tutturdum ve tatil param cebimde geri dondum.. tum ictenligim ile tavsiye ve iyi seyahatlar herkeze.

Très bon hotel, bien placé, acceuil très sympathique, petit déjeuné copieux. La pizzeria située dans l'hotel est très bien. Seul problème qui n'est pas dû à l'hotel, mais aux coutumes locales des jeunes Maltais de venir faire la fête à Paceville uniquement le vendredi et samedi soir, d'ou beaucoup de bruit ces jours là.

L'albergo è carino e le persone sono gentilissime

Great place. Great people, very nica and friendly.

Davvero eccellente!i proprietari sono estremamente gentili e disponibili.L'albergo si trova in posizione ottimale,di fronte troverete un supermercato molto fornito,a cinque minuti il centro di paceville e il cuore della vita notturna!e soprattutto,al contrario della maggior parte delle altre strutture,è sufficientemente distante dai locali da permettere un sonno tranquillo.Forse l'unica carenza è l'assenza della piscina,ma il mare è a un passo.Ci siamo trovate davvero bene,e se vi è possibile richiedete la camera con il terrazzo,perchè non tutte lo possiedono.

I needed a base for a weekend visit to see family. What I actually got was a wonderful, small, family-run hotel that I will use again, long after the family has returned to the UK. I have passed the details on to family and friends who also intend visiting. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They were all friendly, polite and a credit to the owner, Anton. Excellent!!

The receptionists are very helpful and very kind. The rooms are spacious and clean. The hotel decoration is rather old but this is not a problem. The location is the best in Malta: In the Portomazo and just 2 mins walking from the most liveley place of the malta full of bars and discos (paceville). Rokna hotel is an excellent choice for quality vs. price.

C'est un bon hôtel, situé un peu en-dehors du quartier de la vie nocturne de Malte. Donc les soirs de weekend il y a beaucoup de bruits. Le personnel est très bien et la nourriture aussi. Un bon petit déjeuner complet. D'ailleurs on y retourne dans quelques jours.

Had a great holiday. familly run buisiness, owners could not have been more helpful and friendly. nothing was too much trouble for them. our thanks to anton and kate. first class restaurant if you did not want to eat out.

Older type hotel, outside renovated. only satisfactory room rating. staff friendliness make up for quality of rooms. room facilities satisfactory, tiny-tiny bathrooms, stained bed-covers.

For a very low fare we had a perfect room, nice breakfast and it was perfect located for us - close to resturang areas, shops and buses. Nice staff and a very well cleaned room.

The owners and the peronal were very very frindly; unfortunately the room was much "consumed" and not clean.

A lovely small hotel with friendly management and staff. Excellent Pizzeria Restaurant within the hotel. Ideal for staying in a quiet location only 5 ninutes walk from the liveliest part of the Island. Excellent value for money.
