Solana Hotel & Spa

Nice hotel

Gym 4/5 - with smith machine, cables and dumbbells can do a pretty good workout. Sauna 4/5 - free to use, clean, perhaps could be more humid though. Need to pay €5 + €10 deposit for use of bath robes. Breakfast 4/5 - excellent, but could have more local variety. Beach - Mellieha beach is within walking distance

I really enjoyed my stay. Friendly staff, spacious and attractive lobby, two swimming pools on the roof, and spa on the -1 floor. The breakfast I tried was definitely worth my 5-star rating as I could a large variety meals offered. My room was clean and comfy to stay for even a quite long stay. I do recommend this nice hotel and look forward to staying here soon.

The breakfast is full of pork no other option like chicken sausage

Rooftop pool is amazing. Service very friendly. Room provides enough space for two friends

An enjoyable weekend break at Solana. The place is well positioned in the center of Mellieha to explore the town, v. nice view from the rooftop (attached a pic) that they also highlight as instagram-worthy. I rated the location 4/5 because of the relatively minor difficulty to find close-by parking as you need to be careful due to limited hours, but I learnt after that the hotel offers limited parking spots against payment. Cleanliness and service both rated an excellent 5/5. The facilities were good, again they didn't merit a 5/5 only because of a couple of small issues: you can experience a relatively long wait for the 2 lifts (used by guests and staff) at peak times since the hotel consists of two connected buildings, the gym needs a spruce-up as the multi-use machine needs a good oiling and the treadmill's arm cushions easily came unstuck, and the rooftop pool water was slightly murky on Sat afternoon and Sun morning. Other than our studio apartment was a comfortable fit for a family of 4, that included a well-equipped kitchenette that we used on the second night when the kids fancied an evening in after a long day. And nice to see once again the old-school complimentary sewing needle and thread, as well as a good sized bathtub. Tea and coffee freebies were present in abundance in the room. Breakfast was delicious and they certainly got the bacon, sausages, eggs, pastry and yogurt right. All in all, a well-priced worthy consideration if you're staying in Mellieha.
