Saint Julian's is undoubtedly the beating heart of Malta . Between the lively Spinola Bay and the clubby Paceville district, you'll find the island's most popular accommodation destination. For us Israelis, it has a huge advantage: the Chabad of Malta is right here, with a kosher restaurant and a homely atmosphere.
Since I live in Malta, I've gotten to know every corner of St. Julian's. I've carefully selected only the hotels that will give you real value for your money, to avoid unnecessary "downfalls."

Hotel prices here are significantly more affordable than in Israel or France, so I will focus on 4 and 5 star hotels, where the Maltese standard truly shines. I have also prepared some 3 star gems for those looking for a comfortable budget without compromising on quality.

After you've booked a hotel, it's time to plan your trip. I've prepared a comprehensive guide to all the best attractions on the island.
Hello Zvi
Your request is important and convenient for the traveler. We are a couple of 60+ planning to arrive in Malta during the carnival. That is, the end of February. I would like to know the exact dates of the carnival because the various websites show different dates. I booked flight tickets from 25.2 to 3.3 2020. I hope I didn't miss the carnival.
We saw a Tulip Hotel (Vialdi) on the websites that seemed interesting to us. What do you think?
I would like to know if there are guided tours in Malta. Thanks Nurit
Hello Nurit,
Regarding the carnival: I no longer live in Malta (I returned to Israel very recently), so it's hard for me to tell you when it will be held beyond what is written on the various websites.
I am not familiar with the Tulip and Yoldi Hotel, so I cannot recommend or not recommend it.
Regarding guided tours in Malta, you can find some of them here:
