Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Urban Valley Resort & Spa from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Urban Valley Resort & Spa is often praised for its spacious rooms and the advantage of having both a bathtub and a separate shower. Guests frequently highlight the appeal of the two large outdoor pools, and they find the breakfast delicious with plenty of choice. While some guests have noted occasional difficulties with the location for transportation, many appreciate the free parking and the convenience of the shuttle service to Valletta and Sliema. The availability of a smaller, heated indoor pool near the spa also stands out as a plus for many visitors.

the breakfast selection impressed me, it had many options. the reception staff handled everything with great care. i got upgraded to the emma penthouse suite and was stunned. i appreciated the extra space.
i found the indoor pool to be quite crowded, mostly due to many children diving, something that compromised the relaxing atmosphere i expected in a spa setting.

UNBELIEVABLE Stay!

lush greenerygreat stafffantastic foodinconsistent heating
I really enjoyed the greenery all around. Trees outside my room and by one of the pools. The staff service was REALLY good throughout the hotel. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Stefanie at the spa gave a wonderful massage!!! The food was AMAZING!!!
I wish the indoor pool was heated at all times. It was intermittently heated, made planning a swim difficult. I wanted a reliable option regardless of the weather outside.

The staff was friendly, i suppose. The location seemed okay.
The room i got was supposedly an upgrade, but it felt more like a downgrade. the bathroom was clearly designed for someone with mobility issues, not me. the shower design was terrible. Water went everywhere. i asked for a double bed and got two singles pushed together. not very excellent

The breakfast buffet had a top-class selection. I enjoyed it! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The shuttle bus to Valletta and Sliema was available multiple times daily, which I found convenient. The apartment was gorgeous and quiet!
Some external people entered during the weekend and were impolite. They were in the dining room and swimming pool, and some children even urinated in the pool. I reported it to the responsible person, but nothing happened.
