+ amazing seaview + new bulding with modern design, iluminated during the evening + friendly and helpfull staff, reception open 24/7 + really good cleaning services rendered every day + good king size beds, we litteraly could have played hide & seek game there + a bit monotonous but good quality breakfast + hotel has their own restaurant and serving drinks / dinner after 6pm

- swimming pool is located on the northen side of the hotel hence the sun is blocked by the building during most of the day. Due to that water inside the swimming pool is cold in end of the October - almost nobody was using it. It could be different if you want to stay there during the main season. - distance is around 2km and 25 minutes by walk along really busy street with narrow pavement. Direction hotel -> beach is easier to pass because you are walking downward but the opposite direction (beach->hotel) is more demanding as you have to go upward. Alternatively, you can use bus to go there - cost is 2 euro. Buses shuttles really often. The neareast bus stop is 5 minutes away from the hotel.

Room is clean and has almost all what you need for a short stay. Hotel is placed on the hill, thus, you enjoy amazing view on harbor and even on Gozo. Location: bus stop in 5 min walking. Buses go to Mellieha plage, ferry station and Valetta (and many other places, check google map). Breakfast has limited food choices but ok.

I was able to hear voices from other rooms Matress is a bit outdated No kettle in the room Not a minus but to consider: Malta uses British type of socket, if you travel from EU, you need an adapter.

Breathtaking view, very nice and helpful staff, good breakfast, clean and fancy pool - perfect for Instagram pictures, big and well equipped rooms and bathrooms, happy hours in the bar

The bed was big but the mattress was uncomfortable :(

I booked this hotel for a weekend with a good friend. Our requirements were: close to the water, nice view, and included breakfast. All of these boxes were ticked, and then some. The breakfast was quite simple but fresh and delicious, with hot (eggs, toast, beans, coffee, tea) and cold (pastries, yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice, milk) things. The rooms were really new, and the view was unbeatable—special mention for the balcony. Room had a mini fridge, and I was given hot water upon request for tea in my room. The staff was super friendly as well! And the price was just fantastic for the quality. Also, the lobby smelled DIVINE.. I definitely should have asked what they use!

Our room smelled a bit musty upon entering, but it went away each time we opened the door. The beds were a little bit hard for me and I think I could feel springs, but I slept well. The vanity was a tad small, but all of these are pretty nitpicky, and I would definitely return to this hotel!!

Modern, easy to locate, friendly staff

Uncomfortable beds, the breakfast had very limited selection and this is the first time I had terrible scrambled eggs at a 4 star hotel, cold, rubbery and unseasoned.

The view is the absolute best bit of this hotel, so it is worth paying a little extra for the sea view. We stayed in 401 and got a fantastic sunset view from our little balcony. Having said that there's lots to like, it was spotlessly clean and our room was a really good size with lots of light, staff were friendly. The location is pretty good, so long as you don't mind driving / taking a bus to the beach (you could walk, but it's a massive hill back up). Walking distance to some really nice bars and restaurants. The breakfast doesn't have tonnes of options but plenty to set you up for a day, and they also refill the buffet right up to the end time for breakfast. It's also in a quiet spot, so there's no noise at night, etc. Fridge in the room to keep a few provisions and working air con.

The bed was very firm but comfortable once I'd got used to it. No bath mat provided, but we just used one of the hand towels, so no big deal. There is no facility to make a hot drink in the room.

The location is very close to the bus station, around 5 minutes walk. The breakfast is delicious, varied, good coffee, amazing staff. The location provide free wi-fi, air conditioner was perfect for heating.

The hotel is newly refurbished (around 1 month) so pretty much brand new. The rooms are standard (but not at all unpleasant) with a modern finish and a brilliant view over Mellieha bay. The staff were very courteous and helpful, we made a few requests (to borrow an iron and to have our fridge checked as it wasn’t very cold) and they couldn’t do enough to help - all requests were dealt with really quickly and pleasantly. When we checked out they had even prepared us a pack of yoghurts and pastries to take as we were leaving before breakfast. We didn’t request this but it was a nice touch and shows how thoughtful and helpful the staff were. In terms of location the hotel was great for a couple - it’s less than 10 minutes walk to a lovely old church & courtyard that is at the bottom of the Main Street in Mellieha town with views over the bay. There are some good quality restaurants there (Commando, Villager) and further up the street some more options to eat, as well as a pharmacy, fruit & veg shop etc. There is also a bus stop here (Adenau- you can get the X1 direct from the airport to here, takes around one hour) that you can explore Malta from (we bussed it to Valetta and mdina from here in around an hour each). Down the hill from the church it’s a 10-15 minute walk to Mellieha bay beach which is has plenty of amenities (loungers to rent etc), crystal clear water that isn’t too deep and more restaurants (our favourite restaurant of all in the area was Amari which is down in the bay). The walk back up the hill takes a bit longer as it’s fairly steep so you may need to take a breather or two on the way - alternatively you can hop on a bus at the bottom (have a look at explore cards for the Malta bus network, good value if you are happy to travel by public transport and make short journeys like the one up the hill very cost effective!).

The only thing to be aware of is that as the hotel is new there is no kitchen installed yet which means that there is no cooked breakfast option. There is still juice, coffee, tea, fresh fruit (sliced melon, kiwi etc), pastries, toast and ham, cheese and tomato (continental options). We are vegetarian and the staff at the hotel were happy to prepare us a plate of cheese and tomato to go with our toast. It took a little bit of getting used to but by the end of the week we were enjoying the breakfast - particularly as it is served outside overlooking the bay, a fantastic place to start the day.

Great hotel with spectacular view. You could enjoy the view even from your bed!))) There is UK socket type, but you can ask for an adaptor with 5 Euro deposit. Room was spacious and cosy. We didn't use the pool, but it also has that fantastic view! As well as the restaurant where you can have breakfast or dinner. Very helpful staff. The transport system on Malta is good, there is a bus station in 5-7 min walk from the hotel. We also used Bolt taxi. It was the right choice to stay at Mellieha, all the best beaches are on the north of the island. There are several beaches nearby, Tuffieha is the best one!

poor choice for eggs at the breakfast

If you would like a stay with stunning views, then look no further. The hotel is in a very quiet location, yet close enough to the village centre on foot. The room was comfortable enough and had all the necessities, including a refrigerator. The staff are very welcoming, especially Kate, who is very quick to reply to messages and very accommodating. Looking forward to another stay at the Viu57.

The hotel has no parking, but cars can be parked close by up the hill.
