Antoniel Suites

Tile and marble floors run through every room at Antoniel Suites, a plain, cool surface against St Julian's heat. The building is modern, its interiors a mix of clean lines and Mediterranean touches, with balconies looking over the rooftops of Paceville. Rooms are compact. The Standard Double or Twin measures 20 m² and takes one or two guests, with air conditioning, a minibar and a tea and coffee tray as standard across the property. The Superior Suite steps up to 30 m², with two balconies and a small dining area, built for a longer stay rather than a night's stopover. A Family Room sleeps three, and an Accessible Single Bed Suite has a roll-in shower and wider doorways. The hotel sits on a quiet street a short walk from Balluta Bay Beach and Portomaso Marina, close enough to Paceville's restaurants and bars to reach on foot but set back from the noise. Guests get free access to a beach club 450 metres away, open from June to October. There is an outdoor pool on site, plus a shared kitchen and lounge for guests who prefer to cook or linger. Reception staff handle local advice on where to eat and what to see, a small but constant feature of guest reviews.
