Hotel San Andrea

Lovely hotel in a brilliant location. Sea view rooms have beautiful views and I think are worth the extra. Good restaurant and all the staff are so nice. I’ve stayed here before and will again. Easy bus trip or cheap taxi into Rabat and a few lovely walks by the bay.

Stayed here for three nights, lovely sea view from room. Staff very helpful, took advantage of happy hour and breakfast options were perfect for us. Rooms were made up daily, were clean and no complaints here. We were happy here during our short break in Gozo.

Set on Xlendi promenade, with views and gentle sounds of the Mediterranean Sea is this lovely hotel. We chose a room with sea view and sat on the balcony to read each evening and to watch the sun go down before dinner. The Zafiro restaurant is outstanding and we think it is very good value considering the amazing quality…what a great chef they have here! All of the staff were friendly and helpful and we couldn’t have had a nicer stay. Rooms are clean and practical and have TV, tea and coffee making facilities, en suite and hair dryer. I suggest you bring shampoo and a bar of soap unless you like liquid soap dispensers but I’m ‘old school’ and like my own products. Close by is a small but well stocked convenience store, fish bar, and a collection of small but pleasant bars and cafés. A cocktail bar is a short walk up the hill and is worth a pre dinner drink…but don’t forget to return here for an excellent meal. There’s a local bus nearby (2€) and the island tour buses stop here too just 50 yards away. Taxis are available and good value eg getting to the capital cost us 8€ (We used Bolt app for this). Gozo is a beautiful, gentle paced island and is well worth a visit. We were staying in Malta and came to this hotel for 5 nights, travelling from Valletta by fast ferry. (3€ Single).

Great location! Restaurant staff friendly and breakfast was good. The downsides are many……street noise unbearable and loud music playing from neighbouring restaurant until 1am did not help. There’s also construction works - the area is being totally spoiled by modern developments which are unsympathetic to such a wonderful environment. The hotel is tired and seems a bit unloved. There’s a rooftop terrace that isn’t promoted - with a little bit of investment could be a great amenity for hotel guests. The rooms need a facelift. Would only recommend for one or two nights.

Even though ours was a short stay, 11 December till 13 December, it was a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was very good and staff were very polite. In fact on checking out, I told the receptionist that this was the first time that we came but it would not be the last. They will definitely see us again. Judith Schembri

We saw this hotel and this bay for the first time in 2010. After 12 years we came back to the same place. a lot has changed ... too much ... new buildings, which in my opinion spoil the view... But the hotel is lovely, clean with friendly service. Good food in the hotel restaurant. Simple, tasty...like by mama....Very good white house wine!!!!!!

This hotel is surrounded by building sites and is next to a busy road with buses thundering by periodically. The view is pretty but the noise is unbearable. The room service is appalling and the cleaning chemicals they use are so unpleasantly pungent you're left with a faint feeling of nausea while you're in the room. Dreadful.

Just home from a weeks stay at the San Andrea. Hotel in Gozo , where we were made to feel like part of the family.. The breakfast was a banquet, We didn’t need to eat again until evening where we again dined in the restaurant, John , Alexandra, and Milan the staff we met could not do enough for us .. The local ladies who met every morning for coffee were like meeting our Mammys and shared all there local knowledge with us .. Excellent bus service on the island again with nice drivers more than willing to help/advise.. very relaxing week with total battery recharge. Jim/Mags

My wife and I returned to the England on 24th November following 14 nights at the San Andrea hotel in Xlendi, on the beautiful island of Gozo. The hotel is in a wonderful position on the small promenade, we chose a room with a sea view and were greatly impressed the moment we opened the door. We had two balconies, one with a view of the idyllic harbour and Xlendi bay. Although a little more maintenance would improve the rooms, it in no way detracted from the fantastic experience we had during our stay. The San Andrea is a family owned and operated three star hotel, and all of the staff from reception to restaurant are the most friendly and accommodating anyone could wish for. The three chefs provide the best quality meal's, whether it's breakfast or evening. The waiting on staff are simply wonderful, especially Milan, Jovan and the very sweet Alexandra. Going the extra mile comes so naturally to them. I would recommend this hotel to everyone, it's definitely an oasis of calm. Highly recommended, Keith and Dorothy.
