3‐Star  

The Alexandra Palace Hotel is ideally situated within the heart of St. Julians. It has been undergoing refurbishment over the last year and has improved many of its facilities.

It is in a slightly quieter part of Paceville and has a small swimming pool on the roof and a larger one on the ground floor. Both can be covered during bad weather and open‐roofed during good weather.
Facilities include: 145 double rooms ‐ TV and telephone and air‐conditioning included in price. The use of a fridge or safe in the room is additional.

4‐Star

Although the Vivaldi is rated as a 4 star hotel, its superior class is nearer to the 5 star category and some of its services are at 5 star quality. It is located at the edge of the entertainment area and close to the sea. It is a 1 minutes walk away from an excellent private sea‐front lido, run by the Westin Hotel and open to public membership (costs approximately €9 per day) The rooftop promenade compensates somewhat for the lack of gardens at ground level since it has a restaurant, pool and sun‐deck. Vivaldi offers the choice of a superior hotel without having to pay the more expensive 5*prices.

5‐Star

One of the finest Hilton Hotels anywhere in the world ‐ this hotel needs no introduction.

It is located in a new complex of buildings which include a commercial centre, exclusive apartments and specialty restaurants.

Self‐Catering Residences

Being in shared apartments or houses is a great way to meet and mingle with fellow international students. It also gives the students an excellent opportunity to live on their own terms and cater for themselves.  

Future Focus can offer its own self‐catering residences which are situated in various locations in the Maltese Island (including Buġibba, Lija, Safi and B’Kara), as well as arrange for alternative residences depending on student preferences. All residences are well kept and fully equipped with cooking facilities, cutlery and utensils and also TV with cable, washing machine, linen and telephone for the use of occupiers.

Accommodation in a self‐catering residence is recommended for short stays. The prices are as follows:

€11 per day per student for the apartment ‐ sharing.  

Transport and food: €12 per day

Transport

The route public bus service plays a significant part in providing mobility within the Maltese Islands. In fact, route bus travel accounts for 24 per cent of all public and private transport journeys in Malta and Gozo. On average, around 38 to 40 million tickets are sold every year.
Local transport depends on where we are able to place the students. It is possible that the students have to take the bus to get to their placement which shouldn't be a problem since buses are fequent and cheap. (Ticket for one zone is €0.46 to €1.15)
