Where to stay in Sliema

Lovely cheap hotel right on Balluta bay! I did have an issue with my shower but it was fixed straight away, so great service!

I’m had a single room with balcony and sea view booked.  The location was great - Valetta a bus journey away as was Mdina and Rabat.  Bus service is excellent. The room was adequate for me.  However the noise from the road and downstairs bar was not good.  Glass doors ineffective for noise screening.had to buy earplugs.  Also the cleaning was sporadic and I had to ask everyday for my room to be cleaned...

Brilliant location close to amenities and beautiful views.

The hotel doesn't look like in the photos. All pictures should be updated. Rooms are very, very old stylish, should renovated.  Furniture should be replaced. The hotel is really good located, however if you don't have the most expensive rooms you don't have any view. Food was good however the same every day. It was more like English Breakfast.

The location was excellent and very convenient, and the rooms were comfortable and worth the price. The highlight of our stay was definitely the staff. Even though we checked in late at night, we received a very warm and friendly welcome from the front office staff member, Vishnu. He was polite, helpful, and explained everything clearly. He also shared useful tips about the area, which we really appreciated...

I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel during a business trip with my colleagues. The overall service was exceptional, and I would like to specifically commend the front office staffs, Vishnuraj and Keerthy. They were highly attentive, addressing all our queries with professionalism and a pleasant, welcoming smile, which significantly enhanced our stay.

The breakfast is good, location is convinient, the front desk has assist me to check in early. The problem is day time might hear the construction noise make u can't have good rest.

Great hotel in a great location. The rooftop pool is also nice. Breakfast is okay.

Xhoi and Georgia was very helpful, kind and serviceoriented. If i come back it Will be because of Their service. Thank you:)

7 steps to reach the hotel lobby but guy at the desk was nice and helped me with my bags. At 74, I cannot carry heavy bags up/down steps. As I was there for only 7 hours to catch a flight home, not the best judge but staff was very nice. Malta is a happening town, even at 3:30am and the hotel is well located.

Cost Effective Stay The breakfast options were good. The accommodations were ok, the bathroom grouting was poor causing minor leakage. The television service was very spotty.

Very nice and wonderful people

Excellent hotel with great facilties in the heart of Silema. Super roof top pool. Excellent breakfast. Helpful & friendly staff. Very nice room but it was a little dark plus air con & fridge didn't appear to function properly.

Great hotel in a good location Staff extremely helpful and provide a fabulous service Great rooftop pool and bar 2nd time staying here and we will be back

Classic Victorian-style hotel with a rich and varied breakfast, and spacious rooms. The staff were kind and helpful. However, our double bed had two single duvets pushed together; I would have preferred one large duvet. The bathroom also lacked a bidet. The location is a bit out of the way and uphill.

We had amazing stay in Ax the Victoria hotel. The room is big enough, hotel is incredibly clean and the location is nice. Everyone was so polite.

Everything was great,:service, location, pepole, food. The room is big, and clean, the stuff is friendly and at your service any time. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

I can only agree with the excellent reviews. Everything here is perfect. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and competent. The breakfast, rooms, and service are all top-notch.

Good Hotel, amazing staff, lovely!

Great stay overall! The receptionist who welcomed us was very helpful, and Romicado (hope I got the name right) did an excellent job keeping our room clean. The hotel is spotless, well-located, and close to everything you need. Highly recommended we’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay, fairly convenient location to access most places of interest, has an underground carpark free for guests. Only wishful for the hotel to provide self-service laundry.

The hotel was great. The rooms were clean and tidy, the service was excellent, and luggage storage was available. It's centrally located near the beach. The breakfast was fantastic and very generous. Rivalletta is also very close, a ten-minute taxi ride away. Cleanliness: Excellent

Hotel Valentina offers excellent value for the price, with a great balance between affordability and what you actually get. It’s located right in the heart of the city, which makes it incredibly convenient. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the housekeeping team is equally kind and attentive. A wonderful stay overall — highly recommended!

Great little hotel just off the beaten path in St.Julians. Very spacious rooms, clean and modern. Serves a good breakfast but no lunch or dinner service. Looks of lunch and dinner options nearby. Food scene in St.Julian’s is good. Great location. Will be back.

I stayed at 115 The Strand Hotel for one night during my visit to Sliema, and it turned out to be fantastic value for money. Even with a short stay, it left a really positive impression thanks to its location, views, and included extras. My room had a balcony overlooking the harbour, which was a real highlight. Sitting out and taking in the views across the water — especially in the evening — made...

Wow, cannot fault this hotel at all, perfect location, right near the beach with lots of food places. Slept really well as the mattress was absolutely perfect, so so comfortable and the shower, ooof just perfect to wind down after a long day.

The hotel's location is very convenient, the service is excellent, and my stay was very comfortable. The restaurant is on the 9th floor, offering beautiful views of the harbor and Valletta. The ferry terminal is about a 150-meter walk away, with a 1.50 euro transfer to Valletta and a 3-euro round-trip ferry ride, making it a very convenient option for exploring the city. Rates vary depending on the...

Review: 115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective Stayed: May 16–19 The location of the hotel is excellent — very convenient for getting around, and check-in was smooth. We stayed in Room 609, which was a standard room, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The room felt very small and the decor was dull and depressing. The bathroom was extremely tiny — even for two petite women, it was uncomfortable...

Nice hotel with nice room and fair breakfast with a gorgeous view.

Nice hotel, good staff, bed, pillow, location, clean and modern etc. We had two rooms with horrible view as they both were facing away from the ocean (the cheap rooms) There was no view. It was a wall 2m from our window. It is after all a window, and it provides daylight. Just don't look out. Other than that the hotel is great and with the added bonus of a 24/7 store in the entrance with snacks and...

Amazing stay, staff ! It’s super clean as well :)

Very clean place . Highly recommend

Our second stay at Urban Valley. We were allocated a very large suite and noticed a few missing touches as far as toiletries. Staff were very pleasant throughout.

This hotel was super clean, I originally booked a corner suite room for me and my mum , my husband joined our trip last minute and the receptionist accommodated a family suite which had 2 rooms with double beds, living area and kitchen on the day for extra cost but I was grateful they had offered a bigger room. Stuff are super friendly. Spa was great, you need to make booking in advance as they don...

an impressive experience! Thanks so much to Rose and Maggie for their kindness and help on everything, the room is very clean, people are very friendly and nice. Sunshine, dry grass smell, river bridge and pomegranate won’t be forgotten forever. A small suggestion is to add more kinds of food for breakfast Amazing! The whole family love it so much!

Hotel is fine. Location is central but not easily walkable — fine if you have a car. Rooms are somewhat basic but very spacious. Lovely pool. But WIFI is terrible. Door lock was a pain to open — had to keep playing around with the card a few times. Gym is a small room but useable.

Conveniently located at the center of st Julian, 5 mins walk to the bus stop. The room was spacious and comfortable for a solo traveler like me. Nice reception staffs! A early check in was allowed without extra fee. I also left my luggage for free until the evening on my checkout day.

I recommend this hotel if you stay more than two weeks in Malta The location is good, all staff are kind. But breakfast is normal. My friend also stay here for two months during study English here. This hotel is close from some language schools such as EC, EF..

Great hotel, but our room was right next to some centrifuge or where the washers are. Got woken up at 7am two consecutive days. :((

Wonderful experience and service. Amazing view from one of the suites.

Very pleased with the my stay at the hotel they ensure you have a pleasant stay and fulfil your needs.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, even though it was just for one night—I truly wished I could have stayed longer because of the warm and impressive welcome. I want to give a special shout-out to the front desk staff member with blonde hair. Her manners were exceptionally graceful, she was extremely helpful, and went out of her way to assist me in every way. I sincerely thank the hotel management...

A solid hotel situated in a very convenient area for getting around. The breakfast wasn’t the most diverse, but the food was tasty and well-prepared. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to stay, and I’d definitely recommend it for a trip to Malta.

I like this hotel, bc the rooms are clean with sea view balconies. The breakfast is delicious and you can choose from a huge Ranger of foods. The accomodation located in a good place. There is a bus and a ferry station nearby. Also they have a gym, pool and sauna which are also good oppurtunities in case of bad weather. Valletta is very close approx. 30 minutes.

Everything was wonderful. The room was spacious, with a direct sea view, and fully equipped. The breakfast was excellent, and the hotel's location is fantastic, easily accessible from there to most areas of Mata by bus. Most importantly, the reception and restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Very disappointed regarding the check in procedure, no plug near to the bed , I had to take off the kettle to charge my phone, no smart tv no rag in the floor. But the cleaner was ver good and kind. The breakfast buffet wasn’t good less options.

The hotel is of a high level. Clean rooms, nice staff. Receptionist Adarsh was really friendly and kind. We got a welcome drink in the lobby. Pool on the rooftop has a stunning view. Breakfast is very rich and different every day. We were really satisfied.

We had a great stay at the Diplomat Hotel in Malta.The staff were very friendly, attentive and always helpful. The rooms were clean and beautiful - I loved the amazing sea view The breakfast buffet was excellent – very tasty and with lots of different options every day. I really enjoyed my time at the hotel and would happily come back.

I had a wonderful stay. Special thanks to Maria Farrugia was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived, and the entire staff made everything easy and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices, and my room had a beautiful view that I loved waking up to. Excellent service — I’d happily stay here again.

The Staff were Excellent! Junu the housekeeper for my room kept the room so Clean and even agreed to late cleaning which I required daily. The Staff at Reception and the Breakfast team were Brilliant! She kindly came to my room and helped spray it after I found a Cockroach in the bathroom. Food was Nice at Breakfast with high quality bacon and sausage ! It was very noisy in my room until 04.00 with...

The place is right at the centre and accessible to where we want to be. Upon checking in, we were greeted with a warmth and cheerful smile-Minda. She ensures that our needs are met. Brief us with the basics as well as what we need to look for. We have to extend our stay as we love the place. At this point, we’ve had issues accessing our room. Shuvon came to the rescue and didn’t hesitate to help and...

I had a great stay at Holiday Inn Express Malta! The hotel offers one of the best value-for-money experiences in St. Julian’s. It’s perfectly located — just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, and public transport. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with everything I needed. Breakfast was delicious and had plenty of choices...

Great hotel in a prime location. We thought we would be able hear all noise outside but this is not the case. It is really well soundproof. The housekeeper is excellent at managing our room requirements. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful as well as the manager who has a lovely manner with the guests. I feel all staff have went above and beyond to make this a fantastic stay. It...

The hotel is located in the heart of Saint Julies city center, adjacent to bars and nightclubs. Loud music plays until 3am every night. Although the hotel has double-glazed soundproof windows, it still makes sleep difficult unless you're a night owl. It's advisable to find accommodation farther from the nightlife district if you're not. The hotel doesn't include a complimentary swimming pool. Access...

Great location and nice coffee shop with food always available. Rooms got great sea view and staff was friendly. Basic hotel that benefits from the location and good value for money.

This stay was for an early start at the airport and to be able to attend a concert the previous evening so it only needed to be clean and safe. Which it was. The corridor is not carpeted so there was some noise from wheelie luggage passing but ear plugs sorted that. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and the wifi worked. For the price I got exactly what I wanted so the outlook onto an internal...

The location is fantastic. You can see the Mediterranean Sea and tourists whenever you go out. The area around the restaurant and bar is bustling. Turn right and there's a flower shop a few dozen meters away. The hotel has a swimming pool on the eighth floor and a bar with a view of the city.

Great balcony view of the harbour that you can see the fireworks and old town. Super close to the ferry. Party music a bit loud next door but ok. Value of money for the stay in Malta, highly recommended.

Excellent location, small but nice room Acceptable breakfast

The staff tried hard to please but the hotel is not 4 star as advertised. The curtains were broken and had been broken for a while allowing the sun in. The airconditioning was noisy and not very efficient. The pool closed at 6.00pm in the middle of summer.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days in Valletta and the Embassy hotel was a highlight! Amazing service, amazing smell when you walk around!, staff were so helpful And friendly. Dinner at the rooftop restaurant was a great experience, and we looked forward to breakfast a view every morning. The products in the bathroom and the robes and slippers just gave extra luxury , and my husband used the gym every morning...

Good location in central area of valetta.. not far from bus station from airport

The room is spacious, well-structured, and decorated in a fresh and elegant style. The most important thing is that the rooftop view is first-class, facing the cathedral. Breakfast is served on the rooftop, and the view is also first-class if you have dinner on the rooftop. The front desk staff is very enthusiastic and thoughtful. It is the best choice for a hotel in Valletta

The hotel is in the center of the ancient town. The location is excellent. The rooms are beautifully designed. The service staff is enthusiastic. There is a beautiful swimming pool on the roof. The scenery outside is very beautiful. The night view is very beautiful

Sound from restaurants in Room 205

We had an incredible stay at the Embassy Hotel in Valletta, Malta. The service was exceptional—every need we had was met promptly by the friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. One of the highlights of our stay was spending peaceful days on the rooftop terrace and by the pool. Although it was sometimes tricky to find available sunbeds, we managed to snag a couple on a few lucky occasions...

This hotel is located in the Paceville area, so it attracts a lot of young people looking to party. This means they can be a bit noisy at times. The hotel has a rooftop pool. Our flight was very early, and we asked if they could prepare a breakfast to go for us, which they did. They were very kind and accommodating.

Great location and breakfast... unfortunately, there were four of us, and one bed was missing a pillow, sheets, and towels. Otherwise, it's a good hotel with a fantastic location... too bad the weather was bad and we couldn't use the rooftop pool! The staff were kind and helpful.

Location is easily accessible. I booked economy room and there is a window but could not open with no view. The design of the room is dark plus no window = depressed. I mean this is a matter if preference.

Wonderful location and easy to get to from the airport and other attractions. Breakfast was very nice. It was very noisy most of the time due to very light walls and poor noise protection.

I liked the hotel's perfect location.

Nothing to object to. The hotel and service were a perfect 10.

Great location, friendly staff, clean and tidy hotel. Comfortable bed.

The overall cleanliness and location were good, but the bathroom was leaking a ton of water. The bathroom floor was a sea of ​​water. The shower stall didn't seem to be properly waterproofed or finished.

Wonderful hotel great staff excellent location

I enjoy your breakfast I love it !! everything you ask you have it in Buffett thank you

Good location . Good breakfast and service. Staff very helpful

Overall very good experience. The room was much more than I expected for the price and it was very comfortable. The location is great, since the hotel looks towards the sea which is so pretty. Maybe the only downsides was that at times the breakfast area as well as the elevator were a bit crowded, but other than that all was perfect.

we were switched to the Gomerino a sister hotel. The hotel was in a grest location

The hotel is in walking range of everything interesting. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was awesome, especially the Eggs Benedict that everybody takes photos of, and for good reason. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Since our return flight was at midnight, they kindly stored our luggage after checkout and even arranged access to the pool shower so we could freshen...

Spacious clean room with large balcony and view. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Delicious breakfast buffet with made to order menu.

Perfect location, peaceful and a short walk to main street. Junior suit was beautiful with stunning city & ocean views looking towards Sliema. Small balcony but it was too cold for us to use. Excellent facilities - safe, hairdryer, coffee and tea, filtered water available. Breakfast offers good selection. We had an early flight and reception arranged for a breakfast box for us to take out - sandwich...

The location is really good as it is easy walking distance to everything. The staff were very friendly in the interactions I had with them. The room was well furnished with enough space and storage. Although on check in I had a hairdryer that had bare wires and no plug - this was rectified on request. I was disappointed the restaurant only opens for breakfast (not lunch and dinner as advertised) and...

Our room was spotless and a very good size. The breakfast was excellent and every member of staff was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend the hotel and would love to come back sometime.

I recehad the good fortune to stay at the Alexandra hotel in St Julians Malta. The bedroom was lovely and clean and the buffet breakfast was ideal for the low cost stay. Thr reception staff was so helpful and accommodating and made sure I was collected in good time for my departure. For a single traveller such as I it was in a handy spot to get buses to Sliema, Gozo ferry and Valetta. Thanks to Patrick...

After reading the reviews here, I almost cancelled my reservation, but I'm glad in the end I didn't! I thought the hotel was pretty ok for the price, with excellent breakfast, the room wasn't super modern, but it was nice and clean, nothing was broken, there hot water kettle, the balcony was nice, it was possible to see the sea. There is outdoor pool, lounge area, and indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna...

I do not fully get the negative reviews. Yes its not the perfectest hitel on the Planet, but for me personally it was very nice. Everytime i addressed anything with the staff, it got immediatelly resolved. Breakfast was very noce and great quality, probably one of the best Ive had come accross. Maybe ita dependent on the season, but i have had zero issues that are mentioned here. Yes, its in the city...

The rooms were ok for a 3 star hotel. The pool and sauna were working, the pool is small for the number of guests, but again, the hotel has 3 stars. The view from the roof of the hotel is phenomenal. They take a deposit of 150e so be prepared for that. We did not see anywhere on the website that it says about a deposit. The staff is ok, they change towels every day.

Decent Stay with Room for Improvement I recently stayed at this 3-star hotel and overall, it was a decent experience. The hotel has 7 floors and features a rooftop pool (unheated), which is a nice touch for warmer days. There's also a small indoor pool with a side jacuzzi on the -1 floor, along with a sauna that unfortunately wasn't working during my stay. The gym is also located on that level, but...

Good hotel if you’re just wanting somewhere close and easy to all the bars and clubs. We stayed for 5 nights. Our bedding was never changed and neither were our towels. We got pool towels but if we wanted fresh ones it was $2. Some staff were lovely and others were a bit rude and abrupt. Rooftop pool was freezing so never went in. The gym had the heating on so it was very sweaty and nowhere...

Excellent location, very friendly staff.The single room had no natural light , so is like a cave .It does say on web site, it has no window, but the reality was very claustrophobic. I only stayed the one night , so just used the room to sleep in.

Amazing location and friendly staff. The room is small but comfortable. It’s an old hotel that feels run down. The rooms feel dated and tired and the place has seen better days but it’s comfortable for a short stay. The main issue is the thin walls. You can hear everything from next door and the halls so definitely don’t stay here if you’re a light sleeper.

Good for solo travelers,  breakfast is good 

The condition of the rooms arent the best as in it doesnt look the cleanest but perhaps it is because the hotel is quite old/outdated, but it definitely does the job when you need a place to rest. The location is really great and the staff are super nice and helpful!

Great Location Easy Access to Everywhere Great Restaurants near by friendly and supportive staff

First time stay and we liked the location. A little dated but if the price is reasonable would stay again. Mike & Teena E.

A nice little hotel. Ultra clean, friendly staff, and relatively quieter than youd expect from the location. You will just need to bring shower gel, hand soap and whatever else as they dont provide them; and the garden would be quite nice if it was nicely cared for. If we were to come back to Paceville (probably wont) we would be happy to stay there again.

Based on the reviews, I didn't expect much, but the location is excellent, and the rooms and cleanliness are great too.

Honestly can’t fault this place. Very good location and I got a beautiful view as kindly requested from my room. The decor is a bit worn however but for the price you can’t complain. This is paceville so expect to hear music in the night but it was perfect for me as I was right next to the strip. Doors are locked at night for safety.

Read a lot of views about rude staff and this was not the case. I feel that staff are being rude to and that when you are respectful you are treated accordingly. We arrived early and our room wasn’t ready even by 2pm but by 2.30pm we was assigned another room that was bigger due to the wait. Cleaning staff and reception staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms are a bit dated but clean a few things...

Excellent reception, very comfortable, the structure is a bit dated.

Cheap price rooms. Hotel a little rusty but clean. Very close to the beach. And nice restaurants and bars really close.

Very outdated. Room not clean. Service is good

My only complaints are that there was only 1 electricity outlet in the entire room so we had to take turns charging our phones and there was also no sound proofing so as a result we would go to sleep very late and wake up very early from the noises. Also the room service people would come in our room without asking or after 1 knock and one time we happened to be inside when they opened the door with...

The breakfast service was very good, but the rooms didn't have towels or cleaning products. We requested a check-up and a remote control for the TV, but they never brought it to us.

Slow Poor Unreliable Wifi. I ended up using my Mobile Data. Weak Shower water pressure. Toilet bowl looks dirty it has yellow stains that cannot be removed. On the good side, Room is big enough. Close to bus stop going to the airport. Has kettle, small fridge, safety deposit and A/C. No soundproofing, can hear other guests’ noise. Elevator makes weird loud noises and can be heard inside the room...

The hotel is well-located, close to the sea and approximately a 4-minute walk to the beach. The room was only partially cleaned, and toiletries were completely missing. I requested face towels at the front desk, but they were never provided.

It’s been a rollercoaster with this hotel, and I was changing my mind about it a couple of times, but here’s the truth. The hotel is not 4 starts for sure, but for what this price can buy in high season in Malta it’s a very adequate deal. Don’t expect anything fancy or anything beyond the most basic amenities. The hotel is good for staying there to sleep, but not spending time there. Don’t bother...

I stayed in this hotel in February 2025 and I was very happy with the service. The room was basic, but clean and quiet - that's all I really need, and the bathroom was very modern and clean, with a decent shower. The night time receptionist was a very pleasant man who I enjoyed chatting to. He was due to attend a funeral in my home city of Cardiff a few weeks later - I helped him with regards to the...

Stayed here for a few nights, could have probably been worse. We found two thumb-sized cockroaches in our room and we didn't have any warm water coming out of the showers. Even though the breakfast was the same every day, it was good enough to start up your day. Location doesn't really matter on Malta, since everything is packed in pretty tightly. One morning the fire alarm was screaming at us for...

I stayed at this hotel in March 2023. Overall, it’s a solid place. The rooms are a bit older and the furniture didn’t leave the best impression, but everything was clean and functional. A big plus is that the hotel has a gym, which I really appreciated. The food was okay – breakfast wasn’t bad, but nothing special. The staff was excellent – very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. All in...

Stayed at allegro hotel from the 10th June to the 20th. Had the best experience in malta. The staff are very friendly and helpful had clean towels everyday even got more towels when needed which was great especially when going to the beach. And staying out in the heat. The breakfast was great something light which is what you need. Can't believe this is only a 3 star it should be atleast a 4

The Allegro Hotel is great value for money: excellent location, friendly staff, clean & reasonably-sized rooms. It's on a fairly quiet side street not far from bars & restaurants, & only about a 5 minute walk from a supermarket (Welbee's) if you cut through Pendergardens residential area. The bus stop that takes you to Valletta & the airport is across the road from the supermarket. There's a construction...

Breakfast is from 7:30 to 9:30 and is quite rich. The location is a few hundred meters from the bus stop from the airport on a slope, and it is very convenient for shopping and eating nearby. The room has a balcony
