Sliema Marina Hotel

The location is ideal. Right in the heart of the city. Places are accessible. The room was quite. I didn’t hear anything or anyone. The thing they can improve on is having mattress protectors for the beds. I thought I was a little gross to only have exposed mattress covered by a flimsy sheet.

This hotel was a very good choice.The position was ideal near buses ferries boat excursions supermarket and shops within walking distance.There is a long flat promenade with plenty of benches for resting.Buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice which changed each day. A bedroom facing the harbour is worth the extra money.There was quite a wait at times for the lift as only one was working.Staff were very helpful and pleasing.

One of my favourite hotels for value for money. Breakfast good, all the staff were friendly and helpful, perfect position for ferries to Valletta and buses to the airport and the rest of the island. Room was a bit dogearred in places and the room freshener was overpowering, but it was spacious and there were tea and coffee making facilities. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Winter rates, so very good value, single room was very small, but cost less than a pizza and a pint of beer. Good heating, good shower, clean tidy and basic. Local area is lively with shops restaurants and bars close by. Friendly staff.

We booked this hotel principally on the basis of price and location. Being 3 stars, it was much lower in price than other waterfront hotels in Sliema. The hotel reception is open 24/7 – well I guess it needs to be since you have to leave your key at Reception each time you leave the hotel. You are given an accompanying paper key card to take with you, since the actual key is quite bulky to take anywhere (even if you were allowed to). We were softly greeted by a nice elderly gentleman on arrival who kindly checked us in. Once you move away from the well-lit, modern looking reception, the hotel décor quick turns quite drab with very tired corridors, and paper thein brown doors with manual keylocks. Our rooms were quite spacious, but the beds were not really fit for anyone over the age of 15. The mattress was so low and wafer thin, it was almost non-existent. The bed frame creaked at every opportunity, and the pillows were in fact more like towels. The room also had a small (very small) tv on the wall in the corner, a safe which didn’t work and almost caused us to nearly miss our flight as it wouldn’t open when required – eventually someone from reception arrived to save the day and override the lock with the master key. The bathroom was adequate for our needs, and complementary toiletries were provided and replenished on most days. The shower pressure punched above its weight for this class of hotel and the water pressure was pleasantly strong.
