Sliema Marina Hotel

Lovely hotel.For a budget holiday, my room was perfect! Right next to the harbour for booking trips. My room was a bit stuffy but for a few quid more, there are other lovely rooms here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was your usual european buffet.The view of Valletta makes up for it though. Basic but enough choice. Oggi's, the cafe downstairs makes the most amazing chocolate croissants and other goodies, if you want a budget breakfast. Lunch is reasonable too. Local fresh fish everyday.

My first room was room103, this had an air conditioning fan from the restaraunt next door, very noisy, was assured it would turn off, 11.30 still going, to be fair offered another room (Double) at extra cost but at least it was quiet. Its a bit dated Some noisy residents later in the week. So was glad to leave, The staff were very helpful, apart from the night staff and room 103. I did suggest making 103 an office and moving the office, suspect that fell on deaf ears

The stay was very pleasant over New Years Eve. The location of the hotel in Sliema is excellent. Directly outside of the hotel you have multiple bus routes that take you to Valetta, Gozo or Mdina. You are also right outside the Ferry terminal from which you can take quick ferries to Valletta. The hotel itself may be a little hard to find as it's covered by the front seating gardens of restaurants. You have to watch out for the sign. The hotel reception is very small - however, the staff are very polite, helpful and always smiling. So are the remaining staff such as the cleaners. The hotel was also quite expensive for what it was - not sure whether it was to do that it was around New Years Eve. The room didn't have any windows - however, there was a disclaimer about this before (price probably depends on having a window) as not all rooms have windows. It was quite difficult waking up in a room without windows as it was constantly dark and you had to put the light on first thing in the morning. The room itself was ok, fairly small and cramped but clean with a decent bed and clean bed sheets and pillows, fresh towels and toiletries. Certain things could be improved such as the bathroom doors and the bathroom equipment could be spruced as it was quite dated but but overall was adequate. I would recommend this hotel if you want a very convenient location and if you are planning to spend most time outside the hotel

The staff were really helpful and nice and the location was great but my room smelled like cigarette smoke and really could use an update. Don’t pick the cheapest room. It is like a shoebox and there is a “window” into the alley. Also, the sound proofing was terrible and I could hear my neighbors every move which made sleeping difficult.

Very nice hotel on the sea front fab views didn't use the restaurant but on the whole good value for money. Will use them agsin
