8/10 Very good

A nice hotel, in a very handy location
A really nice and affordable hotel in a handy area of Sliema. Letting myself in on the evening of my arrival was handy with a code for the main door and then another to get my key from a lockbox. My single room had enough space and wardrobe and nice sized bathroom. Reception staff was nice and friendly. It was helpful having a vending machine in the building for when I needed water at night after the nearby shops had closed. I stayed in November and the area was very quiet, even with the window open all I could hear was the occasional church bells in the distance. Two small issues I had was that there was some dried snot smeared on the wall by the bed when I arrived but I just wiped this off. Then on my last night I knelt on the end of my bed and the mattress fell through. It looks like some slats were missing so I reported this the next morning and the staff said they would look into it. Also be careful when walking around the hotel at night - there are automatic lights that come on when walking around but sometime you have to wave your arms around or walk down the opposite way you want to go in order for the sensor to detect you and turn on. But all in all it was a very nice stay.

The location was great for walking - a little less easy with a car. Close to bus routes. Our room and bathroom were pleasant and clean. There was a wonderful shared kitchen with great facilities. The elevator worked well. Locks were set up to make it easy to come and go as one pleased. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

This was an excellent guesthouse. Our room was huge and very nicely furnished, with a very comfy bed and great shower. The entire place is beautiful and grand. The guesthouse is also right by the waterfront. Check-in was very easy. Yaseer and the staff were very helpful and lovely. On top of this, the rate was really affordable. We couldn’t recommend The Maltese Sun more. Thanks for having us!

Perfect for the price, clean and comfortable
Highly recommend, very clean, comfortable and not too expensive! It was a last minute booking, checking in was easy, even though there was no one there at check in, we called and they gave us a code to enter and our room was available. Staff was very friendly, I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name working reception but very helpful, courteous and made us feel very welcome. Location is great as well!

10/10 Exceptional

A vintage hundred years old building, modernized in a way that suits all the needs of the guests. A great rooftop terrace, common kitchen area, wi-fi signal and an impressive authentic interior, feels like walking in a museum. Very friendly staff and a superb experience. Everything you need for a short or a long stay.

Nice classic small hotel, friendly staff, with good location close to the sea, but the room was noisy and the smell was not good, the air conditioner was not working well.
