This is the first time we've had an extended stay holiday. The hotel was classed as 4*. I would say it was more 3*. The staff were very friendly and were a credit to the hotel. We had a problem with the first room we were allocated, but we were offered, and accepted, another room, which was dark, but cosy.... More

The package we were on included an upgrade to a sea-view room with views across the harbour, sunrises ,some luxury yachts and Valletta cathedral dome . This was the best part of the hotel and if you could ignore traffic noise then it was worth it . The ground floor reception and restaurant has been recently renovated but the hotel... More

Our stay at the Kennedy Nova Hotel was fine - probably because, like previous reviewers we only used it as a place to sleep. The location is ideal for exploring Malta. Unfortunately we were in a room that was due for renovation so there were various parts that were very "tired" such as the bathroom. I agree with the reviewer... More

We went to Malta for a wedding in December 2011 and spent 5 nights at this hotel. The staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. The bedrooms were very small and for 2 of us there wasn't much room for maneuver. It was also quite chilly in the room as the heating/air conditioning was not working properly. Our... More

Friendly welcome on arrival. Reception, room and restaurant staff all very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Inner room, dark and quite depressing with very little natural light. Decor in bedroom tired but OK. Bathroom very poor. The bath at some stage had had new sealant around it with long 'snail trails' at both ends going into the bath (our friends room... More

We went to the Kennedy Nova for 4 nights from the day after boxing day until new years eve. We booked on a half board basis as we have not been to Malta before and were not sure whether anything would be open between the Christmas and New Year period. We arrived at 8.50 pm and Jackie, one of the... More

My girlfriend and I stayed her for 11 days during Christmas. The hotel was almost empty at first, but soon filled up with mostly older people in the 2 days before and after Christmas day. Service: Ok, nothing bad, nothing extraordinary. The receptionists were a little short and sour the first few days, but good overall. Value: Relatively cheap and... More

Had a self-catering room at the Kennedy Nova for a week. It was good value for money but would only rate it at 3*. The room was clean and tidy though perhaps a little tired. The most tired thing was the air-conditioning, which was completely ineffectual in early July, maybe always - we had to borrow a fan just so... More
