Wearrived late at night and were immediately asked to pay the full amount for the stay even though we had paid a 50% deposit. The room was smoke filled even though we sked for a no smoking room. In the morning there was no hot water and we were told taht yo had to press a switch and wait 20 minutes. One of the light switces was broken and the switch actually fell apart leaving it in a dangerous situation. The brakfast which was included was ordinary. The building is tired and the staff unpleasant. We decided to move and were told the depsoit would be forfeited. When complaining about the non smoking we were told taht the ash tray may have belonged to a former visitor but the maid said that they were always in the room. When showing the manager the broken switch he suggested we may have done that. The only saving grace for this hotel is the view to Valetta but is that worth the poor accomodation. We thought not and moved to the Preluma which yes costs more but is nice and has a viiew of teh entrance to the harbour.

Rotten hotel, and the cafe is a joke. Looks nice from the outside, but the coffee is the worst on the island and the fridge rattles like a box of nails. The fridge on the right as soon as you walk in is filled with half drunk bottles of soda. To boot, I was asked by the hotel manager not to plug a laptop into the power. The first time in 10 years of plugging in at cafes. Its an Apple Air, for goodness sakes. Short minded management with little regard for customer service.

Stayed at Sliema Hotel from the 8th June until the 12th this is a good hotel, great location and lovely views from the room, even the rooms have a fridge, the rooms are big and they are cleaned and new towels daily, we booked B&B 45 euro's a night which was good, breakfast was very basic but met our requiremnts only thing is the orange juice is watered down and tastes horrible if like me you don;t drink tea/coffee then take down your own water.


The staff are lovely the owner Philip if very nice and also his son Gordon, would stay here again and will recommned to our friends.

I stayed for two nights and then decided to cancel my future stay with them (3 days notice). They refused to return the any money. Will NEVER ever stay with them!
Rooms smelled with cigarettes, bath was dirty, towels small and thin. The blanket wasn't washed since it was new. The carpet wasn't hoovered neither. Internet connection was so slow. The same goes for a group of over 50 people, who stayed at the same hotel.

Add to this: no hand towel, no AC, no TV. Pay 2EUR for iron or hairdryer.

DON'T use it!
