Apartments in Gzira

The location is very good, right in Sliema. If you book a sea view room, you will be facing the beautiful sea directly. The room is also very big. The breakfast is also good. The price/performance ratio is good. There are many restaurants, bars and supermarkets around. It is very comfortable to walk on the seaside trail at night. This is my second stay. The deluxe sea view room I booked was changed to a side sea view room when I checked in. Because I took photos of the sea view room when I stayed for the first time, I changed to a sea view room after negotiation. So it was a little unpleasant, but it was finally resolved

The location is convenient with restaurants and plenty of buses nearby but it's also a quite poor and ugly neigbourhood. It seems to be in the process of being gentrified with lot's of construction in the quarter but there are also many abandoned and broken buildings around. Generally it feels a bit sketchy. The Hotel itself is a new construction, designed well and very clean. My biggest complaint however is the service and staff. Unfortunately I was given one of the worst rooms, where the balcony was facing a wall, so there was almost no daylight in the room. When enquiring if a room change is possible, the receptionist blantly lied to my face and said they were fully booked. When I checked online for the same dates and room category, there was still plenty available, even in higher categories. So instead of trying to upsell me or finding another solution to satisfy me as a customer, they treated me like cattle.

We thought we would pay the extra and treat ourselves to a suite, based on the hotel website photos which show a sofa, chairs and coffee table. We were pretty disappointed with the room we were allocated. Although the room was large, the suite I was expecting only had a chair, footstool and a large round something! The view from the balcony was restricted as our room was at the side of the hotel and we overlooked the hotel outside bar rather than having a full sea view. It rained heavily on our first full day and it would have been nice to not have to sit on the bed while passing the time. I requested a room change, even to be downgraded but was told that the hotel was fully booked and nothing could be done. I had already checked the hotel website and various booking agencies which all showed availability. I met a manager later in the week, in the lift, who was shocked when I gave a negative to the question about enjoying my room. I got the usual response that they could have done something if only they had known. By then, our stay was almost over and I suggest that the front desk staff are trained to look for solutions rather than to just ignore requests. The room (suite) overall looked a little tired with lots of marks on the walls and the air conditioning was so loud that I had to wear earplugs in order to sleep. There was plenty of storage and a coffee machine but no folder with general hotel info. We therefore took a couple of attempts before successfully operating the coffee machine and failed miserably to quieten down the aircon. The bathroom had a shower, no bath but the water was hot when required. There was however, no space to put anything such as a toiletry bag. Breakfast was a bit haphazard in that food items were not replenished at times. Coffee could be made to order as well as omelettes, poached eggs etc but if you requested the orange juice dispenser be refilled or asked for a teaspoon, you were left waiting a while. I got the impression that the staff were trying to look busy rather than being well managed. The location of the hotel is ideal for bars and restaurants but not if you want a quiet area. The bus service around the island is pretty good and the water taxi to Valletta excellent.

It is said to be an executive suite, which is no different from an ordinary economy room. The window does not have a sea view. It faces a small alley and has no view. The location is okay. The breakfast service staff feels a bit discriminatory against yellow people. Every white person asked if they wanted coffee. We I stayed for three days and had breakfast for three days. I always asked for coffee by myself.

Great location, well appointed room with aircon as part of the price. The staff were very friendly. Shampoo and body wash and hairdryer in the room. I thought we were supposed to have fridge in the room which is the only thing it need. Free ticket to the Aqualuna beach club was fabulous and made for a great weekend away. Amazingly comfortable bed and pillows so slept well. The transfer from the airport was 30mins so if you want a getaway for the weekend it is perfect. Good and drink at the aqualuna was delicious and a reasonable cost.

Starting with the pros: - Location is great, near the seafront and ***** of restaurants and cafes that is super convenient - Not too far from the main town in Valetta - Clean and chic interior -Accessible for Ubers/Bolts/Taxis Now the cons: - The hotel does not provide water. No bottled water. None stocked in the fridge on arrival (the fridge was totally EMPTY) and they do not provide ANY bottled water whatsoever - even if you offer to pay for it/put it on your tab. I was told to go to the supermarket instead so made a trip around midnight to carry this back to the hotel, which is pretty shoddy service. The phrase ‘please let us know if you need anything’ was lost on me and the hotel really didn’t seem to have basic services. - The teacups in our room were never replaced with clean ones, in fact they were never even rinsed/washed and my friend and I would return at the end of the day to dirty cups sitting in the room. - The pool area is nice enough but there is very little shade. The parasols were completely inadequate and there was no staff to help you situate this properly. - Iced coffee provided at the pool but no syrup. FYI - sugar from sachets does not dissolve in cold drinks so be prepared to taste granules. - The restaurant does not open for lunch or dinner, just breakfast - Only one hook in the bathroom next to the toilet, so you can’t hang your towel after a shower - Not enough towels provided

Nice apartment , location was good , short walk to the ferry across to Valletta. Reception staff at Bay View hotel were helpful. Lift was quite small and cramped so walked the stairs as never saw anyone else in the apartments. The pool and jacuzzi at Bay View was small but okay, we used Aqualuna just across the road., collecting voucher daily from hotel.Not really a swimming pool more a sunbathing area with a pool to cool off in. Pool area got very busy and people were crammed in, we used the loungers on the upper deck which were much better. Balcony at apartment was quite small , with not particularly comfortable chairs. Wifi could be temperamental but on the whole was okay. We had two bedroomed apartment , had plenty of room. A FewTv channels, could also sign in to Amazon and Netflix if have accounts. Negatives were cracked floor tiles and sink in bathroom was very poorly attached and finished off. Being on main road it was quite noisy, especially motorbikes roaring down the road late at night, but also meant on balcony always something to look at, and the harbour aswell. Short walk along front to main part of Sliema for restaurants or ferry into Valletta.

Stayed for a wedding. Met new friends from the wedding. Easy access to bay walk, shops, mall. You do hear the character of the area while in the room, but it’s a unique experience. I was told the rooms up higher get hot, but my first floor room had good temperature. The White Horse Pub is down the street for a nightcap. The bus is in between both. Grab app works too. Breakfast is good. Was able to attend Karnival ta Malta with easy transportation along with other sites in Valletta. Secure entry system allowed 24 hours to access. Some construction, but Malta is building and renovating. Best value since there are many sights to see nearby. Safe and Friendly.

Very good location, clean well equipped . Modern with everything you need to have
