Find the Cheap Gzira Hotels

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.

They hotel location is perfect and the services are very good. They also offer the best food. Every facility is available.

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.

The hotel is relatively old, but it is in the first row by the sea. The room has a small balcony, facing the yacht marina. There is a small supermarket downstairs. You need to take the bus to the ancient city. The station is also downstairs. It is very convenient.

Cockroaches in the bathroom! The apartment block is located on an unattractive side street and ‘hotel’ is hard to find. The balcony is on the interior of the hotel, not large enough to sit on and only looks onto other balconies. The roof terrace is open during limited hours and the pool is dirty and small. Bathroom windows open into an interior shaft which leads to roof terrace, the smell of cigarettes blows into room. Only two plates, one glass and one mug were provided. After asking twice we were provided with two additional glasses. Toaster has a European plug and kettle has a U.K. plug. The TV does not move to allow you to watch TV from bed. The TV also doesn’t tune into anything. Lift is slow and doesn’t reach room terrace.

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
