3-Star Hotels in Sliema

After much deliberation for location and hotel for our stay in Malta we chose 'The Regency Plaza, Sliema*' and after a fantastic week here we know that we chose well. Very happy with the hotel from the reception - happy to help with anything and everything, baggage storage (until our room was ready), our room, the bed, the view, the pool (outdoor one is blooming cold but who cares!), the breakfast choice to most importantly, location! It's important to know that *Sliema is massive and where the ferries go from. This hotel is quite a distance from there (although easily walkable) and is actually situated in Exiles Bay (Bus stop is actually Antik - right outside the hotel) a much quieter and prettier area. We were put on the 5th floor and were so glad as the views were superb and also the outside noise isn't as intense, but the sliding door to the balcony is very effective at cutting out the noise anyway. I loved to sit and watch the world go by early morning and evening - people jogging, walking, taking dogs for a walk or the may electric scooters whizzing by. We had no trouble sleeping nor did we hear any other noise (like music or road traffic etc). There are a couple of nice bars/restaurants opposite the hotel and directly out of the hotel entrances (yes, there are two receptions and entrances) is a pizza place (which you walk through to get in) and a Costa Coffee shop. Our room was a reasonable size and had all the amenities we needed - safe, hairdryer, plenty storage, a nice shower (but you do have to pay extra for coffee making facilities) but the toilet took forever to re-fill after a flush - a tad annoying but nothing I'd really moan about. The shower had some marks on the grouting but overall the room was very clean and the maids came everyday. Bed was comfortable and blackout curtains ensured a good nights sleep. Breakfast was a very, very typical European hotel offering. Cooked sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes etc. Plenty choice of break, fruit, meats and cheese. Lovely fresh cooked warm croissants with a choice of jams, chocolate sauce and more. Coffee and juice via machines and waitresses very efficently cleaning up after you as soon as you are done, so no clutter of plates on tables etc. As mention, the top floor swimming pool was excellent but really cold. We found this both bracing and refreshing on the warmer days, plenty of sunloungers, a pool bar and mutliple level seating (as there are two sides to the hotel, you can cross over). We got a 7 day bus travel card for €21 each and we used them to death as it is so simple to get anywhere on the island by bus. They are clean, frequent and convenient. The bus stops are right outside the hotel for either direction. They can get full during 'rush hours' but that's always part of the charm of travel by bus we find! The location of the hotel we found was perfect, not only for bus/ferry travel but for bars and restaurants and even swimming. There is a wide pedestrian boulevard that

A central hotel with stunning views overlooking the seafront of Sliema, Valletta to the left, and the busy promenade. We praise the cleaners who kept the rooms spotless and were helpful when we asked for extra pillows and towels. Our room was cleaned around 14.00. The reception staff was always smiling, and check-in was efficient. We e-mailed the hotel a week before our arrival to confirm the booking; just a precaution to avoid any mishaps upon arrival. There were plenty of breakfast choices, including cooked and cold cuts, yogurts, pastries, four types of juices (machine), and a selection of beverages (machine). The breakfast area was on the eighth floor, the perfect setting for starting the day. People were taking selfies and loving it! The manager seemed to work around the clock; he was present during breakfast, clearing tables and supervising the staff. The hotel is slightly dated but clean. One of the lifts had issues one day, and the other was slow, but we had no trouble taking the stairs—free exercise. There is a restaurant on the premises on the ground floor. We did not try it, but the staff always greeted us friendly as we passed on our way in or out. There is a mini fridge in the room. Two bottles of water were waiting for us upon arrival, and there was a kettle with a selection of coffee and black tea. The kettle was nice and clean inside. We enjoyed the view from the balcony and were lucky to see the fireworks show from Valletta. Thank you, Marina Hotel. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a clean and central hotel in Sliema.

The center of St. Julian's from Sliema was so comfortable to visit, it was a great view to the sea with a small balcony in the room! The staff are also very friendly and check out the missing items, so we will contact you right away.

Dear team of the Maltese Sun, Your hospitality and service is absolutely fantastic. Instandly you feel at ease in this beautiful charactaristic Maltese house.

Our stay at your guesthouse attributed to a lot in a very positive way to our vistit to Malta. Thank you so much! We defenitely stay again at the Maltese Sun when visting Malta!

This hotel is ideally situated in Sliema. Not on the main boulevard, which means not as much traffic/noise, but a mere 2 minute walk to get to the hussle and bussle of the boulevard. Our room was on the 6th floor at the back of the hotel, which meant it was super quiet (only a church bell could be heard). Large room with extra pullout chair. Safe and little fridge available which were a welcome bonus. Bathroom large as well. Unfortunately, it did get quite hot in the bathroom because there was no window which we could open. The aircon in the room did help a little, but only when the door of the bathroom was left open. One of the twin beds had some issues with springs sticking out. This made for uncomfortable sleeping. The other bed creaked, making a lot of noise. This was mentioned to the front desk and dealt with promptly. Room otherwise fine and clean. Breakfast was fine. Lots of sweets, but also bread, croissants, fruit (salad), scrambled egg, sausage, bacon, cereals, yoghurt and more. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall we really liked this hotel for many reasons. We would definitely choose Mr Todd again if we went to Malta.

Sliema Hotel is in a very good location, staff is super friendly and helpful. And that's all ;) room was dirty, there was a mold on the shower curtain and a huge hole above the bathtub. We could hear all noises (even working elevator!). But the biggest surprise was with the pool. Because there is no pool in the hotel, although you can see it on the photos. To access the pool from the photos you have to cross the road and walk few hundred meters.

Nous avons passé 6 nuits dans cette hôtel, et ces nuits n’ont pas été forcément reposante. Pour commencer, nous avons eu une chambre au premier étage. La fenêtre donnait sur une très petite « cour » et disons que la luminosité était comme inexistante (voir la photo, pour information la photo a été prise à 10h30 du matin). Ensuite, nous avons demandé a changé de chambre car toute la nuit nous avions un bruit incessant venant du tableau électrique et une climatisation qui s’allumait toute seule en plein milieu de la nuit, faisant au passage énormément de bruit. Pour les 5 nuits restantes nous avons eu une chambre au 4e étage.. et cette fois on avait la lumière. Quel bonheur d’avoir de la lumière naturel le matin ! Mais le repos n’a pas ete mieux. Pour commencer (et c’est le cas dans toute les chambres), à chaque fois que la lumière de la salle de bain est allumé la vmc se met en marche (et le bruit qui va avec), en soit c’est pas un problème, sauf que l’isolation très médiocre de l’hôtel fait qu’on entend même la vmc des voisins. Quand nos voisins rentrent à 5h du matin et prenne une douche, on entend aussi bien la ventilation que la douche.. Enfin l’isolation de la chambre, parlons-en, on entend les gens marcher dans le couloir, parler dans leur chambre et, pompons sur la Garonne, on entend même le robot de la piscine laver à 7h15 du matin !! Seuls points positifs, l’emplacement de l’hôtel qui se situe dans un quartier central et le personnel qui est très serviable mais ces points ne compensent pas le reste. En bref si vous chercher un hôtel pour faire le tour de Malte et vous reposer après de bonnes journée dans de magnifiques lieux, passer votre chemin

The hotel is very run down and filthy. It needs a major refurb. The lift didn’t work and you have to climb stairs just to get to reception. The bathroom was disgusting with a very small shower tray that a small child would struggle to stand in with a mouldy shower curtain, the shower leaked all over the floor when you used it. The bathroom door hit the toilet when you opened it. You’d have to go in side ways. The beds were really uncomfortable and didn’t feel clean and fresh facilities were very basic. The air con and fridge were really noisy all night. No breakfast or drinks etc available at all. Balcony’s join up with neighbouring rooms so, no privacy whatsoever and a real security concern, the doors to our room were also flimsy and temperamental to lock. The worst bit was the noise! Every single night there was shouting, screaming and running up and down the stairs. I was woken up constantly. There is a receptionist on 24/7 so, you’d think they would ensure people were quieter. I’m all up for a good time but, this was just taking the mick. It was relentless. One night about 4am someone opened our door and came into our room! I was petrified. Luckily I was already awake because of all the noise in the corridors. Whoever it was just walked out again when I jumped out of bed. Followed by, every single morning hotel staff / house keeping would be really loud and wake everyone up. You could hear word for word conversations. constant loud voices and banging around. The worst place ive ever stayed. I’ve come home absolutely exhausted.

The location boasted proximity to the coast, shops, and restaurants. However, the room itself presented numerous issues: 1. Despite attempts to invite natural light, the room remained excessively dark due to taped or covered windows, offering only a shaft-view. This created a nearly pitch-black atmosphere, accompanied by disruptive sounds such as water dripping from the air conditioning unit or clicking noises. 2. Persistent clicking noises persisted both with the window open and closed, significantly disrupting sleep. 3. The room did not align with the amenities depicted in online photos, such as a missing table and chairs, leading to a sense of false advertising. Additionally, there was no mention of the shaft-view or the lack of natural light. 4. Cleanliness was lacking, with visible stains on the sink and bathroom wall, leaving an unpleasant odor. 5. Despite promises of Wi-Fi, it only functioned on the first day, causing inconvenience despite efforts by the receptionist to rectify the issue. 6. A displeasing odor upon entry suggested inadequate ventilation or cleanliness standards. 7. The room featured worn-down furnishings, reflecting a lack of investment in maintaining a comfortable environment, contributing to an overall disappointing and depressing ambiance. 8. Difficulty in regulating the water temperature in the shower added further discomfort, swinging between cold and scalding hot. 9. The lack of a duvet and provision of only a thin sheet offered inadequate protection during winter months. 10. Requests to change rooms proved futile, as alternatives offered were disappointingly similar, indicating persistent issues with standard accommodations. 11. The hotel staff's refusal to provide a stay invoice and redirecting responsibility to the booking platform added unnecessary frustration, reflecting a disappointing level of customer service. Ultimately, the hotel's refusal to provide compensation or accept responsibility led to the guest checking out early, resulting in the loss of money and the need to book alternative accommodations.

I only stayed at Amery House for 2 nights, and I honestly wish I could have stayed longer. I gave them a high mark, as I usually do when I stay somewhere, but on this occasion, I really mean it. Foremost amongst my memories was Reception, for some reason: Salvatori checked me in without fuss, after arriving at midnight, and three very pretty girlies from Greece, Kenya, etc, handled things during the day. All four of them exuded an air of unflappable competence, and made a big impression. Breakfast, too, was a memorable experience, and highly recommended. My room was just fine. No problems. I have been to Sliema many times, but even though I hadn't been to Amery House before, I'll certainly be back. Paul
