There's a lot to like about the Kennedy Nova. It's conveniently located in Sliema, surrounded by many wonderful restaurants. It's located directly across the road from the sea, so the view is stellar. It's just a short walk to the Sliema-Valletta ferry for your eventual trip there. The room we had was comfortable, though not overly large. Unexpectedly, there was a breakfast buffet that was well-appointed and quite tasty. The staff was quite friendly and allowed us to securely store our luggage before we could officially check in, but also in the period after we had checked out but weren't ready to go to the airport. Pickups for ridesharing or taxis are easy, and there's a bus stop nearby as well. The only mild complaints were that the air conditioner in the room struggled a bit to keep things cool and while the water pressure in the shower was adequate, it wasn't great. Those things are definitely not enough to overwhelm a wonderful stay.

We rented 3 rooms in in 2 of those the AC was not working. Also the shower tab was not useful, was not working. Staf was not of much help either. So that is the reason for 21/2 stars

The first thing I will say is that the staff are WONDERFUL! They went out of their way to be helpful. My wife tripped in Mdina and hurt her knee badly (no bones broken!) when we got back to the hotel, she was limping badly, and the staff made an ice bag to help the swelling and booked a taxi so we could get to the hospital to have it checked. The next day all those involved asked how she was doing whenever they saw her, and offered to get more ice or anything she needed. Thank you, Guys! The rooms and the public areas were all clean and tidy. No fault there, but the hair dryer in the room did not work, and we were told none of the hair dryers work, because they are a fire risk, so had been disconnected. So ladies, if you stay here take your own dryer, because the manager refused to supply one, even though it is advertised as being supplied. The other problem was the air conditioning. It works, and is sufficient to keep you cool at night, but not strong enough for the June heat during the day. I'd hate to think what it's like in August. We could not stay in the room during the day. Breakfast was normally okay. We paid for it up front. However, the juice was a poor watered-down concentrate. The cooked breakfast was okay, although on the last day, they replaced the hash browns with chips! Really? Chips for breakfast is a red line, and they were cold! To be honest, if it hadn't been for the wonderful staff, my rating would be lower. I doubt very much that we will stay again.

I had a very bad time while at this hotel since the very beggining. We arrived at the same time as a large group of people that apparently got booked due to a special reason (not sure if it was due to a cancelled flight or something similar) but they were also offered dinner. I explicitely told the receptionist we were not with them and he rushed us to eat, I though maybe it was part of the rate and also asked if dinner was free to which he responded yes. We went to eat and I again told another person me and my father were not part of the group he was including us into, he then went to talk to the receptionist who came to us again upset like the mistake was ours, I reminded him I told him we were not with that group and he still sent us to eat. I was charged 25 euros per meal for a less than a decent dinner, so a total of 50 euros for a mistake the receptionist made despite me telling him multiple times we were not with that group and making sure dinner was free. This person was very rude since we all arrived, I asked to speak to his manager but he did not want to give me a number or anything, just because I am brown, he assumed instantly I was part of another brown skin people's group and immediately treated rude. I do not recommend this place under any circumstance, the rooms are super small and outdated, the elevator broke multiple times and we had to use the stairs to go all the way up to 6th floor carrying our heavy luggage.

The hotel is on the Sliema seafront. Parking in the area is very limited so arrive by bus or taxi. Check in was easy. The receptionist on 2nd May in the evening was polite and friendly. The room was quite small, no balcony. The air conditioner wasn't working. It was set to 16c and high speed but it wasn't blowing cold air. There wasn't coffee, tea or bottle water. This is something I'd expect im a 4 star hotel. The bathroom was clean, the shower head fixed and quite low down. I'm not particularly tall but had to stoop to get under it. There was a lot of noise at night from other guests. The hotel staff did deal with it Breakfast wasn't great. Almost everything that's supposed to be hot wasn't. The coffee was ok. The hotel is ok but I can't really recommend it. There are better options in Malta for the same money

The stay was okay overall, but there are several areas that need improvement, especially considering comfort and facilities. Breakfast: The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, which is a nice inclusion. However, the selection was exactly the same every day, which became repetitive after a short stay. Staff: The staff were a highlight of the experience. They were nice, approachable, and always willing to help when needed. Room: We booked a room with four single beds, and it was adequate in terms of space. However, the room felt quite outdated and could benefit from renovation. Bathroom The bathroom was disappointing. The toilet had visible cracks, and overall the fixtures and features felt old and worn. On a positive note, basic amenities like shampoo, soap, and a shower cap were provided. Air Conditioning: This was the worst part of the stay. The air conditioning was not working properly and was blowing hot air even when set to cool or fan mode. When we asked staff to check it, we were told this is how it works due to the hot air outside, which was not a satisfactory explanation. Wardrobe: The wardrobe was old and had an unpleasant smell, so we chose not to use it at all. Ventilation & Surroundings: We had to keep the windows and balcony door open to get some fresh air, but this created other issues. There was a smoking area directly below, so we often had to close them again. Additionally, flies would come into the room, making it uncomfortable.

Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.

The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.

Overall a good experience and so much credit must go to the gentleman managing the bar when a group of Turkish teens decided to do bombing in the pool when a lady and her young son were enjoying some peace and time together ( they left very upset ) but the manager of the bar dealt with them quick - also dealt with the youths playing football in the hall very quick . It’s hard to deal with these type of people and they can book anywhere but respect to them all for dealing with them very quick . The bed in 208 is extremely noisy ! Soundproofing on the toilet would be a bonus !. Breakfast was good but sadly the people around me were not - lady telling people loudly about her dogs access popping while I’m eating was not nice and I never went back as I would have gave her a mouth full of abuse - ( vile woman) No complaints about the Hotel , very clean very good to everything . I nearly cancelled due to reading the reviews - but glad I did not - very happy with my stay and the way they deal very prompt with scumbags ! . Cleaners are SUPERB , can’t fault any of the staff at all . Go ahead and book with confidence . I will book again next year - rooftop bar is great with small bats flying around the front of the hotel and everywhere in Malta ( I’m a bat lover ) very friendly bar manager from Nepal made me feel very welcome . IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS ITS GREAT

Hotel staff polite, supportive and courteous. I arrived at the hotel a day late due to unforeseen difficulties, the arrival was at 1am. I had previously sent a email relating to the delay. The staff reception officer was very helpful and when l explained the delayed arrival he was extremely professional ensuring a room was available with suitable amenities. The air conditioning was effective, particularly during the hot nights. Would definitely return and spend few days break at the accommodation and recommend to family and friends.
