The Maltese Sun

Very nice location, friendly staff, close to all restaurants, Sliema is the best place to stay right in the middle

nice staff great place

Outstanding service and super friendly staff in an authentic maltese environment.

Have you ever stayed somewhere that was just sooooooo close to hitting the mark but missed it every time? That was this place. Without question the staff were absolutely amazing. Bubbly, kind and chatty. They were honestly the best part of the place. The one tough part is the staff leaves at 3pm, so if there is a problem after, you need to call them. The room I originally had, had great AC, excellent WiFi and a working TV, but encountered a bug issue and so I called and they were quick to move me. That room had great AC, a working TV, but the WiFi was completely down for my room, even though it connected in other parts of the guesthouse. This caused some issues as that night I need to do a lot of work and so that took away from my time to explore the next day. I told the front desk the next morning and they moved me again. This room was upgraded and was very nice. Had excellent AC, okay WiFi… but the TV didn’t work. I only booked 2 nights and stayed in 3 different rooms but none of them hit the base level marks. What I can tell you is they have excellent AC! Breakfast was good, the terrace is nice and the location is easy with a 20minute walk to the ferry to Valletta. I really wanted to give them a better score, but honestly for the experience I had, the place would have needed to be cheaper for me to tolerate as many misses as there were or have given me some form of a small compensation for so many issues in a short trip.

Good bed and property

Assaulted and abused by staff after failing to provide check in instructions so I accessed a room that was empty.

My second stay here and I will definitely be staying again. Premises and room are very clean, comfy bed, good shower. Breakfast is plentiful with friendly team serving.

We had a lovely stay. The hotel is located on the quieter streets behind the main road down at the waterfront which made it feel very peaceful. The room was clean and generous, a little bit of a damp smell in the wardrobe. But all in all it was great value and exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the breakfast.

Once again Yaseer and his staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful and full of smiles all the time. Recommend to any body. Well done folks

Nice place in good location

Excellent staff on site; of particular note are Mila and Joanna that started off every morning serving an excellent breakfast, with so much warmth and kindness!

A really nice and affordable hotel in a handy area of Sliema. Letting myself in on the evening of my arrival was handy with a code for the main door and then another to get my key from a lockbox. My single room had enough space and wardrobe and nice sized bathroom. Reception staff was nice and friendly. It was helpful having a vending machine in the building for when I needed water at night after the nearby shops had closed. I stayed in November and the area was very quiet, even with the window open all I could hear was the occasional church bells in the distance. Two small issues I had was that there was some dried snot smeared on the wall by the bed when I arrived but I just wiped this off. Then on my last night I knelt on the end of my bed and the mattress fell through. It looks like some slats were missing so I reported this the next morning and the staff said they would look into it. Also be careful when walking around the hotel at night - there are automatic lights that come on when walking around but sometime you have to wave your arms around or walk down the opposite way you want to go in order for the sensor to detect you and turn on. But all in all it was a very nice stay.

The location was great for walking - a little less easy with a car. Close to bus routes. Our room and bathroom were pleasant and clean. There was a wonderful shared kitchen with great facilities. The elevator worked well. Locks were set up to make it easy to come and go as one pleased. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

This was an excellent guesthouse. Our room was huge and very nicely furnished, with a very comfy bed and great shower. The entire place is beautiful and grand. The guesthouse is also right by the waterfront. Check-in was very easy. Yaseer and the staff were very helpful and lovely. On top of this, the rate was really affordable. We couldn’t recommend The Maltese Sun more. Thanks for having us!

Staff are all fantastic friendly and really helpful

Highly recommend, very clean, comfortable and not too expensive! It was a last minute booking, checking in was easy, even though there was no one there at check in, we called and they gave us a code to enter and our room was available. Staff was very friendly, I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name working reception but very helpful, courteous and made us feel very welcome. Location is great as well!

A vintage hundred years old building, modernized in a way that suits all the needs of the guests. A great rooftop terrace, common kitchen area, wi-fi signal and an impressive authentic interior, feels like walking in a museum. Very friendly staff and a superb experience. Everything you need for a short or a long stay.

Great stay at The Maltese Sun - lovely staff and a perfect location.

Nice classic small hotel, friendly staff, with good location close to the sea, but the room was noisy and the smell was not good, the air conditioner was not working well.

I'm not really sure where to begin with this review... It is a great location - minutes from the water, restaurants and public transport and most of the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were several disappointments with this facility: #1 - the breakfast. It is overpriced for what you're offered. You'd be better to walk 5 mins at a restaurant along the main road #2 - housekeeping. We booked 4 nights with the hotel. There is a sign on the door that the room isn't refreshed daily, you must ask reception for fresh towels, etc. After days 2, we asked reception for fresh towels and were told that it would be done. We came back in the evening and still no fresh towels. What was extremely frustrating and disgusting was that housekeeping took the DIRTY towels from a pile in the corner on the floor and HUNG THEM UP up as if they were clean towels. Absolutely baffling and unhygienic. Reception closes at 2p, so I called the customer service # and was told that we couldn't get fresh towels until we've stayed 3 days. I think this is a bit ridiculous and goes against what is posted and what we were told. #3 - acoustics. There is no insulation, therefore you can hear everything from your room - from the woman blow-drying her hair at 1am to the person cooking in the kitchen at 12a to the traffic on the street at all hours. Good luck getting any sleep here! #4 - I can't remember exactly what it is called, but we were hounded for the 5euros tax that we knew nothing about.
