Great location, short walk to waterfront and maybe 10 mins to all the restaurants but in a quiet neighbourhood. Great reception, room was spotless, comfie bed and pillows! The rate included breakfast which was really nice and fresh - staff at breakfast were lovely! Served on rooftop terrace which we really enjoyed. Staff super responsive to any queries. Highly recommend!!!

Very lovely stay at the Maltese Sun. Breakfast on the terrace was great. The hotel looks better than the photos on the website. The bathrooms are nicely remodeled. Only thing is the common areas are hot and the drinking water is also hot.

Instalaciones preciosas, la habitación amplia, cómoda y muy limpia. La terraza donde desayunamos nos encantó. El personal atento y detallista (las chicas que ponen el desayuno muy simpáticas y amables). El único pero para nosotros es el precio un poco caro.

Esperienza positiva

Esperienza molto positiva nel complesso. Self-check-in semplice e colazione molto abbondante e buona. Staff molto disponibile e gentile. Unica nota negativa: la stanza era accanto alla cucina per la colazione e la mattina presto si iniziavano a sentire i rumori di chi preparava. Vi consiglio poi di non tenere le finestre aperte perchè entrano molte zanzare

Rummen är mycket små och mörka, saknas dagsljus. Belysningen i rummen var mycket undermålig, det var t ex omöjligt att läsa på rummet. Badrummen OK. Städningen på rummen inte särskilt bra. Personalen som serverade frukost mycket trevlig. Transferservice från flygplatsen fungerade ej, trots bokad. Inte prisvärt, vi blev mycket besvikna.

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.
