Nicholas, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

2/10 Poor

Pure scum

Assaulted and abused by staff after failing to provide check in instructions so I accessed a room that was empty.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

6/10 Good

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.

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
Luna, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great value, lovely staff :)

I chose The Maltese Sun only based on location, price, and included breakfast. It turned out to be a great choice :) My room was ground level with a small "open atrium", allowing you to sit outside in shade. The room was perfect for one person, it was clean, and it had a Smart TV with internet access (YouTube/Netflix apps available). From the hotel it's easy to get to public transport, and it's within easy walking distance to for instance, restaurants and the Valletta ferry. I rented a scooter during my stay, and it was no problem parking it in the street right at the hotel. There's no staff during the evening, but a self-service snack bar is available, and a convenience store a few hundred meters away. (I believe you can call the staff if needed, but I didn't need to) The breakfast - served on the lovely roof terrace - was a big plus. Most days it was prepared by Linda who did a great job :) A pretty good selection of food available and you can have fresh eggs prepared as you wish. (I'd like to recommend the Omelet and also do get the amazing Maltese peppered cheese.) If/When I'm back on Malta I'll definitely go to The Maltese Sun again :)

8/10 Very good

Das gesamte Personal war sehr professionell und zuvorkommend und freundlich! Die Zimmer sehr ruhig und sauber, wenn auch sehr klein( liegt wohl daran, dass es ein altes Gebäude und Platzmangel immer schon vorhanden war). Sehr schöne Frühstücksterrasse mit feinen kleinen Frühstücksbuffet. Busstation ist in 5 Minuten gut zu Fuß zuerreichen- wenn auch die Buse meist viel zu voll und leider wegen des Verkehrs oft spät kommen ( zu viel Autoverkehr generell ) Gerne wieder
Manuela, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a calm little street only two minutes walking away from the main road and the waterfront promenade of Sliema where many bars, pubs and restaurants are located. It's overall very charming, the room was simple but fully equipped. Don't expect a view from the rooms, my window faced a large tree, which however was also nice. The large beautiful roof terrace makes up for it. I especially enjoyed the breakfasts there. The staff was always extraordinarily friendly and helpful.
Marius, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ha sido una estancia fenomenal, la casa, la tranquilidad y la amabilidad de el personal, especialmente Jessica, han sido los mejores valores. Un buen desayuno,una posición estratégica, a pocos pasos de la bahía de san Julián y la comodidad del sitio, nos ha hecho creer que estábamos hablando n nuestra propia casa. Sin duda si volvemos a Malta, nos alojaremos de nuevo aquí.
