A very nice stay
First of all, very convenient location with a bus stop 2 minutes away, clean and spacious room (well done for the normal hair dryer) breakfast honest in relation to the room price, you can leave your things after check out in a special room and pick them up later I suggested it to a friend who will be visiting Malta

Small pretty hotel
Nice, clean and very convinient hotel.
Rooms are spacious and nice. There is a breakfast included good enough to start the day. All the staff are very nice, from the breakfast lady, reception and cleaning!
The hotel is in a good area for first time visitor. It is in Gzira only 5min away from the Sliema promenade with tons of restaurants. There are also a 24/7 market right on the corner for drinks and snacks

Great location, clean rooms
Staff was really friendly, the location is very close to everything, close bus stop, the only thing is that it could be quite noisy if you stay in a room with window to the street, apart from that everything was great

Perfect hotel
Would absolutely recommend this location!! They had a great little morning breakfast. The staff was pleasant and communicated well. The rooms were great size and provided everything you needed. The location was perfectly in walking distance, restaurants, or a quick cab ride to the main downtown.

Great location, staff and transport links. Breakfast options were good and staff very accommodating. The room was super clean, large and comfortable. Only downfall the hotel is on a very busy road so did not get great sleep.

It was my first time in Malta and i could not have chosen a better hotel for the price I paid. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean with a spacious bathroom. The room had tea and coffee making facilties and i enjoyed a nice breakfast every morning.
However the best thing about this hotel was the amazing staff, they were always pleasant and are an absolute credit to themselves.
One thing i may change in future and this is not in any way meant to be a criticism is that i may ask for a delux room which i believe have a window out onto the street outside, mine didnt, in my case the window was into the lughting well and was a little dark sometimes.
All in all i had a great stay at the Urban Isle Hotel and I wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

Great hotel , great location.
Thisvis a cheap and simple yet excellent hotel. Room was big, super modern, super clean and was served every day. The shower was probably the best of all hotels I have ever been . Great breakfast. Location is superb with 5 mins walk from many great local restaurants and great bus connection to Valleta and other destinations. Highly recommended especially for families.
