Good location bad hotel
Pros:

We stayed in small double with no view for five nights and quiet and a much larger sea view for one night which was very noisy from the traffic. Breakfast was 11 euro and not worth it. The staff were surly and not helpful. I had to pay 5 Euro for a plug and there was no free water in the room. The only it has is being close to the ferry and sightseeing boats. This is at best a run down 3 star.

Pros:

Nice hotel. A little dated. Breakfast was good and varied each day.
Note that this is a review for ST Bayview as the ST Sliema was closed. We were moved without hassle although communication was poor.

Pros:

It was about 20:00 Check-in but the staff welcomed us in.
The room on top floor is little old and need some re-modeling especially on bath/shower and toilet area.(it works perfectly but it is out dated)
But the large balcony was best view in town. We saw a beautiful night view and a sunrise from the Valetta.
At last, the updating the elevator/lift could be a good idea for efficiency and for safety.
Surrounding of the hotel is great, many restaurant options.

Pros:

Good hotel, with good value for money. The location is great, and the staff are friendly. The only negative feedback I have is the poor wifi, which is incredibly slow in the hotel room.

Hair in the beds, smelly toilet nothing like shown in the pictures, only could spend first night here, we have to check out next morning and spend money booking another hotel for the week 😕, no refund, just an apology, cause they know the conditions of the hotel but they're just workers.

Pros:

Amazing views but a very tired hotel, needs a lot of tlc and update.
Excellent location for Valletta, ferry’s and buses.
A lot of noise from lifts and doors all night long.
All that being said, the views from the room were worth while.

Pros:

The Hotel is just yards away from various touring options, bus stops for routes going over the entire island, and the ferry which takes one over Valletta in a matter of minutes. And of course it’s close to wide selection of eateries and shopping.

The breakfast buffet offered is excellent. A wide range of hot and cold items are available.

Better hotels nearby.
Pros:

Hotel offers double bed but this is not the case, its 2 singles pushed together and they spread apart. I specifically wanted a double bed.

Lift felt like it was going to breakdown, i was on floor 2 but when you push 2 it takes you to 1, i pushed 3 it takes you to 2... not sure whats wrong with it.

All the doors bang very loud, very disturbing. Put some foam padding around it.

Im a tall guy and for some reason the ceiling is low in the shower, i have to bend down otherwise my head touches it.

The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff are nice and helpful.

Breakfast was basic, sausages was cold and undercooked.

Very disappointing.
Pros:

A TERRIBLE experience. I booked with points but never had such a bad experience. The room was half renovated, on the first floor above the disco which means that it was impossible to sleep without ear plugs before 2am. The harbor views are not worth it when you are jetlagged and need to adapt to the time zone quickly. The bathroom looked like it survived to many earthquakes and desperately needed to be brought into this century. The staff was friendly and helpful but anyone has access to the luggage room as it is unlocked so don't assume your belongings are safe. Really not worth it!

Good location
Pros:

Basic hotel, rather dated but adequate for our needs. We had a room at the back which was smaller than the front rooms because I’m a light sleeper and it was fine. Good shower, tea making facilities and AC.
Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was just ok.
The pool is a few minutes walk away which was very nice and the ferry to Valletta is almost opposite the hotel. It takes 5 minutes to get to Valletta and the ferry to Gozo is opposite the hotel too.

Pros:

This hotel needs to be managed from the top. It was only the lady in reception called Ned’s who calmed everything down. Her reception was fantastic . She saved the day for me .. she went out of her way by helping me on my arrival when my room had not been prepared property. She organised a team to clean my room properly She is so diplomatic in a stressful situation and even while dealing with my problem of mold in the shower area she was talking in several languages to the many other guests who demanded her attention. This hotel is lucky to have her on their staff. She is very patient with all the guests and in particular she is a treasure to the hotel and controls the whole area with calmness and informative attention and care the upper management are at fault here
