10/10 Exceptional

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.

Hanho, 3-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.
Sarah, 3-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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Tamer, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect for the price, clean and comfortable

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!
Mathieu, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Nicholas, 7-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!

I had a fantastic stay at The Maltese Sun! The location near the bus stop and close to all kinds of shops (Costa Coffee, markets, pharmacy all at walk distance). The rooms are exactly like the ones in the picture, not particularly large but just right for our needs. Both the rooms and the entire hotel are very clean, the cleaning staff work perfectly. A special mention to Yaseer and Mila at the reception who were extremely helpful and friendly during our stay at the Maltese sun.
