“This hotel immediately struck me as a place to truly experience Sliema. Its prime location, mere steps from the sea and a short walk to both St. Julien and Valletta ferries, places everything within easy reach. I especially appreciate the rooftop terrace-a perfect vantage point to absorb the neighborhood's character.”

moldy cheeselate night noise

The breakfast selection was VERY limited. Mold was visible on the cheese that was offered. My room faced a nearby bar, and the noise continued until late at night. This made it difficult to sleep.
