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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
