Have you ever stayed somewhere that was just sooooooo close to hitting the mark but missed it every time? That was this place. Without question the staff were absolutely amazing. Bubbly, kind and chatty. They were honestly the best part of the place. The one tough part is the staff leaves at 3pm, so if there is a problem after, you need to call them. The room I originally had, had great AC, excellent WiFi and a working TV, but encountered a bug issue and so I called and they were quick to move me. That room had great AC, a working TV, but the WiFi was completely down for my room, even though it connected in other parts of the guesthouse. This caused some issues as that night I need to do a lot of work and so that took away from my time to explore the next day. I told the front desk the next morning and they moved me again. This room was upgraded and was very nice. Had excellent AC, okay WiFi… but the TV didn’t work. I only booked 2 nights and stayed in 3 different rooms but none of them hit the base level marks. What I can tell you is they have excellent AC! Breakfast was good, the terrace is nice and the location is easy with a 20minute walk to the ferry to Valletta. I really wanted to give them a better score, but honestly for the experience I had, the place would have needed to be cheaper for me to tolerate as many misses as there were or have given me some form of a small compensation for so many issues in a short trip.

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 really nice and affordable hotel in a handy area of Sliema. Letting myself in on the evening of my arrival was handy with a code for the main door and then another to get my key from a lockbox. My single room had enough space and wardrobe and nice sized bathroom. Reception staff was nice and friendly. It was helpful having a vending machine in the building for when I needed water at night after the nearby shops had closed. I stayed in November and the area was very quiet, even with the window open all I could hear was the occasional church bells in the distance. Two small issues I had was that there was some dried snot smeared on the wall by the bed when I arrived but I just wiped this off. Then on my last night I knelt on the end of my bed and the mattress fell through. It looks like some slats were missing so I reported this the next morning and the staff said they would look into it. Also be careful when walking around the hotel at night - there are automatic lights that come on when walking around but sometime you have to wave your arms around or walk down the opposite way you want to go in order for the sensor to detect you and turn on. But all in all it was a very nice stay.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I'm not really sure where to begin with this review... It is a great location - minutes from the water, restaurants and public transport and most of the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were several disappointments with this facility: #1 - the breakfast. It is overpriced for what you're offered. You'd be better to walk 5 mins at a restaurant along the main road #2 - housekeeping. We booked 4 nights with the hotel. There is a sign on the door that the room isn't refreshed daily, you must ask reception for fresh towels, etc. After days 2, we asked reception for fresh towels and were told that it would be done. We came back in the evening and still no fresh towels. What was extremely frustrating and disgusting was that housekeeping took the DIRTY towels from a pile in the corner on the floor and HUNG THEM UP up as if they were clean towels. Absolutely baffling and unhygienic. Reception closes at 2p, so I called the customer service # and was told that we couldn't get fresh towels until we've stayed 3 days. I think this is a bit ridiculous and goes against what is posted and what we were told. #3 - acoustics. There is no insulation, therefore you can hear everything from your room - from the woman blow-drying her hair at 1am to the person cooking in the kitchen at 12a to the traffic on the street at all hours. Good luck getting any sleep here! #4 - I can't remember exactly what it is called, but we were hounded for the 5euros tax that we knew nothing about.

The Maltese Sun is my go to hotel when travelling to Malta either for business or vacation. Located just off the main street and the promenade gives it a good combination of being close to the restaurants and the beach aswell as being quite for a good nights sleep. The staff at the hotel is very polite and shows a genuine interest in your well being and will try to assist with any request you might have. The self-check in system is easy and well described, room is clean and tidy and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Being in the heart of Sliema you won't find a better location and the value for money is tremendous. I'll keep coming here!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Maltese Sun. It is a quaint, traditional Maltese guest house. The rooms are basic but comfortable and very good value for money. Location is excellent for visiting Sliema, Valletta, St Julians Bay and Paceville. My only advice would be to avoid the breakfast, it is way over priced at 10euros, better off walking down onto the sea front where there is a nice cafe / restaurant, doing much better food for less.

Property was in a very convenient location (as suggested by other reviews I'd read), close to Exiles bus stop. My room was on the ground floor, so I could hear when folks were milling about in the hallway, which wasn't ideal but liveable. The room was well appointed and had the bonus of a little courtyard garden, which was nice (subject to the mozzies!) I wasn't a huge fan of the virtual reception, but that's more a personal preference, the place was only manned from 8am to 3pm-ish, when I was not there as I like to get an early start on the day, so there wasn't much scope to get advice / input to my plans. That said any messages left for them were promptly replied to. the upstairs terrace is a lovely space and i had breakfast (only time i did) on the last day, breakfast was serviceable and the service was good. However felt quite steep at €10. On the second to last day I asked them to organise a taxi for the airport for the next day, which they said was done, however the taxi didn't turn up (can't really say who that was down to) and I had to phone up the out of hours number and get a new taxi ordered. A small but unnecessary stress. Overall very happy with my stay.

Lovely little place to stay with easy access to the shops, coffee house and transportations links to other places on the island. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy with no issues at all. My breakfast experience was great too, plenty of different foods to choose from whilst eating in the morning sun was a pleasant experience.

Good location as it is near the ferry services and bus stops. Many supermarkets and restaurants! There was a communal kitchen so it was very useful. Breakfast was decent. Room was great but looked a bit old and 1 of the 2 doors was confusing (hard to open or lock it) so after locking it I didn’t touch that door The only downside was that the oven wasn’t working
