The staff were so lovely and friendly. Daily change of towels which was very useful. The breakfast was really good and filling as well. It was so close to St. Julian's. Overall loved it and if I go Malta again I will definitely consider staying here again! Also no sound from the busy streets which is a major bonus in Malta in such a busy area!

Solid bed and breakfast, very friendly staff. Hotel is a bit shabby in places but the team and breakfast make up for it!

Amazing hotel. Clean, they change your towels, make your bed and tidy up your room every day, great breakfast, they even leave the air conditioning on for me when I'm out during the day which is a bit of overkill, but hey the hospitality is great. Fab location as well, in Sliema so not too busy, but very close to the bus stop and the waterfront

This fitted us perfectly. It was very good value. The room and ensuite had all we needed. Bed was comfortable, decent shower etc. Mini fridge was really helpful plus hair dryer. All was clean and towels changed as needed daily. Breakfasts - what a selection! Only down side, windows opened onto a ventilation shaft, but then it was the basic package! We would happily go again!

The hotel is good and easily accessible with the bus or even the ferry from Valletta old town. It is located in the modern part of Valletta which is called sliema. The bus rides are a bit rough and take between 15 to 30 minutes. Breakfast is excellent and the service and personnel was very friendly and helpful. The only negative thing was that my room was too small and the curtains weren’t good enough and I had light in the room early morning

Staff very friendly and room was clean. Location is super convenient for all buses and Main Street access to Sliema Ferry / Tour Boats. Breakfast was varied and well equipped. Room itself was let down slightly by poorly fitted gaps around door / minimal soundproofing (could be fixed with a door seal), but overall greatly appreciated the quality of hotel and daily towel housekeeping.

Clean room/Friendly Staff/Pleasant stay. We really enjoyed our stay at the Howard Hotel in Sliema. The complimentary breakfast was a lovely touch, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. A special mention to the jolly gentleman who ran the breakfast area — he worked hard to keep everyone happy and well looked after. The cleanliness throughout the hotel was superb. Our room was on the small side and could have done with a little fresh paint in places, but overall it was comfortable and perfectly fine. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Great value and super friendly

A lovely place to stay. Arrived late but the instructions about out-of-hours access to the room were both accurate and easy to follow. The newly refurbished room was extremely clean and comfortable, although generally the sound-proofing was inadequate - no problem for me but potentially troublesome for sober guests or those sensitive to church bells, chirpy European visitors and even chirpier construction workers. Breakfast was pleasant but a smidgeon over-priced; meanwhile the location was handy as well as conveniently serviced by local Bolt and Uber drivers. All the staff were super friendly - which seems to be a genetic trait of most if not all Maltese people. Overall, terrific value for money and highly recommended by this reviewer!

Despite checking three times that the hotel was aware of my request for vegan options, I only had cucumber, sweetcorn, tomatoes, lettuce and whole fruit available to me. They seemed reluctant to provide any vegan bread and took persuading to provide vegan milk. This aside, staff were extremely friendly from the outset, the room was very pleasant but sandwiched two single beds to form an awkward double the was pressed against the full length mirror, preventing its full use. We appreciated the bottles of free water restocked each time the room was cleaned. Overall, we would really recommend this hotel - it's on walking distance to shops, shopping malls, transport links in abundance, short walk to St Julian's and plenty of amazing restaurants in Sliema and surrounding areas. All of these amenities are within 5-30 min walks and so close to the harbour that you can see it from the hotel entrance just a very short 5 mins walk away. A great location off the main road and, therefore, very quiet. We felt extremely safe walking about at night in the area. Lidl only a 10min walk away. The hotel is very modern and pleasant inside.

2/10 Poor

This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. The receptionist, Benjamin, did not welcome us on arrival and was immediately rude. After a long flight and being awake for 24 hours, we arrived at 11am and were already checked in, yet he refused to let us wait in the reception area. When we asked where we could stay until 3pm, he dismissed us, rudely told us there was “nothing to do in Sliema,” and showed us the way out. This behaviour was unprofessional and his attitude was disgusting. When we asked for our room number, he claimed he didn’t know. We left the hotel without keys or any information about the room. The manager, Kate, was defensive and dismissive when we raised concerns on same day. Things became worse when we returned. The room did not have a private bathroom as advertised. Instead, the bathroom was outside in a communal corridor, dirty, with worn-out towels and used dirty pillowcases that were not replaced despite complaints. We were told there were no clean replacements available. The bathroom and room had insects, and hygiene was extremely poor. The hotel refused to change or upgrade our room, claiming nothing was available, even though rooms were shown as available online. Breakfast was also unhygienic, with flies around uncovered food and often no coffee. This hotel provides misleading information during reservations about amenities, it was misrepresented, extremely unhygienic, and staffed by rude, dismissive employees. I strongly advise avoiding it.
