115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective
6/10 Okay
"Despite paying more for our family suite we felt our room was a little bit dated. Overall the property is kept clean but we felt our room was just lacking that special something. Despite mentioning it was a special celebration for us returning to Malta for our 30 year anniversary we received no welcome for this as others have mentioned a different experience. Our room was spacious enough but the bathroom and especially the shower were very average. Beds were comfy enough and as we were in a higher front facing room the views were great even though our balcony had some scaffolding up next to us. Noise levels were ok given we were up higher and facing the busy street below. Breakfast was very average bordering on poor for us and the choice and quality was very basic. Hence we did not want to try the hotel restaurant and ate out elsewhere. Breakfast could be very busy depending on the time you arrived each morning. Staff were quick to clean up plates however. Reception and general staff friendliness was great. I feel the hotel could be much better with some improvements to the rooms and bathrooms and the general breakfast experience but maybe the whole area is fairly similar given it’s a busy tourist area."
"Good location with the ferry to Valletta only a 5-10 minute walk away. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great variety for breakfast. Would recommend"
"The mattresses were too soft, had a hard time getting a good night sleep. A/C wasn't operating. The hotel switches it on and off depending on the season. "Winter" in Malta is still warm enough to not consider sleeping with A/C farfetched."
"Location of the hotel is great. Based in Sliema/Griza area it is a 5 minute walk to the Sliema docks where you can easily hop on a ferry or one of the gondolas (€3 per person one-way) to Valletta.
The hotel doesn't have an on-site pool but across the road there is Aqualuna which is like a beach club vibe (pool, sun loungers etc) and entrance is free to customers of the hotel. (You need to collect a receipt from hotel reception each day to access Aqualuna).
Hotel is approx 15 minutes from the airport (traffic dependent).
Room was cleaned every day and overall cleanliness of the hotel is good."
"Samuel was very helpful at reception, Kim kept the apparent spotless, the apartment was exactly as described, we even got an upgrade. The location was excellent."
