Great location and cheap hotel. Would like to recommend this to every one.

Great location and nice room only negative is that there wasn’t always someone available at reception but that is a minor thing overall I was happy

Quite good hotel but in this location is a lot of building which are reconstructed. The noise and polution negatively influenced our stay in this hotel.

I am surprised by so many negative reviews and people's regrets about booking this hotel. The only regret we had was a piece of cranberry cheese forgotten in the fridge in our room :) It's a basic budget hotel, you can't expect Four Seasons Resort service for that little money you paid. Location is excellent - the hotel is surrounded by shops, café, restaurants, supermarket. Bus stop and ferry - 5 min walk. Quick commute to/from the airport - it took us only 25 minutes to get to the hotel on X2 bus. There is a beach nearby. Very helpful manager. We got our boarding passes printed for free. There was a fridge, stove, oven, microwave and tea kettle in the room - everything in good working condition. Essential cookware, utensils, glasses. Quite decent linens and towels. TV did not work, but we did not come to Malta to watch TV. The only flaw we found was weak WiFi signal. It was free, but worked normally only in the lobby. Overall, good value for the price and nice base to explore Malta.

Everything is old; this is the worst hotel I stayed in my life. I stayed in the room with toilet + garden view. The garden is not theirs; it is a bunch of trees of the abandoned house next door. Super old curtains, the ceiling had a lot of dust around the fan ceiling. The microwave was so old that I was afraid to use it. The small fridge was super noisy. Sincerely, avoid it!

very good location,

I have stayed in many budget hotels but never have I experienced anything like this. Absolutely awful, bed linen not clean even when replaced. Not surprising given when we went to the linen room the woman was smoking. Building materials placed in room whilst we were there. Direct access from street never felt secure. We moved out after 1 night.

Closed to the beach good for value for money they give you free wi fi for 12 hours it's has lifts to the floors and rooms have ceiling fan and a/c

Typical 2-star, clean meet basic needs. Selected for family visit so booked 4 rooms. Accommodation is decent value for money. We had Nice airy room w a terrace - basic amenities. Centrally locates & walking distance to shops & restaurants. Manager eager to accommodate needs if requested and able. Double beds are actually two twins put together. Not accessible for persons w disability. On top of hill so be ready to walk on incline which appears to be the case in most apartels. P Coffee shop on site is basic, expensive & use only if u must. can get better on seafront coffee shops a couple of minutes walk down!

We booked for one night before leaving Malta .. Not far from the Airport .. The guy at the desk is verry helpfull , we have print our boarding pass for free. 50 m from sea side , restaurant and shop .. so perfect for us . cheap for 8 and 1 night ;-). Bus stop and ferry at 100 m. What else ?

This place is just a bare essentials `hotel`.The office to book in and out is very rarely manned.I had to complain to the manager that no maids changed dirty towels or cleaned the room for our first three days & was assured it would be sorted,he didn't ask the cleaners and I went directly to them instead everyday.Theres no common area but the lift works!.Decent location very close to the esplanade and city centre.Just a basic room,been in better hostels to be honest.

We were not expecting a luxury apartment, but this really was poor. To begin with, check-in is very basic. They didn't know if we'd paid or not, the room wasn't ready by the appointed hour, and there was no information about checking out. Meanwhile, in the room... poo and rust. That was our takeaway experience, really. You don't get over seeing a toilet brush in that condition. It changes you, like war. And the bath - which, incidentally, was weirdly too small to fit an adult human in (maybe a large Beagle), was rusty inside. We opened the fridge to put a bottle of water inside and were met with a torrent of lukewarm water and a single drowned fly. If you wanted to flick the light on at night, you had three options to blindly fumble for. One: The light switch. Two: within two inches, an open electrical socket. Or option three, right beside the last two options: accidentally turn off the hot water. You can flick a switch to turn on a little light outside your door meaning "come and clean me!" We kept it on for two days. No one came. Do not be fooled by photoshopped pictures of balconies and shimmering seas. There were no balconies, and the view was a collapsed building. When the time came to check out, we had to guess. The reception was closed (during the hours it was meant to be staffed) so we put our keys in the key box and hoped for the best. They probably think we're still there. We won't be going back.

This hotel can only be interested for those who are not spending much time inside, except for sleeping. The location is good, just around the corner from the small beach and fairy-station. It is easy to get around since there are good bus connections. The hotel itself is outdated, dirty and desperately needs to be renovated. Air condition works badly, dirty towels and around the bath room. In the bathroom the water tap has to be fixed since both shower and tap leak water. The breakfast, even paid, was not prepared and we had to wait almost an hour to get it. There is no coffee in normal sense, but an instant one. The woman who served the breakfast was the same one who was cleaning the rooms. For my three days stay she wore the same outfit consisting leggings and a t-shirt. After my initial review about the place I was confonted about it by a receptionist, who apparently was not happy to read it. He was but nice as to give me a free WiFi access, even though one was supposed to pay for it. I will definitely not book this place any more.

Location would have been nice but we arrived around 1845 and the lobby was empty and locked. We pressed the intercom button as the sign directed, but sadly there was no answer. We ended up booking a different hotel on the spot that ended up being cheaper, and more importantly, open to receive guests.

This block of apartments and hotel rooms features rooms with adequate furniture and a kitchenette. It is located in central Sliema conveniently close to shops and the seafront. Our room was clean and was kept so by daily cleaning staff. The room finish is rather rough and the mattresses where thin and lumpy but sheets and blankets were lean and changed daily. Furniture is adequate and the plumbing works. The maids were very helpful. The reception staff are not always available. Check in early! Parking for rental cars is almost non-existent in the congested Sliema area. We wanted a cheap clean 3 star in central Sliema and that is what we got, precisely as advertised.

rooms clean and great location

Late evening check-in meant reception was unstaffed so we had no opportunity to pay for and collect the special extension required to operate the air-con in the room. Similar needed if you want to watch TV. That meant the first night was impossible to sleep because of the heat. Apart from that very basic, but cheap as chips so can't complain too much...

Hotel is cheap for stay but no reception in after 2pm staff is friendly and you have to pay for air conditions separately otherwise is ok

The room was clean but very tired. The kitchenette was very basic the hob was free standing balanced on the work top and the microwave needed a clean.The beds were comfy and we had the room cleaned nearly every day. We basically got what we paid for.however I do feel that safety was an issue in the communal areas.These were open 24/7 and there was no one monitoring any coming and goings the reception area being closed for a large amount of time . The stairwells were littered with cigarette ends and there were beds and mattress stacked. The lifts were a nightmare, one descended with the doors half open and the other had doors that shut but didnt move! Pay your money and take your choice... I wouldnt choose again.

We spent one week in Alborada. It was the cheapest hotel available. Besides the cheap price, there wasnt much good in this hotel. We had problems with the electricity, we didnt have water one morning and we stayed there with my girlfriend and the beds were on different levels - and I mean that when we pushed the two separate beds together, there was a 5cm difference in the height of the beds. Luckily the hotel staff fixed the bedding problem.Alborada is what you can expect to get for this price.. There was a fridge, shower, beds and basic equipment to make some food.The location is quite good. Its a good choice if you just want to travel with small budget.

Hotel was tired but reasonable for the price.For a little investment and effort it could be quite good. The best thing in favour of this hotel was its position in relation to everything within Selima!!!Still enjoyed my stay though.

Staff were not helpful. When you had a problem they could not speak English. When they had extra charges they could speak very well. They did not service our room and they said they did. the Aircon cost extra.

We were sent to another hotel for some strange reason and had to pay 15 eouros more there. We were realy uppsett by this and wont recomend either hotels to anyone.

nice place , rooms well equipped and clean, very quite at night so no problem sleeping, good location for buses, shops and the Sliema promenade
