Malta and Gozo, Europe
Sliema
If exploring the many delights of the wonderful island of Malta is top of your holiday agenda, then the Sliema Marina Hotel could well be the perfect place for you to base yourself. Sliema itself is a charming mix of old and new and boasts a bustling seafront promenade. Staying at the Sliema Marina Hotel in Sliema also means you'll be within easy reach of the Maltese capital of Valetta and the cosmopolitan resort of St Julian's Bay. It's all here for you to discover.
The perfect place to discover the many charms of Maltese life:
If you've chosen to stay in Sliema, you'll definitely want to be near the promenade – this is where it's all 'happening' not just for tourists and visitors, but for the locals too. Take a dip in the sea, find a shady spot from which to soak up some glorious sunshine, stop off for a cool drink or a tasty meal, or perhaps go for an evening walk as the sun goes down over the sea.
The Sliema Marina Hotel is conveniently located right on the Sliema promenade, so you'll immediately feel very much a part of things from the moment you arrive. You can be sure of a warm welcome too. The Maltese are well-known for their hospitality, and the staff at the Sliema Marina Hotel will be delighted to make you feel at home. This is a very friendly hotel that has a modern feel to it. It fact it's an ideal choice for a relaxed and laid back break away from home. The enviable location means you're also within every easy reach of all of Sliema's attractions including the beachfront and a selection of restaurants and bars. Should you wish to strike out a little further afield – perhaps a visit to the cultural centre of Valetta with its museums and fantastic architecture – then there's a bus stop right outside the Sliema Marina Hotel.
As a result of a recent refurbishment, you'll find that rooms are all very comfortable and well presented. You might wish to upgrade to a sea view room with balcony which is a delight to wake up to each morning or to savour a cool drink as you plan your evening ahead.
All rooms are en suite, air conditioned, and equipped with TV, hairdryer, fridge (at a fee), safe and free Wi-Fi. Elsewhere in the Sliema Marina Hotel, you'll also discover a comfortable lounge, a café, and helpful staff on reception (which is manned 24 hours).
In short, everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday can be found at the charming Marina Hotel, Sliema.

Review by Giovanni G Bristol, United Kingdom
Disappointing stay – cleanliness and lack of hot water
Unfortunately, the hotel was a disappointment. There was no hot water during our stay, the rooms were dirty and quite worn out. There was also practically no space to store clothes and personal belongings. For this standard of accommodation, we would expect a significantly higher level of cleanliness, facilities and overall comfort.
Sliema Marina Hotel: Unbeatable Location, But Rooms Need Attention
Having spent 7 nights at the Sliema Marina Hotel, I came away with mixed feelings.
The hotel's biggest strength is undoubtedly its location, which is exceptional. Situated directly on the Sliema waterfront, it is literally across the road from the Valletta ferry, the Gozo Fast Ferry terminal, airport bus stops and harbour cruise boats. Restaurants, bars, cafés and shopping are all within easy walking distance. As a base for exploring Malta, the location is difficult to beat and deserves 10/10.
We stayed in a sea-view room with a balcony and the views across the harbour towards Valletta were outstanding. Watching the ferries and harbour activity from the balcony was one of the highlights of the trip.
The reception area was always clean and tidy, and the staff were consistently friendly, polite and helpful throughout our stay. Guests also receive a discount at the adjoining Greek restaurant, where we enjoyed several good meals.
Breakfast was well cooked but lacked variety, with very little change from day to day. For a shorter stay this may not be an issue, but after a week it became repetitive.
The room itself was clean, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well and housekeeping generally did a reasonable job, although tea and coffee supplies were occasionally overlooked. Unfortunately, the room and bathroom were clearly showing their age. The décor felt dark and dated, there were visible cracks and signs of previous repairs, and the bathroom in particular would benefit from refurbishment. While everything functioned correctly and the bathroom was clean, the overall standard of maintenance fell below what I expected.
My overall impression is that this hotel is relying heavily on its superb location, and understandably so, because the location really is excellent. However, the condition of some rooms and bathrooms now appears to be lagging behind.
Would I return? Only if I knew improvements and refurbishment work had been carried out. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with reservations. I would certainly make friends and family aware that while the location is first class, there are newer and better-presented hotels in the same area, and I would only consider the Sliema Marina if it offered noticeably better value for money than those alternatives.
Overall rating: 7/10.
Always spot on
What can I say, for us this hotel ticks all the boxes. Location is perfect, staff are outstanding always so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great with a beautiful view. We found this hotel 3 years ago and booked again this year, when we made the booking, they remembered us and offered us the same room , which was fantastic. We are already looking forward to going back next year. Keep us the good work Soffiane and team 👏
Super hotel
Great hotel on the front. Clean and tidy. Ideal location.
