we arrived at the Maria Hotel on Fri 25th May 2012, myself and my fiancee found the hotel very clean and modern, boutique room was lovely, and our sea view was out of this world. all staff were very friendly, housekeeping came in every day and did an excellent job, towels changed every day too. area was very nice, we...

Just returned from Malta, 7 nights at the Marina. The hotel seems to have changed owners recently and our experience was generally positive. I had requested a seafront, high floor by e- mail through the booking.com site... plus a follow up re: a fridge in the room. The hotel had no record of the emails but the receptionist, Taylor, was...

My wife & I stayed here for 10 days from mid-April in a centre sea view room. The hotel has recently changed hands, none of the previous staff have been retained but the new staff are friendly & helpful. The reception & cafe areas have been totally refurbished with much lighter, modern decor. The rooms too have been given a... More

Like most, I only write reviews for hotels I deem particularly bad.. and this was definitely bad. This hotel seems to succeed in misleading customers about their good points, but don't be fooled. This hotel is an embarrassment to Maltese tourism, and quite possibly the one of the worst places I've stayed. First off, note that the room images on... More

I don't normally write reviews, but this was so bad I feel compelled. Firstly, despite booking double room, I was put in a single, which was dirty, had no window and is the size of a cupboard. When I complained, they said they had no other room, so I took it but said I wanted a refund. They asked why... More

Put in a tiny room to start with more like a broom cupboard, plenty of emtpy bigger rooms available and we were moved after complaining. The bathroom was dated and had no hand towels, the shower water took ages to drain away, room heating didnt work, just felt dirty. Continental breakfast was very limited without even a toaster. Only the... More

Ok, it's 3 stars but the location is fantastic.. Everything is just within steps! Buses, tourist coaches, shops, banks everything! Some people have said it was dirty,, not any more. Breakfast is OK, a toaster, proper tea and maybe a few tomatoes or cucumber wouldn't harm.. but eggs, ham and cheese plus a collection of cereals are good enough for... More

We are a couple and stayed for 4 nights. The rooms and lobby have recently been reworked, so probably it is the best moment to go before it gets worn down again. Definitely you have to pay the extra for the sea view, otherwise it is not worth it. Very well located if you want to sleep at Sliema: just... More

Small rooms with poor bathrooms, all around dirty, only the location is acceptable
