I stayed 1000 hotels in my life never saw such a thing!! why even give an effort to book a sea side hotel u can not even have a little sky sight !!!! 4 days could not sleep well, plus no wifi only in lobby, the pool in the picture is not in the hotel ıt s somewhere else and so crowded ı just saw and left in 1 second!!! If there ıs a fire u will be dead in this room and as a joke they put a fire blanket in case of fire !!! Always smell wet nothing dryies because lack of light. Just terrible.

We booked 2 months in advanced and we couldn't get two rooms side by side. They were on separate floors. The front desk guy who checked us in was not friendly. He didn't even say hello. We were given rooms by the ice machine and water filling station so ice was always scattered by our door on the floor. It was a tripping hazard. The ice machine was getting mold and rust around it too. Our sink was flooding and it took them hours to do anything about it.

The pool is a public pool across the street and it's not as big as advertised. Our rooms always smelled bad when we turned our AC on, like moldy filters that haven't been changed ever. Breakfast was included but it was sub-par. The water cups smelled like body odor was rubbed into the cups. Dinner was not good so we left and went across the street to Felice for a much better dinner.

The cleaning guy took our room key that was used to keep things charging in the room. When we asked him why he took it, he shrugged.

Not sure why this place had good reviews.

Avoid this hotel. The staff are amazing (from front desk to cleaning) but there is no pool at this hotel. The pool pictured is a public pool across the road that hotel guests have access to. Including the pool in the hotel pictures is misleading. There were constant power outages every day that affected the TV and wifi. Smoking in the room isn’t allowed but my room had a strong cigarette stench to the point of giving us headaches. It was disgusting. The location isn’t great, avoid Gzira all together. Stay in Valletta. Also two of the 4 elevators they had stopped working causing long wait times. They also had renovations going on in shared spaces. This hotel is badly maintained and of low quality. The rooms are so small. The hotel was so bad, it tainted my trip to Malta. Do not book this hotel or you will regret it.

Vi bodde i ett rent och snyggt standardrum. Sista kvällen slutade vår ac att fungera, killen i receptionen ordnade ett nytt rum åt oss kl 00.30. Det är vi jättetacksamma för! Det finns vattenstationer på flera våningsplan så man har möjlighet att fylla på sina flaskor. Frukosten är ganska tråkig och kaffet odrickbart. Men i det stora hela är vi väldigt nöjda med vår vistelse.

Best thing was the view of the water and Valetta The room was clean but extremely small.
The air con could not be adjusted so it would get cold to leave it on at night but the room would heat up as soon as you turned it off. The hotel didn’t have its own pool, but shared the public pool across the road which the hotel offered for free if you were lucky enough to get a lounge and umbrella. Breakfast was very average. A bit expensive overall.

Good location! Not actually in Sliema but close enough. Located near lots of bars Ave restaurants and can take the ferry to lots of places including gozo and that’s right across the street. The pool in the pics is the pool club across the street. It’s super nice but crowded because others can visit not just hotel guests. The family room was good for us. The elevators were having issues the entire time but luckily we were on the 1st floor. Overall I would recommend but def not what I expected from the photos. We did have a great view from our room.

We stayed in Room 621 at 115 The Strand for six nights. Unfortunately, the room was quite small, with very limited space. The bathroom had no bench space for toiletries, and there was no hairdryer provided.

Our room was located in the extension section of the hotel, which was accessed via a fire escape stairway. It felt quite disconnected from the main hotel, and the room itself seemed a little unfinished, particularly the balcony area.

During the majority of our six-night stay, one of the hotel’s lifts was out of service. The remaining lift was extremely slow, which often meant long waits and was quite inconvenient, especially during busy times.

On the positive side, the room was serviced every day and was kept clean by housekeeping. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the stunning waterfront view overlooking Valletta—it was absolutely beautiful and made waking up each morning a pleasure. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a good selection and was a great way to start the day.

Overall, while the spectacular view, daily housekeeping, and breakfast were definite positives, we felt the room itself and some of the hotel’s facilities could benefit from improvement.

We were very lucky to receive an upgrade to a sea view room which was great. The superior room we booked for 3 was spacious.
Breakfast was pleasant and staff were very helpful and kind.
Location is perfect for a visit to Malta where you want to explore as you’re in the centre of everything.
Biggest downfall for me was the fact this hotel advertises an outdoor pool, and it is the main photo when advertising the property. However, the pool is infact not on-site and is across the road at an independent pool club (which you have free entry to) but is open to the wider public. This is very misleading if you want to use a pool exclusive to hotel guests/like an early morning swim (this pool didn’t open til 10)

Our room was classed as a Superior city view, but was dark with a small balcony overlooking a narrow side street. The room was clean and comfortable but nothing outstanding. The breakfast was mediocre, with no variety day on day. Usual lukewarm basic selection although you can request to have it in the Executive breakfast room on the top floor which has outside seating and wonderful views. Disappointed that there is no outdoor pool, but you do have free access to Aqualuna across the road. Also disappointing is that there are no outdoor areas to sit or any bar or restaurant facilities during the day. The staff are lovely and friendly and the location is great, but I think there are better options along the seafront in Sliema.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, especially with the beautiful waterfront view from the balcony. It was wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
The room was comfortable, clean, and served its purpose well. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with any questions we had.

The hotel offered free Wi-Fi, which was appreciated, but it was a bit annoying that we had to log in again every time our phone locked or disconnected. It wasn't a major issue, but it could definitely be more convenient.

The only downside was the complimentary breakfast. After trying it on the first day, we decided not to use it again as the quality was disappointing.

The hotel is conveniently located near the ferry terminal, making it easy to visit Valetta and other nearby destinations. It was also a short and inexpensive Uber ride to other cities and attractions in the area.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for its excellent location, beautiful views, convenient access to transportation, and outstanding staff.

We stayed in a family suite at 115 The Strand for 1 week with our 10 month old however, we were disappointed by some aspects of our stay.

• On our first night, guests in the room opposite (also a family suite) were partying loudly and banging on our door at 5am, which was distressing, especially travelling with a young baby
• The shower needed fixing multiple times to work properly (too hot for an adult, never mind a baby, and very low pressure).
• The cot mattress was heavily stained and had to be covered before we could use it for our baby.
• The kitchen & bathroom were significantly smaller than shown in the listing photos & weren’t very suitable for a family stay.
• Breakfast was limited with minimal changes and few healthy options, and was not particularly suitable for young children.
• At the Aqualuna pool, we disappointed to learn that the larger sunbeds (which would have been more suitable to use with our baby) charged €50 per day even with a hotel guest discount. Many remained empty throughout the day.

Taken together, the hotel has felt considerably less family-friendly than we hoped. We tried to address our concerns with the manager during our stay but received no response.

On the positive side, all staff were extremely helpful & responsive, which we genuinely appreciated.

Location was great too and had a lot of restaurant options nearby and I was able to travel to all different areas of Malta for cheap and with ease. Even though the outside area was busy with other tourists and cars, you couldn’t hear anything in the room and it was quiet in the building.

I found the hotel to be quite nice - very comfortable bed. Had a frustrating experience with room assignment, being lodged in another hotel for one night of my 3 night stay. Staff were pleasant and accommodating but this was not ideal for a short trip. Breakfast was good. The rooftop terrace was quiet - sunbeds only. The outdoor pool pictured is not the hotel's pool which is quite misleading. It is nice but expect music and crowds. External food/drinks are also not permitted. I could not find the indoor pool. There is some constitution ongoing nearby (April 2026). The hotel's location is well situated for a number of bus routes and the ferry to Valletta.

The photos are incredibly misleading. The pool and sunbathing area shown in the pictures are actually offsite. The real hotel pool is tiny with only a few loungers, which honestly made me feel cheated. I also ended up getting a rash after using the pool - don’t think it’s used or cleaned often.

Breakfast was painfully basic; by day two I skipped it completely. One type of egg every single morning (scrambled) and very little variety overall.

I’ve travelled all over the world and understand this wasn’t a luxury booking, but the gap between the advertised photos and reality was shocking. I would never stay here again.

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.

Had a very comfortable stay at 115 The Strand staff were all very friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable stayed in economy room which had no view/outside space but that was my chose and as hotel full and didn’t realise how much I would miss having somewhere to sit outside , didn’t use the indoor pool next to sauna/steam room which was small and more a dipping pool as not big enough to swim in but on a cold wet day I presume would be quite nice to chill by, the outdoor pool across the road was a big bonus though . Breakfast was enough to start the day with a small selection of cereal, fruit, continental and English breakfast and in the evening the breakfast are became the bar . There was a small shop attached to the hotel that stayed open late and a restaurant which I didn’t use .
Not much of down side except if your really fussy shower was a little hit and miss with getting the heat settings right , breakfast could be very busy but that what you would expect and although the staff would try their very best to keep up with cleaning tables and topping up the food, it could get a congested and the floor would get very dirty and I presume it may have been dust off the road or off the roof would blow around and land on your food if you sat outside but the view made up for that.
In all I would like to say lots of bad things about my stay to keep this hotel to myself but the at would be selfish as would definitely stay again .

Pro’s great staff, cleaning of room big shout out to Ivanka for that, lovely hot shower, Great position but noisy at times but ideal for catching ferries and excursions, great views from roof top, good selection for continental style of breakfast,pastries, juices etc although limited cereals. The cooked food for breakfast however was barely warm which was a shame as tasty otherwise. We were in the executive lounge for breakfast. All the public toilets in the hotel were immaculate.
Cons- The room smelt damp on arrival and the bathroom was extremely small, there was so little room you had to sit on the toilet sideways which was not ideal, however the balcony was nice. Iced water was also available which was a nice touch.
Drainage smells also coming up in the bathroom at times which was not pleasant and no extraction fan which caused condensation to form on windows. Lot of noises at night so not sure if this was the lifts or the toilet system.
The best part of this hotel is the staff who always go out of their way to be helpful and nothing is too much trouble, they were amazing.

Big positive: Breakfast buffet in the Grana Restaurant. Loads to eat and drink. Full English or continental or both!
Big negative: We went in February and the aircon was set to heat to 25°C (I keep my home at 18°C). I asked how I could turn it down and was told it's controlled centrally so not possible to control individual rooms, a decision which baffles me. Had the air con off the whole time, but it was warm, and we had an internal room so no air flow at all. I asked reception to provide a fan, but they said they didn't have any. Why on earth don't they let guests choose the temperatures in their own rooms??

We booked a superior twin room on the 25 th of March, when the booking came back there was no assurance of the twin room so I contacted the hotel and they sent me an assurance of a twin room, on the 26th march.
On arrival at the hotel on Dec 4th we were initially given a king size room, no 319. on questioning this and showing them the assurance of a twin room they said they did not see this e-mail ,they then had the audacity to say that the room was now ready which sadly was the same room with the two beds still together but made up as two singles with the same bed head.Not a twin room as assured. On questioning this later the gave us every excuse under the sun. We eventually walked away disgusted.
NOT A TWIN ROOM and certainly NOT a Superior room.in fact it was one of the smallest rooms on the floor!

Utterly disgusted and will posting this on their sight for others to see.

I stayed here for 4 nights and from day one the AC wasn’t working after complaining a few times I was told it’s because it’s winter but it gets so hot inside the room. I had to sleep with the balcony open which was so noisy because the hotel is on the road, one sleepless night. They did provide me with a fan which was helpful. I hope hotels start mentioning that the AC will be off during winters. Specially if it’s countries which are still hot during the winters. The shower was so small that you could hardly move. The bedding was stained a bit which I didn’t make a fuss about. The rooms are definitely not soundproof. I could hear everyone talking in their rooms. The only thing I would say was good was the convenient location, a minute away from buses both ways. Shops around and loads of restaurants around.

The best aspects of my stay were that room was clean and the location was perfect. Everything else was just mediocre. The breakfast was decent at best (the eggs were not great and the orange juice was watered down). The heat was not turned on at the hotel my first night there despite it being the end of November. They finally turned it on by my second day there (people must have complained). The staff was only moderately helpful, basically, everything was basic at best. The worst thing about my stay was the bed. The bed was as hard as a rock. I couldn't believe how uncomfortable the bed was.

From start to finish, our stay was exceptional.
Check-in was smooth, and although we were initially given a first floor room, the staff happily moved us to a fifth floor room with a balcony, no hassle at all. The rooms were very comfortable, but the real standout was the staff, super friendly, helpful, and truly fantastic, thank you to you all. Having access to the pool across the road was a great bonus and made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone planning a stay in Malta who doesn’t want to be in the heart of Valetta old town.

This hotel is ideally located on the promenade in sliema. Rooms are adequate and comfortable. Front desk staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Breakfast seems to be a bit of a dog and pony show. We ate at the upstairs restaurant our first morning and it was excellent!! Later that day we noticed that the restaurant downstairs (Grana) also had breakfast. So we asked if there was a difference between the two and were told no. We were then asked if we wanted to reserve our breakfast table for the next morning. We said sure, is it ok if we eat upstairs? Answer was sure no problem. Fast forward to the next morning, we go to breakfast at seasons upstairs and are told we're not on the list but no problem come on in. While we're getting our food a staff member then approaches my wife and basically berated her that we weren't supposed to be there and that for today it's okay but not for tomorrow. Firstly, customer service 101...DO NOT EVER BERATE A CUSTOMER...
ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOOD LINE IN FRONT OF OTHER GUESTS. This behaviour should not be tolerated by management. If it wasn't for this experience, the hotel would have gotten a mich higher review. Will never return

The room and the hallway had a terrible smell, like sewage. When we arrived, they tried to trick us and send us to a hotel far from the main attractions. When we refused, they put us in a room that was clearly one of the worst in the entire hotel.

The only positive point is the location — it’s perfect, close to several restaurants, shops, and the main tour departure points.

Staff at reception and breakfast were very polite and helpful. Good selection avaliable at breakfast ....the room, although not the best located, had everything you needed for a short stay and was left lovely and clean every day and the bed was very comfortable indeed.

No cold water in kitchenette till I did a minor fix.hot and cold taps reversed- notified front desk. They said they repaired it but didn’t
Body wash disoenser empty entire stay. Stuffy room with only “window” leading to alcove for pipes. Way overpriced considering room ambiance. Will avoid this chain in future. Small B&B’s are nicer, friendlier and significantly less expensive

Rooms were clean but can do with washing the floors as they are dirty. Good shops near by and restaurants to choose from. However the tour operator information is very inconsistent with bud times and your pick up.

Great Service, Great Location

The staff were friendly and service was immaculate from the very start of our stay to our departure. We had a room on 8th floor and it was super quiet, comfortable and fabulously clean (our room was cleaned every day which can be a rarity nowadays). There's a huge variety of food to choose from at the buffet breakfast and the food is delicious at Grana restaurant. A definitely worth having a dinner at the hotel. We received a free (sic!) welcome drink at the terrace bar on the 9th floor - amazing views across a bay towards Valletta and an excellent place to enjoy sunset. The hotel has a small 'dipping pool' (on the 8th floor) next to the fitness centre yet the bigger pool at Aqualuna across the road is free for hotel guests. The location of the hotel is ideal whether staying for a short trip or a longer holiday. There's direct airport bus service with a stop close to the hotel front door (1 min walk) and regular bus routes to the centre of Valletta (about 15 mins by bus). I warmly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again.

The hotel itself is great, it is in a great location and the free entry to the pool across the road is great, however the breakfast was very repetitive with the only option for eggs was scrambled, no jam only marmalade, maybe a little more selection would have made the difference, the rooftop bar only served beers in cans and in the two evenings we went they had limited stock however the view from the rooftop is spectacular .
The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great stay

Great stay at 115 The Strand Hotel, spacious comfortable clean room, good shower, bonus of balcony. Good breakfast plenty choice. Tea/coffee facilities in room replenished daily, water fountain on each floor convenient for topping up water bottle. Free access to Aqualuna opposite hotel which had a great pool, bar and food. Staff at hotel very friendly and accommodating, check out was at 11am but able to store my luggage at hotel and make use of Aqualuna for the day, hotel provided showering facilities on 8th floor. Overall fantastic stay for solo traveller highly recommend.

Nearly perfect but the choices for breakfast diminished as the week progressed. issues like the broken toaster, limited preserves, ever reducing choice of fruit etc. A shame really as everything else was top notch.
