Nice stay with good choices for breakfast. Convenient for the buses with the 13,13a, 14 and 16 into Valletta. Bed not the most comfy. 2 occasions when room service knocked on unexpectedly to replace water even starting to open the door, which wasn’t appreciated. Despite this would stay again.

The hotel was really lovely. The rooms and facilities are all well maintained. The staff are all very friendly and willing to help.
The one thing I would urge people to consider; if you are in a room with an adjoining door to another room, perhaps only stay here if your family/friends are on the other side as you can hear everything.

We had a great stay as a family of 3 (with a 6 month old baby). The hotel was very accommodating and provided us with a crib. The room and property were very clean. They only have the air conditioning on once it gets a bit hotter, but they were able to provide us with a fan as the week we were there was warmer than usual for the season.

Hotel its self for a boutique was very good and for the price was very reasonable! Staff were attentive via the app. And each night you would get asked if you need anything. The spa and gym were very good too - not huge but was good enough for a short weekend break. Breakfast was mediocre- scrambled eggs were horrible and sausages tasted cheap so that is my only complaint. The rooms were clean only issue I had was mosquito in the room went to town on us so bring spray! It's close by to walk to the silema ferry port to take you to Valletta and you had shops and restaurants near by. Taxis via bolt and uber very cheap so get to st Julian's bay was like less than 10 minutes.

The room was spacious an well laid out. Unfortunately there was some problem with the fan that could not be repaired. A technician did come to our room to try to fix the problem but was unsuccessful and they ended up just giving us a portable fan (which was effective at keeping the air moving and dispersing the musty room smell).

Rooms were made up every day and new towels provided on request. The spa pool was a welcome relaxation and if it wasn’t so windy the roof top pool would have been fantastic

The standard room I booked was great. It was spacious, clean and quiet. I arrived during Storm Harry, so it was a lovely retreat when I couldn't leave the hotel. The birthday package came with fizz and was bright and colourful (I would change the dessert as it wasn't very nice). I liked the spa facilities despite missing out on the outdoor pools due to the weather (January for you, so this was expected!) and only wish the 'adults only' policy for the indoor pool was upheld.

3 days in, the room next to me flooded and the water seeped into my room, soaking my laptop charger and also rapidly flooding. At first, the response to this at reception wasn't the best, with no apology and lacking action and direction. Thankfully, when I came back down with my things haphazardly packed, Santiago kindly dealt with the room change. I received an upgrade to a large room, my dinner bill at the restaurant was paid for while I waited and he also made sure this new room was redecorated with the birthday details. So thank you 1926 team for rescuing things and making me feel happy to have booked!

We stayed here mid October and from arrival to departure we were treated exceptionally well. The staff went above and beyond. Our room 803(Deluxe) was kept very clean everyday by the housekeepers and our only comment was lack of set of drawers and a shelf beside the mirror in the bathroom. Thats why we left a tip for them. The location of the hotel was very convenient to both sides of Silema and would recommend to others and will definitely be back. Thanks for making our holiday great. Love Malta.

I had a horrible experience with not having any hot water during my stay. They just kept giving me the run around. Telling me the water doesn’t got hotter than like warm in all of Malta which was a conplete lie because by the time I was leaving the sorted it out. I was supposed to receive a refund and that never happened. My overall experience was terrible and I would never go back there or advise anyone else to go there either. Horrible service and the manager just hides from you so he doesn’t have to deal with the situation.

We booked a junior suite, the internal space was good but the balcony was very narrow no room for a table. We had to request extra hangers as there were only about 9 provided and there are no drawers. The water pressure was low & no mini bar. However the maids did an excellent job.
The breakfast was poor either cold boiled eggs which tasted slightly pickled or powdery tasting scrambled eggs were the only eggs on offer. Last orders at the bar 11pm. The beach club was good but busy, service was excellent there.

Need to get the basics right!

I would not consider this a 4 Star hotel as described. Although the front desk service was generally good, except for one occasion, and the beach club and pool were good, the quality and cleanliness of the rooms was not really good enough. We had booked a Superior room, but this was equivalent to a 3 Star Premier Inn in the UK.
In addition we had to be moved twice due to noise from the reception area and noise from the collection of laundry outside our bedroom window very early in the morning (05:30).
One of the rooms had nails protruding from the architrave and the fridge did not work and had to be replaced, and in another the drainage channel to the shower had collapsed.
The cleaning of the rooms was also not great, with marks on doors when we arrived not being cleaned for the whole of the stay in each room. In addition cups were left unwashed on a couple of occasions and complementary water and tea not topped up on a couple of occasions.

Warm Welcome, Great Location, and Thoughtful Touch

From the moment we booked, the hotel was in touch, making sure they had everything they needed for our stay. Check-in was smooth and quick, and the staff were welcoming from the first hello.

I had asked for a birthday surprise for my niece, and they made it happen perfectly — even tailoring it to meet our halal requirements. It’s those little touches that really make a difference.

The staff here are brilliant — friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to help. I’d definitely recommend using the hotel’s taxi service instead of Bolt or Uber. The cars are clean, spacious, and really comfortable. Our airport pickup driver, Omar, was polite and professional, making our arrival stress-free.

There was a small hiccup with our return transfer booking (caused by the hotel, not the taxi company), but Lucienne from the hotel sorted everything out. She suggested a better pick-up time, which meant I got an extra hour of sleep, and she got us to the airport in great time. She honestly saved the day.

The location is spot-on — walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront, with easy access to explore more of Malta. Our room was modern, big, and spotless, with everything we needed to be comfortable.

We felt looked after from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in Malta.

The hotel was in a good location with free access to a beach club and the room was kept extremely clean, thanks to staff Azam!

Unfortunately the pool is accessed via a booking system and during our 3 days there was no availability, we went up to the pool to check and the sun-beds were empty yet we were still told they were fully booked. This ruined my birthday as one of the reasons we booked this hotel was because it had a pool.

I have never given a 1 star review but this place deserved it — I’m not even sure where to start.

The noise: construction all hours of the day. The view from room is a construction site 10 feet away, terrible view and the loud banging in the morning is incredibly frustrating and makes it very hard to sleep.

Room: The bed was hard as a rock. Everything is done through an app, including unlocking and locking your room. We were locked IN our room for over 30 minutes on our first morning. It was extremely unsafe.

Amenities: They have a rooftop pool that was booked up everyday of our 5-day stay. However when we went to look at it, it was a TINY pool with a view of construction and cranes. The pool club was nice, but it was a bit further of a walk than advertised due to the construction.

All of the pictures on the site are of the pool club, not of the hotel, so it’s VERY misleading. Nor is the construction noted. We were so excited for this hotel (even had family come to stay and book rooms) but when we arrived, our jaws dropped. Definitely recommend looking up other hotels.

The hotel is fantastic, modern, clean with great facilities. The breakfast buffet was also good with plenty of options and the food was good quality. The staff were all friendly, polite and always happy to help. The hotel even puts on complimentary excursions, we went on two. The first was a walking food tour around Sliema, it was great to see the side streets away from the busy tourist strips and try some local food. The second was a vintage bus tour. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it far surpassed any expectations. The trip was around 4 hours and we saw parts of Malta that we otherwise would not have seen. I highly recommend anyone staying at the hotel to do this excursion.

Unfortunately there are building work everywhere in Sliema, including right next to the hotel. This makes it difficult to totally relax when using the rooftop pool due to the noise.

I cannot fault anything inside the hotel. Unfortunately the building work is unavoidable and outside of the hotel’s control. Had there of not been the building work, it would have been a perfect holiday.

What We Liked:

* The spa was excellent – relaxing and well-maintained.
* Enjoyed the Molton Brown toiletries – a lovely touch.
* The sushi was fresh and delicious.
* The staff working at the rooftop pool was particularly welcoming.
* The bus tour was a highlight – well-organized and a great way to explore.
* The bar was pleasant, though not extraordinary.
* The luggage staff were nice

Areas for Improvement:

* Dinner reservation communication was unclear, and we didn’t receive confirmation despite requesting it and had to ask again - then told we were on a waiting list - which is fine but the lack of communication was not great

* The complimentary wine was a nice touch, but when we politely asked to switch from red to white, the response felt rude and unnecessarily judgmental. A simple \"no\" would have sufficed.

* Our shower flooded on every use which made the bathroom uncomfortable.

* The reservation system seemed disjointed – cancellations via chat weren’t properly relayed to the pool team.

* The beach club felt run-down, and staff at the sunbed area were not welcoming

* The issue with credit not being pre-authorized and they held it saying itd be a holding charge but then they took the full payment out - we tried to resolve on checkout and was met with a condescending tone and minimal apology. There is also not enough explanation on why i was charged.

The hotel is very clean and modern with only hangong space and no drawers. My room was one of the smaller doubles and looked out onto building work which started before 8 most mornings so it was a bit noisy. The fiod at the beachclub is very good but it is a 5 minute walk away.

Don't recommend

For the price point I would not recommend this hotel. The room was very small. Lots of noise in the hallway and you can hear your neighbor in the other rooms. Breakfast was very very bad, very poor selection. The staff was good, location good. I think most people stay here for the pool club. This hotel does large tour groups, so many mornings the lobby and breakfast was over crowded. I would not recommend this hotel. There are many nice hotels in Malta for a better price and experience. There is currently a large construction project across the street, so if you have a room by the street you hear this construction.

Perfect spot, just check your room location!

The room was more basic then expected, it could do with a little paint. Our room was right opposite a building site so it was quite noisy in the mornings not great when arriving late the night before. It also meant we couldn't open the curtains or doors. Maybe a heads up to guests would be good. Otherwise the spa was great and treatments booked. As well well as the location, beachclub and breakfast.

A Real Let Down

The hotel try’s to market itself as high end but more 3 star. Interior finishes were poorly done and many small issues such as leaking roof in utility, broken door handle to bedroom terrace that could not be locked. The new App basically does not work when trying to book things and Whats App messages are removed if negative. Free benefits like roof top area impossible to book but if you are searching for a paid for service that is easy to achieve. After first night we disengaged and spent no further money with the hotel - just a place to sleep on a building site.

This hotel is lovely and you can tell it was design to be of a high standard but it is getting a bit worn. Lots of marks and patches up holes on the walls of the room, quick fixes to things like glass shower screens that have come out of place, etc… having said that the bed was extremely comfortable and clean.

We went over the bank holiday weekend in May, so appreciate it is the start of the season however the beach club with getting built around us with drilling, painting and stocking of the bar. It almost felt like we were getting in their way being there.

The staff though were extremely friendly and helpful, and I could speak more highly of them!

The place was nice enough, it was just so noisy. The reception is glass, marble and high ceilings - we were on the first floor and could hear talking, furniture moving all the time. Each of the 3 nights we stayed, we were woken at 3am by people coming in and talking loudly in reception and then again at 5am by furniture moving, maybe setting up the breakfast service.

7 nights in Malta

Summary

~€930 for 8 nights in a ‘Superior’ room at the 1926 (which includes breakfast buffet). Bit overpriced, but pros and cons average it out. As others have mentioned, be aware of ongoing construction before you book!

Pros

- Great friendly service, from reception to breakfast to cleaners
- Good location for Ferry to Valetta or buses in either direction. Also near to Spar/Lidl and a range of bars/restaurants.
- Decent Sauna/Steam rooms
- Comfy bed
- Excursions. Hotel offered food tour/trip to Mdina/Marslaxlokk. We didn’t attend these trips but could interest others
- Good hotel gym
- Cardless entry and self checkout

Cons

- Ongoing construction so noises start and end late, even on weekends
- Pools are very small. The one on the terrace is only 80cm deep. Not many sun loungers, and these all seemed to be reserved quickly
- small and few lifts
- small spa area and only opened between 8-8.
- terrace only opened between 10-4!!
- the check in form on the iPad is incredibly frustrating to fill out (selected dial code especially)
- we were next to the staff room and there was a lot of noise and chatter
- the rooms aren’t well soundproofed. Can hear neighbours shuffling chairs for example
- breakfast buffet choices are limited. There are extras on the a la carte menu.
- the flexible shower head was rough at the edges. I managed to scratch myself on the first use as I wasn’t aware initially.
- one big water bottle for the room for the entire stay

This is a decent hotel with a good breakfast. My bathroom extractor didn't work. There is building work on-going right next door to the hotel. They started work at 6:45 am. Also work going on, on Saturday mornings.
The staff are the best thing about this hotel - all very friendly and willing to help.

Lovely hotel. Great staff. The spa is amazing. The construction work opposite starts very early, but that is out of the hotels control. Will definitely return and have already recommended to friends.
