    Perfect location. A 10min walk away from st.julian’s and a 12min walk away from the ferry boat to Valletta. A really safe area, so close to the bay! My room had a sea view from out the window at no extra cost. Fresh towels every day and changed bins - like an actual hotel. For the price, i cannot complain!

    The toilet had flies in it. I think they came from the shower drain. Could hear people in hall.

    Really comfy bed

    There should be more space at the breakfast room because some days it was quite crowdy.

    Very good location in Sliema, close to bus stops, you could go everywhere! Friendly hotel staff. At the check out they offered us chocolates 😊

    Nothing

    The staff were very helpful and it was a nice quiet location. Also very close to the seafront and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. A good central location for the marathon event I was taking part in.

    The noise throughout the night was very disruptive, with constant banging sounds, similar to a boiler reheating or an AC unit. Earplugs are essential for a good night's sleep. The view from the window was disappointing—just a wall covered in AC units, making the air dusty and the room quite dark. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a kettle and mugs or glasses in the room. Alternatively, you could provide a shared area, such as the common or breakfast area, where guests can access a kettle, toaster, and microwave.

    Early check in, very friendly and helpful staff, location is brilliant, simple but good breakfast, cozy rooftop sitting area on the 7th floor! Very good price!

    The room had a strange smell. I assume it was due to the damp walls. Breakfast was the same every day.

    Great location, and great value for money.

    We'd make a few recommendations to improve the hotel. Firstly, the advertisement needs amending to properly reflect the location and views, though the location is a short walk and handy for bus and public transport etc. Our initial room was smelling of damp, so we told reception and they quickly remedied this and we are very thankful to the staff for being so accommodating. However our subsequent rooms' bathroom did also have a slightly strange smell. In addition to this, it appears the room change was not communicated as we were awaken late at night by other guests who had also been allocated our room. Lastly, please put a second lock or chain on the bedroom doors to improve security. Overall we are happy and a good location for visiting all areas of Malta. Thanks again - breakfast and staff serving breakfast were clearly working very hard.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, and delicious and varied breakfast. Location was good and price was reasonable, the hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable.

    clean and quite hotel with great location but with bad room air ventilation

    Although the cleanliness of rooms was great, the air in the rooms was bed. My room didn't have normal window view on street but on the interior of the building with some installations and air conditioners. So to have some fresh air was bad and I don't know how the hotel can change that.

    Staff, location, cleanliness of rooms and the breakfast were great. Just around the corner is a church of St Patrick with the masses on English. Bus station to Valleta and to the north are few minutes walk. Lidl and some pharmacies are also very near.

    The water boiler kept us awake first night, but it’s something that you can get used to and stop hearing after a day or two.

    I highly recommend staying at the Howard Hotel. It has a great bus connection from where you can travel to different parts of Malta. We enjoyed breakfast, because you have a variety of options of food and beverages. The staff was helpful, communicative and most importantly friendly. The rooms were clean, provided with toiletry products, towels, a kettle and cups.

    They close the main area and the reception at 11pm, so if you have a flight very early in the morning (5-6am), there is nowhere you can really leave your stuff.

    The hotel was very close to the bus station (3 minute walk) and the Tigné Viewpoint (10 minute walk). The staff was quite friendly and helpful in providing overall recommendations. The room and the bathroom were very clean (they even changed the bathroom towels from one day to the other) and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly fine. A single room is a bit small, but you will do just fine as long as you do not have very high expectations. Overall, this is probably one of the best places I have stayed in as a single traveler.

    Short on hot water

    I stayed in small double room which was comfy and clean and very wuiet on the back of the hotel which I loved. Got maid service daily with plenty of towls. One bit of peve the hot water was very short on supply or rather the individual watertank was very small and if you wanted proper shower had to be done with lukeearm water. Breakfast wasn’t included altho advertised as on offer between 8-10am, were individualy wrapped pasteries, some fruit and tea/coffe. On s whole good experience . I would rebook the property.
