Soreda Hotel Reviews

This is the second time we have stayed at the Soreda Hotel. What returned to this hotel for it’s quiet location and the friendly nature of all staff. As soon as we arrived, we noticed manychanges. The décor in the reception lobby area had changed considerably – more elegant. Making our way to our room we commented that the hotel must have had a refurbishment programme in place as the common areas and our room were designed in different colour schemes to what we knew. I Liked it. I understand that hotels age quickly because of the volumes of tourists and turnover of the rooms. Also was pleased to see that the Dining Room carpet has been removed and new Table linen displayed. Our room was cleaned daily and bed linen and towels were changed regularly and when we asked for the fridge to be stocked as a mini-bar. Service was great. Housekeeping staff were brilliant. We prefer to seek out our own entertainment but there were a couple of occasions when we lingered to see what it was like. Karaoke, disco dancing and Maltese folklore: Not exactly our cup of tea. But most residents seemed to be enjoying themselves. Many Maltese also come to be entertained on a Saturday evening. This made the place very busy but it also gave us an opportunity to gchat with a few of the locals. Such a small island and nearly 400,000 of them! We had a room facing into the courtyard and some of the balconies are very close with each other. It would have been a bonus to have a room with a view. However, my idea of a holiday is to go out, explore and meet the locals, and should I wish to chill on the balcony, I am usually reading. Swimming pool - good. There was a lack of sun-loungers -We asked at reception and the matter was solved. The pool is not massive and I would imagine that in summertime it would be very busy. However, because I am not keen on late morning or early afternoon bathing, when the heat gets unbearable, the pool was nice and quiet. Now that we have been on holidays before we know that hotels employs a two-week menu rota. Although it is not the Petrus, it is absolutely fresh & tasty. One thing that was annoying initially was the construction goings-on nearby. I have to say that unfortunately, on this little island there are building sites in most of the areas ie., Sliema, Bugibba etc.Having read some reviews, we were a apprehensive, however, there were occasions where I have seen tourists behaving shamefully. Read all reviews with a pinch of salt

We would like to commend all staff for making our stay a very pleasant one.

Special thanks go to Claude and his assistant at the Bar, who were always so cheerful, friendly and polite.

Dinner was something to look forward to. Complements to the Chef and his team for setting up such wonderful and tasty meals.

Lastly, a big thank you to the staff in the Housekeeping department. They do a wonderful job in the rooms. Highly commendable
