Sliema Hotel Reviews

sliema is very overpriced, other parts of malta are much better

Stay in Sliema,but thats all,as resorts go I would not really class it as one,it is just a shopping town with very few restaurants,mainly cafe bars.The town itself is like walking in an English high street,you name the shop and it is here .There is no beach just a promenade ,although it is very pretty with all the boats.Travel into St Julians for all nightlife and restaurants 5 minutes on the bus,costs only 47cents to anywhere on the island,bus service is excellent and the stops are right outside the hotel,although some of the busdrivers are completely insane but in a good way? Captain Morgan cruises are very good indeed would highly recommend,trip to Comino great ,take the speed boat trip to the caves,they are not up to much but the speedboat ride was class, very fast, great fun. Valletta,. visit during the day,visit the cathedral,very beautiful,dont waste your euros on the state rooms nothing worth seeing over in 5 minutes.Dont go to Valletta at night everything shuts. Nights spectacular trip was highly entertaining ,something different retold the story of the great siege of 1565 with real fight scenes,guns and horses etc. Sliema is not really a place to take young kids as they would get very bored very quickly.I loved the hotel but wished it had been in St Julians.

Malta is a lovely place, nice people, loads of places to see. We travelled on the "Malta buses", cheap and do get you to places even if they sound as if they are going to conk out any minute. A must is going to a Fiesta, these are celebrations in different villages for their churches. Fireworks galore. Or you could hire a car, as they drive on the same side of the road as us in the UK, its not a daunting to drive there.

malta is more about history then beaches or night life very quiet but friendly plenty of shops but found it quite expensive compared to spanish resorts

See my previous review for Metropole Hotel. Parking is even worse for this hotel as it is literally on the main road. Visited for my Aunty's funeral so didn't really have the time to look around the resort again. Bus drivers are miserable too, but if you drived on Maltese roads for a living you would be too.
