The Maltese Sun is a fabulous B&B in the heart of Sliema. Within easy reach of some excellent restaurants and close to public transport. The B&B is spotlessly clean throughout. The buffet breakfast is fabulous. Jessica, in reception, and the rest of the team are amazing. Thank you.

Great location, short walk to waterfront and maybe 10 mins to all the restaurants but in a quiet neighbourhood. Great reception, room was spotless, comfie bed and pillows! The rate included breakfast which was really nice and fresh - staff at breakfast were lovely! Served on rooftop terrace which we really enjoyed. Staff super responsive to any queries. Highly recommend!!!

Very lovely stay at the Maltese Sun. Breakfast on the terrace was great. The hotel looks better than the photos on the website. The bathrooms are nicely remodeled. Only thing is the common areas are hot and the drinking water is also hot.

YAZBEK, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Solo traveller. Stayed here for a week 27 Sept to 4 Oct 2025. Room was comfortable and looked to have been recently redecorated. En-suite appeared to be very new. Large TV with Netflix. Large wardrobe. Kettle and tea/coffee replaced daily. Room was cleaned daily. Comfy large bed and pillows. Nice breakfast served on the rooftop terrace. Eggs cooked to order, selection of cheese, breads etc. Tea, coffee, juice. Location is great, relatively short walk to Sliema marina and ferries to Valletta or St. Juliens and St George’s in other direction. Stayed in room 1 which was next to main entrance so some noise with other guests coming and going, but generally very quiet. Tip: Reception staff leave at 3pm so if arriving after this make sure to get the door codes in advance or the guest in room 1 might have to let you in! :)

Hanho, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay. The hotel is located on the quieter streets behind the main road down at the waterfront which made it feel very peaceful. The room was clean and generous, a little bit of a damp smell in the wardrobe. But all in all it was great value and exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the breakfast.
Sarah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A vintage hundred years old building, modernized in a way that suits all the needs of the guests. A great rooftop terrace, common kitchen area, wi-fi signal and an impressive authentic interior, feels like walking in a museum. Very friendly staff and a superb experience. Everything you need for a short or a long stay.
Tamer, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect for the price, clean and comfortable

Highly recommend, very clean, comfortable and not too expensive! It was a last minute booking, checking in was easy, even though there was no one there at check in, we called and they gave us a code to enter and our room was available. Staff was very friendly, I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name working reception but very helpful, courteous and made us feel very welcome. Location is great as well!
