Gzira Hotels with Kitchens

"The hotel had some good aspects, but overall the stay was disappointing considering the expectations for the suite category. Before arriving, I emailed well in advance requesting a room on a higher floor. Unfortunately, this request was completely ignored. Although the suite category I booked extends up to the 5th floor, I was placed on the 2nd floor. The balcony faced very closely toward some run-down local housing, which made it uncomfortable to even keep the curtains open, so I couldn’t really use the balcony at all. See picture! Another issue was the air conditioning. The room never became properly cool, and it felt humid throughout the stay. After I reported it, staff came to inspect the AC and confirmed that it was centrally limited to 22°C. Despite acknowledging the issue, nothing was done to improve it. The bathroom fan was also extremely noisy. Sound insulation is poor — I could clearly hear neighbors talking and even snoring through the walls. Service was another weak point. None of the reception staff I interacted with felt particularly friendly, welcoming, or service-minded, which negatively affected the overall experience. On the positive side, the location is quite good, the gym and sauna are decent, and having washing machines available on every floor is very convenient. The rooms are spacious, and the kitchen setup is good as well. Overall, the hotel has potential because of the room size and facilities, but the lack of service, poor soundproofing, and uncomfortable room temperature and room and balcony view."

"Hotel bardzo dobry i godny polecenia. Bardzo wysoki poziom i pełen profesjonalizm na każdej płaszczyźnie. Jestem niezwykle zadowolony z pobytu, tym bardziej iż w cenie otrzymałem apartament znacznie większy i o wyższym standardzie. Obsługa miła, sympatyczna i bardzo pomocna. Warto 😀"

"This stay was for an early start at the airport and to be able to attend a concert the previous evening so it only needed to be clean and safe. Which it was. The corridor is not carpeted so there was some noise from wheelie luggage passing but ear plugs sorted that. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and the wifi worked. For the price I got exactly what I wanted so the outlook onto an internal stairwell was irrelevant. I would consider this for a future stay for the price under 40e."

"Review: 115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective Stayed: May 16–19 The location of the hotel is excellent — very convenient for getting around, and check-in was smooth. We stayed in Room 609, which was a standard room, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The room felt very small and the decor was dull and depressing. The bathroom was extremely tiny — even for two petite women, it was uncomfortable. Sitting on the toilet, your knees almost touch the sink, and the shower space is so tight you can barely turn around. The hallway had a musty smell, possibly from water leakage. Overall, the room experience was not pleasant. The lobby staff were not very helpful. They didn’t tell us about the facilities on the 8th floor — there’s a small sauna, jacuzzi, and a tiny indoor pool. If I had known earlier, I would’ve taken advantage and enjoyed some time there despite the limited size. That said, the rest of the hotel facilities were much better. The rooftop restaurant was a highlight — the food was delicious and the views were beautiful and uplifting, especially during breakfast. A big bonus was access to the outdoor pool at Aqualuna Malta just across the street. I spent two lovely days there enjoying the ocean view with a bottle of Prosecco — very relaxing. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but only if I can book a better room. The location and facilities are great — just be aware of the room quality and ask about all the amenities upfron!"
