The hype
Travelers love the sea views and the super-central location but are consistently let down by the noise levels and hit-or-miss cleaning.
The Londoner Hotel Sliema
$150-250/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a modern, adults-only crash pad right on the Sliema promenade and plan to spend your days exploring, not sleeping in.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Prime location directly on The Strand facing Valletta
- Adults-only policy (18+) keeps the vibe grown-up
- Walking distance to the ferry, buses, and endless dining
Snel Overzicht: A stylish but noisy pub with rooms above it—bring earplugs and lower your housekeeping expectations.
Beoordeeld door @TheWonderingEnglishman: I requested a high floor but got stuck on floor 3. The noise was unbearable—kegs at 6:50 AM and thin ceilings meant I heard everything. Only stay here if you want to be in the middle of the action and don't mind the noise. Honest 3/10 from me.

Reality check
The 'boutique' aesthetic crumbles when you look closely at the details—peeling paint, dusty corners, and a breakfast that many skip for local cafes.
- You are a heavy sleeper who stays out late
- You prioritize a sea view balcony over quiet
- You want to be steps from the Valletta ferry
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
6.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Reports of missed days and superficial cleaning (dust under beds).
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Complaints about moldy grout and hair in drains are frequent enough to be concerning.
- Maintenance: Wear and tear is visible. Peeling paint and leaky shower seals are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally acceptable, though some guests reported stained or worn towels.
- Odors & scents: Lobby can smell of pub food/grease; some corridors have a musty or damp odor.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a pool at The Londoner Hotel Sliema?
No. There is no pool on-site. Guests are directed to a 'nearby' lido or beach club, which may have an entry fee.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but it's served in the pub downstairs and reviews are mediocre. You might prefer a local cafe.
How bad is the noise really?
Bad. If you are on a lower floor, you will hear the pub. If you are on any floor, you might hear your neighbors. It is not a quiet hotel.
Is it close to Valletta?
Yes, the ferry terminal to Valletta is just a 5-minute walk across the street.
Does the hotel have a gym?
No. There is no fitness center on the property.
Can I bring my kids?
No, this is strictly an adults-only (18+) hotel.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk to 'Coffee & Strangers' for a proper specialty brew.
- ✨
The 'sea view' is worth the upgrade cost; the 'city view' often just looks at a concrete wall or alley.
- ✨
Don't rely on the 'airport shuttle' arranged by the hotel without comparing prices; Bolt or Uber is often cheaper.

💡The shower design often floods the bathroom floor due to poor drainage.
💡Housekeeping can be inconsistent—you might need to ask for fresh towels or toilet paper.
💡The 'balcony' in lower-tier rooms might just be a standing-room-only ledge.
💡You can hear the ferry horn from your room starting early in the morning.
