Plevna Hotel, Sliema

Advantages: Right on the sea front
Disadvantages: None

...a personal touch and were very friendly. We would certainly returm to this hotel if we ever come back to Malta. The resort of Sliema is a harbour (no beach) & has a large shopping area with great shops (including M&S) If you want more just jump on to a very reliable bus service every few minutes which cost only pennies to Valetta (Even bigger shops) Sliema has many bars and was a good starting point for excursions. We would recommend going between June and Aug if you want guaranteed sun. Overall a great holiday made even more special by the hotel.... Read review

Besides, Sliema is one of the best places to stay on the island, if not THE best. 2. The hotel in general, and the rooms in particular, were not as comfortable or modern as the photographs on the hotel's official website indicate. Technically, everything was as described, but the pictures suggest that the Europa is something much more than it really is. It was a real shock to discover just how far the reality deviated from the hype. 3. I specifically booked a five person room, through a popular hotel booking website, because it was only marginally more expensive than... Read review
