Sliema Marina Hotel

L situación del hotel dentro de la isla de Malta

Habitación:-> Tan pequeña que casi no cabíamos mi maleta y yo. Un zulo, muy agobiante. Con una miniventata a un patio de un mentro cuadrado lleno de tubos y tuverías. -> limpieza: Inexistente: Estubo los 8 días sucia (No me refiero a algún pelo o un poco de polvo, estaba sucia de verdad). Es muy cutre. Más cutre que cualquier albergue, hostal, o pensión en la que haya estado. --> Hablé con el responsable del hotel pero no se hizo nada. lo más importante: en la habitación entraban cuando querían. Ejm. Un día mientras dormía entró el encargado del hotel, aunque le acababa de decir, que esperase un momento, entró con su llave. Otro día cuando volvía a la habitación salian el encargado y 2 chicas a las que las estaba enseñando mi habitación.

The reception staff were very helpful in terms of my questions, giving advice on how to go places around Malta.

The big problem for me was Internet access: I couldn't get the wi-fi access that was advertised on the top floor of the hotel and the card system was very expensive (ie 3 euros for 75 minutes, 2 euros for 20 minutes, but was never for the full amount, always less). Moreover, the location wasn't ideal for me, as I was in Malta for work and had to go back to the capital Valletta to go anywhere. Next time I'll stay in Valletta as the surrounding district of Sliema is pretty run-down and there's not much to do, ie. no real beaches or historical sites to visit.

I liked the room, food and staff. I was made to feel very welcome

no english channels on TV

The room was very small, me and my cabin bagage and it was full. It seems to be a place not reformed since 80s, and it need it. Very old and cracked forniture and toilet. Breakfast options are very poor.

La ubicación

La limpieza ( sobre todo la moqueta daba un poco de asco) , la habitacion era muy triste daba al patio interior y la cama no era nada confortable se te clavaban lo muelles del colchon era viejisimo, me levantaba cada mñana con dolor de esplada, ah y la terraza de la planta nueve con jacuzzi no existe.

Location, in front of Sliema Sea, it's located in a very animated street with lots of cafés and terraces.

Unfortunately, almost everything. Small elevators, a bedroom with accepts (alcatifa) (which is no longer used), very few light, very bad matresses (bad for your back) with no dais (estrado), no remote control for TV, bathroom with no bidet, just a small light, no water pressure in the bath and in the washing closet, poor breakfast and everywhere we go a bad smell of fried food mixed with mold (mofo) of a building and structure that has not followed tourism evolution and minimum conditions to be given to its clients. It seems Marina Hotel has stopped in time. Not to repeat, not to return, not to advise to anyone, that's for sure.
