“Great hotel in Sliema”

We had a great experience at Hotel Plevna, Sliema, Malta. The staff were very friendly and could not have done more for us. As an example, we thought it would be useful to have hook on the back of the bathroom door to hang towels and clothes on and we made this suggestion to reception whilst on our way to breakfast. By the time we got back to our room, a hook had been fitted. The hotel is in a great location, close to all the shops, restaurants and bars and bus station in Siema. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to staying there again on our next visit.

“Would certainly stay here again.”

We took the B & B option so that we could explore the local cuisine in the evening. 'English' breakfast was available but we chose the continental style breakfast. Self service. Excellent selection of breads, cheeses and meats, together with fresh fruits and yoghourts, cakes and pastries, teas and coffees. Only complaint was that the fruit juice was not real juice. our en-suite room with balcony was clean and comfortable with excellent air-conditioning. There was no noise from traffic or corridors. We were just off the main street and only a few minutes walk from Sliema town centre, ferries and waterfront. Very convenient for scuba with Diveshack nearby. Good value, quality and service for the rating of this hotel.

“Great value for money”

I last stayed at the Plevna Hotel over 40 years ago, but with the demolition of the nearby Crown Plaza this is now the most conveniently located hotel in Malta for me. It is very simple but really good value for money. Having a private area with pool on the local beach is a great advantage, although charging guests for use of sun loungers there seems a little mean. I ate only breakfast at the hotel and this was very good an plentiful. The bar could do with cheering up, and with air conditioning but given that there are plenty of alternatives locally this was not a problem. Good television lounge with large tv which meant I did not miss Wimbledon. I will certainly go back to the Plevna.

“Excellent Value”

Given the 3* rating of this hotel, it represents excellent value. Yes the building is slightly run down in parts and could be done with a facelift but the hotel was very clean and comfortable. Our room was spacious with everything we needed and was cleaned thoroughly every day of our two week stay. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the service was certainly better than many 3* hotels. The breakfast wasn't amazing quality but was perfectly acceptable and there was such a huge selection of food everyone would find something they liked. The location is also ideal for the shops, restaurants and waterfront of Sliema and for accessing the rest of Malta. All in all we had a fantastic stay and were very impressed with the quality of this hotel given the price we paid.

“Plevna - cosy and comfortable”

The hotel completely lived up to its expectation. We were expecting friendly, family-like treatment (unlike the "factory" approach from the biggies) and that is exactly what we got. The staff at the reception were extremely helpful (one of them even offered her personal umbrella when it was raining). The room was clean and well maintained. The breakfast was adequate with personalised service from the manager making sure we were comfortable. Location is perfect with very close access to sliema ferry and shopping malls. The room that we were earlier booked into had some issues with the mattress and we were given a replacement room (of a higher quality) without any increase in the price. Perhaps an improvement point would be the aircon, which for some reason worked either intermittently or did not work, however it did not affect us as the weather was quite pleasant.

“Dated decor and broken fittings”

we knew it was only a 3 star hotel but I didn't expect a broken bed, a toilet window that didn't close, broken light fittings and dodgy lock on the patio doors. All matters were reported but the toilet window was not fixed. Hotel was in good location, breakfast was ok and service acceptable.

“Not impressed and overpriced”

Hotel was generally ok but just felt it was not worth the money. I paid about 85 per night for a family room and felt it was worth 40...Room itself was ok, reception was awful and nobody to help me with bags(i was alone with 3 young kids).On the positive, a short walk down the street is the swimming pool which looks onto the sea. Deckchairs were free but u had 2 actually pay for sunbeds.

“Cheap and Cheerfull”

Hotel Plevna was as I expected for the money that we paid. The hotel was clean enough, the bedroom was OK (apart from the shower maybe which was hanging off the wall but you get what you pay for and the water was hot) and there is a rooftop terrace with some tables and chairs and sunloungers. We were B&B, the breakfast was OK, we ate lunch at the pool bar a couple of times which was nice and you certainly get your money's worth of pasta! One bonus for us was that the hotel has free wi-fi downstairs (there is also free WiFi at Malta airport). The hotel is in a good location, 200 metres from the beach and long seafront pathway which leads around the bay into St Julians (with restaurants/bars along the way). The hotel pool area is on the seafront and there is also a kids play area before you get to the pool. The pool gets really busy on Saturdays and Sundays so if you are planning on doing a day trip somewhere do it on these days if you want to avoid not getting a space at the pool. There are plenty of places to eat and drink next to the seafront all which seem to be roughly the same price. The boat trips also leave from the port at Silema which is a 5min walk from the hotel. The area seemed pretty safe to us and we had no problems.

“Like staying in a school dorm with no supervision”

Overall the hotel was clean and functional. The biggest problem was that it was full of Italian students who decided to stay up until 5:30 am slamming doors and running through the corridors. Although our second night was quieter after complaining and being refunded for the inconvenience of the first night it is still a risk you take in booking this Hotel.

“Look for another hotel”

Me and my friend spent one night at Plevna hotel and there are only two positive comments I have - the location (close to St. Julian's, ferries and sightseeing bus pick-ups, etc.) and a surprisingly tasty selection of food for breakfast. The hotel looks old and shabby, the room was cold, the shower did not work properly and there was hair in it, the beds were uncomfortable, the balcony was not cleaned - there was an ashtray full of smoked cigarettes, something spoiled on the floor. There are better hotels for a similar price in Sliema.
