“Windsor Hotel, Sliema, Malta- February 2011”

Having stayed at the Windsor in January we knew what to expect. The only thing I would pick up on was, that after indicating we would prefer a non-smoking room, the corridor did smell quite heavily of stale smoke. The room was fine though. We did wonder however if we had been put on the 4th floor as there were a lot of Schoolkids on the lower floors and it was quieter on the 4th floor. For the price it is a very good Hotel with an excellent choice for Breakfast. We would also say the staff were helpfull and friendly.

“good hotel, not far from anything”

people were friendly, everything i asked for i got with no hastle, the hotel was just out of the way too much noise, but close enough that everything you needed was withing walking distance. prices were very reasonable.

“Quiet and Relaxing”

The Windsor Hotel is located a block away from the beautiful boardwalk of Sliema, Malta and only 15 minutes from the Sliema Ferries area and the water taxi to the capital city of Valletta. The Sliema area is quiet, relaxed, and beautiful. Walking along the boardwalk is a wonderful activity. The Hotel is very clean and restful, near to the sea and in a good, quiet location. The rooms are spacious (for European hotels) and are very comfortable. The real gem of the hotel is the restaurant (named "The Corner Restaurant") which offers full English breakfast (buffet-style) and a full dinner (also buffet-style). The half-board option is definitely worth the cost as the food is very well prepared. I would definitely recommend this hotel to visitors to Malta for its location, cleanliness, comfort, and restaurant.

“Pleasant, friendly, all necessities, warm and friendly staff.”

We booked this hotel for a week to find a permanent place to live in Malta. The staff greeted us with a smile and a much-needed drink after an 18 hour trip. Our room was large and quite adequate with two balconies and a lovely cross breeze. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The toilet gave us problems from time to time but was not that much of a bother as the staff came to fix it. The hotel has a comfortable lobby and small bar with internet service on two computers. All the comforts of home. I would recommed this hotel to anyone wanting to be in the thick of things in Sliema but tucked quietly away on a side street. Breakfast each day was adequate. Much catered to the British style of eating. All in all a pleasant stay.

“I would stay at The Winsor Hotel again”

I've stayed in a number of hotels in Malta and The Windsor was certainlyone of the better of them. Very good value for money also. Check in was smooth. Twin room was comfortable, fairly roomy with useful fridge, spacious wardrobe, very small balcony and a tv which you had to leave a deposit to use. Bed could have been firmer as was too soft toward the centre. A decent bathroom with air extracter, bathtub and showerhead. but a bit on the small side. The room was a bit on the cold side for April and the heating/cooling system did not make much difference. But generally the room was fine. (Although I did notice a creepy crawlly... But then in such a climate it's perhaps not so unusual). Self-Service breakfast In the hotel restaurant was good with a selection of fruit, cereals, continental and cooked items. It also served the general public. Some excellent additions are the Gym, sunroof and pool. There's also a jacuzzi and sauna. The lounge is large and in two halves with pay as you go Internet and a bar. There's also a games room in the basement. I would recommend The Windsor Hotel which has a very good location, (only two minutes walk to the promenade and waterfront). The nearby restaurants including Ta Kolina are excellent too.

“Fit for purpose”

I found The Windsor Hotel to be suitable for my needs, on my short 5 day break in Sliema. The room was clean and well aired, blackout curtains were great and there was plenty of hot water. Breakfast wasn't great and I would recommend Tony's Bar in the harbour rather than the Corner Restaurant. The staff at the Windsor were helpful eventually, although I did stand at the reception desk on a couple of occasions, while telephone conversations were completed! The roof pool was great for catching the sun and the indoor pool and hot tub, lovely for relaxing. The Windsor is situated towards the St Julian end of town and very close to the local bus route for St Julian's and Valetta. The lovely 20 minute walk from the hotel to the harbour is no hardship, giving easy access to water ferry, harbour cruises, lovely bars and restaurants. I would stay there again but go on a room only basis as there are much better places to eat.

“Good value, convenient location”

The Windsor is a good value for budget minded travelers, who aren't expecting fancy accomodations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, hotel was very conveniently located and clean. Room was small, and no frills, also hallway configuration and tile floors made noises echo. Breakfast was at the "corner" restaurant, which is connected to the interior of the hotel via elevator. Plenty of food choices, but mainly standard fare. If you're looking for a good base location in Malta, and aren't concerned with "extras", the Windsor will satisfy the basic needs with a smile, and be kind to your wallet.

“We would return some day.”

My husband and I were satisfied with all the services, except the fact that we could not use the TV for 7 days due to faulty remote controller, although it was not important for us. It seemed that the hotel staff did not have sufficient number of remotes available. The refrigerator was too small, in our opinion. The restaurant staff was very polite and made us welcome and comfortable.

“Good value for money”

The hotel is conveniently located about 50 meters from the water front with dozens of restaraunts and internet cafe nearby; there is even a convenience store across the street. The rooms and hallways are comfortable but not "high end." Its got the comfort of a 3 star hotel, nothing fancy. But for the price and location, its a super bargain. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful.

“Use it as a base!”

Stayed in July 2007 on a short break. Its clean, close to sea and town (for boat trips) and not 10 mins along the lovely prom to some very good restaurants. Ok its on a back street but trust me the street front can be very noisy at night! The rooftop pool area is perfect for catching the sun and having a dip which is where I spent most of my time and is not crowded. You can only get drinks at the poolside bar which was a pain having to get cleaned and dressed to go and eat lunch. Breakfast is in a cafe two doors away but is a full complement of hot and cold and lots of fruit. No tea or coffee facilites in the room but there is a mini mini bar plus there is a little shop opposute to buy water and snacks at more reasonable prices. Site photos show it in a very good light but the staff are very friendly and helpful so if you use it as a base it is a perfect place to stay.
