Bad furniture, ugly rooms, old beds, but clean, as clean something very old and broken can be. Anyway, room service daily and pleasant stuff. Also, good location, but too expensive for the service in general.

Honestly, just avoid. There are better hotels for the same price in the same area.

Decent - serviceable.

Incredible location. So many bars, cafes, shops and restaurants around. Very close to all public transportation (to and from airport, as well as all over the island.) The lobby/breakfast area and bar are all gorgeous. The gentleman working at the front desk when I checked in was so friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say is the property (well, at least my room) is slightly worn down. The air conditioning didn't really work in my room and it was very warm. The toilet didn't flush properly and the water ran. The wifi in my room was very weak and barely worked. However - the place is still VERY serviceable for a quick stay. Price is right, and had way more positives than negatives. Those were more just minor inconveniences. Oh, if you get the "sea view", it's fascinating. The balcony in my room was divine. Highly recommend that.

Här kommer mina tankar efter 5 nätter på hotel kennedy nova. + mycket trevlig personal, hjälpsam +platsen, perfekt för den som inte vill vara mitt i smeten i Valetta men samtidigt vill ha lättillgängligheten till allt. Fantastiskt placering då strandpromenad, båtar och massvis med restauranger var direkt utanför hotellet + nära till huvudstaden +lugnt område +billigt igenförelse med övriga hotell när jag bokade - dålig frukost , få alternativ speciellt för den med intolerans och dieter som vegetarian. - lyhört - trasiga saker på rummet och väldigt dammigt/smutsigt min allergi var värre än den varit på länge Rekommenderar trots allt för den som inte söker lyx och kan tänka sig en halvdant hotell men med alla andra fördelar. Observera att det inte alls lever upp till dina 4 hotell stjärnor

Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Quarto super limpo, café da manhã completo, com frutas, sucos, cafés, variedade de pães, croissants todos dias, bolos. Excelente. A localização é excepcional, acesso a todas praias fácil com transporte público e a vista do roof top simplesmente espetacular. A cama achei pequena e a piscina que não usamos tamv.

Hårlig utsikt, nära till det medta.

Trevligt hotell med bra frukost, bra poolområde på taket med en härlig vy mot Valletta och inloppet. Ett par minuters promenad till Färjan över till Valletta. Rent och fräsht hotell, trevlig personal. Enda att klaga på var väl att kalla det för balkong?? En liten balkong in mot en liten öppen yta och andra rum ett par meter ifrån. Fungerade att hänga badbyxor på. Annars kan jag rekomendera detta hotell.

Overall a good experience and so much credit must go to the gentleman managing the bar when a group of Turkish teens decided to do bombing in the pool when a lady and her young son were enjoying some peace and time together ( they left very upset ) but the manager of the bar dealt with them quick - also dealt with the youths playing football in the hall very quick . It’s hard to deal with these type of people and they can book anywhere but respect to them all for dealing with them very quick . The bed in 208 is extremely noisy ! Soundproofing on the toilet would be a bonus !. Breakfast was good but sadly the people around me were not - lady telling people loudly about her dogs access popping while I’m eating was not nice and I never went back as I would have gave her a mouth full of abuse - ( vile woman) No complaints about the Hotel , very clean very good to everything . I nearly cancelled due to reading the reviews - but glad I did not - very happy with my stay and the way they deal very prompt with scumbags ! . Cleaners are SUPERB , can’t fault any of the staff at all . Go ahead and book with confidence . I will book again next year - rooftop bar is great with small bats flying around the front of the hotel and everywhere in Malta ( I’m a bat lover ) very friendly bar manager from Nepal made me feel very welcome . IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS ITS GREAT

Hotel staff polite, supportive and courteous. I arrived at the hotel a day late due to unforeseen difficulties, the arrival was at 1am. I had previously sent a email relating to the delay. The staff reception officer was very helpful and when l explained the delayed arrival he was extremely professional ensuring a room was available with suitable amenities. The air conditioning was effective, particularly during the hot nights. Would definitely return and spend few days break at the accommodation and recommend to family and friends.

I dont know how this hotel got a 4 star rating , we stayed in a superior room , was basic , only had a window and the view was other windows covered in bird 💩 , had to pay 5 euros for a kettle, breakfast was basic and cold , and you couldn't take it your self , pool was small , no entertainment .

Très bon séjour

3 nuits en couple pour visiter Malte. Hôtel très bien situé. Très agréable. Clim dans les chambres, possibilité de rendre la chambre à tout moment. Snack et boissons au rooftop avec petite piscine et quelques transats, idem devant l’hôtel, un système de bar restaurant Juste le petit déjeuner mériterai d’être amélioré niveau qualité des produits fruits/yaourt/gâteaux sucrés Sinon les œufs et bacon super !! Le personnel est très gentil, agréable et a notre service. Superbe vue mer sur la rue passante de Sliema

The main reason to choose hotel pool with bar and snacks.When I booked they were said to be open. They were not open and therefore I feel we should get some sort of compensation. Ovreall then disappointed

Great view if you get seafront room. Pool and rooftop area was out of action , not stated when I made the booking so disappointed on that. Cooked breakfasts good. Rooms tired decor, damaged floor and wall tiles, sink. Fire alarm went off two nights in row around 2am, earlier alarm call than I’m used to.

Disappointed

The room was dated, however clean...nice view overlooking the sea...nosey at night. Breakfast was dreadful...no choice and had to wait to be served...cold!! This is the 16th time we have been to Malta..last minute booking so our normal hotel was booked up...will not stay here again, not the 4 star quality we are used to 😏
