10/10 Excellent
"We’ve just returned from a six-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Sliema and had an excellent experience. The staff were fantastic — friendly, pleasant and extremely helpful. They were always happy to recommend places to visit and restaurants to try, which really helped us make the most of Malta. The hotel was exceptionally clean throughout and all the amenities were excellent. Our room was cleaned every day and, although we booked a basic room, it still felt luxurious. The bed was extremely comfortable, the blackout curtains were excellent and the room was surprisingly quiet despite the traffic outside. We also had a balcony. A sea view would have been lovely, but we were very happy with the room we booked. The bathroom was impressive, particularly the shower with its two different modes. The room also had an iron and hairdryer. Breakfast was brilliant, with a fantastic choice of sweet and savoury options — basically everything you could want. What really impressed us was how quickly items were replenished when they started to run low, so there was always plenty available. The spa and relaxation areas had a lovely, chilled atmosphere. The only slight negative was that a few other guests didn't always respect the quiet environment, but that's certainly not the hotel's fault. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. Excellent staff, cleanliness, facilities, breakfast and comfort. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend the Courtyard by Marriott Sliema."

"A very well located hotel in Sliema. We had a sea view balcony room which had a fantastic view of the Marina and Valetta. The room was quite standard furnishing wise - perfectly acceptable and comfortable. The staff were all very nice and helpful. The pool situation would personally put me off staying again. Having to queue to access a pool at 10.00am wasn't great for me - as an early rise, I like to be able to sit by the pool whenever I like. But that's just me! Pool hours were 10.00am to 6.00pm. We did not have breakfast but did enjoy a drink on the rooftop bar (again with great views)."
