This is our Luxury pick for Sliema. It holds 5 stars (official) and scores 9.1 out of 10 from 424 guest reviews, with a location score of 9.1. It suits couples on a treat trip who want a spa, attentive staff and a breakfast worth getting up for: guests describe high-quality à la carte dishes served on a rooftop terrace with panoramic views.
Skip it if price is a deciding factor. At €263 per night in the reference sample, it cost about twice what our Best Value pick charged, and that hotel scored higher. Note too that 424 reviews is a smaller base than many hotels on our site, so the score can move more as new reviews arrive.
Location and getting around
The address is 5 Thornton, in Sliema. The nearest sights in our data are all in Valletta. The Grandmaster's Palace is about 1.3 km away in a straight line, roughly 16 minutes on foot. St John's Co-Cathedral is about 1.4 km, around 18 minutes, and City Gate about 1.5 km, around 19 minutes.
These are straight-line estimates, and the real walking route to Valletta may be considerably longer than these figures suggest. Check a map before you decide to walk, and allow for public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
Two themes lead the feedback. Staff are described as friendly and professional, with attentive service and a warm welcome. Breakfast gets special mention for its à la carte dishes and the rooftop terrace.
The complaints are specific. Interiors are called spotless, but some guests report dirty pools and unpleasant drain smells. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed by us.
Price compared with our other two Sliema picks
The reference price was €263 per night, about €526 for 2 nights. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not a live quote.

Lady Todd, our Budget pick, is a 3-star hotel at €60 per night with a score of 8.5. Waterfront, our Best Value pick, is a 4-star hotel at €133 per night with a score of 9.4. On numbers alone, Waterfront looks the stronger deal. What this hotel adds is the fifth star, the spa facilities and the rooftop breakfast.

Before you book
Beach appears in the provider's facilities, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or a walking distance. Parking appears in the property tags, but terms and fees are not confirmed. Check breakfast inclusion, cancellation terms, spa and pool access, and the final price with taxes. Given the reports about the pools and drains, read the latest reviews.
