In the bathroom the flush gets stuck every time. The air conditioning is loud and you can't sleep and it's dirty, you can see it with the naked eye. Hair dryer broken (despite reporting, nothing happened ). The general condition of the room and hotel very poor and not encouraging. The breakfast is not good and not even filling because the woman behind the glass puts it on the plate and if you want more she looks at you frowningly/ almost angry - despite all you can eat breakfast. The only advantage is the view from the 7th floor and the location

Good points: location, attentive employees, part brand new building ( my room with new bathroom). Bad points: Booked the hotel with pool and roof top bar, both were closed everyday. Very limited facilities- the reception in the photo does not exist and there is not even one sofa or armchair there to use, but only a few chair. Breakfast very very basic, limited and exactly the same everyday.

Staff were great. Bed was not changed once in whole stay. Advertised with pool but pool and terrace was closed whole stay so had to pay 20 euro each to go on pool opposite until Wednesday then went up to 35 euro each as summer started, not good to have to pay extra when advertised with pool and terrace

Very basic hotel it is no way a 4 star rated hotel and the price was too high for our stay there. There were better hotels at lower prices. They show the swimming pool but this was not open to use. The room we were given was terrible with no external light coming into the room. We had to pay extra for a room that had external light coming in. The breakfast was poor it had not much option. Only Pork/ham items in breakfast for meat - this was not suitable for us as we do not eat pork. What about having chicken items as well?

Italian school groups out of control.
The hotel was occupied by Italian school trip groups. The school children were just being kids - unfortunately this meant they were running around the corridors in groups up to 2:00am. I complained about the disturbed sleep and was moved to a different room away from the school children. Still it wasn’t good and I would advise you check before booking.

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.

There's a lot to like about the Kennedy Nova. It's conveniently located in Sliema, surrounded by many wonderful restaurants. It's located directly across the road from the sea, so the view is stellar. It's just a short walk to the Sliema-Valletta ferry for your eventual trip there. The room we had was comfortable, though not overly large. Unexpectedly, there was a breakfast buffet that was well-appointed and quite tasty. The staff was quite friendly and allowed us to securely store our luggage before we could officially check in, but also in the period after we had checked out but weren't ready to go to the airport. Pickups for ridesharing or taxis are easy, and there's a bus stop nearby as well. The only mild complaints were that the air conditioner in the room struggled a bit to keep things cool and while the water pressure in the shower was adequate, it wasn't great. Those things are definitely not enough to overwhelm a wonderful stay.

So when I booked a balcony room I wasn't figuring on a Juliet balcony looking across to other rooms. The room was clean, bed okay and shower was fine. Breakfast was fine and plenty of items to choose from including hot and cold food. Glad I only booked for a night before flight home though.

Worse hotel stay ever!
It started off badly from the second we opened the door to our room. The room absolutely stank of cigarettes and smoke. It was overpowering. We had to keep the door open for hours as so bad and it never went away. We booked a seaview room and paid more for this. The view was nice, road busy but expected that. There was no tea /coffee making facilities in the room which was disappointing. I used the bathroom and the tap on bath was very wobbly and the floor was covered in hairs. The dust behind the TV was thick. Only two pillows in bed. Both so flat, was like sleeping without. There was no duvet on bed, just a sheet. There was a blanket in wardrobe, but this was covered in both numerous human dog hairs, so we could not use that, so had to sleep with just a sheet. Well I use sleep loosely. We were kept awake all night by the students staying in the hotel running and screaming up and down the stairs and having a party in the room next door all night and I mean all night. There was an interconnecting door to our room and at some point in the night students came into our room!! We had come to the hotel for the night from Gozo where we live, as I had an operation at 0730 the next day so wanted to relax and get a good nights sleep, but this was impossible. My husband went for breakfast after dropping me off at hospital. He said was like a school canteen with all the students. So loud and noisy and running around. We ran a bnb for many years and was shocked staying here.
