This place is infested with bedbegs. I would recommend nobody stay here. This place is a solid 1 out of 10. Please don't stay here! The staff never believed me when I showed them blood stains on the pillow. They were conceived that this place location is not infested with bedbugs.

We SORRY
We corresponded beforehand to make sure everything was in order. However, there was no iron, no ironing board, no hairdryer. The kitchen equipment was lacking to say the least (1 fork) and the oven had a European plug for the English socket :) We asked for a double bed, here 2 beds were pushed together, which slid apart every 4 seconds. We were instructed that it was no longer a twin but a double.The view was of a fire wall. The condition of the room is very poor and run down. When we asked to change rooms they even shouted at us, it was very unpleasant. They didn't even say SORRY. The only advantage is that it is in a very good location. It's a pity with such sloppy owners.

Does what it says on the tin
This hotel does what it says on the tin. A basic budget hotel but the price reflects that. Spotlessly clean, with a kettle, toaster, microwave, TV and air conditioning in the room. Great location, perfect if you just need a base.

Hotel is undergoing a refit at present. A lot of rubbish and detritus was left around, which attracts rats. We saw a rat in the communal area. Room was ok, apart from there not being much hot water to use.

Even though we paid in advance. The reception guy made us wait for a hour and also asked us to deposit money. He said that he didn't see our booking.Even when we have showed him our booking. Then we got the keys after 1 hour. When we entered the room. We got to know that it doesn't have toilet paper and there was no phone to call the receiption. Overall our stay at hotel was horrible. Wouldn't recommend anyone to live here.

Disappointing! Our stay at Alborada aparthotel was a let down. By the time of the reservation, we sent an e-mail to have more information about how to get to the hotel from the airport (about 2 months before arrival) and they only replied 1 or 2 days before arrival and its was not clear. It was in remodelatins and we were staying in the middle of the construction work! A mess! We asked for a late check in and when we arrived they only gave us the keys and thats it, no any further informations given. On our second day by the morning, we complained to the reception about the hot water, that was not even enough for a 5 min shower. We were going out for the day and asked for it to be fixed until we arrive but nothing was done. The receptionist gave us the option for us to use the shower by the reception, but it was the same. The room had a button to press to ask for cleaning, but once again they haven't provide a good service and they haven't provided us the cleaning as we asked. The room was ok however it was a little bit dirty, just so the wallway and the reception. The day after the check-in, they asked for a eco tax (3 euros) that asked again during the check-out. Concluding it was not the best place to stay. The hotel has a good location and thats it, nothing else to choose it, they are not very welcoming and good at fixing things. Do not stay here!

decent basic budget hotel
I am surprised by so many negative reviews and people's regrets about booking this hotel. The only regret we had was a piece of cranberry cheese forgotten in the fridge in our room :) It's a basic budget hotel, you can't expect Four Seasons Resort service for that little money you paid. Location is excellent - the hotel is surrounded by shops, café, restaurants, supermarket. Bus stop and ferry - 5 min walk. Quick commute to/from the airport - it took us only 25 minutes to get to the hotel on X2 bus. There is a beach nearby. Very helpful manager. We got our boarding passes printed for free. There was a fridge, stove, oven, microwave and tea kettle in the room - everything in good working condition. Essential cookware, utensils, glasses. Quite decent linens and towels. TV did not work, but we did not come to Malta to watch TV. The only flaw we found was weak WiFi signal. It was free, but worked normally only in the lobby. Overall, good value for the price and nice base to explore Malta.

AVOID IT!!
Everything is old; this is the worst hotel I stayed in my life. I stayed in the room with toilet + garden view. The garden is not theirs; it is a bunch of trees of the abandoned house next door. Super old curtains, the ceiling had a lot of dust around the fan ceiling. The microwave was so old that I was afraid to use it. The small fridge was super noisy. Sincerely, avoid it!

I have stayed in many budget hotels but never have I experienced anything like this. Absolutely awful, bed linen not clean even when replaced. Not surprising given when we went to the linen room the woman was smoking. Building materials placed in room whilst we were there. Direct access from street never felt secure. We moved out after 1 night.

Very basic budget hotel
I booked these apartments before reading any reviews, so was alarmed at some of the reviews I read. That said I’m used to budget accommodation so took most of them with a pinch of salt. You pay your money and take your choice. I only use my accommodation as a base. The property is tucked away in a back street. The decor is very worn and dated, and I’m sure the electrics wouldn’t pass any safety tests. That said, beds were comfortable and the shower was good and hot. A cleaner came in every day to change towels etc. There are 2 big supermarkets close by, and it’s perfectly positioned to access decent public transport, and bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. It was also in a quiet street, within the very busy area of Sliema. Walls are typically thin as you get in all modern Mediterranean buildings, so you can hear neighbours in the corridors etc.

Centrally located!
Typical 2-star, clean meet basic needs. Selected for family visit so booked 4 rooms. Accommodation is decent value for money. We had Nice airy room w a terrace - basic amenities. Centrally locates & walking distance to shops & restaurants. Manager eager to accommodate needs if requested and able. Double beds are actually two twins put together. Not accessible for persons w disability. On top of hill so be ready to walk on incline which appears to be the case in most apartels. P Coffee shop on site is basic, expensive & use only if u must. can get better on seafront coffee shops a couple of minutes walk down!
