Courtyard by Marriott Sliema

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."
