Alborada Aparthotel

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!

Great location and nice room only negative is that there wasn’t always someone available at reception but that is a minor thing overall I was happy

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.

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!

very good location,

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.

Closed to the beach good for value for money they give you free wi fi for 12 hours it's has lifts to the floors and rooms have ceiling fan and a/c

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.

Quite good hotel but in this location is a lot of building which are reconstructed. The noise and polution negatively influenced our stay in this hotel.

Great location and cheap hotel. Would like to recommend this to every one.
