Europa Hotel

Excellent location on the seafront. A short walk from the ferry to Valetta and the picturesque harbour. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff were friendly and very helpful throughout. An excellent two star hotel.

The location is very good, easy access. Building is nice and staff is helpful

The hotel is an older five-storey property but has been renovated to modern standards. A sea view room with balcony is definitely worth the small extra cost and offers a stunning view of the Mediterranean and the ships coming in and out of the harbour. No restaurant on the premises, but Fortizza just across the road offers Maltese and international cuisine. For Chinese, go to Golden Wok a short distance down the road. The Queen Elizabeth II Pub (10 min. walking distance) offers traditional English food including the classic Sunday Roast (very popular, so be sure to book a table).

Because I arrived before my room was ready the staff provided a room where I could leave my luggage and begin my holiday immediately. The staff gave me information regarding services in the hotel, public transport in Malta, general prices, orientation etc. When I was checked-in into my room, the room was clean, it was exactly as described on the Booking site. The Wi-Fi was working perfectly. The Air Condition unit was working great although I didn't need it. There was also a TV and it worked although I didn't use it. The linen on the bed was clean and the staff adjusted it daily. The window looked at shaft (as described on the site). The bathroom had all the facilities as described and it was cleaned daily. You got towels (which were changed daily or not, but only if You decided that and told that to the staff. You had soaps and shampoos in the bathroom. The room was excellent since I used it only for sleep because I was out all day sightseeing, visiting museums, churches and locations on Malta. The staff was friendly. It adjusted or changed Your bed linen if asked. It kept the room clean. Also changed the towels daily. The location of the hotel exceeded my expectations. First, Sliema on its own is also a beautiful place. A waterfront in front of the hotel was fantastic even during the winter. Very near the hotel was the bus station from which You could travel to Valletta (20 minutes) or somewhere else if You wanted to. 10 minutes from the hotel is the ferry that can carry You directly to Valletta (10 minutes). All in all, since I only used a room to sleep overnight, I am very pleased with everything.

We booked a three-adult basic room. It was an interior room with no windows other than into a ventilation shaft - it felt like a bit of a dungeon. It wasn't dirty, but didn't feel perfectly clean. One of the shower doors was missing (apparently it had broken) so I went to reception to ask for an additional towel for the floor, and they instead offered to upgrade us to a beautiful water-facing room with a balcony. This upgraded room was fantastic.
