Roma Hotel (Sliema, Malta)

The hotel is ideal for holidaymakers on a budget. It is basic, no frills accommodation that provides good value for money and due to this guests return year on year. Food and drink within the complex is also good value and tasty and the beds are comfortable.

Due to its location parts of the hotel have beautiful views over the coastline. Previous guests have recommended upgrading to a sea view room.

The Hotel Roma has an enviable position just across the road from a rocky beach. There are bus stops in both directions within a minute’s walk away where you can visit almost anywhere on the island. There are a number of bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and there are supermarkets to stock up on supplies nearby.

The hotel doesn’t place enough importance on cleanliness and guests have said that the hotel is in dire need of a good, deep clean. The hotel needs to invest in new bed sheets as there have been a handful of complaints about them, however clean towels are provided on a daily basis.

There are maintenance issues that the hotel needs to address which includes doors not closing properly and therefore not feeling secure enough, broken beds and old televisions with no remote control, many pieces of furniture are in need of replacement and the rooms are also quite dark.

Only some of the rooms have air-conditioning and it may be worth requesting one of these if you’re travelling in the height of summer.
