    Room had a view to an internal firewall, light court. There is only one bedside table and chair in the room. The water boiler was noisy, it gave a strange sound every 5 minute.

    Location and cleanliness are great. Breakfast is OK, staff is nice.

    Breakfast choices were very limited. Hallways were not airconditioned and the elevator lacked ventilation.

    The location to transportation and beach was excellent. Katherine, Kevin and Ben at the front desk were very cordial.

    Our shower was not good because when you shower everything splashes around and it could be a little bit better. And the third bed was shaky.

    I went with my 6 friends for 6 nights. The location was perfect and the staff were amazing. For the price it was very good.

    It was a stay that was worth. The location is pretty good in Sliema, close to the beach, restaurants and bus stops (regular and tourism). Staff were super friendly and their effort to keep the premises clean and the customers satisfied is noticeable! Breakfast is great and healthy.

    Our room was very small for 2 people, it felt more like a room for single occupancy. Also we asked for twin beds but they said they could not accommodate this despite our double bed being 2 beds put together.

    Great location, very clean. Staff were very helpful.

    Definitely the breakfast was awful, poor and you don’t have too many options to choose from. My friend was gluten-free and she didn't have enough options only the bread and some tomato. Non-dairy free products. I will recommend to change these little things because you can help somebody else.

    The room was very tiny and neat. The staff were very friendly and very polite. The a/c was working properly and you have all you need in the bathroom (amenities). The location was spotless

    As hygiene being very important to me in deciding which accommodation I would book, I have to honestly say that I think this should be improved in Howard hotel. Upon my arrival to the room, the bedsheets were dirty and two times, we received not very clean towels. Fortunately the stuff is very helpful and kind and these were solved very easily upon request. However, I think a bit more attention should be payed on the hygiene, because it would be shame for a such a cute hotel to lose its guests.

    Hotel stuff was very helpful and friendly, location was very good, close to the promenade next to the sea that brings you by walking to St. Julian and close to bus stations from airport and also to the Sliema harbour and to the other beaches and places on Malta. Hotel also has a rooftop balcony which is available for guest to use until 22h, so it is nice place to chill after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was nice, enough to have a nice start of exploring the island. Overall, we had a nice stay.

    Being a solo traveller, I was put in a very Small room with the bathroom across the corridor. I made it clear i wasnt happy and was given a bigger room with bathroom. I don't recall seeing this room when booking.

    Very clean and friendly staff always ready to help.

    Maybe it would be useful to have something like a rack for drying clothes in the room.

    Room was pretty clean, breakfast was nice with diverse selection of pastries and fruits. I liked, especially pastry with cheese I think the name is pastizzi. Location is fine, with 15mins walk to Sliema ferry terminal.

    A squeak from water pipes due to water pressure, probably, and lot of public domain repairs around the hotel, but nothing that host can do, so don't take it like a minus, just like an update of location.

    The Howard hotel is an excellent location for explorers. Close to bus stations, to Sliema promenade, ferry, Lidl, stores etc, but in a quiet area(very important :) ). Breakfast is very good, continental version, with a rich option of pastries, among other delicacies(Maltese cheese, Maltese sausage, fresh fruits etc) . Coffee machine is amazing, offering numerous options from ristretto to chococino or simply a warm glass of milk or hot water for tea(also various options for tea lovers). The room was good, clean, fresh towel every day although we hang them up to show we are eco friendly :). Hot water boiler big enough for two persons. Personnel very friendly, helpful and discreet. Overall, this is a location where you will comeback for sure. Very good price/quality ratio!

    The bed was really uncomfortable for us, but this might be due to preferences. The breakfast was tasty, but could use a bit of variety on a daily basis

    The location was great, the staff were nore than nice and helpful. Everything was very clean and cleaned diligently.
