    Overall, the location and staff were highlights, but the room quality and breakfast left a lot to be desired.

    We stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. We booked a standard room, which we knew wouldn’t have a balcony, but what we didn’t expect was that it had no windows at all. This was very disappointing. The room was also quite noisy – we could hear fireworks going on through the night – and it lacked basic amenities such as hooks for hanging clothes. The wardrobe only had fixed hangers, which made it impractical. The view from the breakfast area was much better than the food itself. The elevators were extremely slow, and sometimes only one of the two was working. We also couldn’t connect to the TV Wi-Fi despite following the instructions. We called the reception, who promised to send maintenance, but no one ever showed up, and we were too tired to follow up.

    the positive side, the hotel’s partnership with Aqualuna across the street was a great bonus. Entrance was included, and even on our departure day (with a late flight), we were offered free entry again, luggage storage, and even a shower at the hotel to freshen up before leaving. The staff were very kind and helpful – a special thanks to Mister Antonio and Francesca for their hospitality.

    I stayed in this hotel a couple of times and unfortunately, this time, the cleaning level of the bathroom was pretty low. In addition, the breakfast isn't great and you're better off getting it elsewhere. The strange rules about who gets to have breakfast upstairs and who downstairs make no sense. According to reception - if you have view from your room then you don't get access to the upstairs breakfast area which has amazing view. Sadly, 'view' in their case is also when your balcony is directly in front of another hotel balcony.

    115 hotel is great. It's located right next to the beach club Aqua Luna which has free entrance to hotel guests. The rooms are spacious, and the hotel entrance is nice and welcoming.

    The beds were new, so they were quite hard, and we found the pillows too soft, but that's preference. The hotels location does not give you the most 'scenic views' from the rooms, but you can see the harbour from the rooftop pool! There is no bar or restaurant in the hotel as yet. If hiring a car, parking around the hotel can be a bit hit and miss, but we always managed to get one, albeit if it was a short walk from the hotel.

    We were originally booked into 115 The Strand, but were offered a free upgrade to the new Regional Hotel, and it was absolutely worth it! A brand new hotel with beautiful rooms! It was super clean, and the staff could not do enough to help across both hotels! They were very accomodating and helpful. You have free access to the pool, Aqualuna, which is about a 10-minute walk from the Regional. It is a nice pool, but it does get very busy. The a la carte breakfast was exceptional, and the location of the hotel means there are plenty of options for meals in the evenings! It is also easy to get around the island from where the hotel is situated. There is a small shop directly next door to the hotel, which is handy. We were a family of 10, over 4 rooms, and we can not thank everyone at the Regional and 115 The Strand for everything they did during our stay!

    Our room was on 6th floor with seaview. Below and above the floor that part of the hotel was undergoing constructions. There wasnt big noise luckily enough, but still bit confusing. Also, we didn't know there been two options for breakfast: on 9th floor with a nice view or ground floor with no view...we got allocated to the "no view option" and only figured out during check out we could have ask for a change 😞.

    Hotel is located close to ferry terminal to Valetta. Good breakfast, lobby and restaurant looks nice and newly renovated. Rooms are ok, even so when looking on details it was bit older. Beds very comfortable. Free use of Aqualuna which is a nice pool club opposite of the hotel.

    I had an accident on the day if arrival which led to a broken wrist an 9 hours spent in the emergency department of Mater Dei hospital...so I couldn't enjoy my family holiday in full. However,this was not due to the location. Anyway,for safety reasons ,I would sugest any visitors to be careful,as the floor in the rooms is made of tiles,which can be very slippery when are wet.

    The location very nice.The staff very helpful and attentive. Good food.Lots of restaurants in the area.

    We were woken 2 mornings out of our 5 night stay by staff taping skirting boards outside our room at 8.30am. They were priming for painting walls - Unusual timing for hotel improvements during peak season at the beginning of August. Did interfere with the rest aspect of our trip The rooms we had were given were also very small and dark. We chose standard rooms, but these didn't look like the pictures, recommend paying extra for the nicer rooms The lifts took ages as there were only 2 serving the whole hotel and the power went out regularly which apparently is common across Malta during the summer

    Great location if wanting to visit multiple locations around Malta <10min walk to the ferry to Valletta, 30mins from airport, 10mins drive to Valletta Access to Aqualuna was a huge plus for our group

    The breakfast was pretty boring and when we wanted to get our laundry washed they said it would take along time which isn’t a great sales pitch. The image I saw on booking of the family room that I booked had a couch but the one we got seemed smaller without a couch.

    It is in a good location with nice restaurants near by. The staff is friendly and our room was kept clean.

    The chaos at breakfast. Always rushed, too many people. Why not do breakfast till 11? Then it’s a more relaxed situation. Tye staff were not friendly at breakfast

    The breakfast was a bit of a letdown, with limited options and not much variety to choose from. It felt quite basic, especially for a longer stay.

    The location was absolutely perfect—very central and close to everything we needed. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing view from the 9th and 10th floors; it was truly beautiful and made our experience more special. Also, the staff at the reception were excellent—very friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome and well taken care of.

    Overall, everything was very pleasant, though there were a few minor details worth noting. Something that may not be immediately noticeable is that the hotel accommodates a large number of guests. As a result, there were occasional delays with the elevator, and on one morning, I couldn't find a place to sit during breakfast. These are relatively small issues, but they may be important for some guests. One downside was the music by the pool—specifically, the choice of it. At times, it felt like being at a low-budget festival, with radio-friendly hits and remixes playing. On the bright side, the music was occasionally turned off, which was a welcome break.

    A pleasant hotel in a fairly good location—very clean, recently renovated, and staffed by exceptionally friendly and helpful personnel. There are two lovely breakfast areas, including one on a rooftop terrace with a view. The breakfast selection is quite extensive, offering a well-rounded version of standard breakfast options. Hotel guests have access to a swimming pool, which is also very nice and attended by friendly staff. While this is not a luxury hotel, it truly excels within its class.

    If I had to mention one detail, it would be that I personally appreciate having a bidet in the bathroom, even though I fully understand it’s not a common fixture in some countries.

    We had a very pleasant stay. The breakfast was varied and of good quality, with options to suit different tastes. The location was convenient, both for exploring the surroundings and for enjoying some peace and quiet. The pool was well maintained and perfect for a relaxing break. Overall, a very good choice.

    Amazing stay! The hotel was really great – perfect location with plenty of restaurants and cafes around. The room was very clean and cleaned daily, which made a big difference. Breakfasts were tasty and more than enough to start the day right. The view from the restaurant was absolutely beautiful – it made every meal even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Mr. Janek at the reception – such a kind and helpful person, always with a smile and ready to assist. People like him make your stay even more pleasant. I definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!
