Best value around
This hotel was amazing, especially for the price. It's a bit older and I did have an issue with the water kettle, if I tried to use it, the power would go out for like 10 minutes. I could have complained about it but it really wasn't an issue for me. Breakfast was great and the place was very clean. The pool was really nice and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.

A very good hotel
It's a nice hotel and the staff very helpful and friendly. I had a nice room with a balcony. Bathroom s bit oldish and needs updating. The room was big and airy with lots of light. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. I've stayed there a few times in the last 3 months.I will definetly stay there again and would gladly recommend this place. Overall very good hotel.

The hotel is off the beaten track in Qawra, not unusual for many hotels in Malta. Car parking can be a problem. Staff were friendly and courteous. Housekeeping was good. The facilities were fine and the hotel currently is renovating one level, which did not cause any problems during my stay. Good to see that maintenance was being done. The breakfast was fine, only ate in the restaurant once, not the best.

I love the Sunflower Hotel, I have been going for 14yrs. I started going with my grandson, and now I go on my own. It is a great place everyone is so welcoming, it is like a big family now. It is a safe place when you are on your own as they look after you so well, nothing is any bother.

Good stay in Malta
The hotel is very good. Good meals nice cleaning ladies. They could improve by adding a water boiler and a small fringe to the room equipment. The swimming pool on the roof is amazing. Malda in general is very nice.

Not impressed
Our room was very spacious and clean but had only one European plug and one UK plug so we could only charge one device at a time. For some reason the room assigned didn't have the blind curtains so we would have light in the room very early in the morning. Most of the staff is very unpleasant (but that is common across all country) and they don't allow you to take away water from the breakfast meal even though the water available is filtered (not bottled) and they don't offer any water in the room. The AC in the room was not working and the toilet was broken (but functional). The mattress wasn't the best but it was ok for a couple of nights. The Wi-Fi worked ok most of the times, sometimes it would just stop working but I guess there's a lot of people for the same connection so it is understandable. Breakfast was very limited and not great taste (like the remaining food in Malta). The water on the pool (last floor) was too cold and the water in the indoor pool had too much chlorine. You can find a lot of great restaurants in the area around the hotel. To visit from the hotel i's better if you have a car.

The hotel was a decent location for sightseeing. 10 min walk to main square and bus station (in different direction) hotel clean but decor dated. Great if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower. Hotel staff helpful. Roof pool just being painted to get ready for the summer season (27-30 apr stay) looked like it would be a great amenity. Breakfast not great but again overall good for price. Tried to get a drink at the bar twice and no one available to serve, waited a while then gave up. No fridge in our room so not sure if there are fridges in others. This wasn’t an issue really as it wasn’t hot weather though would probably need one in summer months. The hairdryer hangs on the bathroom wall and is a really old style unit but worked perfect. Space on the balcony to sit, two chairs provided though don’t expect a sea view. The rooms aren’t sea facing. All in all I would stay again for a short break. Anything longer I’d be looking something with more amenities and facilities.

Price was Great.Room cleaning was very good. Breakfast was just okay because of limited choices and repeat everyday. Beds are not comfortable at all. Location is not the best or not very well connected to transportation. Lastly, I found a living cockroach in the walkway in front of my room, then down beside the lobby in front of the elevator I found one dead. This only happened at 4:30 am as I was checking out to catch my plane.

I really liked the hotel. The hotel was cozy, clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also liked the location of the hotel, the area was residential and quiet, and close to Bugibba center and good public transport connections. The indoor pool with hot water was great (in March the outdoor pool is not open). My only complaint would be the hotel wifi which was useless. It did not connect for more than a few seconds at a time (at least in my room on the highest floor).

Inexpensive.
This is a very busy hotel, but not too noisy. It is a little way from the seafront in a mainly residential area. Breakfast is included and this can be very busy, but apart from the terrible coffee the food is ok. Dinner is also available and is inexpensive. The hotel could do with a little refurbishment, but overall for the cost it is ok. The staff are also friendly

It was a nice hotel with easy access to buses. It was easy to get around and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast wasn’t very exciting but there was plenty of it and always hot. CONS The beds were made regularly but the sheets were not changed. I ended up riddled with bedbug bites!!!! That ruined my vacation!!! The ceiling fan was cracked and I was terrified to turn it on in case it fell on me!! There was also incessant dog barking- day and night😩

Decent hotel offering decent value.
Professional staff,good breakfast.Maintenance has been unsightly and the room dated.much more effort and expense in the bar and lounger areas. The location isd in a residential area,odd to try and find at first and can occasionally be at the mercy of noisy locals.my room next to the lift was additionally affected by sound.Really nice hotel in here if a bit of investment is made.

Nice, clean hotel with a roof pool
Nice hotel, friendly hotel staff. Small roof pool and a small heated pool on the ground floor, but both smart and clean. Buffet breakfast is ok and adequate although not very inspiring. Hotel is just 10 minutes walk to the harbour. View of the sea and coast from the roof pool. We had a great holiday and the hotel was fine for our needs. The one REAL problem we had, was the bar by the roof pool didn’t open until 12 midday at the earliest each day but several days no one came to open it at all and it closed at 2.30pm on the dot when it was open. The hotel could have made lots of money from selling drinks etc to the customers sunbathing on the roof, but they didn’t seem too bothered!! There’s a sign saying you can’t bring your own drinks and food to the roof, but THEY’RE not open to serve you when you need refreshment!!!! There were empty snack and drinks machines behind the bar on the roof, if they had food and drinks in them then they wouldn’t need to staff the roof!!!
