115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective

8/10 Good
"Great location and comfortable stay The location of 115 The Strand Hotel is fantastic, and the beds were really comfortable. The rooms were kept clean, which was a positive. However, we did have some issues with the air conditioning, including a leak, and there were signs of damp and mould, which was disappointing. If natural daylight is important to you, I’d recommend booking a balcony room which is lovely but we also had one of the standard rooms it had no natural light at all, just a concrete wall outside the window. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection of options. The front-of-house team were lovely and welcoming, although the restaurant staff weren’t particularly pleasant overall. Only two members of the restaurant team were genuinely engaging and friendly. Overall, the hotel has a fantastic location, comfortable beds and clean rooms, but the air-conditioning, damp/mould issues and lack of natural light in some standard rooms are worth considering when booking."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Marsa?
The best area to stay in Marsa, Malta, is generally not within Marsa itself, as it's primarily an industrial and port area. Instead, travelers looking for convenience and quality should consider staying in nearby Valletta or the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua), which offer much more for visitors.Valletta is an excellent choice for couples and those interested in history and culture. This UNESCO World Heritage site is Malta's capital, known for its Baroque architecture, narrow streets, and impressive fortifications. You'll find a wide array of high-end hotels, fine dining restaurants, and cultural attractions like St. John's Co-Cathedral and the Grand Master's Palace. Its central bus terminus provides easy access to other parts of the island.For travelers seeking a more authentic and quieter experience, the Three Cities, particularly Vittoriosa (Birgu), are ideal. These fortified cities predate Valletta and offer a glimpse into Malta's maritime past. Vittoriosa has a charming waterfront with excellent restaurants, a marina, and historical sites like Fort St. Angelo.
When is the best time to go to Marsa?
