Amazing staff, views, facilities and atmosphere will definitely come back soon loved every minute of it very clean. Would recommend to anyone for a great base to see Malta. Roof top swimming pool was great with beautiful scenery and views of Valletta and silema. Loved it.

Kennedy Nova has prime location in Gzira, Sliema close to the ferry and the city. This is not a luxurious hotel but a basic, but decent hotel on a budget. The view from the 7th floor is fantastic, and the little pool is cool too. We had a studio on the 3rd floor, it was spacious and both rooms had A/C. Clean rooms, daily cleaning and great breakfast was provided. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

A bright, welcoming, very clean hotel. Very good value for money. Well situated good for buses and a ferry to Valletta. Would definitely return. We had bed and breakfast, as we wanted to use the many local restaurants in the evening. Enjoyed the happy hour cocktails!

A very, very old mattress, on the bed, with springs poking up. Had to ask for a mattress change, which I still had to wait another day for! The cleaners cupboard was on the opposite side to our bedroom and, at 7 each morning, they gathered there, talking loudly and banging and clattering buckets, brooms, trolleys etc. So, no chance of sleep after 7! The food option was appalling - a very poor selection, with 2 meat choices and just one vegetable option. The dessert was whatever cake was left in the front 'bistro/cafe' at the end of the day - so, a few slices of stale, hard cake. We discovered that there were very few people staying at the hotel, hence the reason for a poor choice (I stated that this was unfair on us, as we'd paid for our holiday and, should be entitled to the same choice as when the hotel is busy. On our last night, we went for dinner at 18.45 (dinner is 18.30-21.00) - no sign of food anywhere. When we asked, we were told that it would be 7pm tonight, so we had a drink at the bar. 19.15, still no sign of food - and so it went on. Eventually, after a lot of discussion and stress, the food began to come out at 20.15. Ten minutes later, we realised the reason - a large group of people suddenly arrived at reception, with all their luggage - so the meal had been held off for them! Absolutely disgusting! I will never use this hotel again!…

Dear G8279QPjaynes, We write with reference to your review with regards to your stay at the Hotel. First of all, we were unable to identify your accommodation details, given the lack of information provided. We have also noted that we have not received any correspondence addressing these issues. In regard to the above we are unable to investigate as we would like your concerns however would like to clarify a couple of issues as follows; - Our housekeeping personnel commences at 8am and change / gather in the staff room prior to their shift before is due to commence. The staff room is not near any guest rooms. - The pastry purchased for Seashore / The Creek generally differ from each other, however we can assure you that no pastry is offered / served dry / stale. - Our dinner is offered from 6.30pm until 9.30pm (at this moment in time). When our Hotel is lower in occupancy, as oppose to a buffet we offer a vast Set Menu with the same benefits of a buffet. We regret to learn that you did not find your experience with our Hotel an enjoyable one, however we urge guests who have any concerns to bring them forward to us when still in-house so that they can be easily remedied thus ensuring a pleasant stay. Regards, Josette
