115 the Strand Hotel by Neu Collective Reviews

Review: 115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective Stayed: May 16–19 The location of the hotel is excellent — very convenient for getting around, and check-in was smooth. We stayed in Room 609, which was a standard room, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The room felt very small and the decor was dull and depressing. The bathroom was extremely tiny — even for two petite women, it was uncomfortable. Sitting on the toilet, your knees almost touch the sink, and the shower space is so tight you can barely turn around. The hallway had a musty smell, possibly from water leakage. Overall, the room experience was not pleasant. The lobby staff were not very helpful. They didn’t tell us about the facilities on the 8th floor — there’s a small sauna, jacuzzi, and a tiny indoor pool. If I had known earlier, I would’ve taken advantage and enjoyed some time there despite the limited size. That said, the rest of the hotel facilities were much better. The rooftop restaurant was a highlight — the food was delicious and the views were beautiful and uplifting, especially during breakfast. A big bonus was access to the outdoor pool at Aqualuna Malta just across the street. I spent two lovely days there enjoying the ocean view with a bottle of Prosecco — very relaxing. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but only if I can book a better room. The location and facilities are great — just be aware of the room quality and ask about all the amenities upfron!

Small compact hotel, good location; two minutes walk to bars and restaurants, 5 minute walk to the Valetta ferry. Staff were friendly and helpful, hotel is nice and clean, our room was quite small with no balcony or view (window opened into a large service court). A decent breakfast; English and continental selections, breakfast restaurant doubles as bar area in the evenings, outside terrace has greòat views over the bay/marina, looking towards Valetta. Pool is a private Lido across the road from the hotel; nice area serving good food, can be quite busy at times as a few hotels share the facility, although we had no problems getting sun loungers on the upper terracing.

Nice hotel with nice room and fair breakfast with a gorgeous view.

It was good. Location not ideal for us but it was in front of the marina with many shops and restaurants around. The room (double with sea view) was very small, in some cases we were jumping over our luggages. The view was breath taking for sure. We had paid for a different room for the last day of our staying (due to the fact that there were no longer dates available for the first room). The second room was an executive one, very spacious and we loved it! We were a little bit disappointed by the interior pool, wich was not heated and really small. Breakfast had many choices but 1.) the breakfast room was small and we were waiting in long queues just to be sitted in a table and 2.) the staff talked in a really bad tone to us about the take away policy, which was not needed. All hotel staff was really kind and helpful regardless some minor misunderstandings. The hotel has its own restaurant, a 24/7 convenient store and an ATM. Also, it has a bar restaurant with a big pool just across the street. It was a nice staying, not great but nice, clean and safe.

The perfect location for a sea view! I was here in December 2023, a perfect escape from freezing winter. I had the best sunrise 180 degree-view overlooking the yachts in the front! This was my best moment whilst staying here. Breakfast is basic and customer service is not so great, I had to find my seat from a long queue going in, and get my own coffee. It wasn’t great experience at all. Maybe becos it was fully booked by the time I got there. Nevertheless, I’d still choose to go back here given the chance, but maybe go have breakfast/meals outside.

Not much to say..

The first day was uncomfortable, We had a standart small room next to the backyard( NO VIEW), too hot, also the air con operated very cold, the waste pipe was next to the room and when people flushed the toilet on any floor, the sound traveled into our room, and also the room was too hot, we paid more money to upgrade the room, then we stayed in a bigger room with a sea view.

Very good view and the breakfast is good. The staff is helpful and very close to the bus stop.

Staff and breakfast were perfect but the room (with window) might as well not have a window you get almost no sunlight and outside the window you get a view of plumbing. The indoor pool is cold even though they say it's heated.

The hotel's location is very convenient, the service is excellent, and my stay was very comfortable. The restaurant is on the 9th floor, offering beautiful views of the harbor and Valletta. The ferry terminal is about a 150-meter walk away, with a 1.50 euro transfer to Valletta and a 3-euro round-trip ferry ride, making it a very convenient option for exploring the city. Rates vary depending on the season, so make sure to book early for trips in July and August. The hotel also offers a free beachfront swimming pool, Aqualuna, which can be accessed by picking up a ticket at the front desk. The value for money is excellent and highly recommended.

The receptionist in the lobby was very friendly. The location was good, but the room had a strange smell that took some time to get used to. Also, since it's on a main road, there was some noise at night. It was a bit old, but overall it was a good hotel.

This is a very cost-effective hotel with a great location, close to the Sliema pier. It is very convenient to travel to and from Valletta, about five minutes each way. The seaside promenade in Sliema, about a 20-minute walk away, also has a beautiful sea view. The hotel's buffet breakfast is great!

We stayed in a family room. The hotel's location, service attitude, and internal facilities were all very good, especially the kitchen facilities such as the stove, which were very suitable for family use. The only drawback was that the room had only one window facing the patio, so ventilation and view were poor.

The sea view room has a nice view and is opposite Valletta
