At Hotel Kennedy Nova, travellers praise the convenient Sliema waterfront location and generally friendly staff, while recurring downsides include dated rooms with occasional maintenance and noise issues, a mixed breakfast, and inconsistent access to the small rooftop pool and bar.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms and common areas clean, but several reported dust, odors, or missed details. Sea-view rooms and the rooftop terrace can offer great views, though traffic and nightlife can be noisy. Expect a basic, well-located stay rather than four-star polish.

Facilities
The rooftop pool and bar provide nice views when open, but multiple guests found them closed during their stay; the pool is also small.

Mir wurde bei der Ankunft ein Zimmer angeboten, dass sich weit weg von der Kategorie befand, die ich gebucht hatte. Ich hatte zwar Balkon in den Innenhof gebucht, das war aber ein Austritt in einen Innenhof, der wie ein Schacht war. Das Hotel ist sechsstöckig, da wäre kaum Licht gewesen, der ganze Innenhof vielleicht 4 × 4 m . Dieses Zimmer habe ich sofort wieder verlassen und habe an der Rezeption mit einem Upgrade für 20 €. Die Nacht, ein Zimmer mit Balkon mir Seite bekommen. Im fünften Stock. Das war so herrlich und hat mich so glücklich gemacht. Das würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen. Bei dem Frühstück handelt es sich um ein typisch britisches Frühstück, der Kaffee war lecker. Die Dachterrasse und der Pool waren auch in einem guten Zustand. In dieser Lage kann ich das Hotel für den Preis sehr empfehlen.

Staff were great. Bed was not changed once in whole stay. Advertised with pool but pool and terrace was closed whole stay so had to pay 20 euro each to go on pool opposite until Wednesday then went up to 35 euro each as summer started, not good to have to pay extra when advertised with pool and terrace

Trevligt hotell med bra frukost, bra poolområde på taket med en härlig vy mot Valletta och inloppet. Ett par minuters promenad till Färjan över till Valletta. Rent och fräsht hotell, trevlig personal. Enda att klaga på var väl att kalla det för balkong?? En liten balkong in mot en liten öppen yta och andra rum ett par meter ifrån. Fungerade att hänga badbyxor på. Annars kan jag rekomendera detta hotell.

Good points: location, attentive employees, part brand new building ( my room with new bathroom). Bad points: Booked the hotel with pool and roof top bar, both were closed everyday. Very limited facilities- the reception in the photo does not exist and there is not even one sofa or armchair there to use, but only a few chair. Breakfast very very basic, limited and exactly the same everyday.

Very basic hotel it is no way a 4 star rated hotel and the price was too high for our stay there. There were better hotels at lower prices. They show the swimming pool but this was not open to use. The room we were given was terrible with no external light coming into the room. We had to pay extra for a room that had external light coming in. The breakfast was poor it had not much option. Only Pork/ham items in breakfast for meat - this was not suitable for us as we do not eat pork. What about having chicken items as well?

Vi valgte dette hotel, fordi der på Hotel.com stod, at værelserne store, og der var pool på taget. Der stod, at værelserne var på 20 m2, hvilket de i hvertfald ikke var måske knap 15 m2. Endvidere var der anført på Hotel.com, at der var en pool på taget. Det var der også, men den var lukket. Hotellet sagde, at den kun var sæson åbent. Det forstod vi ikke, for dagstemperaturen var 30 grader, samtidig med, at vi kunne se, at andre hotel poools var åbne. På Hotel.com stod der ikke noget om sæson åbning! Hotellet var klassificeret til 4 stjerner, hvad hotellet slet ikke levede op til. Det bar præg af at være slidt. En uge tidligere boede vi på nabo hotellet, som er klassificeret til tre stjerner. Det hotel fremstår langt bedre end Hotel Kennedy Nova. Prisen på overnatningen på de to hoteller er den samme.

Här kommer mina tankar efter 5 nätter på hotel kennedy nova. + mycket trevlig personal, hjälpsam +platsen, perfekt för den som inte vill vara mitt i smeten i Valetta men samtidigt vill ha lättillgängligheten till allt. Fantastiskt placering då strandpromenad, båtar och massvis med restauranger var direkt utanför hotellet + nära till huvudstaden +lugnt område +billigt igenförelse med övriga hotell när jag bokade - dålig frukost , få alternativ speciellt för den med intolerans och dieter som vegetarian. - lyhört - trasiga saker på rummet och väldigt dammigt/smutsigt min allergi var värre än den varit på länge Rekommenderar trots allt för den som inte söker lyx och kan tänka sig en halvdant hotell men med alla andra fördelar. Observera att det inte alls lever upp till dina 4 hotell stjärnor

In the bathroom the flush gets stuck every time. The air conditioning is loud and you can't sleep and it's dirty, you can see it with the naked eye. Hair dryer broken (despite reporting, nothing happened ). The general condition of the room and hotel very poor and not encouraging. The breakfast is not good and not even filling because the woman behind the glass puts it on the plate and if you want more she looks at you frowningly/ almost angry - despite all you can eat breakfast. The only advantage is the view from the 7th floor and the location

It started off badly from the second we opened the door to our room. The room absolutely stank of cigarettes and smoke. It was overpowering. We had to keep the door open for hours as so bad and it never went away. We booked a seaview room and paid more for this. The view was nice, road busy but expected that. There was no tea /coffee making facilities in the room which was disappointing. I used the bathroom and the tap on bath was very wobbly and the floor was covered in hairs. The dust behind the TV was thick. Only two pillows in bed. Both so flat, was like sleeping without. There was no duvet on bed, just a sheet. There was a blanket in wardrobe, but this was covered in both numerous human dog hairs, so we could not use that, so had to sleep with just a sheet. Well I use sleep loosely. We were kept awake all night by the students staying in the hotel running and screaming up and down the stairs and having a party in the room next door all night and I mean all night. There was an interconnecting door to our room and at some point in the night students came into our room!! We had come to the hotel for the night from Gozo where we live, as I had an operation at 0730 the next day so wanted to relax and get a good nights sleep, but this was impossible. My husband went for breakfast after dropping me off at hospital. He said was like a school canteen with all the students. So loud and noisy and running around. We ran a bnb for many years and was shocked staying here.

Het Hotel was zeer schoon en netjes. De hoofd huishouding, Beatrice, controleerde regelmatig het werk van de housekeeping en vroeg ook persoonlijk of we tevreden waren met de netheid en schoonmaak van de hotel kamer. De ligging aan de haven is ideaal, zodra je het Hotel uitstapt sta je midden in het bruisende stadscentrum van Sliema. Ontbijt is prima maar niet bijzonder, met enige kleine aanpassingen zou deze naar een hoger niveau gebracht kunnen worden. Eén gekookt eitje, een wafel automaat en wat meer variatie in vleeswaren zou je het van een 6 naar een 8 brengen. Bij sommige personeels leden mis je de passie voor het vak. Het is werk en niet meer dan dat.

Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.

Overall a good experience and so much credit must go to the gentleman managing the bar when a group of Turkish teens decided to do bombing in the pool when a lady and her young son were enjoying some peace and time together ( they left very upset ) but the manager of the bar dealt with them quick - also dealt with the youths playing football in the hall very quick . It’s hard to deal with these type of people and they can book anywhere but respect to them all for dealing with them very quick . The bed in 208 is extremely noisy ! Soundproofing on the toilet would be a bonus !. Breakfast was good but sadly the people around me were not - lady telling people loudly about her dogs access popping while I’m eating was not nice and I never went back as I would have gave her a mouth full of abuse - ( vile woman) No complaints about the Hotel , very clean very good to everything . I nearly cancelled due to reading the reviews - but glad I did not - very happy with my stay and the way they deal very prompt with scumbags ! . Cleaners are SUPERB , can’t fault any of the staff at all . Go ahead and book with confidence . I will book again next year - rooftop bar is great with small bats flying around the front of the hotel and everywhere in Malta ( I’m a bat lover ) very friendly bar manager from Nepal made me feel very welcome . IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS ITS GREAT

Incredible location. So many bars, cafes, shops and restaurants around. Very close to all public transportation (to and from airport, as well as all over the island.) The lobby/breakfast area and bar are all gorgeous. The gentleman working at the front desk when I checked in was so friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say is the property (well, at least my room) is slightly worn down. The air conditioning didn't really work in my room and it was very warm. The toilet didn't flush properly and the water ran. The wifi in my room was very weak and barely worked. However - the place is still VERY serviceable for a quick stay. Price is right, and had way more positives than negatives. Those were more just minor inconveniences. Oh, if you get the "sea view", it's fascinating. The balcony in my room was divine. Highly recommend that.

The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.

Hotellet hadde fin beliggenhet. Hyggelig personal og stort sett god service. Problemet er at rommene er veldig lytte, alt bråk høres fra gangene og det ble plagsomt når det var mange ungdommer i samme etasje tid som oss.

The room was dated, however clean...nice view overlooking the sea...nosey at night. Breakfast was dreadful...no choice and had to wait to be served...cold!! This is the 16th time we have been to Malta..last minute booking so our normal hotel was booked up...will not stay here again, not the 4 star quality we are used to 😏

Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.

Deux nuits dans une chambre qui n'avait rien à voir avec ce que nous avions réservé: crade, pas de clim, pas de télé, pas de sèche-cheveux, bruits de la rue... Lorsque nous avons demandé une chambre digne de ce nom nous nous sommes fait insulter (kiss my ass...) par le réceptionniste qui était tout autant agressif (il voulait se battre...). Nous avons tout de même eu une chambre correcte pour les deux dernières nuits. Un peu tard quand même. Je ne recommande donc pas du tout cet hôtel sauf si vous êtes sado-maso

Här kommer mina tankar efter 5 nätter på hotel kennedy nova. + mycket trevlig personal, hjälpsam +platsen, perfekt för den som inte vill vara mitt i smeten i Valetta men samtidigt vill ha lättillgängligheten till allt. Fantastiskt placering då strandpromenad, båtar och massvis med restauranger var direkt utanför hotellet + nära till huvudstaden +lugnt område +billigt igenförelse med övriga hotell när jag bokade - dålig frukost , få alternativ speciellt för den med intolerans och dieter som vegetarian. - lyhört - trasiga saker på rummet och väldigt dammigt/smutsigt min allergi var värre än den varit på länge Rekommenderar trots allt för den som inte söker lyx och kan tänka sig en halvdant hotell men med alla andra fördelar. Observera att det inte alls lever upp till dina 4 hotell stjärnor

Hotel staff polite, supportive and courteous. I arrived at the hotel a day late due to unforeseen difficulties, the arrival was at 1am. I had previously sent a email relating to the delay. The staff reception officer was very helpful and when l explained the delayed arrival he was extremely professional ensuring a room was available with suitable amenities. The air conditioning was effective, particularly during the hot nights. Would definitely return and spend few days break at the accommodation and recommend to family and friends.

Incredible location. So many bars, cafes, shops and restaurants around. Very close to all public transportation (to and from airport, as well as all over the island.) The lobby/breakfast area and bar are all gorgeous. The gentleman working at the front desk when I checked in was so friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say is the property (well, at least my room) is slightly worn down. The air conditioning didn't really work in my room and it was very warm. The toilet didn't flush properly and the water ran. The wifi in my room was very weak and barely worked. However - the place is still VERY serviceable for a quick stay. Price is right, and had way more positives than negatives. Those were more just minor inconveniences. Oh, if you get the "sea view", it's fascinating. The balcony in my room was divine. Highly recommend that.

Hotel correct rapport qualité prix. Cependant l'arrivée d'un groupe d'une centaine d'enfants entre 8 et 15 ans a sensiblement augmenté le niveau sonore de l'hôtel, de 7h du matin à minuit ! Je m'en suis plaint, mais le personnel n'a strictement rien fait.

Overall a good experience and so much credit must go to the gentleman managing the bar when a group of Turkish teens decided to do bombing in the pool when a lady and her young son were enjoying some peace and time together ( they left very upset ) but the manager of the bar dealt with them quick - also dealt with the youths playing football in the hall very quick . It’s hard to deal with these type of people and they can book anywhere but respect to them all for dealing with them very quick . The bed in 208 is extremely noisy ! Soundproofing on the toilet would be a bonus !. Breakfast was good but sadly the people around me were not - lady telling people loudly about her dogs access popping while I’m eating was not nice and I never went back as I would have gave her a mouth full of abuse - ( vile woman) No complaints about the Hotel , very clean very good to everything . I nearly cancelled due to reading the reviews - but glad I did not - very happy with my stay and the way they deal very prompt with scumbags ! . Cleaners are SUPERB , can’t fault any of the staff at all . Go ahead and book with confidence . I will book again next year - rooftop bar is great with small bats flying around the front of the hotel and everywhere in Malta ( I’m a bat lover ) very friendly bar manager from Nepal made me feel very welcome . IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS ITS GREAT

Trevligt hotell med bra frukost, bra poolområde på taket med en härlig vy mot Valletta och inloppet. Ett par minuters promenad till Färjan över till Valletta. Rent och fräsht hotell, trevlig personal. Enda att klaga på var väl att kalla det för balkong?? En liten balkong in mot en liten öppen yta och andra rum ett par meter ifrån. Fungerade att hänga badbyxor på. Annars kan jag rekomendera detta hotell.

The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.

Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Good points: location, attentive employees, part brand new building ( my room with new bathroom). Bad points: Booked the hotel with pool and roof top bar, both were closed everyday. Very limited facilities- the reception in the photo does not exist and there is not even one sofa or armchair there to use, but only a few chair. Breakfast very very basic, limited and exactly the same everyday.

Very basic hotel it is no way a 4 star rated hotel and the price was too high for our stay there. There were better hotels at lower prices. They show the swimming pool but this was not open to use. The room we were given was terrible with no external light coming into the room. We had to pay extra for a room that had external light coming in. The breakfast was poor it had not much option. Only Pork/ham items in breakfast for meat - this was not suitable for us as we do not eat pork. What about having chicken items as well?

Hôtel avec piscine en roof top très bien situé pour visiter La Valette et les 3 cités. Le personnel est très agréable et réactif. Le petit déjeuner propose du sucré comme du salé sous forme de buffet. La chambre était conforme à la photo ; le mobilier mériterait néanmoins d’être renouvelé et la salle de bain rafraîchie mais le rapport qualité prix reste correct pour l’ensemble de la prestation.

Very clean, room service daily. Great staff even the cleaners were friendly. We ate mainly in the Seashore and breakfast in the restaurant looked very good although we only had a light meal of fruit or toast. We opted for a room with a balcony but found that it was too hot to use until the afternoon, even then we could only cope with about 20 minutes. Also discovered that you cannot release the sliding door from the balcony to the room from the balcony, if you close it fully. Had to contact reception to get someone up to open it from inside the room. There ought to be a warning about that. If we had not had a phone with us we could have been trapped 5 floors up. It would also have been nice to have coffee/tea making facilities in the room

Had to contact reception to get someone up to open it from inside the room. There ought to be a warning about that. If we had not had a phone with us we could have been trapped 5 floors up. It would also have been nice to have coffee/tea making facilities in the room

We rented 3 rooms in in 2 of those the AC was not working. Also the shower tab was not useful, was not working. Staf was not of much help either. So that is the reason for 21/2 stars
