Pebbles Boutique Aparthotel

The hotel is located in the heart of Sliema. 24-hour reception, luggage storage. The room itself has everything you need. The only thing was that there was not enough - table on the balcony. Good price-quality.

Fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Great location right next to the ferry to Valletta. Amazing view and lots of space in the room. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for 4 nights in double room with balcony for around £65 a night. Location in Sliema is very convenient. Entrance is not obvious, it’s a door and narrow stairway up to the reception, good thing I only had a backpack and small suitcase, otherwise elevator is in a bar/restaurant next door and I guess can only be accessed during their opening hours, so anyone with large suitcases or have difficulty with stairs should be aware. All the staff I came across was friendly and helpful, room is clean and size is decent, my room was at the back and the balcony looked out to other residential buildings on a quiet street. Toilet is poorly built and needs attention and maintenance, see photos. If you need hairdryer, will have to go to the reception to pay a deposit. The staff mentioned a jacuzzi so I went to check it out, nice in theory but it doesn’t look clean at all so didn’t try it out. Overall ok stay, nothing outstanding nothing outrageous.

First we were dropped off at the entrance to the bar , I asked our driver where we were going,he showed us the entrance, 41 steps up to the Reception. I am 73 years old, my wife is nearly blind, I had to carry both cases up myself. The apartment fine,but found some health and safety issues en route to apartment, we were talking to receptionist and it appears that the place is CLOSING for a major refurbishment on 7th Jan. Think before you try to book here!

Sliema strand plays host to this ‘aparthotel’, a reasonable option in a locality packed with a range of accommodation providers. The location is favourable, only a short stroll from the Valletta ferry and Tigne point and there are a number of eateries/drinkeries in the vicinity as well as the broader locality of Gzira and Msida. Rooms are fairly well appointed and quite modern, however, these tend to vary widely in terms of situation in the building and range of facilities provided. Some are en-suite rooms whereas others are suites with kitchenettes, some have balconies whereas others don’t. Rooms at the front of the building have sea views, those at the back have views of streets, cars and ubiquitous bags of refuse. There’s a gym that has decent facilities and a business centre, each provided for the use of all guests. Other utilities include a communal seating area, luggage store and two separate elevators for each side of the building (front/back). Apart from the view the rooftop terrace is frankly nothing to write about, the seating areas are worn and weathered and the cold-water spa pool is uninviting. WiFi is patchy throughout, TV has non-functional channels and A/C can literally be hot/cold but temperamental with it. Ambient hotel noise from water heaters and banging doors doesn’t add much to the overall vibe either. Walls are thin and neighbours tend to be noisy, after a while I lost count of how many times I was woken up by people outside shouting in the street and/or revving car engines. Overall the building is scruffy but serviceable, to call it a ‘boutique’ anything is frankly a stretch of anyone’s imagination. It’s not great value for money neither is it anything special. No breakfast or meal option(s) included in the rates. No plans to head back if and when I should ever return to Sliema, which I reckon might be a fair while if this experience is anything to go by.

Wonderful Apartment , great views though side views . No balcony but knew this when we booked , sadly to late for front site . Superbly appointed , especially kitchen . Serviced impeccably each day . Reception were very kind and very helpful , especially with ou boarding passes and some printing . The apartment block was very quiet and people staying seemed respectful of this . Yes noise from bars ….. till early am’s at weekend … but we close windows and somehow got used to it . Sad for Malta that this area like Bugibba could get a name for its self . We would return but to a front facing apartment and not in the height of summers However just one suggestion mattress protectors are needed on beds - And pillows .
