The rest is so so- very poor breakfast and they seem like they stopped themselves in pandemic- buffet behind the plastic wall. Scrambled eggs made of powder. There is no electric kettle in the room. Chairs at the balcony dirty with dust. The hotel doesn’t want to give an invoice if the booking was done by booking.com

The best is the location.

Location

As above - late cleaning of rooms. Eggs. The roof top bar was not open. Considering it was March, this is perhaps understandable, but there is a magnificient view from the balcony up there, even if it is too cold to use the pool.

The room was OK and the bed comfortable. The cleanliness was OK eventually, but often not done until late in the day, which was sometimes inconvenient. Breakfast OK, but not as good as it had been on my previous visits ( I have been several times now). Eggs scrambled only, unless a special request is made for fried, etc., and also scrambled eggs go cold too quicly when put on unwarmed plates.

The double room without view was dire - it was dark ( though spacious ) and looked out at the shaft of the hotel i.e. a concrete wall about 4 metres away with window opposite. Not worth the money. The air conditioning in the double with sea view did not work properly. We had to ask for a fan after the first night ( which they did bring ). The quality of the breakfast was poor. It looked inviting ( a full English ) but all the items were not good at all. The staff at the hotel did not have the basic knowledge of where the bus stopped to go to Valetta, or information about transport to Mdina etc.

The double room with seaview was lovely. The location was very good - near the shops and restaurants and ferry back to Valetta.

Hotel does NOT deserve more than 2 stars - after it is largely refurbished - most equipment is Old and used,especially bathroom - breakfast is less than mediocre and COLD this is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

The bed was horrendous. So hard, thin and uncomfortable. The hotel room and the whole hotel need a refurb. The balcony door was so hard to open and it locked itself with me out on the balcony. The breakfast was the worst I have had. Served for you from behind the Perspex- the sausages were like rubber, the bacon like shoe leather and the scrambled eggs disgusting. Same every day. I skipped it. The pool area is run down and there is no view from the pool loungers.

The location was great. Close to Ponsonby bus stop and close to the ferry departures. It had a magnificent view from the balcony and from Level 7 where the pool is located.But cafe tables get the view not the pool loungers. 2 for 1 cocktails at happy hour 5-7pm.

Value for money was not right. The prices are too high for not a good quality room.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not too good. Location was good. Rooms were clean, although dark, with really old decorations and broken furniture. Tv channels were only in Dutch or German.

Stayed in September 2023

Rooms worn out and old. Hotel is rated with 4* though. Mattresses were hard and beds made a noise when one turned over. A few guests were drunk during happy hour at the roof top bar and started to harass other guests. Hotel staff did nothing.

Have stayed at the hotel many times. Lobby and roof top restaurant offer drinks and food all day and are worth a visit. Breakfast buffet very simple and warm food is served from behind plexiglass. Rooms have AC and a fan. Staff friendly but did have problems with understanding English. Good public connection.

Breakfast had only pork options, no other types of meat, sausages and ham were pork, which was kind of discriminating because it is well known that there are people who do not eat pork due to religios reasons. Also the same breakfast every day.

Kind and polite staff. Everything was quite clean and neat

Very nice people at the reception. Rooms are not nice, toilet was terrible. The lift quite scary , very noisy . I had a very bad sleep...people shouting around but I can understand that it s not the Hotel problem. Breakfast very bad presented and not good quality. Best part the roof with a very nice sweeming pool and amazing view. Nice bar tender.

Hotel rooms doesn’t have any soundproof isolation so you can hear everything from rooms next to your and from the hall. In description of room should be written that they have UK electric plugs. Overall, hotel and rooms need some updates as they are a bit old buy anyway for short stay you have everything what you need.

very nice and polite staff, willing to help. Hotel and rooms were very clean. They have typical continental breakfast with ham, scrambled eggs, sausages, fruit,… Position of hotel is very good, 2 bus stations are nearby, a lot of bars and restaurants around. on the top of hotel there is pool and beautiful view to city.

The room itself is of a low standard, it can be seen that it has not been renovated for many years, but with a charming view of the Marina from the balcony.

We were able to find accommodation in this hotel late after 10 pm as we had to leave the previous because the owner did not prepare a room for us, exposing us to danger. We reached the hotel Kennedy Nova on foot, walking 3 km along the Marina. It wasn't hard to find the hotel. We were warmly greeted by receptionist lady from Poland, who helped us a lot, facilitated the accommodation and gave tips on what we should visit and where to go.

The room & hotel are very dated, in desperate need of modernisation. A sofa bed used as a main bed is not acceptable. No tea & coffee provided, although kettle etc is. A Very noisy hotel & this is in January. The full English breakfast buffet was basically cold every morning & the staff in the restaurant made no effort to make you feel welcome or converse in any form of conversation . Minimal bedding provided. Probably a 1 star hotel at best.

Great location.

We booked an apartment with a kitchen and breakfast, but we didn't get the one that was in the picture. Instead, we got an apartment with a kitchen that has a two-seater sofa, which had a mattress over it instead of a regular bed. The mattress folded in half when sleeping, so we woke up every morning with back pain. Also the blanket was very dirty.

The location, staff and breakfast are very good. The hotel is old, but has everything that you need..

Room not new but has what is required for a good stay. In the weekend a nearby pub/bar plays very loud music making it impossible to take a nap in the room with the terrace door open, but you could go to the rooftop pool area and nap there instead. WiFi connection not too good at my room with random drops of connection - I used the WiFi of the neighboring hotel instead and that worked out very well. In room Air-condition also not in the best working condition.

Great location, great staff and good burgers at the restaurant. Little kiosk right next door which sell the necessities like water, ice cream etc. Rooftop pool area with a great view and not too crowded. Room with harbor view benefit from a cool breeze during hot days.

In room description there was promised room with bath an shower, but they gave us room without bath and didn't agree to change the room. A/C in room din't work. After first complain they sayd, that it starts working at 7PM and works only at night-time and we shouldn't expect it to work in a middle of the day. Since it didn't work at night also, we complained again and they sent someone to fix it. After 1 min fixing, it started to blow, but only warm air and didn't cool at all. After next complain they promised to fix it during the day, but it din't happened. So we didn't waste our time to further complaining and accepted, that the room wasn't air conditioned. Not any refund or whatsoever of cource:)

Location is perfect. Restorans, shops, bus-stations - all are right next to door. Nice view over the bay and harbour. Room wasn't spacious, but clean and really ok. Bed was big enaugh and confortable, though the pillows are like small envelopes:)
