Great location

The hotel was in a great location near the sea and shops and restaurants. The breakfast was ok, but not much choice. Hotel was clean and rooms were a good size. There was a lot of noise on a night from people above walking around and moving furniture.

Cheap and cheerful and great location

Check in went well and, for the price I paid for the room, facilities were good. While it would benefit from a refurbishment, the room was comfortable and clean. If you want everything to look and work like home, this won't be the hotel for you. The location is very walkable to the ferries and buses. In fact, it's a great location and there are supermarkets and other facilities nearby. I was happy with the room and the hotel. It's a basic hotel at a basic price which is what I chose. The staff were very helpful.

Good value for money.

Very good value for money. It was very cheap so that must be taken into account. The apartment was huge and had 3 single beds and still ample space. The AC was good. I used the kitchenette for breakfast everyday which had a small oven, hob, fridge/freezer, kettle and toaster as well as pots, pans and cutlery. The negatives were it could do with a really good clean. It wasn’t too dirty but on the corners and flooring it needed a dust. Particularly the bathroom had dirty bits around the shower and a bad smell.

Does what it says on the tin

This hotel does what it says on the tin. A basic budget hotel but the price reflects that. Spotlessly clean, with a kettle, toaster, microwave, TV and air conditioning in the room. Great location, perfect if you just need a base.

This place is infested with bedbegs. I would recommend nobody stay here. This place is a solid 1 out of 10. Please don't stay here! The staff never believed me when I showed them blood stains on the pillow. They were conceived that this place location is not infested with bedbugs.

Hotel is undergoing a refit at present. A lot of rubbish and detritus was left around, which attracts rats. We saw a rat in the communal area. Room was ok, apart from there not being much hot water to use.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever! Avoid Alborada Aparthotel in Malta! My stay at Alborada Aparthotel in Malta was an absolute disaster from the moment I arrived. The room was filthy and smelled terrible, as if it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. There were bed bugs on the bed, and I woke up covered in itchy bites. To make things worse, the place was infested with mosquitoes, making it impossible to sleep or relax. The nightmare didn’t stop there — I actually got stuck in the elevator, got out but still. When I finally reported all these issues to the staff, they were rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. It’s shocking how little they care about their guests’ comfort or safety. We met customers in 414, 411, 410, 302 and 209 that reported the same issue. I’ve been traveling for a long time, and I can honestly say this was the worst hotel experiences of my life. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from Alborada Aparthotel — it’s dirty, unsafe, and the management simply doesn’t care.

Even though we paid in advance. The reception guy made us wait for a hour and also asked us to deposit money. He said that he didn't see our booking.Even when we have showed him our booking. Then we got the keys after 1 hour. When we entered the room. We got to know that it doesn't have toilet paper and there was no phone to call the receiption. Overall our stay at hotel was horrible. Wouldn't recommend anyone to live here.

The fridge was temperamental and managed to freeze our milk...twice, but we presumed that the lower number you had the dial turned to meant it would be less cool (we could have got it backwards). We had to ask for the room to be serviced. However, there is a lift which was important to my poor knees!

Hinsichtlich unserer Bedürfnisse, es mussten zwei Mountainbikes untergebracht werden, und der Lage des Hotels, war das Zimmer im 1. OG perfekt. Wir hatten eine Terrasse, auf der die Mtbs untergebracht werden konnten. Das Zimmer war sauber, die Handtücher wurden regelmäßig gewechselt. Daumen hoch!

Gente o hotel é terrível, velho, sujo, elevador pega quando quer, hotel abandonado. Parece casa de terror dentro. Localização é perfeita pra tudo mas o hotel só fede a barata e coisa velha. Tentei procurar outro local pra hospedar mas não tinha vaga. Foi um martírio ficar lá 4 dias pra mim.

Il faut garder à l'esprit que le prix est plus que convenable, cependant la publicité mensongère n'est pas acceptable. Notre arrivée se fait sur les coups de 23h. L'hôtel se trouve au fond dune galerie commerçante pas toute fraîche.... Bref. J'appelle le numéro indiqué et le réceptionniste se présente. Il nous remet les cartes d'accès à la chambre. Nous montons et là, une chambre certe vieillotte mais propre. Premier couac : deux lits simple au lieu d'un lit double ( alors que le gérant de l'hôtel m'avait confirmé quelques semaines avant par mail que nous aurions bien un lit double). Tant pis, il n'y a pas mort d'homme. Ensuite, au moment de prendre nos douches, pas d'eau chaude...... Nous nous sommes douchés à l'eau froide avant de nous apercevoir quil y avait un bouton neutre dans la cuisine (!) qui gérait le chauffe-eau..... Ensuite nous ouvrons le frigos pour y mettre nos affaires et là : frigo éteint. Il était débranché depuis pas mal de temps au vu de l'odeur. La nuit se passe et arrive le moment le plus énervant : Nous nous présentons pour le petit déjeuner ( payé dans la réservation) et là....... On nous dit gentillement : on ne fait pas les petits déjeuners. Stupeur car un longue journée nous attend et surtout, nous avons payé ces petits déjeuners... J'essaie de dialoguer avec le réceptionniste mais ce dernier insiste malgré l'affiche collée sur la vitrine où il est écrit " breakfast 8h-9h". Hallucinant. Nous avons donc payé 4 petits déjeuners ( 2X2 jours) pour rien

Cuando llegamos a las 21:00 no había nadie en recepción y eso que ponía que estaba abierta hasta las 23:00. Con suerte, las tarjetas de las habitaciones de esa noche estaban en la mesa y pudimos cogerlas y subir a la habitación. Estuvimos llamando al teléfono que indicaba en la página web pero nadie contestaba. El teléfono estaba sonando junto a nosotros. Cuando bajamos para ir a cenar apareció el chico de recepción y le explicamos la situación. Cogimos una habitación triple que no estaba mal. Lo mejor sin duda, la ubicación.

2 Sterne Hotel mit kleinen Schwächen

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 4. Stock mit Balkon. Es war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Die Betten sehr bequem. Im Zimmer gabs eine Miniküche mit Kühlschrank und Kochgelegenheit. Für angenehme Temperaturen sorgte ein leiser Deckenventilator und die Klimaanlage. TV ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Das Zimmer hat einen kleinen Balkon mit Tisch und 2 Stühlen (und "Meerblick") und ist ideal, um BadeSachen über Nacht zu trocknen. Die Möbel sind z.T. ein wenig abgewohnt aber funktionsfähig und zweckmäßig. Das Frühstück ist OK, wenn man gerne Toastbrot isst. Falls nicht, empfehle ich den kleinen Supermarkt schräg gegenüber, der eine riesige Auswahl an leckerem Brot und sonstigen Backwaren hat. Wir waren ab dem 2. Tag jeden Morgen dort. Die Lage des Hotels ist super. In 5 Minuten ust man an der Bushaltestelle oder bei der Fähre nach Valletta. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ja, in der Rezeption riecht es ein wenig muffig; im Zimmer hatten wir damit aber kein Problem. Alles in allem würde ich sagen, für ein 2-Sterne-Hotel ist das Alborada durchaus OK.
