Strand Suites by Neu Collective

Amazing hotel, feel like it's brand new. The mattress was comfortable, smart TV and all the amenities. You also get free tickets to their pool. I would definitely recommend it.

We arrived before check in, so we dropped our bags off and had a quick freshen up. First impressions weren’t brilliant, very dirty reception area/toilet due to workmen in the hotel. We went for lunch whilst we waited for the room to be ready. (The location is great) Check in was on time and the room itself was nice and clean. The main issue we faced is that the hotel is half finished, half of it is a literal building site (bare brick/no floors) and if you take the stairs to have to walk through it all. There is one lift, which is used a lot by the work men therefore is filthy and patched up with cardboard and tape. Each morning we were woken up at 7am by extremely loud banging/drilling vibrating the room. So loud that the TV didn’t even mask the sound. I believe no work should start til at least 9am when guests are present. I would imagine once the works are finished it would be a brilliant hotel and good value for money. It’s just a shame we weren’t made aware of this beforehand.

Do not book this hotel! It is a CONSTRUCTION SITE, where there is NOISE pollution from early in the morning until late at night, and dust everywhere, as most of the floors are not yet finished! The hotel does not comply with its information obligation and does not inform travelers about this in advance. They do have a plan in place to move people to the sister hotel 115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective (where facilities such as fitness, wellness and breakfast are also located). We went there to get away from the noise, and ended up in an old-fashioned, MUSTY room in a remote wing of the hotel. This was supposedly an upgrade. The rooms were poorly isolated, and here too we found no peace. The fact that IT RAINED IN THE HALLWAY AND IN THE ROOMS didn't really feel like an upgrade, especially when other guests had to move at 3AM due to flooding... Except for a small compensation for the 2 nights in the Strand Suites by NEU Collective, 115 The Strand refused any compensation, and blamed any poor experiences on the neighbors' old building. Terrible experience, absolutely not recommended, we will never go back!

With Valletta and Malta having so much to offer, I would rather not stay in that part of Gzira/Sliema at a next visit. However, the amenities of the hotel were nice, the room was spacious and well organized for a stay that was part work, part holidays. The hotel internet had a good connection and high speed. Some overall dustiness in the building due to ongoing renovations, was balanced with a good price.

We had a great stay in Malta, the island is amazing, and so small it is easily available. We used Bolt for all the travellig, and it worked out very cheap. Nearby the hotell was construction works, but they did not disturb us, as they were working through the times we were out the hotel. The aqua luna is very close, and it is great for lounging. Food there is also decent, a bit on a pricey side compare to local cafes, but this to be expected by the pool.

Visited Strand Suites in May for 3 nights. Really great central location. Close to bars, shops and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wish I’d got names to personally thank. Super rooftop pool and complementary access to aqualuna lido complex, which was amazing! Rooms clean and modern, beds very comfy. Could leave second bottle of water for double occupancy and a bit more coffee and milk. Altogether a really lovely stay and would definitely return.

Strand Suites has the worst customer service. Very rude front desk management. Specially Janette at front desk informed us that she is not responsible for the hotel. Whatever goes wrong is not her responsibility. The bathroom smelled like gutter as the sink was clogged. We had booked another room for an extended stay and she was reluctant in assisting us and very condescending. Do not recommend it all. Had a horrid experience with them.

The room was dirty, we had only one bottle of water and one solid soap for 2 pers, shower tub broken and glued with silicone, noise from works early in the morning, steps of white dust on the corridor from the workers - not cleand.

Amazing staff, loctation, room and service. My only complaint is that in the twin room the beds could be a bit further apart. The checkin and checkout experience was excellent, and the room amenities was excellent
