The hotel is in a very nice place right facing the harbor with Valletta opposite. It's excellent for being close to the Sliema-Valletta ferry terminal and Sliema shopping area. But it's very crowded, and finding parking is almost impossible.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had sea view balconies and were conveniently located near shops, transport links to Valletta, restaurants, and bars, but they were noisy and some had unpleasant odors. Service was satisfactory with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and efficient assistance with setting up a cot for my daughter, although the staff were not overly cooperative. The location was bustling but ideal for accessing the bus stop to Valletta and the Sliema shopping area, offering practicality for exploring Malta. The dining experience was pleasant with a good value breakfast overlooking the harbor, despite limited hot food options. Facilities were decent, catering to basic needs.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were more beautiful and spacious than expected, although we had to settle for a different room due to high occupancy. The location was excellent for exploring the island, offering a sea view room where I could watch the sunrise each morning. The dining experience was good, with a welcoming atmosphere, but I wish there were more variety of dishes available.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The room, though small, had a terrible issue with the pipes but still offered a partial sea view, which was much appreciated. The design was beautiful, with easy access to electric sockets and USB ports, creating a quiet and clean environment. The hotel is situated in a sought-after location, although a bit noisy due to the busy area of Malta. The service I received was absolutely fantastic, with the staff going above and beyond to solve any issues and being incredibly kind and helpful. The location is excellent for exploring the area, with easy access to major shops, restaurants, and tourist trips to Valletta and the ferry to Gozo/Comino. Dining was average but included in the rate, offering a continental option that could use some improvement in variety. Fresh coffee was a nice touch during my stay.

The hotel is in a great location, close to many restaurants and bars, offering comfortable and clean rooms. However, the service had some issues with regular requests and a bathroom leak. The dining options, although good, might not be the best value for money. The location stands out as a positive feature, while service could be improved.

Despite some minor inconveniences caused by the ongoing renovations, our stay at 115 The Strand Hotel and Suites was pleasant.

The hotel had a mixed experience with cozy rooms decorated in an art-deco style but lacking proper ventilation, making it feel a bit confined at times. Despite this, the large terrace and chic decor added a touch of elegance. The service was friendly and accommodating, focusing on the guests' needs. The location was ideal for exploring Valetta and enjoying stunning harbor views, yet some noise and plastic elements were noticeable. The dining offered a wide variety of tasty meals, though some areas were less extensive. Overall, a decent stay for a short visit.
