Cosy Albert's Seaside Suites (Sliema)

The first 3 nights were ok! Until the fourth night

The first 3 nights were ok! Until the fourth night that 4 cockroaches appeared in our bathroom and the landlord didn’t reply to our message immediately. He said he would have the cleaner fix the problem the next day, she came and she didn’t clean the bathroom properly. She didn’t even change our towels who were on the floor. Our experience was bad.

The staff was very kind and helpful. All the necessities were available, and we had everything we needed. The TV even had Netflix installed. We were also very satisfied with how the apartment was equipped – everything was new and modern.

While we understand that this might be difficult to change, we felt a bit uncomfortable that our room didn’t have a proper window. The only window faced the interior of the building, so there was no fresh air circulation, and at times the room felt a bit warm and humid. We were okay with the fact that the bathroom was external, but the window in the bathroom looked directly toward the laundry area and kitchen. This made us feel a little uneasy when someone was in those spaces, as the window wasn’t fully covered and there was limited privacy.

The location was good, two streets away of the sea and there were few markets 3min walk away.

I would not recommend this place. I am a very simple person and I know to value people’s effort but this place was an unpleasant experience. The room is very claustrophobic and the cleanliness was at the lowest. When we came the bed had hair on the linen and in the bathroom there was a bed smelling and dirty rug on which we were supposed to put our feet on after the shower (we didn’t of course). The towels also didn’t smell very nice. The biggest problem to me were the cockroaches of which we weren’t told about but in the room there was a whole explanation on how to deal with them. First of all this is a problem that one has to communicate with the upcoming guest. The curtains were dirty and they had black stains on them and also the AC made some really loud noise and we couldn’t use it. When we asked for new bedsheets we waited for an answer as to when they would come to change them so that we can rearrange our things and our pillow cases. We didn’t get a reply and they went in and changed the bed sheets without our knowledge and they took both of our pillow cases. When the day came for the check out, they aggressively knocked on the door at 9:20 in the morning and they tried to get in the room even though our paid time in the room and our check out was at 10:00. For me this was a total disrespect of my privacy and totally unprofessional behavior. (And this is not a fault of the cleaning lady! There was some other woman demanding us to leave and ticking on her clock)

It has everything you can think of. The fully functional kitchen, washing machine and dryer for clothes, fridge, dehumidifyer, aircondition itd. Its close to the main street/coast so everything is near (bus stops, shops, pool bars etc.).

Very clean accommodation, with everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The location was close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. Communication with the host was great,always available, kind, and helpful whenever we needed something. Overall, the place felt warm and cozy.Highly recommended!

Clean location
