Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sliema Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request higher floors — 4th or 5th — facing away from Triq in-Nazzarenu. These will catch cross-breezes off the sea and dodge most street noise, while the lift can get busy at lower levels.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor, particularly those at the front overlooking the main street. That stretch of Triq in-Nazzarenu carries local traffic and footfall, plus the lift motor and ground-floor lobby hum will be more audible.
Best views
With no sea frontage given, the best view is probably a side-angle glimpse of the Sliema promenade or Valletta from a high floor, north-facing window. Avoid rooms looking directly onto Triq in-Nazzarenu at low level.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are best. Above the lift mechanism and far enough from street level to reduce traffic rumble. Ask for a side wing if the hotel has one — likely quieter than central-facing rooms.
🔊 Noise notes
Triq in-Nazzarenu is a main Sliema artery with buses, motorbikes, and delivery vans from early morning until late evening. The hotel’s narrow street bend amplifies engine noise. Windows may be double-glazed but not soundproof.
Insider tips
1) Use the side alley entrance to unload luggage — saves wrestling bags through the main lobby. 2) Check-in early (after 2pm) to secure a higher floor; the reception won’t hold a specific room unless you call ahead. 3) If you’re driving, ask about the nearest public car park (Sliema Ferries or Tigné) — this hotel likely has no on-site parking.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Sliema
💡 Go early – before 10am for the best selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Bring small change. Cash only at most stalls.
💡 Visit just after 9am on a weekday to avoid crowds. The interior lighting is best in the morning for photos of the altar and ceiling frescoes.
💡 Head to the far end past the shopping centre for the quietest spot with benches. Great for a picnic with uninterrupted views of Valletta's fortifications.
💡 The fort's outer bastions are open to the public. Walk around the perimeter for the best angles and to see the original gun emplacements. No entrance fee even when interior is closed.
💡 Start at Tigné Point just before sunset and walk north. You'll catch the sun setting over Valletta, and the breeze keeps it cool even in summer.
