115 the Strand Hotel by Neu Collective

Review: 115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective Stayed: May 16–19 The location of the hotel is excellent — very convenient for getting around, and check-in was smooth. We stayed in Room 609, which was a standard room, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The room felt very small and the decor was dull and depressing. The bathroom was extremely tiny — even for two petite women, it was uncomfortable. Sitting on the toilet, your knees almost touch the sink, and the shower space is so tight you can barely turn around. The hallway had a musty smell, possibly from water leakage. Overall, the room experience was not pleasant. The lobby staff were not very helpful. They didn’t tell us about the facilities on the 8th floor — there’s a small sauna, jacuzzi, and a tiny indoor pool. If I had known earlier, I would’ve taken advantage and enjoyed some time there despite the limited size. That said, the rest of the hotel facilities were much better. The rooftop restaurant was a highlight — the food was delicious and the views were beautiful and uplifting, especially during breakfast. A big bonus was access to the outdoor pool at Aqualuna Malta just across the street. I spent two lovely days there enjoying the ocean view with a bottle of Prosecco — very relaxing. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but only if I can book a better room. The location and facilities are great — just be aware of the room quality and ask about all the amenities upfron!

It was good. Location not ideal for us but it was in front of the marina with many shops and restaurants around. The room (double with sea view) was very small, in some cases we were jumping over our luggages. The view was breath taking for sure. We had paid for a different room for the last day of our staying (due to the fact that there were no longer dates available for the first room). The second room was an executive one, very spacious and we loved it! We were a little bit disappointed by the interior pool, wich was not heated and really small. Breakfast had many choices but 1.) the breakfast room was small and we were waiting in long queues just to be sitted in a table and 2.) the staff talked in a really bad tone to us about the take away policy, which was not needed. All hotel staff was really kind and helpful regardless some minor misunderstandings. The hotel has its own restaurant, a 24/7 convenient store and an ATM. Also, it has a bar restaurant with a big pool just across the street. It was a nice staying, not great but nice, clean and safe.

Very good view and the breakfast is good. The staff is helpful and very close to the bus stop.
