Breakfast was decent, but more variety would help. Options like English or American breakfast would give guests more choice, as the Maltese breakfast was the only option during our five-day stay and became repetitive.

The Maltese Sun is a fabulous B&B in the heart of Sliema. Within easy reach of some excellent restaurants and close to public transport. The B&B is spotlessly clean throughout. The buffet breakfast is fabulous. Jessica, in reception, and the rest of the team are amazing. Thank you.
