I've just returned after four days (Sunday to Thursday) and would definitely go back to the Kennedy Nova. It's true that it's not perfect but few hotels in this price bracket (I paid £70 a night for single person in a room with a balcony and stunning view but I know that it can be much, much cheaper depending on...

Just came back after a week at the Kennedy, no it's not the equivalent of a British 4* but it has everything you need; really clean, plenty of hot water, great views, very handy for the excellent local bus service and plenty of food. We went 1/2 board and the only extras we bought were ice-creams and a bottle of... More

The hotel has a nice entrance lobby which provides a good feeling about this hotel and gives a good first impression. However the rooms (we had two rooms) we booked were not that impressive. The air con unit (A/C) was not very well maintained and I wondered what it would be like during summer months. The A/C remote control didn’t... More

We spent a week here on a bed and breakfast basis, in mid-February - in the middle of the coldest weather in Malta for decades! Fortunately, we're hardy Celts, and it was O.K. The hotel is not 4 star by British standards, but we understood that from previous reviews. We used it as a place to sleep after long days... More

Booked the Hotel Fortina by phone ( I thought!?) after calling a lady in Malta via an emailed promo flyer, but ended up in the Kennedy ; 4 nights incl flights on 1/2 board, late Feb>2 March. Read reviews after discovering the unasked-for switch, and was a little concerned at some of the reviews' content. Oh well, we set off... More

I recently spent a very agreeable couple of days there. The hotel is in a great position overlooking the bay with beautiful views(particularly from the roof garden) and excellent bus services and boat links to all parts of the island. The hotel is very clean and well presented, I was met by friendly and helpful staff. Quite a few guests... More

This is the first time we've had an extended stay holiday. The hotel was classed as 4*. I would say it was more 3*. The staff were very friendly and were a credit to the hotel. We had a problem with the first room we were allocated, but we were offered, and accepted, another room, which was dark, but cosy.... More

The package we were on included an upgrade to a sea-view room with views across the harbour, sunrises ,some luxury yachts and Valletta cathedral dome . This was the best part of the hotel and if you could ignore traffic noise then it was worth it . The ground floor reception and restaurant has been recently renovated but the hotel... More
