Bottom Line

The upper-middle-range Rocca Nettuno is a cheerful all-suite property located in a quiet area of Sliema, near public transportation, restaurants, and shops. Its 40 rooms, all decorated with bright lime-green and aquamarine accents, dark wood furniture, and wicker finishes, have separate living areas and basic cooking facilities (no cooktop or sink, though). The rooftop plunge pool is a favorite among couples and families in the warmer months, and the restaurant serves fresh Mediterranean cuisine in a chic space with cute nature-themed decor. Park Hotel has lower rates and a fitness center, but rooms at Rocca Nettuno have more character.

LABRANDA Rocca Nettuno Suites

Scene

Cute, cheerful all-suite boutique with nature-themed decor throughout

Although from the outside the Rocca Nettuno looks more generic than stylish, interiors here are chic and cute, with a lime-green and white palette, minimalist furniture, and colorful LED lighting. The lobby is fresh and contemporary, with a long white front desk that has a narrow display window decorated with beach pebbles and shells, and a few white cushioned chairs with lime-green accent pillows. High above the front desk, large green leaves are a first taste of the hotel’s nature-inspired decor, which continues in the restaurant and lounge area. Large mural photos of a rainforest decorate the wall behind the bar, and several smaller images of olive tree branches adorn the dining room. With wicker-style black and white furniture, and an accent wall with a curvy design in lime green, the restaurant and bar feel stylish yet casual and cheerful. Green and purple mood lighting lends the space a young, playful vibe, but the hotel draws couples of all ages, as well as families with children.

Location

Central but quiet location in Sliema, a couple of blocks from the heart of the action

The hotel is located on a quiet street near the heart of the action in vibrant Sliema Ferry. There are dozens of restaurants and bars within an easy walking distance, and a couple of shopping centers and strips can be found within a couple of blocks from the hotel. Although tucked away on a quiet block, the Rocca Nettuno is a good base to explore the island, as it is less than five minutes on foot from ferries to Valletta and other parts of Malta, and from a bus stop to with service to St. Julian's and the airport. The Promenade, which runs along the coast and has beautiful sea views, is just a couple of blocks from the hotel as well. The airport is a 25-minute drive away.

All suites have large separate living areas complete with dining tables and sofa beds for an extra guest or two (depending on room size), and large windows letting in lots of light. All units are equipped with basic cooking facilities, including microwaves, toasters, electric kettles, and full fridges, but no stovetop or sinks. Additionally, all units have free Wi-Fi, large flat-screen TVs, and safes.

Features

The rooftop pool is the highlight at Rocca Nettuno. Although small and shallow, it is a pleasant spot for a quick dip during the warm months, and a tranquil retreat in the winter.

The hotel’s stylish restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine, including sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, salads, and pizzas. The bar has a nice selection of drinks and snacks, a large screen for sports events, and a lounge area with comfy seating.
