I stayed at Carlton Hotel for 2 weeks and I had a great experience. What I remember the most about my stay was the attentiveness and great service by the Hotel staff. They didn`t hesitate at all in helping out. This is classified as a 3-star hotel and this is also what you get. The room was ok, not too small and not too big. It had all the necessary amenities, nothing more nothing less. Everything worked including the aircondition. Another positive experience was the location, in the heart of Sliema and just 5-10 minute walk to St.Julian`s, Spinola Bay and Paceville. I had a great time, but I didn`t expect more than a 3-star either. That is important to be aware of. If you expect 4 or 5 star service and quality at a 3 star hotel, you are doomed to be disappointed.
