Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic location of the hotel, right in the heart of Valletta and close to everything. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff, while incredibly kind, could use a bit more knowledge about the neighborhood. The dining experience offered fresh cooked-to-order meals, but the breakfast was served according to a strict regime. The facilities were satisfactory overall, and the central yet quiet location was a big win for me.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the staff was really friendly and welcoming. However, the dining experience could use some improvement with a more varied selection. The location was perfect for exploring Valetta and surroundings without a car. Overall, good value for money.
The hotel had nicely designed rooms, albeit a bit small with windows that cannot be opened. It was clean and of decent size, facing an internal corridor. The service was professional and accommodating, truly reflecting Maltese Hospitality at all levels. The location was superb, within easy reach of bars, restaurants, and key attractions. The dining experience offered delicious options but missed the presence of fruit with standard items. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor room limitations.
The hotel provided a mix of positives and negatives: the rooms, though compact, were well-equipped and warm; however, noise could be an issue at times. The service from the reception staff was incredible and welcoming, making up for any minor inconveniences. The location in the heart of beautiful Valletta was spot on for exploring, with easy access to transportation and dining options. The dining experience, while of good quality, had limited breakfast choices. Overall, a cozy stay with attentive service in a prime location.
The hotel offers a larger room with a cute French balcony facing the front street, but the noisy air-conditioner can be disruptive. Unfortunately, the room feels dark throughout the day, giving a cave-like atmosphere. I wouldn't choose to return for a nightcap at the hotel.
The hotel has stylish and well-laid out rooms, but some don't have a window or balcony; equipped for wheelchair users. The service is very friendly and efficient but could use a manager. The location is perfect for visiting cultural sites and offers easy access to amenities. The dining experience has a great variety but some restrictions. Overall, a good value for money option.
