    we were not so happy when baby elephants stayed for 2 nights in the room above us :P

    we loved everything about this property, the clean room with a fridge, the helpful and friendly staff, the amazing view of the grand harbour, the location was ideal for exploring valletta and also to access public transport to get out and about, and the huge breakfasts to start each day, We went on 2 bus tours around the island and we were very happy with our choice of hotel and particularly the location.

    Arrived late no instruction as to how to get in. Phones &!wifi didn’t connect in Malta. Was informed by a couple who turned up that we had to go up to Restaurant 2streets up (where breakfast would be served) to get help from a staff member. Taxi driver had to reverse out of street which finishes where property is

    Lift to spacious apartment. Bottled water provided daily with fresh towels. Most wonderful and hearty breakfast at restaurant location was fabulous

    There were no options of extra drinks - there was a complimentary water bottle, but nowhere else to buy in the hotel if you needed more, so I would suggest you bring your own. There was a baby crib in the room, which was a bit weird, as we were not aware of this. There was no staff around. The breakfast was not in the hotel, but you had to walk to their restaurant. At breakfast, we sat down without being given menus or explained how the breakfast worked. When we asked someone for help after sitting there for a while, we were met with a rude attitude.

    Very good location. The room was spacious with a safe, fridge and iron. The aircon was really good. Also, the room had 4 windows, which brought a lot of natural light in. The room was clean.

    Perfect short stay location for a Valletta based holiday exploring Malta and Gozo

    Bedding whilst clean was lower quality sheets and duvet cover, bed was not comfortable and had a plastic protective cover. Room can be quite noisy if you wanted to get to sleep early, noise from the downstairs street bar (Friday night local musicians too) and traffic from the nearby road, late at night and early morning.

    Perfect location for our visit, being able to easily walk to the Gozo and Birgu ferries, the excellent bus service as well as plenty of really good local restaurants. Love the room, the balcony area was perfect, seating for 2 and a view of the grand harbour. Fridge was small be helpful for a few bottles for water (or wine)

    The breakfast served in the Luciano restaurant (kitchen in the hotel under renovation) could have been better.

    The localisation is truly amazing, the hotel has a great potential Would be great if they invest a little more into the bathroom renovation. The harbour view from the room was great, cleaning ladies came every day so the room was always proper.

    Cafe part of the hotel was closed during our stay, not sure if this is seasonal or not but if it was open it would have been a real bonus.

    amazing location, even better if you have a room with a view. Steps away from the hustle and bustle of Valletta's streets and great links to the boat ferry to the three cities.

    Shower room was very dated and looked grubby. The shower gel dispenser was old and looked like it hadn’t been changed in a long time. There was no reception.

    The only downside for us was we had nowhere to hang our clothes. We stayed for a week and there was very minimal storage.

    It was a lovely old property. Perfectly positioned in Valletta with fabulous views over the Grand Harbour. The place was exceptionally clean, brilliantly looked after by Louise.

    Due to refurbishment we had to take the breakfast in the restaurant at the Merchant Street which was unconvenient (loud music, croissant in plastic bags, good omelette, some unfriendly staff but also some friendly one). Infrastructure is not fully adequate to "boutique hotel" style (low-cost material in bath room, old bed), fairly small room for this price

    Location with great view on Grand Harbour; nice building and room with lime stone walls and old-style windows

    Pleasant breakfast but no longer at the hotel. Served at the sister hotel nearby. Slightly unfinished appearance of our top floor, harbour-facing room, with incomplete electrical wiring. The bigger room downstairs that I stayed in 6 years ago was better. Unattended for most of the day unless by prearrangement. Tiny bathroom and balcony. Doesn't quite reach the level of a "boutique" hotel, but nonetheless a great place to stay.

    Possibly the best view in Valletta. Everything in the city is within easy walking distance, as long as steps are not a problem. Just a few minutes walk to the 3 Cities ferry / water taxis. Beautiful lively city. Lots of nice places to eat and drink. Feels safe. Plentiful hot water. Good, helpful communication with the hotel via Booking.com.

    There is no Reception at this hotel. What was unforgiveable is the lack of information for new guests. We arrived at the hotel during business hours on a Friday, and were met with locked doors. There was absolutely no information about what we should do. However, the name, address, and phone number of the hotel were printed above the door. We rang the number, and were given an access code. A staff member came down from the restaurant, opened a locked safe, and gave us our room key. After that, we had no problem. During our stay, we met other new guests standing outside the locked door, wondering what to do. Unbelievable! We have stayed at other hotels with no reception but have always been given clear information on booking.com about what to do, and where to go. This was a first, and frankly, it is an unacceptable and disgraceful way to treat any new guest. The other issue was the lack of information about breakfast. Staff at the restaurant were lovely, and the food was good. However, we struggled to know exactly what we were entitled to as hotel guests, and some staff seemed just as confused (could be misunderstandings due to language). We ate the 'English breakfast' (you can get a vegetarian version of this too - eggs, baked beans, mushrooms), and we also ate muesli and yoghurt.

    The view from our room across the harbour to Fort St Angelo on Vittoriosa was magnificent, as was the location, a short walk to St John's Co-Cathedral (amazing), Lower Barrakka Gardens (definitely worth a look), and around 10 minutes walk down the hill to the Three Cities Ferry (pay on board), and the Gozo High Speed Ferry. There was nothing flash about our room with en suite, but it was comfortable, had a small fridge, and our towels were changed daily (thank you for that). Linen was worn, but clean. We were able to use our European plugs in the room. Breakfast was at Luciano Restaurant, 21 Merchants St (turn left out of hotel, walk up 13 low stairs, then turn right and walk up 67 low stairs, cross the road, walk up the hill and 2 more stairs, then turn right and see Luciano Restaurant). Staff were pleasant. We had an early morning flight, and ordered a Bolt (car and driver) a couple of days before we left, to take us to the airport at 3.30am. It cost Euro 12, so very reasonable.
