What a lovely hotel. The location is central but quiet. The room is modern, spacious and includes a kitchen (with dishwasher!) and a washing machine. Breakfast was included and the food was good and a lot. The staff are very pleasant.

Short Break

Really nice place to stay. Excellent apartments with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge in the room. A small balcony was attached to my room. Excellent shower with good water flow. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked very nice. Not much in the surrounding areas so you generally had to get a bus to see things. There are several bus stops within a 10 minute walk of the building. 4 or 7 day travel cards can be bought at the airport and are really good value. There is a combination lock on the front door, one of the numbers is a bit “sticky” and you have to hold it until it registers.

Excellent value with impressive amenities. It was nice to have a fridge and laundry facilities right in my little efficiency apartment.
Joseph, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Renovated, clean, cold with friendly owners! Only weird part was the single room bathroom with shower that flooded the entire bathroom floor. Other than that, it was super convenient to Valletta and the airport and very affordable. Owner met us on site and walked us to our room. I would stay here again.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved its clean and spacious modern room with mini terrace. We were disappointed at first that we were not able to stay at the penthouse where we originally booked for due to hotels.com’s double booking, and the guesthouse notified us a day before checking in, but the staff were nice and friendly. Thank God, We were able to stay at other room and check in at midnight. (Hope they refund us for downgrading the room) Other than this, everything was nice and great! We plan to stay again next time for more days.

This guesthouse is very new, modern, clean and comfortable. My room is on the top floor, bright and spacious with breeze balcony The location is good too, quiet, two streets away from main road but a major bus stop Pieta just 7min walk, easy access to all major attractions by public transport bus. It has kitchenette, everything needed- microwave, cooktop oven, but I didn’t cook at all. And there is washing machine. Be careful to use 5kg wash and dry. It can be very hot to ruin your clothes. Bathroom is breeze, functional. Staff are very friendly, and responsive. My room wasn’t ready but Rodianne is very apologetic, offered me a good cup of espresso. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay here.

The hosts were incredibly helpful. The stay isn't located in a best place to see all of Malta, but it's nice and quiet at night. Well-worth the cost.

Fantastic little place with very friendly owners and staff. Wonderful breakfast each morning. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again!

Hotel was great! Clean and spacious. Decent location with only a short uber ride to everything.

Todo genial!!

Un apartahotel con buen gusto, tiene lavadora, lavavajillas y todo lo que necesites. Nosotros no usamos nada, teníamos el desayuno incluido, que está muy bien por cierto. El personal es un encanto, pura amabilidad! Estuvimos 10 días por Malta, Gozo y comino y genial. A 20 mininos del centro y a 5/6€ en bolt.
Francisco Javier, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

Central indeed, but ...

Friendly and professional service, with a quiet accommodation not far from the central parts of town. The room was a good size, and the air conditioning was a big plus. That said, this place is comparable to a typical Airbnb stay—shampoo in single-use sachets, soap in a dispenser you have to stomp on to get anything out, a worn-out shower cabin, and reused pillowcases that really should have been thrown away a long time ago. In other words, they cut costs wherever they can which is odd, considering they probably serve Malta’s most expensive breakfast in what feels like a small school cafeteria. Conclusion: If you can afford it, choose something better. A three out of five rating

It was perfect for me!

The people were kind and helpful, it had all the amenities and it was so close to the marina. Nice cool air conditioning to escape the August heat. It was exactly what I needed.

Buen servicio y buenas instalaciones

El alojamiento muy completo y cómodo dispone de cocina e incluso lavadora, como solo fuimos dos días no utilizamos nada, pero es bueno disponer de ello, la primera noche tuvimos que dormir con unas almohadas muy duras y grandes, no había nadie en recepción para cambiarlas, al día siguiente lo comentemos y nos las cambianron enseguida, el último día teníamos el vuelo muy temprano y. O podíamos desayunar en el hotel, lo dijimos y nos preparanron un picnic para que desayunáramos en el aeropuerto, muy atentos todo el personal

Great!

Great place, very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful freshly cooked breakfast. A shower gel dispenser in the shower instead of sachets would be good.
