8/10 Very good

The staff was very kind and welcoming, and my stay was just what I hoped for!
Heidi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, clean, classy boutique style hotel within a historical building. All of the staff were fantastic and made our stay feel as though we were staying with good friends. The owner has a wealth of knowledge about Malta and the best attractions to see as well as suggestions of the best restaurants at reasonable prices. The hotel is also perfectly situated for exploring Valletta on foot. The owner and all of the staff worked hard to ensure that our stay was a memorable experience and we were made to feel valued and special.

Dr Nicholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Outstanding in every way! The room was very well appointed, bed was comfortable, and service was spot-on! Breakfast was fresh and tasty. The manager was like a casual concierge, providing ideas and information to make our trip even better. I give the Barrister 11 out of 10!
Lorelle M, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Street closed off. Massive Crane overhead. Bags of rubbish dumped in the doorway of the derelict building next door .Outside of hotel area very unappealing. Music from carmens club on next street was unbelievable. It was so noisy until at least 2am or maybe later , then when the music stops got to listen to the revellers for a further hour. If this is what you enjoy then this hotel will suit you .
annemarie, 2-night trip

David, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relaxing stay in a well located hotel

We had such a warm welcome to the hotel and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The hotel is off the main streets so nice and quiet at nighttime but only a very short walk to bars and restaurants.
Laura, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the kindness of the director and the receptionist
Massimo, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had to book at last minute due to changes in our flight. The staff was so kind, very helpful. The hotel it is so nice, clean and well decorated. It is close (walking distance) to main attractions. Good restaurants and bars are nearby. Great experience
Isaac Federico, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel and staff OK. Underwhelming breakfast options (probably because this is a small hotel). Very noisy from adjacent streets until early hours of the morning due to the number of bars playing very loud music. Impossible to sleep.
Frances Patricia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location and service

Location is excellent in the heart of Valetta, but not so close to all the noise. The staff are especially welcoming and helpful with advice about local places to visit, for dining and otherwise. Highly recommended. And thanks Mark for all your help!
