Superb hotel! So convenient for the centre of Valletta but very quiet to get to sleep easily. Probably the cleanest hotel we’ve been to. Beautiful rooftop pool to relax by, with a lovely bar to quench any thirst. Will definitely return to this most friendly home from home. Thank you!

A fantastic boutique hotel, with the most incredibly helpful staff. The rooms were fantastic and they were cleaned every day, which we didnt expect. The breakfast included was again more than we expected and there was a great choice as well. The pool area at the top the hotel was again a nice area to relax and was spotless and there was a small bar to enjoy drinks and snacks.
Once again I couldn't recommend this hotel enough. The staff are a credit to their company and a special thanks to Sandtosh for looking after me and wife at Breakfast time.

We loved the hotel. I wish I had known that courtyard view meant it was a very small internal courtyard. I would have paid for a better view, more sunlight. But otherwise it was a very lovely, large and clean room. The breakfast was very good.

Your review has a great tone and conveys a positive experience! Here's a slightly polished version
Had a great stay and would love to return. The hotel was clean and in a quiet location, yet just a short walk from the main streets of Valletta. Excellent breakfast selection and friendly, helpful staff. We especially loved the rooftop pool and pool bar – perfect for enjoying an Aperol Spritz!
