Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a stunning view from the Maltese balcony in the room. Despite the inconvenience of a leaking shower, the ironing board was handy. The service was impeccable, with a willingness to accommodate any request. The location couldn't be better, situated right in the heart of beautiful Valletta, although finding the hotel was a bit challenging due to it not being in a pedestrian area. The dining experience offered good food choices, but the options were a bit limited. The facilities were well-maintained, making the stay comfortable overall.
I totally loved staying at this hotel! It's located right in the heart of beautiful Valletta, close to everything, and the rooms have an industrial modern style mixed with a traditional balcony which was a unique touch. The balcony view was lovely; however, the bathroom lacked privacy as it wasn't see-through. The dining options were very limited but the regional bread was delicious.
The hotel is located right in the center of Valletta, offering a prime location proximal to the city center and the adjacent church. The rooms are spacious, featuring traditional balconies and very comfortable super king beds. The service is exceptional, with a wide range of conveniences like car hire, dry cleaning, and airport shuttle available. However, the dining options are very limited, mainly focusing on pies. Overall, the hotel provides great value for money with its modern amenities and facilities.
