This hotel was perfectly situated for all the things we wanted to see in the old city. We stayed here for 3 nights after our cruise ended in Malta. I would highly recommend this hotel for short or long term stay. The breakfast was delicious and so many choices. The staff was always pleasant and helpful! We would definitely stay here again if we visited Malta.

Good location , 5 minutes walking distance to Cathedral. At first sight very clean but two times some black wet clothes fell on the floor and there full with dust… and some smell in the bathroom due to poor ventilation. Nice breakfast and nice staff.

Lovely hotel in a very convenient location. The staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated, the bathroom was really lovely and good toiletries. The pool is small but very nice for cooling off. There is a small bar on the roof terrace and a happy hour every evening. Breakfast was brilliant, all in all a really nice hotel which I would go back to.

Location is excellent, rooms were perfect, with refreshments/fridge/minibar. Pool is very small but lovely way to cool off at end of the day. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. It would have been nice if the breakfast restaurant could have been used later in the day for refreshments - the only place is the rooftop terrace in full sun. All in all, a lovely hotel and would definitely stay again.

We booked this hotel based on location which is excellent as it is located in the main hub of Valentte and easily accessible to the waterfront, restaurants, shopping and public transport. The hotel looks snug initially but rooms and bathroom are spacious and well maintained in maintained. There is a pool in the terrace where they serve light meals and drinks. Water is topped up everyday and room is tidied up. We enjoyed our stay very much and will stay here again without hesitation Definitely recommend staying here.
