A lovely base for exploring Valletta and other areas of Malta. Very quiet and peaceful location with kind and helpful staff. Great restaurant recommendations! Our room was spacious and and hotel breakfast was fresh with lots of choices. Highly recommend.

All of the staff were friendly from the moment we checked in until we left which given that it was at 3.30 am they were still smiling (Michael) The room was clean and every day it was the same high standard, breakfast was very good, again the staff were outstanding in their service, nothing was too much trouble. A good variety of food on offer, we were even given a breakfast to take with us when we left as it was so early in the morning, a really lovely unexpected gesture. The downside to the hotel was the room had only one window which faced the corridor, there wasn't much natural light, you had to have the lights on day or night. The air conditioning was very powerful even on the lowest setting and situated so it blew cold air right onto your head, as we couldn't get any air from the window it meant we were up and down turning the air con on and off throughout the night. I would book to stay here again if I could have a different room as the location was also good, but beware there are a lot of steps to navigate before you can even get into the hotel.

Lovely hotel, very clean, M

Amazing service and perfectly located!

Clean room, great breakfast

This is a modern boutique hotel located in the bottom end of the Valletta peninsula. It is relatively new (2 years old) spread over five or six floors with a small number of rooms on each floor. The hotel is reached from the road by walking down steep steps to the far end of an alleyway - don’t expect taxi drivers or staff to carry your bags. Breakfast is part of the deal but the quality and range of foods on offer is not extensive. Coffee comes from a capsule machine and juice is not freshly squeezed. Cooked breakfast is eggs, beans, sausages and bacon. The cereal selection is simple. The room had a king sized bed and good aircon- the bathroom had a good shower/bath with plenty of hot water but the basin was a strange design which meant wet shaving was a challenge. The in-room safe was not attached to anything so presumably could have been carried out (it wasn’t). On the roof is a plunge pool with loungers and a bar so it is possible to get away from the hubbub of Valletta and chill. The best bit about the hotel was its location within walking distance of everything that Valletta had to offer. The staff were attentive and helpful. Thursday nights the mother hotel around the corner offers a local food dinner plus drink which was worthwhile.

Loved our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel! The staff were all helpful and friendly. The breakfast was really nice with plenty of options. Location was great and the pool was a great addition to relax after a big day of exploring

This hotel is ideally located in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk to the centre of Valetta. The staff were extremely friendly. The breakfast was fabulous with plenty of choice. The rooftop pool and terrace were a lovely bonus. We had a lovely time.

Very nice Hotel

I stayed on the 4th floor and the desk was covered by ants. It was disgusting.
