Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The good: The people working there were excellent and would do anything you asked of them. Washing machine was amazing g to have in my room. The bad: Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The sheets were really old and pilled and need to be thrown away. The pillows were the same way and need to be replaced. Booked an airport transfer through their link and was scammed out of $40. This isn’t really the best area in Malta and I wish I had stayed in a more touristy area where there are restaurants and shops. Buses were always late or didn’t show up and were always packed full of people.

The room was very clean and the amenities cannot be beat! Full kitchenette and washer/dryer. 30 minute walk/hike to downtown Valletta. One note for people who like to sleep in. Church bells go off around 8am every morning. Beautiful and musical, but hard to sleep through

A great place for a weekend getaway. Breakfast took over an hour - consider a buffet for people to come and go. We were three and the sofa was not a fold out. Other than that they had great amenities.

Central indeed, but ...

Friendly and professional service, with a quiet accommodation not far from the central parts of town. The room was a good size, and the air conditioning was a big plus. That said, this place is comparable to a typical Airbnb stay—shampoo in single-use sachets, soap in a dispenser you have to stomp on to get anything out, a worn-out shower cabin, and reused pillowcases that really should have been thrown away a long time ago. In other words, they cut costs wherever they can which is odd, considering they probably serve Malta’s most expensive breakfast in what feels like a small school cafeteria. Conclusion: If you can afford it, choose something better. A three out of five rating

Spotless!

The studio is very comfortable. The only two things I can comment on is the lack of furniture on the balcony & the shower which was rather tight.

Neighborhood guesthouse within a walk to ferry.

Nice guesthouse on a quiet neighborhood street. We walked about 15 minutes (downhill) to catch the Sicily ferry at 6:30 in the morning. There is a small, serviceable cafe for breakfast or quick lunch, a convenience store , a beautiful produce vendor, and a pharmacy within a short walk.

This guesthouse is very new, modern, clean and comfortable. My room is on the top floor, bright and spacious with breeze balcony The location is good too, quiet, two streets away from main road but a major bus stop Pieta just 7min walk, easy access to all major attractions by public transport bus. It has kitchenette, everything needed- microwave, cooktop oven, but I didn’t cook at all. And there is washing machine. Be careful to use 5kg wash and dry. It can be very hot to ruin your clothes. Bathroom is breeze, functional. Staff are very friendly, and responsive. My room wasn’t ready but Rodianne is very apologetic, offered me a good cup of espresso. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay here.
