Tre accommodation it's located in a good spot, the room is clean

Excellent location, quiet and central
Pros:

Excellent spot in Bormla! Close to amenities, transport and the nearby hot spots. Room was comfortable, and very clean. Right on the road, but the sound proofing is very solid so the room is quiet. Would recommend!

Cons:

The room is clean, but paint and decor could definitely do with a tidy up.

Der Aufenthalt war zweckmäßig, aber nichts Besonderes insgesamt eine 3.
Pros:

Die Lage ist exzellent – direkt am Hafen, mit Fährverbindung nach Valletta und zahlreichen Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Meiner Meinung nach besser als viele andere Orte auf Malta. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist sehr eintönig, da täglich die gleichen Speisen angeboten werden, und aus meiner Sicht sein Geld nicht wert. Auch die Ausstattung im Bad sowie die Sauberkeit lassen zu wünschen übrig.

Outstanding …would go back immediately if we could
Pros:

Our room was lovely ….excellent view and although next to the road was not noisy. 100yds from the ferry to Valetta which ran every half hour. Nice flat walking - not easy in Malta !! Lovely spacious room with comfortable bed and nice bathroom and shower. Usual extras like the and coffee and water. Great area peaceful and calm lots of places to eat in the evenings and felt completely safe wherever you went.

Cons:

Nothing it was one of the best hotels we have stayed in

Pros:

La facilidad del check in, la limpieza y la ubicación. La simpatía del personal.

Cons:

El agua caliente de la ducha se gastaba muy rápidamente y era muy complicado manejar el aire acondicionado frio/calor.
La nevera de la habitación algo ruidosa, pero lo compensaba todo la ubicación y las vistas.

Beautiful, in an unbeatable location, but soulless.
Pros:

The accommodation is located in one of the Three Cities. I’m glad I chose to stay here because it’s much more authentic and peaceful than, for example, Valletta. The ferry terminal, the gondolas, and the bus stop are all just a short walk away.

The place is clean and truly a boutique hotel, but during my stay I never met a receptionist. I have no idea who actually belonged to the hotel, apart from the cleaning lady, whom I later saw in the café. You can enter both the main gate and the door with a code, which is convenient since you don’t have to deal with keys.

Cons:

My only real remark is that I missed having a kind host. I arrived on my birthday (and I had mentioned this in advance), and I admit that a small gesture (a note or anything) would have felt nice. It also would have been good to ask for guidance about one or two of my tours, or simply to have someone greet me in the morning. 🙂

Someone else wrote that they couldn’t sleep because of the fridge. Unfortunately, I experienced the same thing. When it switches on and off, it wakes you up—unless you’re a very deep sleeper.

It would also be nice to have a hook in the hallway for coats or handbags.

Im großen und ganzen war es okay, es waren Mängel über die man hinweg sehen kann. An der Kommunikation könnte man noch f
Pros:

Sie war recht Zentral.

Das Personal hat unsere Sachen ins Zimmer getragen.

Volle Ausstattung (also Sachen wie ein Föhn; Seife; Badeschlapfen; etc. war alles da.)

Cons:

Wir haben nie offiziell ein- oder ausgecheckt.

Außerdem steht zwar auf booking dass man auf anfrage früher einchecken kann aber ich hab dem Hotel 5 Tage vor Anreise eine Mail geschrieben wie auch Ihnen auf booking geschrieben aber es kam erst auf erneute booking Nachricht meinerseits mit der bitte um endliche Antwort, eine Antwort seitens des Hotels mit der Bestätigung dass wir früher einchecken können. Als wir dann aber beim Hotel waren konnten wir erst recht nicht früher einchecken.

Das Bad war zwar nicht dreckig aber auch nicht sauber, überall diese blau/grün/weißen (Kalk-)Flecken. Außerdem war ein Polsterbezug dreckig noch bevor wir überhaupt in dem Bett schlafen konnten.
