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.

Pros:

Camera molto bella e spaziosa con vista sul porto.
Posizione eccezionale per visitare le 3 città con vicino un parcheggio comodo e gratuito raggiungibile a piedi molto velocemente attraversando il ponte sul canale.
Traghetto per Valletta proprio di fronte all'hotel, al costo di 2.50€ per persona vi porta direttamente in città in pochi minuti, arriva abbastanza frequentemente.
Cambio asciugamani giornaliero con bottiglia d'acqua da 50 cl in omaggio ogni giorno a persona.
La stanza viene pulita e sistemata a giorni alterni.
Wi-fi funziona bene.
Il bar al piano terra é comodissimo per fare una rapida colazione (abbiamo solo sfruttato le brioches che possono essere riempite a piacere con marmellate o crema ma ho visto altri ordinare piatti più internazionali). Costo contenuto.
Checkin e checkout veloci a qualsiasi ora tramite app Booking o mail ma la reception é solitamene presenziata fino alle 12:30.

Pros:

Stanza pulita, dotata dei principali confort. Vista sulla darsena. La struttura è piccola ma ben tenuta. La zona attorno anche è molto carina, di interessante nella città c'è il palazzo dell'inquisitore. A pochi passi inoltre c'è un servizio di collegamento per la Valletta con una barca di legno molto carina, tipica per turisti, porta 4-5 persone, ma ce ne sono molte e partono in continuazione. E' un servizio turistico, ma è anche il mezzo più veloce per recarsi a la Valletta.

Cons:

Le dimensioni della stanza sono al minimo ed il materasso non è dei più comodi. Il servizio di reception è solo di mattina. Se potete dunque, cercate di arrivare di mattina: al nostro arrivo la stanza assegnata aveva un problema di elettricità e ce l'hanno cambiata subito. Ma se fossimo stati soli, poteva rappresentare un problema. Il condizionatore non si regolava, a parte acceso o spento. Fortunatamente, siamo andati di inverno, la temperatura era mite e bastava accenderlo qualche minuto, per lo più è sempre stato spento perché non c'era bisogno.

The management of "Fawlty Towers" in Torquay, England, operates better!
Pros:

Great spot for catching the ferry to Valletta. Nice view. Clean and adequate room.

Cons:

Very small balcony, couldn't get two people sat on it, even without a table. We only had 1 chair through our 4 day stay. TOTAL disrespect to customers. Me and my partner left early in the morning to see the cathedral in Valletta, knowing that we had to be out of the room by 11-00am that morning. Returned at 10-52 am and found our room empty, sheets off the bed and our personal belongings in the hallway outside the room entrance (see photos attached), including my camera bag and our toiletries on a shelf, no apologies just a "we have a job to do" attitude. All we wanted to do was freshen up in 2 or three minutes as we had already packed, just our toiletries were ready to be used. No manager around to complain too, but the manager's sister was in the breakfast room, no apologies and couldn't see anything wrong in clearing out our room before 11-00 am. In fact the woman was blatantly rude and insisted that we were not welcome again, I have never come across a hotelier with such a mouthful of garbage and can only assure her and the management of this establishment that we have absolutely no intention of doing so and urge anyone to consider booking this "boutique hotel" not too.

Small family run hotel
Pros:

This was the first time I have been to Malta, I spent a lot of time thinking about where i wanted to stay, the 3 cities suited me well, it was quieter than other parts, plenty of excellent local restaurants and a nice vibe. The hotel was very handy to the Valletta ferry making it very easy to get around to other parts of the island.
My room had a great view over the marina, with a small balcony it was a great place to relax as the sun set

Cons:

Finding the hotel was tricky as there is a closed-down cafe' with the same name about 100 metres up the road that google maps directs you to. The Taxi I was in didn't know where it was either so I spent a bit of time trying to find the actual hotel.

Pros:

The location was perfect with outstanding views to Valletta and the bay. Every room had a balcony to enjoy the view. Rooms were clean, comfy. The staff very friendly and helpful even in the middle of the night when we could not get into the room (special trick to open the door). Breakfast had two options: fixed or al a carte and both were really good.

Relaxing stay and great location
Pros:

The staff was very helpful and assisted us with anything we approached them about. There is not always staff on premises, yet the response time via app was only a few minutes. And extra points go for location - it is ideal to visit Three Cities, Cospicua of Valletta. The latter is only a few minutes and ferry ride away; ferry station is right there, maybe 100 meters down the road.

Highly recommend, ticks every box
Pros:

Prime location to go anywhere, view from the balcony photos below...walking the 3 cities, their beautiful churches, museums and their harbours from here is a delight, bus stops are right outside, ferry 150m down the road for Valetta (10 minutes across the harbour), most restaurants are a pleasant 10 minute walk along the marina. Martina and her staff are all excellent, respectful of privacy if you value it and will step in if assistance is required. We like continental breakfast which is very good here. The hotel was quiet at night when we were there, we were on the 4th floor, from our window you can see the yacht marina in the foreground and in the distance huge cruise ships coming and going from Grand Harbour. Martina also kindly accomodated our baggage on check-out day for a late flight home, which was much appreciated,

Cons:

clothes hooks on the walls to hang stuff, cushions that can be placed on the balcony chairs
