Pros:

The location was perfect, staff really nice, room and facilities excellent .

Cons:

I liked everything. If I had to name on thing I liked a bit less was the breakfast on the very hot and sunny terrace. In the summer, it's simply too hot to sit under the Maltese sun.

Hübsches Hotel mit sehr aufmerksamem Personal- bis zum nächsten Mal
Pros:

Es war wunderbar auf der Terrasse frühstücken zu können und dass es lokale Produkte hatte. Das Zimmer hatte alles, was wir benötigten und ich genoss die Regendusche. Und das Beste, der Strassenlärm war absolut nicht zu hören. Fantastisch.

Cons:

Manchmal war es morgens schon sehr heiss auf der Terrasse und die Sonnenbrille nicht vergessen. Es wäre toll gewesen, auch abends auf der Terrasse entspannen zu dürfen.

Customer Care inesistente, si salva solo la posizione, non vale il prezzo
Pros:

La posizione era buona e la camera era carina, anche se si vedeva fosse datata

Cons:

L’attenzione al cliente è completamente da rivedere. Ci è capitato di avere il fono non funzionante al primo utilizzo, abbiamo chiamato e non c’era nessuno, quindi siamo stati tutta la notte umidi senza poterci asciugare, la mattina dopo, invece di cambiarlo direttamente si sono messi a testarlo alla reception davanti a noi, come se non ci credessero, poi hanno visto che non funzionava e ce l’hanno cambiato, ridicolo. Secondo loro, da chat booking, ce l’hanno cambiato per “your peace of mind”, se questo è un servizio clienti… fornisci un disservizio e neanche lo riconosci. Il bagno con la porta a vetro, praticamente inutile, si vedeva e sentiva tutto. Il personale alla reception vi chiederà ogni giorno il numero della camera, non si ricordano minimamente di voi! Non vale il prezzo!

A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the city
Pros:

The unfortunate thing about my stay is that I caught the flu and spent almost my entire time in my room. This gave me ample opportunity to evaulate the hotel as a whole, seeing as how I barely left my bed for four days. I would not recommend doing this. I would absolutely recommend this hotel. There is a rooftop breakfast with a beautiful view of the city, and for €12 each time, it's a good bargain. The pillows are super fluffy and comfortable. The balcony view of the street below helped me feel like i was outside on the days I didn't do that at all. The location cannot be beat. It is right next to the largest market in the city, which has a top floor restaurant, a bottom floor supermarket, and a ground floor food hall.

Some people have said that it's noisy. I promise you: I was here during the World Cup Final. The game went until about 12:45am. By 1:00am, it was silent. Valletta, and Malta in general, are pretty strict about noise.

Also shout out to housekeeping who were always very kind, and brought mid-day cookies, and to the front desk staff, who were caring as well.

Cons:

There's really not much. If I had to nitpick: sometimes the wifi signal was weak or the service would drop. I would be able to stream a movie no problem but phone calls would drop out. It was frustrating, but wouldn't have bothered me so much if I was able to, you know, go outside and do things.

I sometimes heard the scraping of chairs from my upstairs neighbors, and the provided shampoo made my hair feel dry, but these are really minor elements to a stay that was used as a place of healing. I'll have to come back.

Excellent choice for a stay in Valletta
Pros:

Location is superb. So close to bars, shops and restaurants. Also, excellent location for sightseeing.
Rooms are clean, spacious and have everything needed. Staff were friendly and happy to help.

Cons:

Breakfast is served on the rooftop. Views are lovely, but a lack of shade made breakfast a little uncomfortable. Also the self service area is a bit of a squeeze.

Pros:

The location of the hotel was good and most of the staff was friendly. However, when cockroaches were crawling across the pillow at night (literally) this makes the night very unpleasant. We only later found a sign hidden in the hotel itself that cockroaches are a common problem, which contradicts for us the answer of the staff that they don’t know about it. The breakfast was alright and the size of & amenities in the room good. Unfortunately, sleeping with cockroaches is a NO for us and we want to let anyone know that given the hotel signs etc this is a common problem to expect when staying here.

Pros:

Super lokalizacja, w samym centrum Valetty. Wszędzie blisko. Czysto, wygodne łóżka i świetne ciśnienie wody pod prysznicem. Często w hotelach jest słabe ciśnienie, więc uznałam, że warto to zaznaczyć. Dobre śniadania.

Cons:

Śniadania na dachu hotelu z ładnym widokiem, ale niestety w upalne dni ciężko się tam siedzi, ponieważ prawie wcale nie ma tam cienia. Nie było gniazdka w łazience do suszarki do włosów. Jak ktoś potrzebuje absolutnej ciszy w pokoju żeby zasnąć to może mieć problem, bo drzwi balkonowe nie są szczelne i słychać co dzieje się na zewnątrz. Nam osobiście to nie przeszkadzało, ale wiem, że dla niektórych to może być problem.

A great experience with attention to detail. I will book again without hesitation.
Pros:

The breakfast offered lots of choices and also represented local dishes which permitted guests to learn more about local Cousine.
These there explained in detail which was a lovely and welcome attention to detail. The local spicy coffee was excellent!

Cons:

There was no points which I did not like.

Good value for money, lovely place, great location, nice breakfast, lovely staff. Nice complimentary drinks at the mini
Cons:

More sun cover for the roof terrace would help enjoy the nice breakfast better. A bigger reception area would also help waiting there, especially when very hot outside.

Pros:

Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται σε εξαιρετικά κεντρικό σημείο, ιδανικό για να εξερευνήσει κανείς την πόλη. Το δωμάτιο ήταν ευρύχωρο, άνετο και πεντακάθαρο. Το απογευματινό τσάι στην ταράτσα ήταν μια πολύ όμορφη εμπειρία, με υπέροχη ατμόσφαιρα. Το προσωπικό ήταν ιδιαίτερα φιλικό, ευγενικό και πάντα πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει. Σίγουρα θα το επέλεγα ξανά!

Раджу!
Pros:

Дуже гарний готель. Ми відпочили прекрасно. Смачний сніданок.

Cons:

Було в апартаментах невелике вікно, яке виходило на внутрішню вузьку частину будинку (майже колодязь). Сонячне світло було, але не багато.
