Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews explicitly call the rooms 'very clean', 'super pristine', 'jasno, przestronnie, czysto' and praise fresh towels and mid-stay towel change — overall clearly positive on cleanliness.
Service
1
Mixed reports: several guests note friendly, helpful staff and quick communication/self check-in, but a strong negative arises from the hotel's requirement to send ID and CVV photos to create an account (described as unacceptable by a guest). That privacy/payment requirement significantly lowers the service score despite otherwise polite staff.
Location
1
Consistently praised: quiet neighbourhood, bus stop practically at the hotel with direct access to Valletta, close to a Lidl and a 24h bakery — location is frequently highlighted as a strength.
Room Quality
1
Mixed-to-negative room issues: while rooms are described as spacious with comfortable beds and smart TVs, multiple complaints about practical problems (weak WC flush, shower prone to flooding, nieszczelne/leaky window causing cold, ineffective blackout curtains, insufficient wardrobe space, elevator doors sticking) materially affected stays.
Amenities
1
Amenities are praised: well-equipped kitchen (appliances, cookware), smart TV, shampoo/soap/towels provided, adapters, coffee and washing capsules; mid-stay towel replacement noted. Minor missing item (hairdryer) mentioned by one guest.
Value for Money
1
Several guests call it a cheap/good-value stay, with repeat bookings and positive comments about price versus offering — modestly positive overall.
Food and Beverage
1
No hotel food service is described; guests mention a nearby 24h bakery but not on-site F&B, so this category is treated as neutral (Target Overall Rating).
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment is positive for many guests ('Everything was perfect', 'one of the best places'), balanced by the significant negatives above (ID/CVV policy, room issues), resulting in a slightly positive overall impression.

Pros:

La propreté
Les équipements
La terrasse
La clim
Le lave linge ....

Cons:

- Le bruit le soir au rez de chaussée avec la porte d'entrée et le raisonnement des voix
Il serait peut être bien de mettre une grosse pancarte " attention à respecter le sommeil des voyageurs , veuillez ne pas parler fort svp"
Nous étions logé au N⁰2, et les gens ne respectent pas , que ce soit à 22h ou à 3h du matin .
- 1 ou 2 adaptateurs de prises supplémentaires

Pros:

Квартира розташована в зручному кварталі, за пару хвилин від декількох зупинок транспорту, яким до центру Валетти можна дістатися за 20 хвилин. Є самостійне заселення, що дуже зручно, і хоча заявлено, що заселитися можна лише з 17:00, ми залишили свої речі відразу після раннього прибуття (послуга безкоштовна), а заселитися нам запропонували вже близько 12:00.

Cons:

Ми мали номер на 4 поверсі з маленьким балконом (але не з видовим), і в цьому номері було досить сиро і дещо відчувався запах плісняви, але це було не критично. Також майте на увазі, що в квартирі є пральна машина і навіть посудомийна машина, але немає жодних засобів для прання. На кухні також було не все необхідне, наприклад не було дошки для нарізання і терки, і відповідно солі та перцю також не було, але при цьому була кавоварка і багато кави та чаю

Keep looking!
Pros:

Well it was clean, we can stay that. but it was like student accommodation with a broom and bucket left in our room.

Cons:

It felt like student accommodation. Very disappointing. There was no reception staff on. The reception was was abandoned, no staff anywhere. The reviews are misleading. It is not in a nice area and parking tough for unloading suitcases. Not near anything of interest, we only chose it as it was the closest we could get to the airport. We were lead to believe we could leave luggage with reception if room wasn't ready but on the day got a message about a luggage room and and told not to leave anything of value there! The sheets were like cardboard, everything was the cheapest quality. The free toiletries is misleading as well, a cream soap on the wall. The views of were of run down apartments, you had to look far to the dome pictured in the adverstising pictures. . There was people slamming doors all night long. I would avoid this property.

Pros:

na pewno to, że obiekt jest zdaje się dopiero co wyremontowany,
rozmiar pokoju i aneks z pełnym wyposażeniem (bardzo przydatna lodówka, ale też pralka, żelazko na wyposażeniu pokoju);
możliwość wypicia kawki na tarasie (parter więc bez widoku);
całkiem niedaleko przystanki autobusowe, jeśli ktoś nie chce korzystać wyłącznie z bolta

Cons:

hm....

Cons:

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. After the reservation had already been paid for, the host demanded that I provide my credit card details, even though the booking had already been paid in full, and without providing those details it was impossible to complete the check-in process. I contacted Booking, and their representative confirmed that I should not share such information. Because I refused, the host cancelled the reservation while I was already on the plane. After landing, I discovered that I had nowhere to stay and had to urgently look for alternative accommodation.
On top of that, before handing over the keys, the host required guests to accept a very questionable set of terms and conditions, including clauses about the use of photos, videos, and CCTV footage in the context of disputes over reviews. There was no clear mention of such rules in the listing, so guests are effectively confronted with them at the very last stage.
I explained several times to the host that these practices were not in line with GDPR principles and Booking’s own rules, but without any result. The lack of transparency and the extremely unsafe timing of the cancellation completely disqualify this property

Studio z tarasem
Pros:

Mieszkanie bardzo dobrze wyposażone, Podczas kilkudniowego pobytu niczego nam nie brakowało. Łóżko wygodne, pościel czysta. Miłym akcentem były kapsułki z kawą i przejściówki do kontaktu. Bardzo dogodny system otwierania drzwi (kod). Dobry kontakt z gospodarzem, szybko odpowiadał na wszelkie pytania i wątpliwości. Mieszkanie w dobrej lokalizacji, blisko przystanku autobusowego, łatwe połączenie z Valettą. Polecam!

Cons:

Mieszkanie miało widok na ścianę, następnym razem zarezerwuję na wyższym piętrze. Poza tym trochę uciążliwy był hałas z korytarza., trzaskanie drzwiami.
