Comfortable quiet hotel in walking distance of ferries and buses.
Pros:

Large room with balcony which had 2 sun loungers and a small coffee table. Air con was good as still hot in Malta. On quiet side street very safe and only 10 minutes walk to the main harbour with ferries and buses.

Cons:

Nothing really but pool was very cold

Mysigt familjeägt hotell i ett lugnt område.
Pros:

Frukosten var jättefin med mycket att välja på. Allt var fräscht och gott. Nära till busshållsplats 100m där bussar gick till Valetta. Lugn område! Sköna sängar och hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Återkommer gärna fler gånger. Kan rekommenderas!!

Cons:

Inget alls att klaga på.

Pros:

La chambre était tres propre, grande et en excellent état et le personnel très attentif. Une jolie terrasse donne sur la piscine. La kitchenette est suffisament équipée pour préparer des repas sommaires si on ne souhaite pas re-sortir.

Cons:

En revanche, l'insonorisation est très mauvaise, on vit avec les voisins. Nous avons choisi le quartier de Sliema pour justement fuir le bruit de St Julians. Manque de chance, nous avons eu des voisins très bruyants 3 nuits sur 4. D abord des anglais saouls à 4h30 du matin qui se sont disputés dans le couloir puis leur chambre pendant plus d une heure puis une famille couchée à 1h et levée à 6h du matin à courir dans les escaliers et crier pour communiquer...

Nice place.
Pros:

Staff were very nice. Super helpful. Boutique vibe. Clean.

Cons:

Some of the silicone in the bathrooms needs redone, some more shelving or storage in living area would be good as otherwise everything ends up on the dining table.

We visited Malta to go to a friend’s wedding. This hotel was ‘perfectly fine’ as a place to stay when mostly we were out
Pros:

The property was spotlessly clean and a lot of effort had been made to provide a mix of elegance with modern furnishings.

Cons:

Our standard room was too small for two. Very little wardrobe and storage room generally. The door to the bathroom hit the bed when opened, which wasn’t ideal if used in the night. It would also be helpful to have a mirror in the bedroom and not just the bathroom.
Unfortunately, our air conditioning unit started dripping water and sometimes small pieces of ice but thankfully this was on our last night.
The photos of the pool make it look more inviting than reality, when it feels a little claustrophobic so we didn’t use it which is a shame.
The breakfast can be improved with better juice, sometimes the pastries felt not especially fresh and a choice of butter and non-animal spread.
