Parfait
Pros:

Très bon emplacement dans la zone des 3 cités, qui est un des quartier historique avec la Valette, ce qui en fait un endroit charmant et stratégique pour les visites.
Cela facilite donc la visite des 3 cités, puis pour aller à La Valette, il y a à 5 minutes à pied le ferry, ce qui est très pratique.
L’établissement est à taille humaine, cosy, très calme et propre.
Le personnel est au petits soins.
Le petit déjeuner compris est fabuleux
Le dîner que nous avons eu au restaurant le Little bastion qui n’est pas dans cet hôtel mais rattaché à leur hôtel jumeaux le cugo gran macina (10 à 15 min à pied) a été savoureux

Cons:

Le manque de luminosité dans la chambre mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé car nous étions surtout en sortie la journée

Pros:

Very tasty and variet breakfasts, perfect staff, good localisation.

Cons:

The room 104 was a disaster - you can have a nice stay in the Hotel IF YOU AVOID this room. In past it was a kitchen hall for deliveries. The floor of the room is one meter below the narrow street - the room has only one small dark window - in fact only electric lihght is available. It is also extremely WET - AC was drying all day and night , and additional electric dryer added by staff produced 6 liters of condensate for 24h. It is not a room - it is a dark joke. In contrast everything else was great in the hotel - the helpful staff, the roof terrace, cleanliness and great breakfasts. But this dark ( perfectly cleaned everyday ) dungeon dominated memories - AVOID ROOM 104 and a room adjacent to 104 - I hope other rooms are dry, bright and do not leave smell of mold on your belongings when you leave...

Quiet hotel in Birgu
Pros:

Nice location in quiet Birgu
Close to the ferry to Valleta
Nice bed and shower pressure
Good breakfast
Polite staff

Cons:

In the Deluxe room there’s only one window which is the terrace’s door, facing the internal patio. That means that there are two options: 1) you leave the terrace door open and can hear all the noise coming from the patio or 2) you close the terrace door and then there’s no air circulation. Regarding breakfast I don’t understand why it’s only a la carte, a better option would be to have a table with cold cuts, cheese, cereal, tea, juice, etc, and have only hot dishes (eg. eggs, pancakes, etc) to order. It took a long time to be served breakfast which I don’t blame the staff because the hotel should hire more people to help with the service not make the receptionist double down as a waiter/waitress too. We were not in a rush but it bothered me a bit how long we needed to wait for the breakfast to be served.

I was enchanted and will be back.
Pros:

Everything. Location close to everything, gondolas, ferry, bus tours, town square, restaurants and a short drive from the airport. Amazingly helpful staff, (particularly Dora). Ambience and history, beautiful quiet rooms. Historic, beautiful view from the pool area where you could enjoy watching the sunset.

Cons:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful but being a small hotel there was just one person which isn’t ideal at busy periods. The breakfasts were great but there isn’t a restaurant any other time of the day. I ate at their sister hotel which was fantastic, top quality food at great prizes and there are lots of restaurants close by.
