Would 100% stay here again if I find myself back in Malta.
Pros:

The staff was very accommodating. My welcome was very pleasant and they prepared my room early so I could check-in ahead of time. The food at the restaurant on the property was very creative and delicious. Even the breakfast was well done.

Fantastic stay in an exclusive location.
Pros:

A great breakfast, an unusual three-level room, and a great terrace with a hot tub. The kind, helpful and helpful staff deserves praise. I recommend not to miss the Michelin restaurant, it's worth it.

Cons:

I have nothing to complain about, maybe the equipment will soon need to be revived to maintain the standard, but for now everything is OK.

A lovely small boutique hotel in a fantastic central location
Pros:

A fantastic location, very close to plenty of great bars, restaurants and all the Valetta attractions. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, breakfast was very good, with a small buffet and a good choice of a la carte options cooked to order. The rooms are large & the bed very comfortable.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like, just a slightly strange bedroom lay out, with the sink hidden behind a cupboard door at the end of the bed. More quirky than a dislike. Just worth noting depending on who you ae travelling with.

Mixed feelings
Pros:

My experience of this hotel is unusual to say the least. Reflecting upon my stay I'm full of mixed feelings. I'll try to share them as best as I can.
First off the staff are quite professional and attentive. They assisted with certain requests we had yet forgot to book a restaurant or fix an issue in our room. The breakfast food was great quality yet minimal and every day the same. The suite was very spacious and pretty but also slightly damp and cool. The bed was very comfortable and the night was so quiet you felt like you were in space when you slept yet during the day every sound was heard being made. On one hand we enjoyed our stay yet would not stay there again. I am as perplexed as you reading this as I write it. Ive never had a stranger impression of a hotel.

Cons:

Its not a matter of dislike.

Enjoyable, great hotel for a city break.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine for a short stay.

Cons:

The bathroom has a slate tile step up to the shower and loo. I caught a big toe on the edge of the step entering the shower. This section is very sharp and sliced the end of my toe. Very painful and a lot of blood. Just one of those things, but they do need to fit a rubber strip over the edge to avoid reoccurrences.

Didn't meet expectation and was expensive for what it was.
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

The hotel wasn't what we expected for the cost and the description, it was tired. It certainly isn't a 5 star hotel.
I wouldn't book again.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful from making our reservation through the time we left. The building is older, but the renovation is nicely done and we enjoyed the comfort of our room. The location was very convenient for exploring Valleta. The breakfast was outstanding (enjoy the local breads). It was good to learn the history of the house too! The piano works!

Cons:

Figuring out which light switch controlled which light.

Lokatie perfect, wel erg duur voor wat je krijgt!
Pros:

De lokatie is fantastisch! Personeel is supervriendelijk!

Cons:

Ontbijt is a la carte en duurde veeeeeeel te lang. Kamer was leuk maar veeeeeeel te duur. Er zijn goedkopere, betere opties, ik zou buiten Valletta een ander hotel nemen. Uber is er spotgoedkoop dus je ben zo in en uit de stad. Er zijn zoveel opties om lekker te eten dus het restaurant is ook geen meerwaarde.

Quirky boutique hotel at good location in Valetta
Pros:

Location, quirky style, friendly atmosphere

Cons:

Not liking is too strong but our bathroom was very dark being painted black. If you do that you need the room to be effectively lit and all lighting to work perfectly. That was not the case. We also struggled to get the right temperature water which was boiling hot. The tap design was unusual and maybe operator error but not clear
