“Stepping into this Valletta hotel feels like finding a well-kept secret, its central position making the city's historic pulse immediately accessible. While the breakfast arrangement requires a short walk to a nearby bar, the stunning rooftop terrace, with its commanding views, offers a more than adequate trade-off for any minor inconvenience. It's a place where the attentive staff and comfortable rooms contribute to a sense of effortless exploration.”

Acceptable Location, but SOME Issues

street noise static shower

The hotel is located right in the heart of everything. A GREAT location for exploring.

The noise from the street was AWFUL. I could hear everything. Music played late into the night. Sleep was difficult. The shower was also static. I always got my hair wet.

Charming Stay in the City CENTER

I appreciated the spacious room and terrace. I found the location great, central to EVERYTHING. The rooftop bar added a nice touch. Lionel was very helpful and deserves recognition for his really good service. I liked having complimentary honey ring cookies.

I noticed the shaver socket in the bathroom was not working, A minor inconvenience.

Breakfast took place at a separate hotel not far from the hotel, serving very good food and waiting staff. I enjoyed the selection of food offered and found it quite plentiful. The Strait Street location provided a unique atmosphere.
