A gorgeous little boutique hotel literally a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Valletta. The rooms were spacious with a range of amenities (stocked mini bar, coffee/tea making facilities, filtered water jugs and excellent air con). The pool deck was a lovely place to relax after a day sight seeing and exploring and although it was small it was great to have a pool in the 36 degree heat. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, from booking taxis & carrying luggage to making cocktails. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. A great place to stay, highly recommend.

Location is excellent, rooms were perfect, with refreshments/fridge/minibar. Pool is very small but lovely way to cool off at end of the day. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. It would have been nice if the breakfast restaurant could have been used later in the day for refreshments - the only place is the rooftop terrace in full sun. All in all, a lovely hotel and would definitely stay again.

Overall very nice hotel, clean room. Polite and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Just few things we disliked. The swimming pool and the area around was little small for all of us trying to escape the heat on Saturday afternoon. Also we were surprised to hear from our bed late in the night the noises coming from washroom nextdoor room so loud. The walls all around looks thick but apparently not between two rooms. I guess the hotel layout of our bed right next to other guests washroom, it's very bed choice.Maybe was only our room. I don't know but we woke up few times and fall asleep right after. If I ever go again in that hotel I will make sure to have some more assurance about those kinds of noises.

Customer service was excellent at all times. Staff were always happy to help out with anything. The whole hotel was so clean and in superb condition. Air conditioning in the room was faultless. Our room didn’t have a balcony, so the towels weren’t able to dry each day because we chose to keep the air conditioning running for when we returned to the room, but they supplied clean towels every day without complaint. We requested extra hangers and an iron and ironing board - no problem there either. Breakfast was as advertised; it was well-managed by staff and offered a range of options for different tastes and diets. The pool was a lovely space to relax and cool down after a day of exploring. Bar staff were very cheerful and friendly when we were up there - even when we turned up to use the pool at 8.30pm (bar closes at 9pm and we were a family of four). Malta is the sort of place that you return to, and when we do again, we will just use this hotel from now on. We stayed in an Airbnb last time, but this was so much more comfortable. Our favourite aspect was how friendly the staff were.
