I would certainly be happy to stay here again. Large rooms, comfy bed, helpful staff and food was excellent. The only thing that let my stay down was the length of time it took to check out - a long queue with two few staff and a long process, my taxi arrived and almost left it took that long. ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Nov 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly staff, nice authentic hotel, liked the decor, very spacious rooms, comfortable beds. ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Jan 1, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is definitely a great choice.

We had one issue with our room and were quickly switched to another, upgraded, room, and recieved numerous apologies for the inconvenience, which was minimal. The formal restaurant is lovely and the breakfast buffet (which you may choose to prepay) is excellent. The mushrooms were our favorite. My wife and I visited in the off season and appreciated the value. This hotel is located right outside Valletta's walls, so it is handy to everything in the city. And, a small note for those of us of a certain age, the hotel provides an oft running shuttle to the city gates at top of the hill, even though it is not far at all.
