Spotless!

The studio is very comfortable. The only two things I can comment on is the lack of furniture on the balcony & the shower which was rather tight.

Neighborhood guesthouse within a walk to ferry.

Nice guesthouse on a quiet neighborhood street. We walked about 15 minutes (downhill) to catch the Sicily ferry at 6:30 in the morning. There is a small, serviceable cafe for breakfast or quick lunch, a convenience store , a beautiful produce vendor, and a pharmacy within a short walk.

This guesthouse is very new, modern, clean and comfortable. My room is on the top floor, bright and spacious with breeze balcony The location is good too, quiet, two streets away from main road but a major bus stop Pieta just 7min walk, easy access to all major attractions by public transport bus. It has kitchenette, everything needed- microwave, cooktop oven, but I didn’t cook at all. And there is washing machine. Be careful to use 5kg wash and dry. It can be very hot to ruin your clothes. Bathroom is breeze, functional. Staff are very friendly, and responsive. My room wasn’t ready but Rodianne is very apologetic, offered me a good cup of espresso. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay here.

This is a new place that tries very hard to be accomodating. Everyone is very nice and it was great to have a mini kitchen to prepar meals. I would certainly go back but maybe to a room with a balcony. I stayed in the less expensive room that looked into the building shaft.

Recommended!

One of the best Guesthouses l’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in! Was surprised, at first, to see a fully-plumbed in washing machine in a room and duvets on the beds but realised the benefits after a few days! When a climate is so hot in the Summer, air-con is essential and, although l’m not a great advocate (don’t like the noise) it truly was a blessing to cool the room! Obviously, it gradually got cold during the night, so the duvets were necessary! The washing machine helped with clothes drenched by the heat & humidity! Breakfast was extra but freshly-cooked to order and very good value for money, coffee & juice too!

A gorgeous family run business! Myself and my partner stayed for 1 night at the end of our holiday, mainly to be near the airport for an early flight convenience. However, we wish we had stayed longer! We were welcomed by the lovely family, who chatted to us about the area, the history and family history. We were made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The guest house is situated an ideal 20 min walk from the main bus bays outside central Valletta. The furnishings of the recpetion, cafe and rooms were immaculate, modern and clean. We recommend trying the chocolate croissant from the cafe!! 😍 We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again, thanks for a fabulous experience!

Renovated, clean, cold with friendly owners! Only weird part was the single room bathroom with shower that flooded the entire bathroom floor. Other than that, it was super convenient to Valletta and the airport and very affordable. Owner met us on site and walked us to our room. I would stay here again.

I liked the flexibility of self-catering, deciding when and what I could eat. What I disliked was the high level of traffic noise in the street outside. This generally started around 6.00 in the morning during weekday, and continued for about an hour or so. I would suggest a higher level of sound proofing.

New apartment style hotel rooms with everything you need including washer/dryer in the room. Convenient to several bus stops and covenience stores. Less than a mile from Valletta if you want to walk instead of taking the bus. Very helpful staff. I extendended my stay from 7 nights to 12 since I was so happy here.

Loved its clean and spacious modern room with mini terrace. We were disappointed at first that we were not able to stay at the penthouse where we originally booked for due to hotels.com’s double booking, and the guesthouse notified us a day before checking in, but the staff were nice and friendly. Thank God, We were able to stay at other room and check in at midnight. (Hope they refund us for downgrading the room) Other than this, everything was nice and great! We plan to stay again next time for more days.
