The hosts were incredibly helpful. The stay isn't located in a best place to see all of Malta, but it's nice and quiet at night. Well-worth the cost.

Short Break

Really nice place to stay. Excellent apartments with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge in the room. A small balcony was attached to my room. Excellent shower with good water flow. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked very nice. Not much in the surrounding areas so you generally had to get a bus to see things. There are several bus stops within a 10 minute walk of the building. 4 or 7 day travel cards can be bought at the airport and are really good value. There is a combination lock on the front door, one of the numbers is a bit “sticky” and you have to hold it until it registers.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The good: The people working there were excellent and would do anything you asked of them. Washing machine was amazing g to have in my room. The bad: Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The sheets were really old and pilled and need to be thrown away. The pillows were the same way and need to be replaced. Booked an airport transfer through their link and was scammed out of $40. This isn’t really the best area in Malta and I wish I had stayed in a more touristy area where there are restaurants and shops. Buses were always late or didn’t show up and were always packed full of people.

A great place for a weekend getaway. Breakfast took over an hour - consider a buffet for people to come and go. We were three and the sofa was not a fold out. Other than that they had great amenities.

Central indeed, but ...

Friendly and professional service, with a quiet accommodation not far from the central parts of town. The room was a good size, and the air conditioning was a big plus. That said, this place is comparable to a typical Airbnb stay—shampoo in single-use sachets, soap in a dispenser you have to stomp on to get anything out, a worn-out shower cabin, and reused pillowcases that really should have been thrown away a long time ago. In other words, they cut costs wherever they can which is odd, considering they probably serve Malta’s most expensive breakfast in what feels like a small school cafeteria. Conclusion: If you can afford it, choose something better. A three out of five rating
