This is charming old guest-house - bird-song and church-bell sounds in the little courtyard. The breakfast was yummy, served in a lovely setting on the roof, and the man at reception was very helpful. The location is very convenient for the beach area of Sliema.

We really enjoyed our stay at this characterful property. The staff, location, breakfast are amazing. The building is old so some limitations (e.g. poor ventilation) are understandable. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The room (19) was spacious, beautiful and had everything we needed. The daily breakfast on the sunny rooftop was amazing. Thoroughly recommend this guest house.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A beautiful little hotel, very comfortable. A little unsettling that if you don’t arrive in the middle of the day, there is no one there to greet you and everything is done technologically. They give you a combination to open the door, another to get your key from a little box. Efficient but impersonal and a little scary when you arrive late at night. You don’t see anyone until the following morning. Decent breakfast. Good location. Good value for money. I would stay there again.

Room was clean but basic, had a shower door missing, which caused a bit water to spill on the bathroom floor when showering. T.v. had no local channels but had WiFi, so able to connect my netflix account after my days out. Breakfast was very good, continental with added cooked eggs and staff were very helpful. Overall a very nice stay, great central location, once I found my bearings. With everything you could need with-in walking distance.
