Be aware - the hot tub is not a hot tub

The hosts were good at communicating ahead of time. When I arrived I was met promptly and shown a room different from my booking (3rd floor, not first floor). They then tried to charge me an additional and previously unmentioned cleaning fee (which I did not pay). The hot tub in the basement was not hot. It was an unheated tub of water, and while there were jets, there was no way to make it warm. This was my most expensive accommodation in Malta, and I choose it for the hot tub, so to discover it was not useable was disapointing. Rooms are fine, clean and furnished with cheap Ikea furniture.

Amazing roof view great location

Great location off the beaten path. Easy checking in and out. Staff was very nice accommodating and the room was very clean. My only concern was the bed sheets. The bed did not have fitted sheets so when we rolled over at night the sheets came undone and we were laying partly on the mattress. The location is very unique and quaint. The view from the roof is amazing. They are also located near a fantastic playground making it a kid’s dream!

Really nice apartment with a mini kitchen in a good location. Good shower, fan & AC. No keys just a pass number which I liked. There's a big jacuzzi & roof terrace that's free to use. If you're a game of thrones fan then definitely stay here - a scene in King's landing in series 1 was filmed right in the street!

Very good location, just a five minute walk to St. George’s Square. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Filtered water available although the tap water was perfectly fine to drink. We were told it tasted different to UK but we didn’t notice any difference at all.

Worst service ever

We stayed in Ajkla Mansion for seven nights and this ”hotel” was the worst we have ever been. The bed and pillows were really hard and uncomfortable. There was a little bit weird smell in our room and air was really moist before turning on air condition. Also toilet seat had "greetings" from previous customer, blanket was kids size and our precious wine bottle was stolen second day from fridge. Fortunately next day we got bigger blanket and wine bottle back with extra bottle. Still this doesn't change overall score because of all the other sufferings. The biggest problem was that our room’s water boiler wasn’t heating water so there was only cold water coming from our shower. We called to staff for three times and in the second time they promised to send somebody to help us. We waited at the hotel for nothing because nobody came. Third time we called later on the same day after noticing that power switch contolling heater was broken. Again they promised to send electrician next morning and again we got dissapointed because nobody came. Also advertised jacuzzi was located to small basement room (really ugly one) and had only cold water. The only good thing in this hotel was decently working wifi. We are dissapointed that we paid almost 500 euros from this kind of hotel. If you want to have even some kind of customer service, don’t book this hotel. Malta stolen our hearts but Ajkla Mansion didn’t.

Good location

This accommodation is in an ideal location in Valletta and offers good access to the sites of the city and eating places. However the communication with the management was very poor. I requested 2-beds and on arrival only one was made up. I requested email or text communication and got neither. No one came contacted me regarding billing issues. I have been charged for an amount I have no receipt for. Communication to travelers is key. However they need to realize not all travelers are European and have cell phone service while traveling and email is both efficient and provides record of such communication. Management needs to respond to requests and answer billing questions.

Exactly as advertised.

Hotel is part of a redeveloped apartment house, with kitchen (hob, MW, toaster, water boiler), TV, and Internet. There’s a very nice roof top garden and a jacuzzi in the basement which I didn’t try. Strong WiFi. Staff was extremely friendly.. Only snag is the steps (these are serious) down from the Main Street to the entrance. This was a real problem. I was able to get help. Don’t even think about it if you’re bad in the back or weak in the knees. Major construction going on at the Bakery Street and Ajkla street facades.

They never answered the door and left us stranded

This ended up not being a hotel, rather it was some strange address in an alley way. We were stranded with no room on christmas night. There was nobody there to either answer the door or our telephone calls either the night we arrived or the morning after. We were scammed. Expedia will be notified about this. This was a horrible beginning to our stay in Malta.

Helt ok rom, nydelig beliggenhet

Fantastisk beliggenhet, midt i sentrum og i gangavstand til det meste. Veldig artig at den ligger i gata der en scene fra Game of Thrones er spilt inn. Rommet var helt ok, men ganske lukket og mørkt, og heisen streiker en del. Vi opplevde at verten var veldig hyggelig, men det ble mye forsinkelser og misforståelser når vi ba om hjelp til å bestille drosje. Anbefaler at man ordner dette i god tid i forveien, så man slipper å bruke ferietiden på det.
