A really nice boutique hotel that is well situated close to all the amenities in Valletta old town. The staff are really friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast room staff. Breakfast is very good, the only minor grumble being that the pastries were very dry. The rooftop area with swimming pool and bar is a nice place to relax after a heavy day of sightseeing.

Great location, staff are absolutely amazing. Great bit of advice from another review which we took advantage of, make use of their sister Hotel as it is central located and whilst this hotel has a Pool their sister Hotel has an amazing view from the pool overlooking the three cities. You can use it for free just like reception now. All in all a great place to stay.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and 3 days. We were initially assigned a different room than the one we booked, so we immediately requested a change. Michael worked hard to switch us and managed to get us a room with a window. The hotel was very clean, and the breakfast was good. The staff were especially friendly. I would like to thank Michael and Matthew.
