"Amazing location, worth booking if you‘re going to be out all day. The place was ok, but old furniture, almost no cups, not so clean. Would still book it again because of location, however wouldn‘t recommend for families with kids. "

"The apartment was convenient and the host responded quickly to my questions!Cons:-There is little to no air flow and the place is very musty. It appears to be mold on the wall as well. -The water leaks onto the floor of the bathroom no matter what we did to try to avoid it. We had no extra linen to dry it up so it was wet our entire stay.-The supplies were limited. We were there for 4 nights and were provided with not quite two full rolls of toilet paper. We were told to go purchase more if we...

"The apartment was divided into two spaces on separate floors. The 2nd floor space was a bedroom and bath, it was very moldy smelling with no windows. My daughter slept on the sofa in our space because it was so musty. There was a fan that just blew the musty air around. The apartment is in a great location."

"It was poor communication to find the location as they gave us a different address, it was only with a very kind passer-by that helped as they had wifi. When we got in we discovered a double sofa bed ,not a ‘real bed were in ou.r mid 80s.there is no window to open .it ended up being a poor choice ."

"What a great property, located to Easley have access to three or four bus routes that take you everywhere on the island for just a few euros. Lots of great food options close by and a grocery store just down the hill. The staff was so quick to communicate and very helpful. Thank you so much!"

"Second time staying at 23 Boutique and it’s still our favourite hotel experience. From the wonderful helpful staff to first rate amenities, beautiful and clean rooms, a stunning rooftop and boasting a perfect location just outside of the hustle and bustle of Valletta we cannot wait to book our next stay here!"
"I would rate this hotel 4 out of 5 stars.
The Grand Hotel Excelsior offers everything you would expect from a five-star resort: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a well-equipped fitness center, multiple restaurants and bars, and excellent amenities. The hotel is also spotless, very well maintained, and the staff is genuinely attentive and welcoming.
That said, the property feels frozen in the early 2010s and is due for a major renovation. The exterior showed significant peeling paint in several areas, some of the furniture was noticeably worn, and there were no power outlets near the beds, making it inconvenient to charge phones and other devices overnight. The lack of USB charging ports—other than on the television—was also disappointing for a hotel of this category.
Despite these shortcomings, the atmosphere and service made for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the souvenir shop and appreciated that the hotel has a renowned pastry chef, which was reflected in the quality of the desserts. With some modernization, this hotel could once again fully live up to its five-star rating."
"Beautiful boutique and historic property -great location near /but not in Valetta. Short and convenient ferry ride away. Amazing breakfast and staff was very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend."
"Spacious room with air conditioning. Wonderful breakfast delivered to my room with lots of variety each day. Staff was so helpful to answer my questions and give information. High recommend."
"I wish I could have reviewed this property fully. However upon arrival I was told that I was staying at one of their sister hotels, TJ Boutique. While it was a 5 minute walk away it had none of the amenities that Cerviola hotel offered. So every morning I would go to the main hotel for breakfast, the pool, laundry services, etc. TJ Boutique was cute, the AC was nice and the cleaning staff always did an amazing job. The staff at the main hotel were some of the most accommodating and kind people I have ever met. They answered all my questions about the Public transit and recommended some good restaurants near the hotel. While I would have preferred to stay at this hotel, TJ Boutique was a good alternative with the benefit of the main hotel’s amenities."
"We stayed as a family group, 5 people in total for a week-long stay. We can only describe our stay as exceptional and highly recommend the property to other travellers.
Maureen the manager went above and beyond to assist us and provided an outstanding level of service. Prior to our stay she answered numerous questions about the property and the locale, always prompt on replying to emails, as well as assisting us in booking airport transfers to and from the property. In addition, our transfer driver, Mr Petrovic was punctual, friendly and helpful. Maureen was caring, courteous and delivered a level of service far beyond our expectations. We give high praise for all the staff associated with this property. Andes, who managed the kitchen and the breakfast service was a delightful person. He always greeted us with a smile, was polite, considerate and cooked the most delicious breakfast for us each morning. Nothing was too much trouble! The property was exceptionally clean, housekeeping done to a high standard, with water coolers available on each floor. Every area of the hotel was clean and tidy - a credit to the housekeeping team. The pool and the undercover lounge area was a great way to relax after a busy day. We highly recommend this charming property and the outstanding staff that made our stay so memorable. We would definitely stay there again!!"
"I had a great time at Lemon Tree. The guest house is incredibly beautiful (the pictures are accurate!), the room facilities were slightly basic but all in good working order and everything was spotless and well maintained.
But it's the hosting that is where it really comes into its own. Andreina and everyone who works here are the most welcoming of hosts, and the home-cooked breakfast every morning (with many traditional Maltese options) was the absolute highlight! I stated I am pescetarian and Andreina was extremely accomodating - adapting every recipe to my dietary requirements.
Żabbar is a really nice place to stay - it's incredibly quiet, the locals are very friendly, and there's a really frequent 90/91 bus from Żabbar town centre to Valletta bus station - whence you can get a bus to anywhere else in Malta. (There are also buses 92/93/94 closer to Lemon Tree but they are less frequent than the 90/91.)
I also walked to Birgu on my first day - distances in Malta are tiny enough that if the weather allows, it is possible to get around on foot.
The only downside was the shower, which gets its water from a tank and so is quite inconsistent in both pressure and temperature. But this was a minor inconvenience when everything else was so great.
I would definitely stay at Lemon Tree again! Thank you Andreina and everyone!"
