10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, conveniently located, and exceptional staff! Our stay was highlighted by a very warm welcome by the concierge, Michael M., who was so warm and helpful ensuring that every aspect of our stay in the hotel and in Malta was the best it could be. The hotel architecture is amazing and the location is perfect for easy access to the city highlights and attractions, while a quiet and comfortable stay. All the staff was friendly and helpful, making for a wonderful overall experience!"

San Karlu Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly and accommodating, hotel was central, clean and comfortable bed, only downside was we booked courtyard view room and we had a view of the lift from a tiny window. No other windows in the room, so basically had to keep curtains closed the full time as everyone could see in our room when waiting for the lift."

115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective

10/10 Excellent

"Super séjour et super emplacement! J’ai été capable de ne faire servir en français, c’est une très belle attention. La vue de la terrasse est merveilleuse. Le petit déjeuner excellent (arrivez tôt le matin ). J’ai tout aimé."

Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff on reception were really helpful and attentive to requests. The room was spotless everyday with towel decorations. The breakfast was excellent. One suggestion would be to move the tea and coffee making and juices to the lounge to make more room in the serving area as the breakfast area is quite small. Very highly rated and we would definitely go back"

The Barrister

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, friendly and knowledgeable manager. Definitely recommend!"

Mulberry Suites by The LVH Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late at the hotel and, as expected, the frond door was locked. This was very promptly delt with by the on call night staff and we found everything ready for us. Our room was clean, the hot water hot, and all the room facilities in good repair and very comfortable. Following an excellant continental breakfast we found the center of Valetta only 2 mins walk away so 10/10 for location. But ALL the staff were the stars, never too much bother, a genuine can I do anything else to help and always with a big smile. We have already recommended this to our family and friends."
