The staff and service is what makes this stop 5 star (and the amazing pool + garden grounds). The rooms are very small, but you’re in such a fantastic area you rarely spend time in your room. I highly recommend!

We stayed for 4 nights. Room was nice and clean. Hotel is situated in a very nice area and neighborhood. Beautiful lobby , slow service at the restaurant La and lounge. Walkable to many historic places and restaurants and shops. I had one of the best massage at the hotel spa by Grace , she was fantastic. The only problem during our stay was food, breakfast was ok they need to improve the quality of the food. food service was slow. Dinner was a lot better quality. Overal very nice stay.

Loved the style, the wonderful staff, excellent breakfast, beautiful communal areas and fantastic location. Bedrooms are fairly simple but very comfortable and well appointed The only thing I’d have liked would be blinds / way of subduing the natural light in the bathroom which was very bright first thing in the morning. Otherwise ten/ten

A great hotel with a peaceful and upmarket atmosphere. Rooms aren't big but they are clean and comfortably furnished and we had a lovely view of the harbour. We enjoyed the restaurant - good selection at breakfast. The hotel is brilliantly situated just outside Valletta's city gate so easy to walk everywhere.
