The staff was warm and friendly. Our room overlooked the grand harbour and from our balcony we could see the boats pass by. We also had a clear view of the firing of the cannon Close to everything

The setting of the hotel with many rooms looking out onto Grand Harbour make it an exceptional place to stay which is further enhanced by the rooftop patio where one can enjoy refreshments whilst soaking up the exceptional ambience.
The staff and service are excellent and the hotel is maintained to a very high standard. Whilst close to the centre of Valletta be prepared for quite a few steps and slopes.

We loved this hotel. It has a great position overlooking the Grand Harbour and our room with a wrap around balcony gave us a great view of Vittoriosa, one of the three cities across the water. Being in the centre of Valletta it is ideally placed to explore the city with everything within walking distance.
