"Amazing location, very close to the main areas of Valletta. Plenty of restaurants in the area. The staff was very helpful, provided us with excellent recommendations for restaurants. The only downside of the hotel was the breakfast. It was a little disappointing, the space (lobby area) can become very crowded and replenishment of food items can be quite slow."
