This is a modern boutique hotel located in the bottom end of the Valletta peninsula. It is relatively new (2 years old) spread over five or six floors with a small number of rooms on each floor. The hotel is reached from the road by walking down steep steps to the far end of an alleyway - don’t expect taxi drivers or staff to carry your bags. Breakfast is part of the deal but the quality and range of foods on offer is not extensive. Coffee comes from a capsule machine and juice is not freshly squeezed. Cooked breakfast is eggs, beans, sausages and bacon. The cereal selection is simple. The room had a king sized bed and good aircon- the bathroom had a good shower/bath with plenty of hot water but the basin was a strange design which meant wet shaving was a challenge. The in-room safe was not attached to anything so presumably could have been carried out (it wasn’t). On the roof is a plunge pool with loungers and a bar so it is possible to get away from the hubbub of Valletta and chill. The best bit about the hotel was its location within walking distance of everything that Valletta had to offer. The staff were attentive and helpful. Thursday nights the mother hotel around the corner offers a local food dinner plus drink which was worthwhile.

We liked that it was central to everything and we walked everywhere
