The hotel had spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms with a TV and refrigerator, but the windows faced a wall with almost no natural light. The service was not very professional, although they did help print our boarding pass before we left. The location, although smaller than expected, was excellent for walking to all of Valletta's attractions. The dining options were limited, but the cooked items were delicious.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room, though a bit small, was quiet, very clean, and extremely comfortable with a fantastic view.
