A perfect stay. Very straightforward, with door codes sent to guests after online check-in. The best bit is the rooftop seating area with hot tub. Ideal for sunrise views - or any time of day - across the harbour and the city. The service was excellent.

We loved our stay at this charming boutique hotel. The service was excellent and they went out of their way to accommodate/help us. Everyone spoke English and there are also at least two Spanish speakers. The location in the middle of town couldn’t have been better - close to great restaurants and sights. There is also a rooftop wine bar w a pool and great views of the city. They also offered us a free glass of wine up there each night. The rooms were very clean and modern. We also enjoyed the daily breakfasts, the beds were comfortable and the WiFi was strong. There were international plugs on both sides of the bed for us to charge our phones. It was also really cool to have access to the Maltese balcony in our room. We highly recommend and are very glad we stayed here.
