Paceville Vacations from $1,051

Nice hotel spoilt by the sheer noise of all the party revellers who are using the place as a crash pad

Our room was very spacious, with quirky and interesting décor, a fridge, air conditioning and a comfortable bed. We were delighted by the little surprise left hanging on the door each evening, and even a lovely bunch of flowers to welcome us on arrival — such thoughtful touches! The location is perfect, within easy reach of just about everything Valletta has to offer and only around 10–15 minutes from the main bus terminus. The room had all the usual amenities, although you do need to ask for milk for your tea and coffee. As it’s fresh milk, I can understand why it isn’t left in the room. The staff were all very friendly, approachable and helpful, and the breakfast was lovely. One thing worth mentioning is that our room faced the street, which is quite a lively spot and can be noisy until around midnight. This wasn’t a major issue for us, as closing the windows did a great job of keeping the noise out. I imagine rooms at the rear of the property would be much quieter. Other than this minor point, I really can’t fault our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily stay here again if we return to Malta!

The only criticism is that there is limited space for storing clothes and the lack of replacing condiments e.g tea bags in the room.

Being situated in a street level room was quite noisy until late into the night and there did not appear to be any sound proofing of the window. It was also very noisy with people coming in and out of the hotel as everyone passed our room and we were next to the entry door. Overall the room and building were nice, purely the issue with noise for us. Breakfast looked very basic but as we had to get to airport we didn’t have time to eat breakfast.
