The property was in the Core of Valletta with easy access to atractions, restaurants and shops. Staff was very attentive, particularly Pasha at the reception. Breakfast was at a restaurant 5 blocks away but it was worth the walk since service was super . Special thanks to Katia and Francisco.

Although right in the heart of the city with nights vibrant with live music below my window nightly, I absolutely loved that and being walking distance to the historical town and many churches, shopping and historical museums. Elevator was broke and its good to call if you arrive late since office does not always have staff. but safe and quality stay. They left us goodies in the room too, a plus!

I've stayed twice for the easy access to shops, churches and museums. I especially enjoyed the upper room with the incredible city view and private jacuzzi! What a treat! Although the elevator was out of service, I got great exercise up and down the stairwell, enjoyed the live music nightly below and had a way to get in by gate as the staff was not always there at the desk. They did have a contact # I could reach tho if help was needed.

The property had a great location but we saw at least 4 cockroaches in the room and the shower tiles looked like they were missing a good cleaning. The "courtyard" room opened up to a ventilation shaft with a restaurant below, all the noises and smells came up and the room had no windows.

The room was very economical for the location. However my air conditioning unit was repeatedly automatically set to heating during the hottest December temperatures on record, and I had several days where I was stuck without cool air despite repeatedly informing the property staff.

Very hard to find. Rotten fish smell. Bathroom extraction brought in the smell from the fryer downstairs. Bathroom sink blocked and dirty. Restaurant kitchen very noisy, playing loud music. I should have listened to the other reviews and not stayed there, I checked out 2 days early and found somewhere else

So, I expected the window in my room. In the evening I couldn't shower, because the water was too hot, as there was not cold water at all.They did not serve continental breakfast. To have a slice of cheese and ham I had to pay full breakfast, so I gave up and had breakfast somewhere else on the day 3...

Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Hotel befindet sich direkt in der Stadt, was super praktisch ist. Wir haben das Zimmer für 3 Tage gebucht. Am zweiten Tag hatten wir zuerst kein warmes Wasser gehabt, danach nach paar Stunden gar kein Wasser mehr... Am Abreisetag kurz vor dem auschecken floß wieder das warme Wasser aus dem Hahn...unsere Nachbarn hatten das gleiche Problem gehabt.. Wir hatten keine Fenster im Zimmer... Klimaanlage hat auch ganz komisch funktioniert... Im Zimmer war immer stickig und sehr warm... Die Türen sind zum größten Teil aus Glas gewesen..total unangenehm für die Gäste.. Um zu frühstücken musste man ca 5 min laufen. Also Frühstück ist Nicht im Hotel. Aber total lecker. Diese Unterkunft würde ich leider nicht weiter empfehlen...

Das de la Valetta ist an sehr guter Lagen an der Hauptgasse von Valetta. Restaurants und Läden sind in der autofreien Zone gut erreichbar. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und der Fährhafen sind zu Fuss gut erreichbar. Das Hotel ist über den selben Zugang wie das Restaurant erreichbar. Das Hotel ist wie ein Kubus gebaut, in der Mitte hat es keine Zimmer. Die Küche des Restaurant ist genau in dieser Mitte und die Gerüche ziehen durch das ganze Hotel. Die Klimaanlage war noch auf Wintermodus, es war eine extreme Hitze im Zimmer. Mein Zimmer hatte kein Fenster für frische Luft, aber man konnte bei der Zimmertür die Lamellen schliessen und die Hälfte der Tür offen lassen. Was bedingte, dass es nach Küche roch und der Lärm der aus der Küche zu hören war. Ich reise prinzipiell mit Oropax, was in diesem Hotel sehr nützlich war. Das Zimmer ist eigentlich hübsch und modern jedoch vergammelt das ganze langsam. In den Ecken des Badezimmers hat es Schimmel. Da es keinen Luftaustausch gibt, läuft nur die Lüftung und diese auch nur wenn das Licht brennt. Kein Wunder hat es Schimmel. Es wurde mit Stil renoviert aber es achtet keiner, dass es schön bleibt. Ich empfehle das Hotel nicht weiter, trotz toller Lage.

Prix disproportionné pour un hôtel avec un ascenseur en panne ( pas facile quand la chambre est au 5ème), machine à café en panne, frigo en panne, très bruyant du fait d’un simple vitrage. Le panneau d’affichage de la Clim de la chambre indique un changement de filtre à opérer ( a titre de prévention nous n’avons donc pas utilisé la Clim) L’entrée de cet hôtel se trouve dans un cagibi où le personnel est installé devant une énorme armoire électrique et je me suis faite arrosée sous la Clim gouttant. Dans le spa ; odeurs de cuisine grasse et même un rat s’est échappé en courant sur le spa ( inhospitalier lorsque cette situation se déroule lors d’un bain… en fait je n’y suis pas retournée)! Les bacs à fleurs sur la terrasse se désolent des plantes mortes et desséchées qui mettent une ambiance d’abandon installé. Le personnel dévoué fait se qu’il peut avec rien, et je plains le personnel de chambre. Nous sommes tres déçus d’avoir payé 500 euros pour deux nuits pour cet hôtel. Déçu Déçu Déçu Et inacceptable

Hotel liegt mitten im Fußgängerbereich von Valletta. Umgeben von vielen Restaurants und Shops (u.a. auch ein Lebensmittelmarkt). Alles in Valletta fußläufig zu erreichen, zentraler Busbahnhof für ganz Malta in knapp 10 Min., Fähre nach Sliema ca. 15 Min.. Abends Musik vor einem Restaurant in der Nähe, die auch im Zimmer zu hören ist (meist 60er/70er-Jahre-Musik, Jazz-Rock). Endet ca. 23:00-23:30 Uhr, dann Ruhe bis morgens. Unser Familienzimmer war geräumig mit Fenster zur Straße. Großes Doppelbett plus Liege für 2 erwachsene Personen. Bad mit großer Dusche. Sauber. Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei. Wir lüfteten nur darüber, ließen Fenster und Tür zu (Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit außerhalb waren deutlich höher als im Zimmer). Nachts ließen wir die Klimaanlage meistens aus. Die Mitarbeiter im Hotel waren sehr freundlich. Über die Expedia-Nachrichten konnten wir auch außerhalb der Rezeptionszeiten Fragen zeitnah klären. Wir waren mit 4-köpfiger Familie 10 Tage dort und sehr zufrieden. Das im Preis enthaltene (kontinentale) Frühstück im nahen Cafe hat uns nicht überzeugt. Wir haben uns über den wenige Schritte entfernten Lebensmittelmarkt (der auch sonntags geöffnet hatte) mit frischem Obst und allem für uns Wichtigen selbst versorgt. Im Treppenhaus gab es zeitweise, vor allem abends, sehr unangenehmen Fett-Geruch aus dem im EG liegenden Restaurant. Uns hat es nicht weiter gestört, da der Geruch nicht ins Zimmer kam.
