We enjoyed our stay and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The location of the guesthouse is great once you get your bearings! The rooms are very clean and have all the items you need. The beds were very comfortable but just a bit narrow for me personally. Overall I thought it was excellent.

Lovely big room. Fantastic breakfast and very friendly, helpful staff. Not too far to walk into Valletta, about 30 minutes or so, ( we didn’t manage to find the bus stop), but we were also able to get a taxi easily. Not many places to eat or drink in the vicinity.
