the breakfast had good options and free water was available throughout the day. the location was good, with only a few minutes walk to the main street.
the air conditioning dont work properly because it turns off as soon as you leave the room. this caused the room to heat up again, and the floors in the rooms were dirty.

solid stay close to transport
convenient locationproactive lettereasy storagemissing mini-fridge
the location suited my needs perfectly, especially given i used public transport. bus stops were very close , and the ferry to valletta was easily accessible. the room was clean , and i appreciated the proactive welcome letter explaining everything i needed to know. storing my luggage was no problem at all.
the room lacked a mini-fridge , which would have been useful for storing drinks and snacks. this would be a convenient addition .
