The room was very clean and the amenities cannot be beat! Full kitchenette and washer/dryer. 30 minute walk/hike to downtown Valletta. One note for people who like to sleep in. Church bells go off around 8am every morning. Beautiful and musical, but hard to sleep through

Renovated, clean, cold with friendly owners! Only weird part was the single room bathroom with shower that flooded the entire bathroom floor. Other than that, it was super convenient to Valletta and the airport and very affordable. Owner met us on site and walked us to our room. I would stay here again.

Loved its clean and spacious modern room with mini terrace. We were disappointed at first that we were not able to stay at the penthouse where we originally booked for due to hotels.com’s double booking, and the guesthouse notified us a day before checking in, but the staff were nice and friendly. Thank God, We were able to stay at other room and check in at midnight. (Hope they refund us for downgrading the room) Other than this, everything was nice and great! We plan to stay again next time for more days.

A gorgeous family run business! Myself and my partner stayed for 1 night at the end of our holiday, mainly to be near the airport for an early flight convenience. However, we wish we had stayed longer! We were welcomed by the lovely family, who chatted to us about the area, the history and family history. We were made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The guest house is situated an ideal 20 min walk from the main bus bays outside central Valletta. The furnishings of the recpetion, cafe and rooms were immaculate, modern and clean. We recommend trying the chocolate croissant from the cafe!! 😍 We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again, thanks for a fabulous experience!

This guesthouse is very new, modern, clean and comfortable. My room is on the top floor, bright and spacious with breeze balcony The location is good too, quiet, two streets away from main road but a major bus stop Pieta just 7min walk, easy access to all major attractions by public transport bus. It has kitchenette, everything needed- microwave, cooktop oven, but I didn’t cook at all. And there is washing machine. Be careful to use 5kg wash and dry. It can be very hot to ruin your clothes. Bathroom is breeze, functional. Staff are very friendly, and responsive. My room wasn’t ready but Rodianne is very apologetic, offered me a good cup of espresso. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay here.

The good: The people working there were excellent and would do anything you asked of them. Washing machine was amazing g to have in my room. The bad: Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The sheets were really old and pilled and need to be thrown away. The pillows were the same way and need to be replaced. Booked an airport transfer through their link and was scammed out of $40. This isn’t really the best area in Malta and I wish I had stayed in a more touristy area where there are restaurants and shops. Buses were always late or didn’t show up and were always packed full of people.

Situé à l’écart de l’agitation des quartiers touristiques ou animés, le Central Guest House offre une atmosphère paisible, idéale pour se ressourcer après une journée d’exploration. Son emplacement, à mi-chemin entre les différents points stratégiques de l'île est particulièrement pratique pour les voyageurs motorisés. Bien que l’hôtel ne dispose pas de parking privé, il est très facile de stationner dans la rue. Les points de départ des excursions (La Valette, Gozo, les Trois Cités, Comino, etc.) se trouvent à proximité de la Smida Yacht Marina, accessible en 10 à 15 minutes à pied. Enfin, la présence d’un supermarché Lidl à seulement 1,5 km s’avère très pratique pour les courses du quotidien La chambre avec deux lits simples est spacieuse et parfaitement équipée. Parmi les commodités appréciables, on trouve le Wi-Fi, un lave-linge/sèche-linge, un lave-vaisselle, un four, un micro-ondes, des plaques de cuisson et une télévision. La terrasse est un véritable atout : elle offre une vue imprenable sur les quartiers historiques et permet d’admirer des couchers de soleil magiques chaque soir. Le jacuzzi, quant à lui, est la cerise sur le gâteau, parfait pour se détendre et profiter pleinement du séjour. Les petits-déjeuners de style britannique sont copieux et savoureux. À noter cependant : le service ne commence qu’à 7h30, ce qui peut être un peu tardif pour les excursions matinales, notamment vers Gozo. Par ailleurs, la réception n'est ouverte que jusqu'à 16h, un détail à p

Buen servicio y buenas instalaciones

El alojamiento muy completo y cómodo dispone de cocina e incluso lavadora, como solo fuimos dos días no utilizamos nada, pero es bueno disponer de ello, la primera noche tuvimos que dormir con unas almohadas muy duras y grandes, no había nadie en recepción para cambiarlas, al día siguiente lo comentemos y nos las cambianron enseguida, el último día teníamos el vuelo muy temprano y.
