Set in Valletta, 66 Saint Paul's & Spa is a 2-minute walk from University of Malta - Valletta Campus and provides a terrace, spa and a summer outdoor pool with city views.

We were lucky to book a "city view" room, so we had a window overlooking the street. Some of the rooms are internal and the only natural light is from the atrium. That said the street can be noisy in the evening and morning.

Offering quiet street views, South Wind Guesthouse is an accommodation situated in Marsaxlokk, 700 metres from Il-Ballut Reserve Beach and less than 1 km from Qrajten Beach.

We’ve been here before, great location for walking or just using it as a base. Very friendly staff, breakfast was excellent, rooms are very spacious. A must see is the Sunday market.

Centrally located in Cospicua, BOCO Boutique Hotel is a 5-minute walk from the port. This property offers free WiFi throughout, views of the Grand Harbour and Valletta, and rooms with air...

For a city hotel it was lovely. The staff were so friendly and gave us so many tips. One to share as part of the review is get the ferry just down the key side to Valletta but keep your ticket so you can use the lift on the other side.

Offering quiet street views, Central Suites St. Julian's is an accommodation set in St Julian's, 1.2 km from Exiles Beach and 1.6 km from Fond Ghadir Beach.

We liked our stay very much. Serena explained everything important and she even gave us some maps and advices about Maltese transport and places to visit, which was very helpful. The location is quite calm, but everything you need is nearby - little Convenience Shop and Mrabat bus stop just down the road, Lidl supermarket, scooter rental and so on less than 1 km away. FYI: you have to wait cca 20 minutes for the water to get heated after you switch the power on using your roomcard. But this was not a problem for us at all.

Located within 600 metres of Qui-Si-Sana Beach and less than 1 km of Fond Ghadir Beach in Sliema, Tinja Bnb provides accommodation with seating area and a kitchen.

Perfect location for transport links, airport bus and ferry terminal at the bottom of the road. Hosts were easily available, but it felt like we had the place to ourselves, with easy access via code entry to building and room sent by hosts on day of arrival. Lovely to sit and have our breakfast in the beautiful kitchen/lounge area whenever we wanted to get up. Mini fridge in room to keep milk, juices and essentials cold. Stunning building, full of charm.

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Palazzio 1787 is a guest house set in a historic building in Żejtun, 2.7 km from Il-Ballut Reserve Beach. With city views, this accommodation provides a balcony....

The breakfast was excellent. Small tidbits like yoghurt, omelets, fresh fruit etc all prepared and served by the supernice couple who own the Palazzio. The environment breathes history and is very quaint and charming.

    I can talk a lot - I am extremely grateful to the host of Eight Point Living 6B and his attitude! Thanks to his responsiveness and assistance, we did not give up and visited Malta. Great location of the holiday house - very close to the historic center, next to the port - in a very colorful and at the same time quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There is free parking in front of it. A cozy stone home that has all the amenities you need, AC, ceiling fans.. everything was great. We highly recommend

    It was absolutely fantastic. Maria was very helpful and thoughtful (chocolates left outside our door on the last morning were such a lovely touch!). The place was clean and quiet and in a great location.

    Casa Cara was in a perfect location. Quiet and quaint. Birgu is a wonderful place to stay and getting the water taxi over to Valetta is magical. We loved Casa Cara's terrace where we could sit in the evenings.

    What a view! Absolutely breathtaking to wake up to every morning. The apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. It's very quiet so easy to sleep. Great location close to Birgu waterfront and square. Check in instructions were easy and host was responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend this apartment!

    Great location. Strict City Center. Nearby restaurants and cafes where you can eat both breakfast and dinner. The quietest city among all three. Other cities are typically touristic cities. Close to the bus stop and ferry to Valletta. I recommend this place.
