    There was a very stud#ffy and humid smell due to the lack of windows in the room.

    The location was very quiet and close to the Rabat center. The room also provided very good privacy and had a number of good facilities available.

    This was the most beautiful place I ever stayed, every detail was perfect. Michaela was so welcoming and friendly, I immediately regretted not booking here for longer. It felt like home. The host Antonija and her partner checked in on the phone to ensure I had arrived and they were so helpful, they even helped me organise my trip to the Salt Pans and were available on whatsapp after I checked out!!!!

    Nothing to not like.

    Absolutely fantastic location in the heart of the old town. Beautiful building and beautifully done up. Very quiet with St George's Square right round the corner for plenti of restaurants and a beautiful view at St. George's Basilica. Citadella is only a few minutes walk away. Easy to reach from the bus terminal in Victoria. Loved my stay and will hopefully return one day.

    There's no window in the room I stayed, hence no natural light coming in. This made waking up naturally quite difficult. Also, the whole premise smells a bit of humidity, but I guess it's because of the building itself.

    The room and the bathroom are spacious and very clean. The quality standards better than many hotels I've stayed in the past. Lots of nice and useful toiletries in the bathroom. A welcoming surprise after the other hostels I stayed previously. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There's a nice terrace at the top. I really liked the furniture and decoration. Definitely great value for the money spent.

    Nothing. It’s a traditional stone house so for example our bedroom didn’t have a window but we knew what we were booking and the experience was great

    Very quaint, traditional Gozo house. Very clean, great bed/shower and shared communal space. Great communication from hosts - (messaging to ask if all ok) and great price and location in heart of old city

    All perfect ☺️

    The location is perfect, 10 minutes walk from the center of Victoria and close to all amenities (bus stop, mall, shops, restaurants...). The house is in a quiet area and is amazing, authentic Maltese house full of beautiful details: hairdryer, towels, water, fridge, coffee machine, AC, different lights, living room with TV, wifi...really cozy. The owner is always in contact with you by WhatsApp and she was so nice and helpfull. Thanks a lot!

    Only a very minor suggestion. Later check out perhaps 1100. Just makes it more relaxed.

    Exceptional property. 5 star interior design decor and comfort in an unassuming exterior of a 300 year old building in the old area. Super clean. Comfortable bed and linens. Excellent plumbing. Magnificent shower. Wifi fine. Charging well set up. Easy walk to bus station and only a few minutes from lively restaurant areas and citadel Great value for the 2 nights I stayed Excellent communication from hosts. Easy self entry.
