    Mattresses could be swapped sooner rather than later

    Lovely interior with a lot of space to feel at home. Little messages and flours to welcome us. Although it is located in one of the busiest and most photographed streets in Valletta, sound proofing does the job and you can still sleep. The breakfast is an exceptional with loads of selfbaked goods. Alex who served us on our first morning was great and very knowledgeable!

    All was fantastic

    First of all MALTA it's more beautiful than we can imagine. A perfect combination between the old style with many Romans, African and personal influences. In five days I didn't have time to be bored. Mdina Rabat, Comino Island with Blue Lagoon were my favorites. They know how to make the tourist relax by providing many facilities at low prices. The food is delicious starting with the many kinds of rabbit dishes which is traditional and cheap. The inhabitants give you a sense of peace through their authentic way of behaving. Malta is also accessible to tourists with a limited budget VALLETTA LUCENTE GUEST HOUSE combines the new with the old but also with the traditional in a unique and personal way. The accommodation conditions were beyond expectations. The hosts are very welcoming, assisting with discretion so that we have everything we need. This Guest House it has one of the best positions in Valletta, being located in the most beautiful area with the most popular restaurants and shops, close to the famous St. John's Cathedral. The breakfast is really fabulous and for all tastes. Every day someone discreetly cleans the room. Moreover, discretion is one of the qualities of this place On the ground floor there is also a small traditional art shop that belongs to the owners. From here you can buy a lot of things made by the hosts themselves. The hosts manage to make you feel indeed truly at home. I am overwhelmed by everything that Valletta Lucente Guest House and Malta have meant to me. Although the vacation is over, I can say that my heart is still there and I will definitely come back

    The lift was slow and operated sporadically and intermittently but it did eventually transport you where you wanted to go

    Breakfast was excellent with a great selection of cheeses, cold meats, vegetables, salads, breads, home made pastizzi, quiches, jams and chutneys. Rooms are all individually and tastefully. decorated with a unique theme and style.

    Nothing, honestly a fantastic stay.

    The location was fabulous! Really central to everything! Easy to find from the main Valletta bus station. And the staff were so unbelievably kind and thoughtful, even remembered it was our anniversary and made us little swan towels upon arrival. Would absolutely stay here again next time we come to Malta. The homemade breakfast was incredible, really authentic and delicious. The chef himself even remembered us each morning and what coffee we would order, little things like that made us feel really special and welcome.

    Spiral staircase in our room was a slight hindrance and if we have a return trip I would request a room at the rear of the hotel as the noise from the restaurants and bars in the street below is very noisy up to around eleven o’clock at night

    Ideal location for the old town not far from bus and ferry terminal, all the staff are fantastic very friendly,courteous and helpful

    The room was quirky and different to many rooms we have been in however, it was not very practical due to steps in the room and down to the toilet, it was easy to trip! The health and safety people in the UK would be shocked. The cupboard for clothes was inadequate as there was a lack of shelves so we ended living out of the suitcases. The bed was excellent as was the two terraces.

    Location was great. Staff very good and helpful.

    Poor beeakfast, and heavy noise during fests, Fridays and Saturdays until late at night. There are 2 stores with music just in front of the guesthouse and as room "Anne" has an old malteze balcony all noise enters the room. My advice to guests is to carefully check the fest-calender for Valette before booking "Anne". The guesthouse has rooms facing the building's atrium and definitely those are quiet.

    Room "Anne" is a spacious room of 30m2 with living room and bedroom on top of the room. Bed is of very good quality. Bathroom is spacious too. Located at the very centre of touristic Valette.

    A great hotel in the heart of Valletta.

    I'd say a little on the expensive side - we didn't feel short-changed, but it was more when we arrived than the price we were quoted and agreed to on booking.com

    The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Valletta. Breakfast was fine - perhaps a little more choice would've been good. The room itself was great. If I'm being picky, the pillows and mattress were far too soft, but guess that's down to personal preference, and some more/different crockery in the room would've been good. The staff were all super friendly and helpful - unobtrusive but there when you needed them, and the hotel was spotlessly clean throughout.

    O my god what is a room! The hotel is situated inside an 16 century palace and that really feels like a palace, at least in the room Layla on the top floor with not one but two gorgeous terraces. Or maybe even three, depending on how you count them - full of plants, in the middle of everything and still a private sanctuary for relaxation. The interior is an eclectic mix of contemporary design and vintage furniture. Spectacular is the word. There are some stairs and differences in levels in the room and in between the terraces so this is not for people with disabilities. Valletta Lucente Guest House is located in the middle of everything. It’s by no means quiet but vibrant and fun with nice bars and fantastic restaurants literally just steps away. Breakfast is really good, the staff is super friendly and this is going to be a stay to remember. Enjoy!
