My husband and I stayed at this property the evening before an early morning flight. The apartment is a short 24-minute easy walk along a very nice and safe path. In my opinion, this is the perfect location to stay for this reason. The apartment itself was spotless and looked brand new. Even though it was very close to the airport we did not hear any airplane noise. We also did not hear any noise from the neighborhood or from within the building. It is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Our host, Norbert, was very kind and extremely responsive. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Prime location to go anywhere, view from the balcony photos below...walking the 3 cities, their beautiful churches, museums and their harbours from here is a delight, bus stops are right outside, ferry 150m down the road for Valetta (10 minutes across the harbour), most restaurants are a pleasant 10 minute walk along the marina. Martina and her staff are all excellent, respectful of privacy if you value it and will step in if assistance is required. We like continental breakfast which is very good here. The hotel was quiet at night when we were there, we were on the 4th floor, from our window you can see the yacht marina in the foreground and in the distance huge cruise ships coming and going from Grand Harbour. Martina also kindly accomodated our baggage on check-out day for a late flight home, which was much appreciated,

We had an exceptional stay at Cugo Gran Marina. By far, it was our favourite place we stayed in Malta. The included breakfast was delicious, the staff went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed, and the rooftop pool with its view of Senglea Harbour can’t be beat. The location is fantastic - an easy walk to Birgu and Fort St. Angelo and a short ferry ride from Valletta. If I had a do-over, I’d escape the crowds in Valetta and book my entire stay here. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

The breakfast was very good - good things to choose from from. The wait staff were really nice and helpful. We really loved our stay - it’s a perfect location that makes it easy to get around and explore. The room was large and clean and very comfortable with a window overlooking the street below. The staff were so helpful - we appreciated that we could store our luggage and use the bathroom there after checking out and until our taxi to the airport. Highly recommended !

So easy to get to Valetta ferry and good restaurants nearby. This area is quieter (not the cruise ships of people) and I think prettier. Rooms modern, with air con and smart tv, plus the roof is beautiful with the plunge pool. Croissants and/ or apples at front desk which is nice and coffee maker/ fridge in room which is what I like. Contact with owner was great and they have a personal driver ( rather than app) for those early morning pick ups.

I stayed in Gudja as a base to travel around the southern part of Malta for 11 days. It was perfect, Gudja is beautiful quiet town, it felt safe and was an excellent area to stay in, away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas of Malta easy access by bus to beaches/ restaurants / boat trips in Marsakala, Marsaxlokk, Birzebugga, St Thomas Bay, Blue Grotto etc also regular buses to Valletta.

Central location with good bus service to airport and other areas. The area itself is quite residential but an easy bus ride away from Valletta, Birgu and other areas where attractions are. Quieter at night time but still has food options to buy yourself or to eat out. The church is astonishing.

We didn't get to see as much of the town as we wanted, since we only stayed 2 days and bused into Valletta and Mdina both days. But in Hal Saflieni we visited a pastry shop with absolutely delicious food, and a grocery store where an employee immediately struck up a conversation with us in Italian and was super friendly. I would have loved to explore longer!

Tarxien is a lovely, quiet, and highly authentic Maltese town. We were incredibly lucky to stay there during the local festa, which was an amazing, colorful, and lively experience for the whole family! The neighborhood feels very safe and traditional, away from the tourist crowds. It is also very conveniently located, making it easy and quick to travel to Valletta or the airport. We really enjoyed the local vibe!

We really enjoyed staying in Qormi.

We really enjoyed staying in Qormi. We felt very safe in the area, even when returning late at night. Qormi is not the most modern or seaside part of Malta, but this is something you are aware of when choosing the location, and for us it was not a problem. What we appreciated most was the location in terms of transport. Qormi is conveniently situated between Valletta and the airport, which gave us very good public transport connections to practically the whole island. We usually needed just one change of bus at most to reach our destinations, and the connections were generally reliable. The area also felt more local and authentic, with more residents than tourists, which we personally enjoyed. There is a supermarket within walking distance of the accommodation, with everything we needed for groceries and everyday necessities. We did not explore Qormi itself very extensively, as we mostly used it as a convenient base for exploring the rest of Malta. For us, it was a great choice because it offered a quieter and more local atmosphere while still being well connected and relatively close to the main tourist destinations.

Wandering through the narrow streets, discovering an authentic Maltese village, meeting friendly locals, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere made our stay truly special. Żurrieq is a quiet and charming place, yet conveniently located just a short distance from the airport and the capital city. A wonderful place to experience the authentic side of Malta.

We stayed here so we could visit family and friends.

We stayed here so we could visit family and friends. As a place to stay in the summer it is not ideal. The hotel restaurant did not exist and there is nowhere nearby to eat. We had to travel to Paola to eat. It is a good basis to see the south of the island, however it is very built up and not as beautiful as the north of the island. Finding somewhere to swim is a challenge -the hotel pool is very small and shallow and few places to sit around the pool as it is mainly a snack bar. the pictures are not representative of the pool. Overall it was disappointing given the price. Better to stay there in the winter as a base from which to explore the history of the island, or as an overnight retreat. The only plus were the staff who were very kind and it was quiet !
