Our host was exceptionally accommodating. When asked him if there was any way we could leave our luggage somewhere before check in he told us that we could leave it in his home. He gave us a key, told us he would put our luggage in our room when it was ready and let us know when we could enter. It turned out that it was two hours earlier than the official check in. We also asked about the best way to get to the airport and he told us he would drive us; he got up at 6 a.m. and took us right to the airport.

Guest review
We’re a couple in our 50's/60's on a short trip to Malta. This apartment was wonderful! It was comfortable and roomy, with thick walls and windows that blocked out noise. It had a full-size bed, a kettle for tea and coffee, and dishes and glasses. The refrigerator was a good size, and the hosts left two large bottles of water and a bottle of prosecco for us, which was a lovely touch. The air conditioning worked well, and we were glad of it since Malta’s evenings were still warm. The Wi-Fi was also very good. The modern bathroom was spacious, with a very nice shower, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The location suits you if you’d rather be away from the main tourist areas. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the ferry and the small boats that cross to Valletta, and less than 5 minutes to the cafes along the marina. The neighborhood was quiet, and our room had a lovely view over the city wall to the marina. The apartment is a short walk up a hill, which you can take by stairs or by road. We were on the first floor, and there’s an elevator for the higher floors. The staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived late in the evening because of a late flight, and they let us check out late so we could keep our bags in the room until we left for the airport. We will definitely stay here again and will recommend it to our friends vacationing in Malta.

We had a harbor view room, which was a fantastic split level size and extremely comfortable, with great views of the harbour. The rooftop pool also had great views. Staff were attentive and friendly and the breakfasts had lots of choice. A bonus was the water taxi to Valletta was a few minutes from the from of the hotel on the harbour.

The moment I entered the hotel, I was greeted with warm enthusiasm by Ms Petra, who helped me with my bag and check-in -- that was a perfect 10 first impression! Valetta is an ancient town, yet The Cumberland by NEU Collective was fresh sleek classic modern. I have to give credits to the front desk team (Petra and 2 other gentlemen), housekeeping and the breakfast place. The hotel's excellent location made moving around extremely effortless. It was close to the main street which makes it easy to hop on and off a taxi. The cafes and restaurants out front were lively bustling with energy. Despite the incredibly busy neighborhood, the hotel provided tranquil and poised.

The staff at 23 Boutique Hotel greeted us like friends, and were extremely warm and informative throughout our stay. There is no on-site restaurant, but this was a deliberate choice so that we could have more flexibility in this part of the trip. The room was comfortable and well-furnished, the A/C was efficient, and the bathroom was one of the most spacious I've ever seen! Having 24-hour access to the comfortable rooftop lounge was lovely. Our stay coincided with the festival of St Publius, which offered an unexpectedly joyful and spirited glimpse of life in the il-Furjana neighbourhood. There was also the international fireworks festival in Malta in the same week. We preferred this kind of local colour over being amid throngs of tourists, but travelers may need to bear in mind that there is a lot of noise, music and fireworks in and around Valletta in April.

Our stay at the Private Suite with Sea View and Jacuzzi at Palazzo De La Sengle Boutique Hotel was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome and attention to detail. The suite itself was a dream elegantly decorated, spacious, and with breathtaking panoramic views over the Grand Harbour and Valletta. The private jacuzzi on the balcony was the highlight of our trip. Watching the sun set over the city skyline while relaxing in the warm water was simply magical, an experience we’ll never forget. The hotel staff were outstandingly friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with recommendations or arrangements. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, served with care each morning in a lovely setting.

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.

Highly recommended. Possibly the most clean and pristine small hotel I have ever stayed in, very nicely designed, and with a very warm owner - Michael - who is genuinely interested in helping his guests enjoy ther time in Malta. Take the local small boats back and forth to the old town if you can, and try the pizza at Farina - some of the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had.

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.

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 !
