We had a grueling nearly 24 hour journey to get to Malta from Dallas after multiple weather related delays. We'd also arrived without our luggage since we had to run to catch our connection in Frankfurt. We were then dropped off a few blocks from the hotel (which is located in a pedestrian only area) without specific instructions on finding it and had to rely on our Google app to locate it. All that to say, we were quite frazzled by the time we got to the hotel and checked in. The front desk staff was extremely engaging and empathetic helping us get checked in and assuring us that they would alert us as soon as our bags arrived and if they did so overnight would not disturb us until morning since we were exhausted. They then provided us with the essentials for our overnight stay and made several suggestions for dinner that evening. |The room was quite warm when we arrived - Europe was experiencing a heatwave that week - as is standard in Europe everything is turned off in the room when it is unoccupied. It didn't take long to cool down and the room was very nice with a great view of the city a nice sitting area and sincerely one of the most comfortable beds I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping on (which may or may not have been influenced by extreme exhaustion). The bathroom was great with a nice shower and toiletries. We were a bit concerned about the noise from the street and the chiming church bells, however the bells did stop in the evening and the street noise, minimal as it was, was overcome by a handy white noise generator and we slept peacefully and deeply. Breakfast the next morning at the rooftop lounge was delicious and made better by the terrific view and friendly staff. Fortunately our bags arrived promptly and were delivered to our room so we could get on with our vacation.||We only stayed 2 nights for this trip - would have loved to have stayed a week and cannot wait to go back. If you're looking for a lovely place to stay in historic Valletta walking distance to restaurants, shopping and historic sites - THIS is THE place to do it. Cannot recommend it highly enough!
