The Snop House

We have just spent a week at the Snop House and have nothing but praise for the accommodation and staff who made the stay a real pleasure. The owners of the House have clearly not stinted in the refurbishment they have made to the property which has transformed the interior of a traditional Maltese house into a luxurious place to stay without losing the original feel. A feature of the House is the extensive range of interesting paintings and sculptures. The absence of a television in the room was initially surprising but actually if anything it enhanced the holiday and meant instead unwinding with a book and a glass of wine on the rooftop terrace or taking advantage of the nearby bars and restaurants surrounding the harbour. Others have mentioned the ease of access to Valetta via the ferry, whilst the bus service on the island is cheap. It's worth flagging that the most direct route to the harbour and ferry is via a flight of 98 steps but if mobility is an issue then the bus stop is almost adjacent to Snop House. Shawn and Elia could not have been more welcoming and helpful. That sense of welcome was reflected in everyone we met from the island and - together with its fascinating history - made for a great holiday.

This boutique hotel is wonderful. The position, the staff and the hotel itself are perfect. We stayed for 6 nights. The room was lovely clean and comfortable everything had been thought of. A bus stop across the road and a few minutes | from lovely restaurants and bars with lovely views. We can recommend this hotel if you want comfort luxury and out of the busyness of Valletta but with access to it by a quick ferry ride.

We had a great week-long stay at Snop House and really enjoyed everything about it. Shawn, who looked after our booking and greeted us when we arrived, was so friendly and attentive—he made sure everything went smoothly from the start.||Breakfast each morning was such a treat, with fresh croissants, jams, yogurt, and a few Maltese specialties like Pastizzi, gbejna and helwa tat-Tork. It was a really nice way to start the day.||Our room was super comfortable, and we loved having a mini fridge, coffee and tea setup, plus our own robe and slippers—it felt like a little extra bit of luxury.||We also really enjoyed ending our days up on the rooftop bar area. There were drinks available, and it was such a relaxing spot to hang out in the evenings.||The location is great too—easy to get to Valletta and explore the Three Cities. All in all, it was a lovely stay and we’d definitely recommend it

The hotel is very clean and quiet, beds very comfortable. Sleep at night came easy. It is near a busstop. And a few minutes walk to the harbour if you want to take the boat taxis. You’re greeted by your name and a wonderful smell of fresh bread when you come down the stairs for breakfast. There was a new Maltese specialty for us to try each day. You’re given tips about where to go or what to do and how to get there. The water in the rooms is refilled daily. There was a familiarity and friendliness between everyone, the hosts and the guests. |I have never experienced this kind of hospitality elsewhere, definitely coming back!

Excellent location with a 5min walk to harbour side and to catch ferry to Valletta…..we bought a bus pass which was well worth it and just hopped on and travelled from there. The hotel was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were incredible and filled you up for the day. The staff were very friendly and nothing too much trouble for them……and gave us ideas on where to go. |Keep doing what you are doing as you can’t go wrong.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. A perfect BB in the heart of the ancient city of Senglea, one of the three older parts of Valleta. Tasty locally sourced food for breakfast, attentive staff and spotless rooms. A great base for walking, dining, sightseeing and relaxing. Thank you and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return.

The Snop House is located in the heart of Senglea and is an old traditional Maltese House however inside has been transformed into a modern tasteful boutique hotel, our room was named the Mayonne and was situated on the 3rd floor accessible via stairs or a lift, the room had a double bed with a bathroom and shower room, we were slightly disappointed as we didn’t have any space outside of our room to sit and relax, we did notice the other two rooms below us had outside access with tables and chairs that being said we did have access to the roof top which was a floor above us and had commanding views across to Valletta and Birgu, we took advantage of this in the mornings when taking a morning coffee or pre drinks from the honesty bar which was well stocked with the finest local beers and wines. The continental breakfast was delightful with little specials every morning served up by the wonderful hotel staff who tirelessly work to make your stay as comfortable and hassle free as possible, I was fortunate enough to meet the owner Mr Snop who I found extremely charming which was reflected in the hotels decor and ambience. Senglea itself has a handful of good restaurants along the waterfront and there are numerous water taxis that will take you to Valletta where the restaurants and bars are numerous. We had the best stay at The Snop and on our return we would not hesitate to book again but with an outside space next time.

If you‘re looking for a getaway to explore the three cities, this is the absolute best place for it. Everybody is super helpful to make sure you have the best stay possible, the hotel itself is beautiful with art around every corner and the rooms are spacious with the comfiest beds. And of course there is a rooftop terrace with a fantastic view all the way to Valetta! Big recommendation!
