A gem in the heart of Valetta

Great location in the heart of Valetta city. Superb place for a AW city break. The Saint John is a lovely welcoming hotel and good value. Friendly staff, clean. Everything was within walking distance. Valetta is amazing. The history is so interesting. Every corner you turn there is something else to see. Restaurants great. Would definitely return to this hotel. Would recommend a room at back as our room looked out to the front, and bars /restaurants can be noisy quite late at night. A great find in Valetta.

Valetta Little Gem

We were very happy with our 10-day stay at this hotel. Reception staff were very helpful, polite, efficient and knowledgeable about the area. The restaurant staff at AX Rosselli where we got our daily breakfast, were polite, very helpful, friendly & efficient. The standard of their service met the Five Stars Hotel service. We like having our breakfast on the outdoor/street terrance despite slight busy with morning delivery traffic but also had a choice of indoor area & courtyard. Continental Breakfast were plentiful with choice of cooked eggs.
Our "Superior room" was at the front and on the top floor. It was spacious with adequate storage space with daily spotless cleaning. We had two balconies but are not suitable to relax with a drink or a cup of coffee at the end of the busy day or morning. The room can be noisy at night due to few bars with musical 'live' bands and stopped by Midnight.
We had a pit stop at the AX Roselli's Roof top Cocktails bar with lovely views over the bay. We love the hotel location within walking distance to major tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, bus and ferry terminals hence was the reason to choose this hotel for our first visit to Malta, enjoying Malta'sValletta historical buildings, culture, ambienct and vibes. We will stay here again.

Fantastic hotel

Fantastic hotel in a great location. The room was spacious enough, very clean, and had a comfy bed. The staff were kind, friendly, and very helpful at check-in. We would definitely encourage others to make use of the facilities at the sister hotel where you check-in - there’s a rooftop bar and plunge pool. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic holiday

Lovely small boutique hôtel, ideally situated in the centre of Valletta. Stayed in a comfort room which was very quiet and well air conditioned - essential as the temperature was over 40 on several days. Breakfast was served either inside the sister hotel a few yards down the road or outside - great for people watching! Staff were all brilliant - Katho, Craig and everyone else whose names I don't recall. Would definitely return and highly recommend to anyone visiting Malta.
