The hotel is situated right in the heart of Valletta, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and immersing in the local culture. The rooms are spacious, and I loved the warm, cozy decor that added to the ambiance. However, the breakfast process could be a bit tedious as it's located off-site, and the options were somewhat limited. On another note, there was some noise from the adjacent bars, so lighter sleepers might want to consider that when choosing a room.
