Reviews of Chateau La Vallette - Barrakka Suite

Perfect location ,beautiful apartment

Awful smell, water everywhere at the floor,low light and little dirty

Good location.

The property was situated in a very good location, and has excellent facilities- washing machine, kitchen, and TV with Netflix.

The tendency for the lights to go off— electricity supply should be constant, and the noise level is sometimes high if staying in room 1.

The location was spectacular- close to lots of restaurants, bars, and things to do. Also, the communication from the hosts was great - they sent several messages with instructions that made things easy.

The description and images were a bit deceptive; I had a basic room and bathroom, but the kitchen and dining area was shared with the other suites - not what I expected. Also, there wasn't much soundproofing, so every time people came in or left through the front door it was loud in my room - conversations, steps, the door hitting the wall, etc.

Excellent location, in the center of Valetta.

Room was on ground floor, slight musty smell due to humidity.

It was very clean, very pretty (even better in person than in pictures). The common area was great too. My friend and me are both super satisfied with our stay. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and responsive!

The location is great, very close to the centre of Valletta. It has everything you need, including a communal kitchen and a small outside space with a drying rack.

We were in Room 1. The room was nice, but it was quite damp. In fact the humidity was so high that nothing would dry. Towels didn't dry. Even dry clothes would get damp over time. My girlfriend's hair wasn't very fond of it either. The room would benefit of better ventilation. I hope they can fix this, then it would be perfect.

Great location and spacy, lovely room!

Room was on ground floor and the shower and toilet a few steps below. There was a very strong moldy odour and humidity throughout our stay. We had to keep the windows open while in the room to keep our clothes from being damp.

The location is situated in city centre. The kitchen was in good condition, equipped with all the necessary stuff to eat or to cook.

We are very disappointed. We have stayed in room no. 1, at the ground floor. In the room was present mold smell and a lot of humidity. Regarding the mold smell, we cannot leave the room with windows open for safety reasons (the window is at the chest level of the tourist that are walking on the street). The humidity impregnated our clothes that felt somekind wet. I guess the problem is due to the bathroom that is somehow under the room level (more like a basement). We are also sad because the host haven't warned us for the continuous pickhamer noise from the building across the street that is currently consolidating. For this reason, starting from 08:00 in the morning, there was an insane noise level. I guess the host knew about this problem but preferred not to warn us and take-the-money no matter how. Although we asked for another room, the property was unable to find a solution or to give us a discount. Maybe the other rooms in the residence are ok, we don't know. Also, on the common spaces, that smell wasn't present. All the things mentioned above can be proven with pictures and audio files.

Location is a short walk from the main square with good restaurants steps away. Host was responsive, quick, and willing to work with us on a delayed check out and storing our luggage. AC worked amazing. Apartment was clean and felt safe.

The first floor apartment is a little loud being right on the road.

Excellent location near to all places

- The location of the place is quite good - There is enough space to move around a stow away your luggage

- The bathroom on the ground floor smelled bad, like really musty. We guess it was from the floor drain. Unfortunately the host was not very helpful in this situation and dismissed our concern with "the ones before did not complain". We asked if an other room is available, which unfortunately wasn't. So he offered a refund for the remaining stay but that probably would have meant we would have to leave the room immidiately and find something else. That is not possible on such short notice. So his suggestion was to just let air into the room and everything will be fine. Well, there are some problems to that: ~ The source of the smell would still be there ~ The bathroom itself has no window. So you need to open the window in the main room and let the bathroom door open. Which then again would let the bad smell into the room ~ But the room was on the groundfloor and if the windows are opened everyone could gaze in. And also then it is not really an option to let the windows open and go visit the island, for anyone from the outside could climb in. ~ The very weak ventilator in the bathroom is only on when the lights are turned on but the electricity of the room is only available when the key is in the card-holder at the door. So you can not keep it running while your away. - The room is not soundproof. The room's entrance is right next to the main entrance, so you hear the door buzzing, people talking, people going up the stairs, the water in the sewage pipes, etc. - The bed is a bit small.

We liked the apartment ad the location. Everything was clean, nice and had all the needed equipment.

There was a lot of humid in the room and especially the bathroom (it doesn't have the window) so the towels couldn't dry.

Wonderful location in old town Valletta. Very clean, comfortable bed and plenty of hot water. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Absolutely recommend and we hope to return some day.

Nothing to dislike, totally exceeded our expectations
