Reviews of Harbour Lodge

Big and comfortable room.

Breakfast.

Location is good

Breakfast wasn't good. Dried pastries, burn out sausages.

Location

Very bad unpleasant smell in the room ,very dirty bathroom and the balcony was dirty as well . Very hard pillows ,I couldn’t use them to sleep

Nice and helpful staff, very good location, the room is big enough, cleaning every day, noiseless room.

The renovation of the room and bathroom is considerably. Wifi is useless in our room due to the distance of the router.

Excellent location round the corner from bus stop , buses 81 & 85 to valletta

If the hotel said Arznell is closest to accommodate that would be perfect , instead of being told use google maps ! And really clean but kept forgetting to refill tea and milk

Great location for the sea front and bus route, staff were really friendly and very helpful. Airport transfers were a huge plus. I haven’t got any photos of the property (we had a 36hr stay)! As soon as there are cheap flights again, we will be back 💕🇲🇹☀️

The property, ‘did what it said on the tin’. It was functional and more than acceptable budget accommodation. Didn’t appreciate our neighbours complaining about noise levels when we had a film on at 1030pm….. my partner was sleeping too, so volume was on 6 or 8 …. Not exceptionally loud. I can only think that tv was in alcove trapping sound & their bed was against that wall.

Rude unhelping staff that raised voice when asked if I could have some warm food, when i am pregnant and was offered breakfast with accommodation. Was rudely spoken back too and phone with manager shuvved in my face when didnt do anything to warrant that sort of attitude and behaviour towards a customer. Served cold coffees, cold food left on side with flies all over. filthy and broken conditions, such as elevator which needed as pregnant and disabled, at times shuddered, loud banging when inside, stopped at different floor than pressed, very scary. Broken/dirty plates and cutlery, cracks in walls and foundation, mould in places, dirty/stained towels, stained and hairs on bedding, unclean floors, if you shut the balcony slide door you were locked out as no handles, dangerous plugs and sockets right next to kettle and dangerous works being done right outside property. Single bedrame on double mattress and cracked and leaking showers. Didn't stay last night paid. Was ignored about concerned and not refunded for wasted stay and bad conditions.

Breakfast was lovely, staff very helpful, went out of their way to help. I didn't request a quiet room when booking, not sure where you got that from.

It was really quiet and peaceful, we had a really good night sleep. The beds were quite comfortable and the place was rather clean. Breakfast was ok. Overall the place would be ok for a couple of nights.

The room and the hotel wasn't bad, although it was old and a bit shabby. The place really needs some renovation. The view from the room was quite disappointing too.

Clean, comfortable, helpful staff, good location near bus stop and the port

Better breakfast, a choice of coffee, better wifi in the room where the reception was minimal

Extremely close to harbour, walking distance, breakfast was good.

Parking, but that can't be helped.

Thank you for the kind treatment, the free airport transfer and the breakfast. Stay healthy! We wish you success!

The only thing that was quite positive was the shuttle service from the airport. I recommend, however, to wash the car before the service

Practically nothing, no customer care, dirty room, bathroom in terrible condition. The shower very dirty, and the sink really very small and poorly maintained Terrible breakfast made with poor quality food. In general a poorly maintained and poorly managed structure.

Perfect location, nice staff

The location was great! Only a short walk to harbour. Patrick was lovely at check in. Quite a nice view from balcony

Shower wouldn’t stay upwards. It seemed to be broken in our room.

At first I thought that the location was horrible because it was in the middle of a construction zone and the taxi couldn't even find a way to get there. But much of that sorted itself out while I was there once the roads were repaved. The lodge is just a few minutes walk from the fishing harbor, which is why most people go to Marsaxlokk to begin with. There are several good restaurants along the harbor. If you are planning to use Marsaxlokk as a base for visiting Valletta, as I was, it is not a good location. Too much time is spent on buses going back and forth, a journey that can take up to two hours depending upon what is happening traffic-wise in Valletta. Valletta is a wonderful city, so if that is your destination, do yourself a favor and stay there.

At first I was disappointed with the breakfast due to the absence of eggs but, in retrospect, after 12 days of protein deprivation in Italy, the breakfast at the Harbour Lodge was pretty good. My primary complaint is the tiny sink and the very claustrophobic shower in the bathroom. The sink was the smallest I've ever seen, making it impossible to keep the bathroom floor dry.

The listing states “parking available , no reservations needed!” Arrived told parking full at 1500 hrs and to park in the street—/ it’s a restaurant strip no parking for about 1 km. The angry unhelpful person on the phone put us off staying. They ripped us off for the no cancelation 100%. FALSE ADVERTISING ON BOOKING-com.

Great location. Friendly and comfortable

Hospitable staff made our stay great
