    Great stay at The 1930's Maltese Residence.

    • Stayed 10 nights

    I have nothing to complain about.

    Our stay was absolutely great. We really enjoyed it. Oliver is a very nice host, he communicated with me in advance, he waited for us until the night hours in the evening, when we arrived from the airport. The next day he took care of us, gave us advice and showed us around. I can only recommend the stay.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    We loved everything about our stay! Oliver provided us with beach towels, water and everything we could need. He also gave us loads of recommendations for the local area, and even let us check out late. Lastly, my friend forgot his phone at the flat and he helped put it into a Bolt to get delivered to us near the airport. Would definitely stay here again!

    N/A

    The location was amazing- you are close to both the bus stop and have a scenic walk to the bay. There is a restaraunt nearby that i would use a guide to gauge whether I was close or not. you become acquainted with the area very quickly. Oliver goes above and beyond with helping you, he even gives advice on your itinerary as sometimes extensive research needs clarification from a local’s perspective! Very warm and personable as well as the humour that shows in the design. He always offers support which was lovely especially for my first time solo travelling! I loved the interior and was in awe, my first time experiencing something so unique. If staying in Room No4, using the little light instead of the main makes it more atmospheric and since you are so close to the bay, not having a balcony was a problem for me as I preferred the spacious room instead. The perfect boutique hotel for my short stay in Malta.

    Oliver is the very best host we could have asked for, great local intel, really helpful and informative and kind! The location of the 1930s Maltese Residence is also perfect - lovely restaurants and coffee places nearby, bus stop right around the corner and the waterfront just a few steps away - and, yet, the room is quiet and peaceful Just perfect!

    One could make suggestions, but bottom line the house and its owner are charming, the location is good, and the room is good value.

    I only experienced my room on the first floor & the lobby but it seemed an interesting old Maltese home in which Oliver has created something between a museum and art gallery. My room was comfortable & quiet.

    Found the space between the end of the bed & bathroom door very narrow, but otherwise, the room was long and had everything

    The authenticity of the decor. All the original features, the building was full of character. The host Oliver, was exceptional, so informative, and helpful and interested in each of his guests. Self service check in was so easy. Location was perfect for us. Quiet, but just a few minutes to main strip. Bus stop around the corner & fabulous restaurant. A large bottle of water was left outside our door on second evening, very nice touch. Thank you Oliver

The residence has genuine character and is an authentic old building. The room was comfortable, had a little balcony and air conditioning, plus a fridge which was useful.
