Extras like balconies or terraces, occasional private hot tubs, and a modern building with an elevator add convenience. Drawbacks mentioned include being outside the main tourist areas, limited or unmanned reception at times, and noise in some rooms from traffic or church bells, alongside occasional maintenance or linen issues. It suits travelers who want a practical base with easy transport links.

Really nice place to stay. Excellent apartments with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge in the room. A small balcony was attached to my room. Excellent shower with good water flow. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked very nice. Not much in the surrounding areas so you generally had to get a bus to see things. There are several bus stops within a 10 minute walk of the building. 4 or 7 day travel cards can be bought at the airport and are really good value. There is a combination lock on the front door, one of the numbers is a bit “sticky” and you have to hold it until it registers.

The room was very clean and the amenities cannot be beat! Full kitchenette and washer/dryer. 30 minute walk/hike to downtown Valletta. One note for people who like to sleep in. Church bells go off around 8am every morning. Beautiful and musical, but hard to sleep through

This guesthouse is very new, modern, clean and comfortable. My room is on the top floor, bright and spacious with breeze balcony The location is good too, quiet, two streets away from main road but a major bus stop Pieta just 7min walk, easy access to all major attractions by public transport bus. It has kitchenette, everything needed- microwave, cooktop oven, but I didn’t cook at all. And there is washing machine. Be careful to use 5kg wash and dry. It can be very hot to ruin your clothes. Bathroom is breeze, functional. Staff are very friendly, and responsive. My room wasn’t ready but Rodianne is very apologetic, offered me a good cup of espresso. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay here.

Situé à l’écart de l’agitation des quartiers touristiques ou animés, le Central Guest House offre une atmosphère paisible, idéale pour se ressourcer après une journée d’exploration. Son emplacement, à mi-chemin entre les différents points stratégiques de l'île est particulièrement pratique pour les voyageurs motorisés. Bien que l’hôtel ne dispose pas de parking privé, il est très facile de stationner dans la rue. Les points de départ des excursions (La Valette, Gozo, les Trois Cités, Comino, etc.) se trouvent à proximité de la Smida Yacht Marina, accessible en 10 à 15 minutes à pied. Enfin, la présence d’un supermarché Lidl à seulement 1,5 km s’avère très pratique pour les courses du quotidien La chambre avec deux lits simples est spacieuse et parfaitement équipée. Parmi les commodités appréciables, on trouve le Wi-Fi, un lave-linge/sèche-linge, un lave-vaisselle, un four, un micro-ondes, des plaques de cuisson et une télévision. La terrasse est un véritable atout : elle offre une vue imprenable sur les quartiers historiques et permet d’admirer des couchers de soleil magiques chaque soir. Le jacuzzi, quant à lui, est la cerise sur le gâteau, parfait pour se détendre et profiter pleinement du séjour. Les petits-déjeuners de style britannique sont copieux et savoureux. À noter cependant : le service ne commence qu’à 7h30, ce qui peut être un peu tardif pour les excursions matinales, notamment vers Gozo. Par ailleurs, la réception n'est ouverte que jusqu'à 16h, un détail à p

New apartment style hotel rooms with everything you need including washer/dryer in the room. Convenient to several bus stops and covenience stores. Less than a mile from Valletta if you want to walk instead of taking the bus. Very helpful staff. I extendended my stay from 7 nights to 12 since I was so happy here.

Very new building and modern apartments with elevator. Clean. Beds and chairs comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. Washing machine as well. The street is quiet. Shopping and coffee around the corner. 400 meters to the bus stop to all directions. 2.4 km to Valletta and bus terminal or pleasurable walk. Above of all the hosts are trying to make your staying enjoyable.

Renovated, clean, cold with friendly owners! Only weird part was the single room bathroom with shower that flooded the entire bathroom floor. Other than that, it was super convenient to Valletta and the airport and very affordable. Owner met us on site and walked us to our room. I would stay here again.

The good: The people working there were excellent and would do anything you asked of them. Washing machine was amazing g to have in my room. The bad: Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The sheets were really old and pilled and need to be thrown away. The pillows were the same way and need to be replaced. Booked an airport transfer through their link and was scammed out of $40. This isn’t really the best area in Malta and I wish I had stayed in a more touristy area where there are restaurants and shops. Buses were always late or didn’t show up and were always packed full of people.

I liked the flexibility of self-catering, deciding when and what I could eat. What I disliked was the high level of traffic noise in the street outside. This generally started around 6.00 in the morning during weekday, and continued for about an hour or so. I would suggest a higher level of sound proofing.

Chambre petite, pas d’extérieur, une machine à laver /sechante, c’est bien mais rien pour étendre (tout ne passe pas à la séchante. Nous aurions bien aimé avoir un petit réfrigérateur ça nous a vraiment manqué. Si vous ne louer pas de véhicules pour vous déplacer sur l’île, je vous déconseille fortement cette établissement, sinon louer une chambre avec plus d’équipements et un extérieur.

Really nice place to stay. Excellent apartments with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge in the room. A small balcony was attached to my room. Excellent shower with good water flow. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked very nice. Not much in the surrounding areas so you generally had to get a bus to see things. There are several bus stops within a 10 minute walk of the building. 4 or 7 day travel cards can be bought at the airport and are really good value. There is a combination lock on the front door, one of the numbers is a bit “sticky” and you have to hold it until it registers.

The room was very clean and the amenities cannot be beat! Full kitchenette and washer/dryer. 30 minute walk/hike to downtown Valletta. One note for people who like to sleep in. Church bells go off around 8am every morning. Beautiful and musical, but hard to sleep through

Nice guesthouse on a quiet neighborhood street. We walked about 15 minutes (downhill) to catch the Sicily ferry at 6:30 in the morning. There is a small, serviceable cafe for breakfast or quick lunch, a convenience store , a beautiful produce vendor, and a pharmacy within a short walk.

New apartment style hotel rooms with everything you need including washer/dryer in the room. Convenient to several bus stops and covenience stores. Less than a mile from Valletta if you want to walk instead of taking the bus. Very helpful staff. I extendended my stay from 7 nights to 12 since I was so happy here.

What a lovely hotel. The location is central but quiet. The room is modern, spacious and includes a kitchen (with dishwasher!) and a washing machine. Breakfast was included and the food was good and a lot. The staff are very pleasant.

Dining
Breakfast and the on-site cafe are often described as tasty and freshly cooked. A few guests experienced slow service or a 7:30 start that can be late for early outings, though packed breakfasts were prepared on request.

El alojamiento muy completo y cómodo dispone de cocina e incluso lavadora, como solo fuimos dos días no utilizamos nada, pero es bueno disponer de ello, la primera noche tuvimos que dormir con unas almohadas muy duras y grandes, no había nadie en recepción para cambiarlas, al día siguiente lo comentemos y nos las cambianron enseguida, el último día teníamos el vuelo muy temprano y. O podíamos desayunar en el hotel, lo dijimos y nos preparanron un picnic para que desayunáramos en el aeropuerto, muy atentos todo el personal

A great place for a weekend getaway. Breakfast took over an hour - consider a buffet for people to come and go. We were three and the sofa was not a fold out. Other than that they had great amenities.

Situé à l’écart de l’agitation des quartiers touristiques ou animés, le Central Guest House offre une atmosphère paisible, idéale pour se ressourcer après une journée d’exploration. Son emplacement, à mi-chemin entre les différents points stratégiques de l'île est particulièrement pratique pour les voyageurs motorisés. Bien que l’hôtel ne dispose pas de parking privé, il est très facile de stationner dans la rue. Les points de départ des excursions (La Valette, Gozo, les Trois Cités, Comino, etc.) se trouvent à proximité de la Smida Yacht Marina, accessible en 10 à 15 minutes à pied. Enfin, la présence d’un supermarché Lidl à seulement 1,5 km s’avère très pratique pour les courses du quotidien La chambre avec deux lits simples est spacieuse et parfaitement équipée. Parmi les commodités appréciables, on trouve le Wi-Fi, un lave-linge/sèche-linge, un lave-vaisselle, un four, un micro-ondes, des plaques de cuisson et une télévision. La terrasse est un véritable atout : elle offre une vue imprenable sur les quartiers historiques et permet d’admirer des couchers de soleil magiques chaque soir. Le jacuzzi, quant à lui, est la cerise sur le gâteau, parfait pour se détendre et profiter pleinement du séjour. Les petits-déjeuners de style britannique sont copieux et savoureux. À noter cependant : le service ne commence qu’à 7h30, ce qui peut être un peu tardif pour les excursions matinales, notamment vers Gozo.

A frequent business traveller to Malta, the Central Guesthouse was a great find. Great value, excellent accommodation and very good breakfast, which was included in the rate. Also a decent location, short taxi rides into Valletta, Gzira, Sliema and beyond. Would highly recommend.

We’ve just got back from a 10 night stay in the penthouse apartment. Excellent modern and clean facilities with a beautiful rooftop view of the surrounding area and Valetta. The hot tub was a great way to relax in the evenings after days of site seeing. Good location on a quiet street only 5 minutes walk from a bus stop, 15 minutes to the waterfront and about 35 into Valetta. Only slight criticism would be to provide a little more cutlery and a couple of extra bowls, glasses, cups etc. - the apartment is for 2 and that’s what you get of everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place and would certainly return.
