Valletta Spacious Duplex - St.Paul's Apartments

We had a wonderful stay in Valletta, and one of the advantages of staying here was the near proximity to the bus stop , the Grand Harbor and several restaurants. Our host was most helpful and generous. In just a short walk we were in the Upper Gardens with in credible views. I have already recommended these accommodations to other family members. Thank you!!

Loved our stay at St Paul’s Apartments in Merchant St Valletta. Perfect spot near shops, restaurants and the Lower Barrack Gardens Cafe just metres up the road was an afternoon staple for watching the sunset. Beach towels provided were welcome and Rachel (host) was helpful with our awkward Easy Jet arrival and departure times.

The building is in a very convenient position and both units (independent of each other) were very clean. It must be noted, though, that the larger unit is underground, and neither have access to natural light: all windows of both flats overlook an air well, where the engines of all air conditioners in the building are positioned. The lower flat smelled like mould on arrival, and only intensive use of the two dehumidifiers provided improved the situation (but they're so noisy that one can only switch them on when going out). Our request to be moved to a different accommodation was turned down. While I accept that every effort was made by the property to mitigate the humidity problem, it must be said that the photos do not reflect the real situation. Calling "Patio / Garden" the bottom of an air well is very misleading, and guests should be made aware that neither flat has access to sunlight.

The communication with the property manager was horrible and they did not give us the full address of the property. We spent over 2 hours looking for the place. Tried to contact the property manager for help and she did not respond and when I tried to call the phone was off. We actually thought we were scammed. Finally got back to us a few days later just before we were leaving. I have never experienced anything like this. We are just lucky that we finally found the place. The place was in a great location and was clean, however, there was a slight smell and it was damp. All my clothes felt slightly wet.

Stayed over new year. Good location. Great help with transport to and from airport. Lovely apartment split rooming suited us well as one couple and two friends.
