Mariella is an exceptional and lovely host. She went above and beyond to make my stay smooth and fabulous. I enjoyed staying here and will go back again in a heartbeat when I’m next in Malta. The location is beyond incredible, with beautiful views, easy and immediate access to transportation (both local buses and tour bus routes), and great food options just steps from the door. Vendors and one of the route stops for the Hop On/Hop Off tour buses are almost directly outside the building; as Mariella told me, this is a very efficient and cost-effective way to see a lot of the island in a short period of time. It’s a 10-15 minute walk along the bay to the ferry to Valletta, which is less than €3 round trip (day service) and takes barely fifteen minutes. Gzira is an upbeat, clean neighborhood and I’m glad I chose to stay here.
