It is clear that there was a lot of love and attention to detail put into The Orchid. It has a very luxurious feel from the beautiful logo that is displayed on towels, glass railings, bathroom amenities... etc, to the rich colors of the walls and tiles and the cohesiveness of the decor. It is also a very comfortable accommodation. The bed is a dream. The shower too. The kitchen is well equipped and we used it to make a few breakfasts and dinners with items purchased from the corner shop down the street. I appreciated that there were good pots, pans and cooking utensils. Sharon provided us with delicious breakfast foods enough for our 5 day stay. She is a wonderful host in every way - kind, patient and helpful. She even offered recommendations for the location of our next accommodations! If you are on the fence about the location, don’t be! It is wonderful. I’m currently in Valletta wishing I were back in Rabat! The Orchid is a very short walk to beautiful M’dina and St. Paul’s Catacombs (both a must-see), and is close to San Pawl street (St. Paul), which has a slew of restaurants including Crystal Palace (Is-Serkin), which is famous for it’s Pastizzi and they are the best! At the end of San Pawl is The Roman Villa (which is worth a visit) and out front of that is where you can catch the Malta Fun Train tour of Rabat and it is well worth the 6€ ticket. There are so many amazing things to do but The Orchid is also a great place for relaxing as well. My husband and I hope to one day return!
