This is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Malta. The location within Valletta is excellent -- right next to the Upper Barrakka Gardens, one of the most beautiful sights on the island, and a 1-minute walk from the main street in Valletta which has everything you need (grocery store, ATM). It's also a very short and walkable distance from the other main sights in Valletta (St. John's Cathedral, the Royal Palace).

Robert is a wonderful host -- very welcoming (even when we arrived after midnight), and willing to help with any part of our stay. He had a loaf of bread and beverages ready in the fridge (bottled water, espresso, wine, beer), which was great for breakfast the first day. He also lives in one of the suites in the building, so is very close and accessible for any questions you might have.

The car service he recommended (David) was very good -- actually cheaper than a lot of the cabs who usually drive tourists, and quite helpful as the bus system can make it hard to fit a lot of sights into one day (many stops only have one bus per hour, and they don't always come on time).

Lastly, the photos provide an accurate depiction of the two rooms. We loved the frescoed ceilings, which were quite elegant -- but also great modern touches, like A/C in both rooms.

We'd recommend this to any of our friends or family planning to visit Malta.
