Alexiei's father, Paul, met us when we arrived, talked to us about what to see in Valletta, and made us very welcome. The place was delightful, pleasant, clean, and comfortable. I would absolutely stay there again if I should go back to Valletta. The only glitch was that the wireless Internet, which actually comes from next door, didn't always work well -- I told Paul about that when he met us to see us off, and he said he'd check into it.

We used maltataxionline.com to book a taxi back to the airport at the end, and also had a great experience with that (driver John). We highly recommend them also.
