Despite reading mixed reviews online, was pleasantly surprised. Location is in quiet area and very central to everything in Valetta, including spar groceries. Room 6 is spacious, with comfortable bedding. Upon arrival, they provided water bottle & local sweet and savoury biscuits which was lovely. Aircon, mini bar fridge, tv all in working order. As per online reviews, the shower base edging is too shallow and indeed does not keep water in when showering, so the floor does get very wet. Bring your flip-flops to avoid slipping! Towels provided were a bit stained/dirty too.
Didn't have any concerns with bad odour/smell in room. The only minor issue I had was with the room door handle and lock - it wasn't screwed in so if you're not careful the handle it may fall out in your hands. This also made it difficult to lock/unlock room. I texted the owner about this safety issue, but never got any response. Was able to leave luggage for a few hours on departure day at a nearby hotel. Overall, I'd recommend staying here.
