Valletta Lucente

El hotel tiene cuidado hasta el último detalle, exquisita decoración. El matrimonio que lo regenta es encantador y unos anfitriones excelentes. Cada día nos dejaban un detalle en la habitación y el último día un regalo para llevarnos: una mermelada preparada por ellos mismos. El desayuno de 10. En la habitación wiffi individual y para hacerte cafés y tés. Mejor imposible. Todo tal cual las fotos. Volveremos.

We had a fabulous time in Valletta and being in the centre was a big plus. The room we stayed in was brilliant. Very old building with many intersting designs - certainly nothing like the big chain hotels. And the view from the terrace at the top cant be beaten. The owners were brilliant, friendly and always willing to help. I cant recommend this guest house more - it was perfevt for us.

We like everyting, owners, staff, breakfast, room decor, location.

Wow, is all I can say. Perfect location, excellent service, and the rooms were amazing. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Valletta.

This hotel could be amazing.  There are a few major issues.  The location is great.  The rooms are beautiful.  The bedding and towels are 5 star.  The problems...breakfast was terrible.  Very little hot water.  And why no bathroom doors?!  We stayed in two different rooms (more on that later), and neither had a bathroom door.  We are a loving couple, but a couple who like some level of privacy.   We stayed in the top floor room, which is three levels.  The first floor is the toilet, and sinks.  Spiral staircase up to an outdoor patio (huge and beautiful, even with no view).  Another round of spiral staircase to the bedroom.  The shower is in the bedroom.  Up the spiral staircase again to the huge top floor patio, with a stupendous view of the water.  Amazing.  The shower featured two rain-shower heads.  Which would have been wonderful, but there isn't enough hot water for one person to take a shower, let alone two.  There are no nightlights, so if you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you risk life and limb or you have to turn on the lights.  On our second night the mosquitoes came.  We have traveled around the world, and mosquitoes can be an issue in many places.  But we must have killed about 30.  No sleep what so ever.  We checked the windows and the doors and couldn't figure out where they were coming from.  Finally, at about 6am we found a window, hidden behind a plant on the stairway.  No window pane.  Just an open window.  We got no sleep and request

We splurged and stayed in one of the top suites with a roof deck. Actually, we had TWO roof decks! Very nice location and nice views. But be careful, there is a narrow spiral staircase that may be scary for older guests inside the room that you'll need to navigate to get to bedroom area.

My friend and I had a lovely stay at Valletta Lucente. The view from our balcony was amazing, breakfast was such a great spread, and the staff was so kind and always happy to answer our questions. We'd be very happy to return someday!

Have enabled the feel of Malta wirh superbly, friendly and charming character of this 400 year old buildong. The staff are great, very helpful with the convenience of staying in the heart of Valenta. A 5 rating from me and would definitively recommend Lucente as a place of choice.

Fantastic location and central. Great hotel, lovely room. The selection at breakfast would be my only gripe. Some pastries would have been good!

This is more than a hotel. It’s a 450 year old palazzio with every room redone in a unique and fabulous way filled with antiques but modern and chic at the same time. The owner, Charlie, and receptionist, Sunita, are charming and welcoming. The hotel is on a quiet pedestrian street. Write to Charlie and he will arrange pick-up at the airport (€20). We left before breakfast but Sunita left us a wonderful selection of her home made pastries and several pieces of fruit. Valletta is so beautiful and so easily walkable. This is the perfect lodging. One last note: Charlie has a shop in the lobby where he sells unique and one of a kind pottery hand painted by his 23 artists. You’ll definitely want to check that out. We purchased a fabulous piece and we’re lucky enough to meet the artist. Don’t miss this place. We were treated to a tour of several rooms. Spring for the penthouse with its outdoor patio and views of the Grand Harbor!
