    The host and his family were very nice and helpful. They provided us with a lot of information about Malta and were exceptionally welcoming. The location is very central in Rabat.

    A beautiful, classic, modern guesthouse. Right in the middle of Rabat. Beautiful

    No tea or coffee available in the room and no complimentary water. So not much I didn’t like. Oh and my Google Maps didn’t show me exactly where it was and I passed it by. It’s just set back a bit off the little road and has a big Red Door. I only remembered I had passed it when I went back to my booking and looked at the pictures. There I saw a picture of the door and realised I had passed it.

    The guesthouse is in a renovated old building. it is just beautiful and reflects the local architecture. it’s a beautiful cool room with a modern set up and modern shower. The owner is very helpful and helped me navigate the bus system. He let me keep my bags there before check in close to the bus from Roman Villa, in walking distance. And walking distance to St Paul’s and the Catacombs and nice little restaurants.

    Disappointing with regard to the room.

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom

    Room size, very small or at least made small by very large pieces of furniture which we thought unnecessary. As a result we had to step sideways between the wardrobe and the bed. The shower room was accessed by 2 steps which were enormous, I'm guessing about 30cms deep. As older people with arthritic problems we struggled, a hand rail on the wall is definitely required. The bed cover was stained, though the sheets and pillow cases were spotless and of good quality. A few soft chairs in the lobby would help guests relax, we found ourselves staying out as there was no where to sit in the room other than on the bed.

    Location was excellent, nice historic old house. Owner was good at communications before and during our stay. Bed was comfortable and the house was quiet overnight. Despite the age of property there is a small lift to all floors.

    An amazing place with potential for further improvement.

    Despite the hotel's strong points, there are significant areas for improvement. The bathroom design is impractical, as the toilet is positioned directly within the shower area and it almost unusable. This is highly inconvenient and needs to be rectified. The shower itself is unsafe due to dangerously hot water coming out unexpectedly. (the waring on wall dosent help, this needs to be fixed) The shower curtain and drainage are also subpar. The breakfast, priced at 13 euros and advertised as 'intercontinental,' was disappointing. It consisted mainly of low-quality cold cuts, fruits, and cheap cheese. The coffee was instant, and the orange juice was not fresh. There were no vegetables or eggs, and the owner's offer to provide more if requested is insufficient for a hotel of this caliber. The hotel's lighting is another issue. The cold light fixtures do not match the ambiance and should be replaced with warmer options. The owner needs to enhance their hospitality skills and improve communication to better represent the desired level of service. A more feminine touch might also be beneficial. It's puzzling why this hotel, with its potential, is underutilized, especially during peak season. My intention is constructive criticism. I believe this hotel has the potential to be exceptional and requires minimal adjustments to reach its full potential

    The hotel’s location was fantastic, and the private balcony offered breathtaking views of Rabat. We were lucky enough to stay in the best room, and thoroughly enjoyed our seven-night stay. The hotel’s design and atmosphere were wonderful. It felt like a personal retreat meticulously crafted by the owner. It's truly a hidden gem for couples seeking a romantic getaway.

    There was no breakfast included . "The Hidden Gem" is an accurate name in that it was really difficult to find; even businesses located 50 metres away were unaware if its existence. The telephone system/answering service was unfortunately out of order whilst I was there. The top floor room is accessed only by a small lift.

    A remarkable little hotel but there was no breakfast -see below- good cafes nearby, however. The name and location is both a bonus in terms of a discreet secluded location near to the famous St Pauls Church but also difficult to find. The top floor room has an excellent private roof terrace. Patrick, the owner, was really helpful, when there.
