Hotels near Artisans Centre, Valletta

My google maps review was 5 stars ”I had been in this hotel a few days, the overall experience was very good. All the staff was very friendly, ensured that we got a nice room, the room is big than average hotels and all new. The breakfast is tasty and prepared in the moment. Most probably if I return to Malta will check this hotel again, because was a nice experience”

Stayed for 7 nights in a deluxe room on 10th floor. Check in was easy and very efficient. Room was large with a decent balcony. Bathroom had separate shower and bath. Not very many electric points and no USB charging points. Overall the room was good but in need of modernising. We had an issue with knocking from the water pipes ( not in our room) for our whole stay. Breakfast was plentiful, but limited options for vegetarian and even less for vegan choice. Pool area was great, with lots of loungers and shaded areas. Staffing at the pool bar seemed to be a bit hit or miss, one day 6 staff, the next day 2. Service at the hotel bar was also an issue on a few occaisions, mainly when there were conference groups. The location of the hotel was great, but not for those who would struggle with stairs. Overall great location, but faded granduer and some staffing issues

There were mixed reviews online so we were a little hesitant with what we would find. The hotel rooms are newly renovated - the room ceiling will look unfinished but they all look like that. Bathroom was great, with a double walk in shower - they do have a issue getting the fresh towels back to you each day but a minor niggle and you get used to it. George on reception was wonderful and sorted us out a room before actual check in. Breakfast was great, good choice of hot and continental - there were never enough cups for hot drinks though but a minor thing. The use of the lido across the road was great, we always got a sunbed and enjoyed the swim. Location is EXCELLENT. You are 10/15min walk to the ferry to go to Valetta - we did this most evenings. There are also boats to Gozo and Comino from there. At the bottom of the road you have a variety of bars and restaurants that you can walk along that take you into the town itself. You can carry on walking and get to St Julian's Bay. This hotel was one of the cheapest deals with Jet 2 holidays and did not disappoint. In summary, fantastic staff, excellent location and would highly recommend for anyone staying in Sliema.

This hotel is part of the Accor Group and was a perfect location outside Valletta in the area of Msida. I arranged a transfer to and from the airport to the hotel that dropped and picked me on the corner where the hotel is located. I was welcomed by Laura at reception and offered a welcome drink as a Gold Accor member. I was also introduced to the manager also named Laura and given an overview of the hotel facilities and a map detailing the Malta area. After receiving my studio room key and entering the room it was very large and had a view out to the front street area from the balcony that had a table and two chairs. The room has a large kitchenette area with crockery , cutlery, glasses, saucepans and other cooking utensils. Two electric hot plates and a microwave oven and a small bar fridge with large complimentary bottles of sparkling and still water. Tea and coffee making facilities also in the kitchenette along with a sink for washing dishes and tea towel for drying. Another bench area below the television with two bar stools. Good size television on the wall and plenty of power points including USB charging throughout the room. A separate part of the main room had a two seater lounge and coffee table. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was large with a good shower and plenty of space around the bathroom sink to place items. Shaving mirror and power points. The towels were nice and fluffy and new and there was always plenty of hot water. A laundry room with two coin operated washers and two dryers is on site to do your own laundry if required. There is also a good gym on site. The rooftop pool has views over the surrounding areas and would be good for swimming or relaxing around in spring and summer. Breakfast is also available at the hotel but I did not avail of this. I did have dinner one evening at the recently re-opened bistro 77 (B77) restaurant on site and the meal and service was exceptional. The hotel is within walking distance of the marina area and for good walkers the old city area of Vallettta is about an hour walk away. A bus stop is located just around the corner further up the street that I utilised to go to Valletta one day and then continued on a connecting bus to Medina/Rabat. This hotel is exceptional in both service and facilities and if you don’t want to be right in Valletta but close enough by taxi/bus then this is definitely a good choice.

Perfect stay. Beautiful room, very spacious and had everything we needed. Was more like an apartment with fitted kitchen, small living area etc. was lovely to return to after a busy day, smart tvs so access to Netflix prime Disney etc. rooftop pool was stunning and although small, we always got a sun lounger and parasol. Very relaxing and stylish. We had family in the area so we had access to a car so cannot comment on the immediate area much. Short taxi ride to sliema or Valletta. Use bolt taxi app as cheaper than Uber (about €7) reception staff were lovely and really wanted to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Very secure hotel. Small cafe in road facing hotel had best English breakfast and very friendly service would 100% recommend a visit. There is a bus stop round side of hotel and I believe Bugiba and mellieha bay are reachable from here, or bolt taxi €28 to ferry for blue lagoon comino island. All in all fantastic place at a brilliant price 😊

I will start by saying what a great hotel, a great location and the rooftop pool is a great little area. But the hotel staff are useless, We had paid for our trip in advance and paid for breakfast and upgraded to a room with a balcony and a view. I will note that we had 2 bookings 1 for the first night and a booking for the 3 following nights as we changed our travel plans due to flight costs and had a extra day.on arrival at 4pm ( check in is 3pm, we were told our room wasnt ready and we needed to pay, i told tge guy we had paid and had to get proof that i had, we were also told we hadnt booked breakfast or paid the upgrade again i had to find the proof, eventually all was sorted and we finally got into our room Next day we went down for breakfast and were refused entry as we ”hadnt paid” again we had to wait whilst it was checked, to then be allowed in. Later on that day we recieved a call to the room asking if the room was ok and do we need anything, we asked for a littpe milk for tea and within minutes it arrived, 10 minutes later the phone rang again and it was reception saying that we hadnt paid and if we dont go down straight away and pay it we have to leave. Again i had to go down and sort it.. finally all sorted... till departure, we werevthen told we hadnt paid the city tax, and even tho a trainee receotion lad said to the lady he was there when we paid it, she said if its not on the system we pay.. its only a few euros but its incompetence. The room itself is nice, spacious and comfy beds with a fantastic shower. The roof top pool is a great sun trap too.. Breakfast was nice, and lots of choice with real orange juice A good stay but ruined a bit by staff not doing there jobs

The bistro is very nice and elegant. The good attention at all times from the staff stands out, they are very cordial, helpful and always serve you with a smile on their face. Also in terms of food and drinks compared to other accommodations I visited in the same area, I notice that the level is higher, abundant and well served.

Starting with the information - we stayed at So City as a young couple (who arent particularly into nightclubs/bars) to see Matla for the first time over a week. I have given this a 'benefit-of-the-doubt' rating due to the hotel being incredibly new. We picked So City Hotel because of the value, it was incredibly well priced. I'd imagine this is a strategy due to it being so new but it was certainly well worth the price we paid. On to the hotel as a whole - I feel this is definitely aimed toward capturing people coming to Malta for some night life. Its positioned so that no more than 10 seconds from leaving the lobby, you can be in a bar, and their are some nice bars surrounding. That said, we werent there for that - but this location also meant that finding an evening meal, or a quick early night drink was incredibly easy. Exploring the island was also very easy from here, Valletta was a very short journey, and as we had opted to rent a car, there was a carpark about 5 minutes walk away (Pengardens) which is reasonably priced for over night parking, and we never struggled for a space. The room was very comfortable, and the mattress was perfect and bedding very soft and comfortable. Our upgraded room was also incredibly spacious. The theming is a nice touch and makes the room a bit more characterful and individual. Staying on the 7th floor, there was minimal noise at night, altough id be concerned if we needed to keep the window open.... The black out curtains were also amazing for keep the room dark for a little bit of extra sleep. Constructive criticism for the room would be: The shower tempurture is difficult - the hottest setting is insanely hot (my other half loves hot showers but this was too much for her also) and it wouldnt go cold, just cooler, it also seemed to get colder through out the shower and you found yourself adjusting. There is not a lot of storage at all for longer stays. This is perhaps a by product of it feeling aimed towards 'nightlifers' who might stop 3 nights or so. I would perhaps ask reception for additional hangers if you have plenty of clothes for a longer stay. The mini fridge, altough useful, is not big enough to put larger water bottles in, which can be annoying. The aircon unit is situated in a place which means it blows directly at the bed. I tried to play with the control but there was no way to adjust it that I could find. Im trying to cool the room, not refridgerate myself. The timer on the aircon also didnt seem to work, so setting it the blow for 30 mins whilst i went to sleep just didnt seem to work. The TV is not a full smartTV which is a shame. Just channels and an internet browser, which are never nice to navigate around.... On to other notes: Breakfast is just what you need. Its not an all out buffett where there is everything you could dream of, but there is more than enough and a few items cycle so you can expect a slightly different breakfast each morning. Constructive criticism for bre

Excellent property with great location, extremely clean and comfortable, super friendly staff. Teo was extraordinary! He was a true example of excellent hospitality. He made our trip more exciting in Malta by guiding and giving us tips about the city and the attractions to cover in 72 hours. He made sure that everything was arranged for us accordingly. I couldn't thank him enough for the excellent level of service he had rendered. We will surely visit H Hotel on our next holiday and expect that will recommend your hotel to our family and friends.
