+Strategic location, spacious rooms, well-equipped,including a water dispenser with a jug of mineral water. Maria, the owner, is very friendly and quick to provide solutions if any issues arise. You can also leave your luggage there after checking out...and I was able to change my room. As it happened, I had booked two separate stays, and while the Booking.com details suggested the room types were the same, they actually turned out to be different. I asked if I could avoid moving, and fortunately, it was possible,they accommodated my request, so I didn’t have to go through the check-out and check-in process again. This was a very helpful solution.
−At check-in, they forgot to prepare my room key, so I had to make a call and coordinate to be able to enter my room. Fortunately, a solution was found,I was able to check in promptly, and the key card was handed to me a short while later...but hopefully they can prepare more properly

“Historic, characterful, and charming stay in the heart of old Valletta”
+Located in a beautiful, historic building in the centre of old Valetta, we were perfectly situated. It was so much more than a hotel room, with its kitchen/living area adjacent to the bedroom/shower room. The stone walls, and high ceilings, together with air conditioning kept it cool, and feeling like a wonderful retreat from the heat. The breakfast was delicious, and Maria on front of house was charming. Thanks for a great stay.

“Nice apartment in a historic building in the centre of Valletta with good breakfast.”
+Old building with a historic feeling. Has elevator. Our room was nice with a separate kitchen/dining area. Access to the bathroom was via a very small door but it caused us no difficulty. Breakfast was in the cellar and we got freshly cooked scrambled eggs with bacon plus there were the usual jams, ham and cheese, etc. The cellar also has a 'relax' room for having a conversation, leaning back in an armchair, etc The accommodation is in the central area of Valletta and this is actually a street that cars can use so arriving by taxi was not a problem, in fact it takes about 20 minutes to get there from the airport. From the guesthouse, we could walk to the main pedestrian street and dining /pub area in a couple of minutes. As far as we could tell, air-conditioning only works when the card key is placed in the holder on the wall as otherwise electricity for the room is cut. This could be a problem in the summer but on the other hand the machine was quite big so can probably chill the room in minutes. We visited in the second half of October so didn't need it.
−The terrace was advertised as with a sea view which wasn't the case but we didn't need it as stayed only for one night. There is one more thing which is not the fault of the property but it may be worth to note by visitors that we got some mosquitos visitng our room as we left the balcony door open for the night, even in late October.

“Quirky accommodation in a historic building”
+The location of the property is excellent and the view from the roof terrace is amazing. The bedroom area felt clean . Both times we contacted the owner , our query was dealt with efficiently .
−We negotiated the dark hallway of what felt like a museum to the stone spiralling stairs . As we had cases and the stairs were well worn in places we decided to ride by lift …… we are two slight 60 year olds with 2 hand luggage cases ….. imagine our alarm as we entered the lift and it dropped a few inches! The door closed and we went on our way with a flickering digital display …. We reached our floor but we did not risk the lift again during our stay. The kitchen area was out-dated and far from clean with corroded aluminium , a greasy over- hob extracter and grease deposited on decorative plates on the wall . It was also Ill- equiped - no pan had a fitting lid , there were no oven gloves or a tea towel . The sofa in the kitchen area faced a brick wall - we were excited to locate a couple of windows behind blinds but these looked onto breeze block walls, sadly The bedroom area was better - it felt clean and bright . The bed was a bit soft and creaky but we slept okay . Sadly, the air con had broken flaps so you could not direct the air flow nor alter the fan speed . The bathroom relied on a window with no insect net for ventilation . The shower door did not fit, which resulted in a

“Beatiful hotel with friendly staff. ✨ rooftop ✨”
+Paulos Valletta is one of the best hotels we ever been, and we were lucky to be in quite a number up to this point. The location is fantastic, just a minute or so from the center of beautiful Valletta. The hotel itself is more like a baroque palace than just a hotel. The rooms were fantastic. (Booked two, one for us, one for relatives) Decorated lavishly to fit perfectly the historical setting without feeling over the top. The roof terrace was one of the highlights of the hotel granting a spectacular view onto Valletta's Grand Harbor. The breakfast was tasty, diverse and nutritious. Everyone could find what they were looking for. But all this would be just great, but the lovely Maria and the friendly and helpful staff is what elevates the experience to PERFECT level all with capitals. Thank you Maria and the staff for all the help, friendliness and support. We strongly encourage everyone to book Paulos Valletta to experience true Maltese hospitality and be near to the vibrant heart of Valletta. Thank you.

“Authentic, welcoming, personable…..would definitely book again.”
+Staff were amazing, we got there earlier than check-in and we left luggage to explore - really safe and no issues at all. Excellent communication throughout. Very traditional and in keeping with the area, which made the experience more authentic and personal. The roof top had amazing views.
−Only small point, no iron in room.
