Old Mint No1

If you are after a break in Valletta look no further. Two excellent bedrooms, very comfortable beds. The whole place was squeaky clean. You will be three minutes walk from the heart of Valletta with all its restaurants and shops but the apartment is in a very quiet part of the city. Would recommend it to anyone and would certainly return. Very friendly and accommodating owner. Thank you Paul x

Apartment No 1 at 21, Old Mint Street, Valletta is well placed for a visit to Malta's capital city - with good, central access to the historic city centre & sights, & the many bars & restaurants. The main bus station is only a short walk away, allowing easy travel around the island; & the Gozo fast ferry is a frequent service from the grand harbour, also an easy walk from the apartment.

The apartment itself - whilst adequate & spacious - is not quite as smart as billed! It is a little 'tired', & would benefit from an overhaul e.g. a fresh coat of paint, particularly upstairs where walls are scuffed & all internal woodwork. The modern helical metal staircase is an interesting feature, but the hand rails are held together by gaffer tape in 3 places which doesn't inspire confidence! In addition, the shiny metallic finish on kitchen bar stools & bathroom shelving has begun to 'corrode' & looks pitted/rusty in places, as does the kitchen waste bin. This issue might be remedied by a good clean with a metal polish! The kitchen is also quite poorly equipped, e.g. no decent/sharp kitchen knives (cutting bread was a challenge). Most of the pans have warped bases & do not sit flat on the hob, reducing efficient heat transfer. We could not get the toaster to work. It is also impossible to open & close the dishwasher door without the kickboard falling off! We also found the apartment quite noisy at night & early in the morning (traffic, entrance door & lift & other apartment doors slamming etc) & there is construction work going on all down Old Mint St (& in most of Malta it seems!) so the noise of workmen was a constant.

Very nice flat, great location and would visit again

The apartment was very comfortable and nicely set up. The location was perfect for exploring Valletta which we really enjoyed. The airport transfer arrangements set up by the owner made it really easy on arrival and departure.

Loads of space and fantastic location With a brilliant lift

Large striking apartment well located to shopping, restaurants, main area and bus terminal. Booking lists it as a 1 bedroom but it has 2 bedrooms.

There are sufficient pots and pans but no cooking utensils. Apartment has some issues that could use some maintenance. We were there for 6 days and got low on toilet paper. When I asked for more the agent emailed to buy some at the local store. I have travelled extensively and have never encountered this before. It seems very petty on his part.
