Guest Reviews

• Jeff (10/5): Wonderful views, great location, super clean. - Location, clean Nothing but the water drip system for outdoor plants not working properly. We watered by bucket but needs a look.
• Angela (10/5): A fabulous apartment with stunning views - Fabulous property, very spacious, 3 terraces to enjoy the great harbour views and passing ships. Also the property was well supplied with essentials so we had less to buy at the supermarket. A few more cups would be good (3 was not enough)
• edytabrendabroyek (10/5): Amazing! - Garigor Penthouse is the best place I’ve ever stayed in when it comes to comfort and views. The service was excellent at every stage of the stay. The apartment itself is beautiful, spacious, and very well equipped—photos simply don’t do it justice. The views from the three stunning terraces are absolutely breathtaking. For me, this is truly top of the top on my list, and I can’t wait to come back.
• Charles (8/5): A fascinating week of discovery. - This apartment has two big things going for it: the view and its spacious rooms. I’d say three, but at €200 for the taster menu (not including drinks) the two-star Michelin restaurant close by was out of my price range! The view varied day by day: excellent fireworks alternated with some of the most truly monstrous cruise ships I’ve ever seen, but the everyday view of the harbour and the three cities was wonderful. The handle of the cafetière not properly attached, so difficult to pour. The bath needs a handle fixed to the wall to aid elderly guests step in and out safely.
• Beate (10/5): We really enjoyed our time there: great views, all major sights and harbour in walking distance -
• elizabeth (10/5): -
• Donna (9/5): We had a great time the area was beautiful and near to all the attractions in Malta. - The apartment was in a great location overlooking the harbour 5 minutes from the ferry terminal and bars and restaurants. The apartment was clean with everything you needed during your stay, amazing terrace and roof top area. Unfortunately there were building works going on in the adjacent property and we were woken up every morning at 7am with loads of banging on the walls.
• Corinne (10/5): Excellent, the best place to stay in Valetta - this is probably one of the best places I have ever stayed in, and we travel a lot. Fantastic huge apartment with amazing views over the harbour. It is probably one of the best places to stay in Valetta. It has 3 terraces all with expansive views. It is massively spacious and very comfortable. It is also in a great area easy to access everything you would want to see in Valetta nothing
• Rachael (10/5): Another great stay at this lovely apartment - It was our second stay at this apartment and it did not disappoint. I don’t think I could ever tire of the amazing views from the terraces or the beautiful limestone building itself. The apartment is very nicely decorated and well equipped with everything you need. I can’t wait to go back!
• Judy (9/5): Wonderful, spacious and easy to access apartment in the most amazing location. - We loved this apartment for all of its facilities and space, and the lift that took us directly into the property. The host was so easy and prompt to communicate with and made accessing the property a simple process. Mostly though we loved the location. The views to the Grand Harbour were amazing and it was a quick walk to everything in Valletta old city. Would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Valletta. There wasn't a clothes dryer and also we couldn't find a bath plug anywhere.
• Samantha (9/5): A New Year to remember - The apartment is in a fantastic location and the views from all three balconies are breathtaking. The kitchen is well equipped and the layout ideal for 2 couples with each bedroom having its own bathroom on the same floor. Just a small thing but all 4 of us struggled with the pillows as they were too soft and squashy and we all ended up with stiff necks. A larger bin and clearer instructions on how to get rid of rubbish would have been helpful too.
• matthew (10/5): -
• Craig (10/5): Amazing place to stay! - Massive apartment. Pictures don’t do justice. Terraces and harbour view amazing. Had a lift direct into the apartment! Easy walk everywhere. One of best places stayed
• Tracy (9/5): Amazing views and accessible to attractions/food. - Excellent harbour view across the 3 cities and waking up to gorgeous sunrises every morning. The spiral garidor staircase was beautiful. The owner was responsive via both booking.com or watsapp chats and helpful- they helped me with a cab booking to the airport too! Lately, the place is easily access to a few Michelin restaurants and attractions. Can’t ask for more! None
• James (10/5): - Property was a condo - no breakfast.
• Catherine (10/5): Perfect Valetta stay - The location and view is the best in Valetta. Looking over to the 3 cities is gorgeous, especially as the sun goes down and all the churches light up and the bells start to ring across the water Nothing. Just to note that the interior staircase going up to the second bedroom is very narrow and not suitable for the elderly or anyone who struggles with stairs. But you can go up and down to the upstairs bedroom using the outside stairs as well which are much wider and it’s fully lit up at night
• Elaine (10/5): -
• Sam (9/5): Luxe Spacious and so well located - It was luxe, spacious and on one of the best streets in Vallettal. Loved the fabulous views and choice of outside areas. The washing machine meant we could travel light and the dishwasher made life easier too. As soon as I contacted Roberta the faulty kettle was replaced. The spiral staircase was a little tricky however there was an outside staircase to carry cases up and down. Mattresses were quite hard and if you are a light sleeper earplugs would be useful as the ferries and cruise ships come and go through the night. A visitor book with tips and recommendations would have been good. We found a few gems that could have been passed on but these are small things really
• Matthew (8/5): - Amazing views The spiral staircase is a bit tricky, better to use the outside staircase.
• Nina (9/5): -
• Teodora (10/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): Lovely Valletta - The stunning views and the location. The penthouse was generous in size and has three lovely terraces. We had a lovely week staying here It was far too hot to use the roof terrace as there was no shade at all. A softer mattress would have made my nights heavenly, but I am being picky here.
• Alison (9/5): Awesome - The location was amazing. Views of Grand Harbour and the 3 Cities and all the different boats passing by Would have been nice to have some more info on Malta in the property
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Alison (10/5): We were so comfortable. The property has everything you need. It is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The views - The apartment is absolutely exquisite. The photos do not do it justice; it’s even better than the photos.
• Michael (10/5): Fabulous Views - Fabulous views, heaps of room, great balconies , location is good. Everything worked perfectly. Would highly recommend The lift took a little working out, but all good once we got used to it. Main bedroom would be difficult to access if have mobility issue due to the stairs, but well worth the effort if a few stairs aren’t a problem. Don’t let this comment worry you lift delivers you to the apartment and the second bedroom on this level is also beautiful.
• Katharine (10/5): Beautiful spacious apartment with amazing views - The location and views from the apartment were fantastic. Very spacious and well presented. Would highly recommend. Ideally a visitor information pack with a guide to the area would have been nice with tips for trips, restaurants etc
• Diana (10/5): Felt like a very special place to stay in beautiful Valletta - Fantastic location, stunning views, hosts very helpful Loved everything but had to work out how best to stagger showers to ensure enough hot water for four - worth it to stay is such a traditional building with those views.
• Sarah (10/5): Amazing! - Wonderful Location. Beautifully spacious. Nicely decorated. N/A
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - It was perfect in every way! The Host was kind and helpful, and the Penthouse was equipped with everything you might need. It was clean and spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The balconies were amazing with a truly beautiful view. The location was just as perfect - quiet, yet still close to everything (restaurants, bars, sights, shops). We will be back!
• Julie (9/5): A fantastic property to enjoy a wonderful city. - The location was fantastic - a walk to all the sights of Valetta but in a very quiet area. The apartment was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The 3 balconies were the highlight of the stay with views over the Grand Harbour to the 3 cities. We watched sunrises, sunsets, cruise ships come and all the other activities on the water. Absolutely brilliant! We did have an issue with not enough hot water for all 4 of us all to shower one after the after. The apartment team were excellent in seeing if this could be improved even though the Easter weekend. Unfortunately it was not resolved, but with strategic planning of showers and being very frugal with hot water, we managed the situation. Not ideal but cannot fault the response from the owners and appreciated their tokens including prosecco and Maltsese easter cake!!
• Nikki (10/5): Unbelievable and expansive views from every terrace! - The location can’t be beaten! You don’t fully appreciate the view from the many terraces until You step out onto them. Truly spectacular! There’s so much history around the ancient harbour and so much water action with cruise ships, opulent yachts, ferries and traditional brightly coloured boats. The Gozo ferry is just beneath the apartment and 3 City ferries and boats in the same location. All that said, the apartment is very quiet with the buzz of beautiful and vibrant Valletta just a few stops away. It’s a view that I won’t forget! Nothing. It was perfect for us
• Pete (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meriel (10/5): A wonderful stay. Loved every minute. Malts is a fantastic place and this was a great location from which to enjoy Valle - Fantastic view great location. Nothing.
• Rachael (10/5): Lovely apartment with incredible views - The apartment has incredible views of the grand harbour and 3 cities from the terraces. It is in a superb location on a quiet street. The kitchen is well equipped with all amenities. We found the check-in/check out system very easy. We can’t wait to go back!
• David (10/5): Liked everything about #17 - Superb location, great facilities, wonderful views, quiet neighbourhood Slippery shower floor
• Christine (10/5): Amazing - everything, including location ambiance, and comfort. As well as the host who was amazing Nothing
• Steven (9/5): Relax and enjoy the view, but you can also enjoy what Malta has to offer too - A superb, well appointed apartment with a great view over the Grand Harbour, close to all tourist attractions Nothing could have been better
• Sue (10/5): Fabulous accommodation and even more fabulous Host 🤗 - I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Perfectly located for all the beautiful sights Valletta has to offer, and three amazing balconies to gaze upon them all from! All this, and a characterful and well equipped interior if you can tear yourself away from the views outside. But above all in my opinion, is the level of outstanding care and help from the hostess, Roberta. Upon arrival, I discovered that I had left my phone charger at home. This seemed like a big deal to me as we have our first grandchild at home who is a little unwell and I was very upset about not being able to be in touch with my daughter. I’m afraid I phoned Roberta in floods of tears because we were trying to locate a phone shop with a faulty sat-nav and I pestered her for directions. Noting my distress, she took charge immediately and told me not to worry, she would sort it out. Despite the fact that this was not her problem whatsoever, she dropped a charger off for me at the apartment within a couple of hours. Her kindness and understanding was much appreciated and needed. As a person who has an anxiety disorder, I don’t come across many people who are genuinely, well - superb. OK - I will stop rambling, but basically - don’t hesitate to book this place! 🤗 Absolutely nothing to dislike!
• Vija (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mihaela (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was lovely, with beautiful views from the three terraces. It was in a great location—just a short walk to everything we needed and in a quiet area. The host was very helpful and accommodating. We hope to return to Valletta and be able to book again.
• Gillian (5/5): Passable - location was excellent. terraces great with wonderful view. Glad of lift to the flat after all the steps we had to climb to get to bars and restaurants! very uncomfortable bed - rock hard. cockroach in bathroom. both of us were bitten all over arms and legs by something in bedroom. should be mosquito net over bed. could do with more worktop space - maybe a small table in kitchen? Not enough hot water even for two showers in the morning.
• Norma (10/5): 100% recommend staying here - Outrageously gorgeous views from huge terraces in this very spacious apartment. Peaceful, quiet street that was just a 5 minute walk to fun rowdy bars and restaurants, the high speed ferry to Gozo, and the harbour water taxis. Nearby grocery store with everything we needed. Elevator up to the suite saved my tired legs after long days exploring the steep streets of Valletta Beds were a little firm for my tastes. And while I loved the look of the traditional windows, we discovered if we left them open, even during the day, we were plagued by mosquitoes at night.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liz (10/5): A delight - Beautifully presented, wonderful outdoor spaces and views, cool and airy.
• Sheila (10/5): Amazing spacious apartment, with spectacular views from the balconies - The outside space was amazing, the views spectacular! We loved watching all the activity on the waterfront, there was always so much to see. Great to watch the cruise ships passing by the balcony! The apartment is huge and perfect for 2 couples, where you have your own space. It’s also in the perfect location, so convenient for everything! We loved our stay there!
• Garvin (10/5): We have stayed in 6 apartments in Valletta over the past 15 years. This was the best. Real value for - Just about eveything. Views and outside space are our priorities and this had those in abundance The only criticism is the shortage of workspace in the kitchen. Another worktop could have been provided along the wall opposite the cooker. We have already looked at booking for next year but we are pensioners now and can’t afford to pay up front and risk losing a couple of grand which is a shame
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (10/5): Fab Apartment with Spectacular Views. - Comfortable, well equipped and prime position. We used one of the three terraces everyday..the views are spectacular. The two double bedrooms are spacious and very well equipped. Access arrangements were easy to follow. Nothing
• Samantha (10/5): Fabulous property with stunning views across the harbour - The location of this property is fantastic, right on the grand harbour. Less than 10min walk to the old town area of Valletta with the Cathedral, main piazza, and lots of restaurants. In fact there are restaurants within 2mins walk. The area felt safe to walk about. There are two large balconies (one accessed from the living area and the other from the upstairs master bedroom), plus the roof terrace - all with amazing views across the harbour. I loved sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the comings and goings on the water. The property was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The bottle of water in the fridge was very welcome on our arrival. There is air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout the There’s not much work top surface area in the kitchen for if you wanted to cook proper meals (which you could as there’s a proper oven, microwave, lots of cookware). We were only preparing breakfast and some lunch snacks so managed with moving things about.
• Courtney (9/5): Beautiful views, great location and fantastic hosts - Lovely apartment in a great location. Roberta was super helpful and responsive. The terraces and the views are a huge bonus in Valletta. Nothing it was a real find.
• Maria (10/5): It was one of the best vacation rentals I have stayed on. - The view, the wonderful penthouse, the balconies, the location! I couldn't think of any.
• Luvlix (10/5): Spectacular terraces and views absolute pearl in Valletta x - What can I say location was perfect, the terraces (multiple) were fabulous and the view spectacular, we couldn't believe the size and overall layout it is genuinely impressive. The host was fabulous, with some awesome recommendations for local bars and restaurants as well as answering stupid us who couldn't find the cutlery or hairdryer, she directed us to the former and dropped off a replacement for the latter the next day. The location is perfect for sightseeing into the city as well as along to both ferry ports. Loads of bars near up the bustling streets I highly recommend the Bridge Bar, Trabuxu and Beati Paoli Restaurants amazing food and the wine! So slight it's not really worth mentioning but could've used some mirrors in the lower bedroom and seating area.
• Duygu (10/5): One of the best places I stayed - Honestly, when I saw the photos I thought there is a possibility of me getting scammed 😂 3 different photos of the terrace and they all look different? Well friends, it’s because there are actually 3 terraces!!! When we walked it my sister and I responded with ‘woooowww’ the views are amazing. Roberta was so lovely! It happened to be very windy when we were there and she even brought us some blankets. There is no way I’ll go to Valetta again and not stay here. I kind of wanted to gate keep this place but that wouldn’t be fair 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ All good
• Sally (10/5): Fantastic stay in great location with fabulous views. - Fantastic location and views from all the terraces. A well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Extremely spacious apartment with plenty of room for everyone. Master bedroom access maybe difficult for some people as entry is via a spiral staircase however you can use the exterior steps. Some cushions on outside seating and sun loungers would be good.
• Kirsty (10/5): Perfect property and extremely helpful host. We couldn't have asked for more. - The location was fabulous with beautiful views and the facilities were excellent. There was nothing that we didn't like.
• Aiyuan (10/5): We love this house. We had great memory with it. We enjoyed every meal on the balcony. Strongly recommend. - Everything is in walking distance. And it has everything we need. The decoration style is great. Food market is very close, but it would be very appreciated to have some bottle water in the house. It could be charged for extra. No problem.
• Kim (10/5): Perfect apartment and location. Nice neighbourhood with easy access to lots of restaurants and shops - Absolute marvellous view Excellent terraces Private lift directly from street level to living room
• Kim (10/5): Perfect. It was everything we’d hoped for. - Everything. Location fantastic overlooking grand harbour to the 3 cities area and convenient for exploring Valletta itself. A short walk to the bus station, allows you to discover the whole island. Close to ferries and the Barrakka lift which can take you all the way up from ground level to the gardens, avoiding a lot of stairs. Beautiful terraces, very comfortable furnishings, beds and facilities. When I first saw the pictures of the apartment, I wasn’t sure that I was looking at just one property, but the photos are accurate and it was exactly as described. Roberta was helpful and easy to contact. The apartment made our holiday. There was nothing wrong at all. A few more instructions about rubbish and recycling and the cooker controls would have been useful.
• Nawal (10/5): Breathtaking views, impeccable Penthouse and excellent service! - Impeccable Penthouse! Prime location at the heart of Valletta, with breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities from its three patios. Penthouse designed and furnished with artistic taste and equipped with everything needed for full comfort. Most of all, wonderful Roberta, greeting you warmly and offering generous assistance and continuous care. Thank you Roberta for your excellent support! I am sorry I have to leave and shall surely be back … for a longer period! Absolutely nothing … only having to leave!
