The Manoel Boutique Hotel

The location of the hotel is great, right next to the Grand Master's palace, excellent for sightseeing. Our room was in the back, so we did't experience noise, but I guess it's noisy in the front. They gave us a room in the back right above the ventilators, even though I asked for a quiet room because of a baby. Changed it after one night, it was ok after that. It was pretty clean, the housekeeping lady was nice, but one day they didn't change our towels and coffe cups we had to go to the reception, the man who was cleaning that day gave us new ones after intervention. The reception staf was nice and friendly. Breakfast was ok, the food was good quality but poor choice. It is located 5 min from the hotel, not far, but be prepared to walk and it is a bit steep when you go back to the hotel. Not in the direction of atractions. They have buffet and a la carte but when you order a la carte be prepared to wait. One morning we waited for 40 minutes. The other 30minutes. Coffe was ok.

Located right on the center of Valletta, only a few minutes walk from the main attractions of this city. The terrace has a beautiful view of the Basilica of Our Lady of Mt Carmel. Aside from a very accommodating staff, facilities are well maintained and clean. Regarding the breakfast, it takes place not in the hotel but in a restaurant about 2 minutes walk away.

Great nice little hotel located in the heart of La Valleta. The room was very nice and cozy with all amenities. There was also a balcony, and the room was quite soundproof. The receptionists were super nice and helpful. Specially, the one that assisted us with our luggage. Thank you so much again for your kindness and help 😊. The terrace was unfortunately under works, however, the view is stunning with the coupole the Saint Paul’s chapel. The breakfast was in the Merkanti restaurant, which was about two minutes walk and it was really good. We highly enjoyed our stay, and would be back happily.

This small hotel is set in one of the liveliest and loveliest streets of Valletta, just a short walk from Republic Square and most of the city centre attractions. My large spacious room had a lovely little Juliette balcony looking down over the street - no wardrobe, though, which was an inconvenience. A word of warning - Old Theatre Street is full of eateries, many of them fast food joints and one hosting live music at weekends, so it attracts a younger crowd at night and can get noisy. Closing the balcony doors seems to cut out most of the noise. My first impressions weren't so good. The balcony doors were difficult to open and close and so I had to spend the first night listening to raucous music and singing. When next morning I asked the young man at reception to help me with them, he refused to come up and do so (he was not on his own and reception wasn't busy) and simply barked some confused instructions. After several unsuccessful attempts to get help from him, I got the cleaner to open them for me. That night and others I found a younger and stronger guest to close them for me again. That same first morning I tried several times to find the cafe where the receptionist told me I was to have breakfast (included in the price but not on the premises). The same unhelpful garbled nonsense. Eventually I insisted on him personally showing me the way. He made a big fuss about it and angrily strode on ahead up the hill then waited impatiently for me to catch up, tapping his foot (I'm in my seventies and have an obvious spinal condition). I complained later to the owner/manager (?) about this unpleasant young man, whose behaviour was not only unhelpful but also rude. After that, I didn't see him again during my stay. I would have that morning given this establishment a very negative review, but the prompt intervention of the manager and the subsequent courtesy which I was shown by the other hotel employees has enabled me to give the Manoel the four stars it otherwise deserves. Hoteliers should take note that good or indifferent staff can make or break the guest experience and will be reflected in their recommendations to others.

A small hotel right in the centre of Valletta, close to everything. Our room had plenty of space and was very clean. It had everything we needed for a short stay and was cleaned daily. Yes it was noisy on some mornings but it is in the centre of a city so you have to expect some early deliveries. Breakfast was in a restaurant a short walk away and had enough there to choose from. An enjoyable stay.
