My stay at the St John Hotel was truly delightful, thanks to its central location in Valletta that made exploring the city so easy. The breakfast was a luxurious experience, complemented by the fantastic staff who went above and beyond. While the street noise could be intrusive at times, the overall atmosphere of the hotel was enjoyable. The rooms, although generally well put together, could use some improvement in terms of storage.

Staying at this boutique hotel in Valletta was a delight. From the moment we were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco to the last day, we felt like valued guests. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, though there was a bit of noise from the lively street outside. The breakfast was a highlight with an impressive selection, while the central location made exploring the area super easy. It was just a bit noisy at night, but overall, the experience was exceptional and well worth it.
