  : house already prepared to welcome me, lights, heating, water in the fridge etc..
  : apartment on the street with a door that does not prevent insects from entering, in my case a very large cockroach entered. Toilet was leaking

Disappointing

  : Location is the room's greatest asset: it's in the heart of old Valetta and steps away from many of the key tourist attractions, the harbour plus bars and restaurants. It also has a sense of history - nothing says Malta like old stone walls! If you are a solo traveler, who only needs a room to sleep in, as a base for exploring Valetta, this may work for you. If you don't want to sacrifice comfort for convenience, choose a nearby hotel or guest house, which may not cost you much more. The best room facilities were reliable Wi-Fi and cable TV with a good range of English-speaking channels.
  : 1. SPACE: it was small and cramped. 2. NATURAL LIGHT: there are no windows (really); you can open the stable-style front door to let light (and air) in but your privacy is then completely compromised; many local and tourists walk right past the door, day and night. 3. DAMPNESS: the room smelt musty on arrival, cardboard packaging went soft and towels wouldn't dry. The room needs a dehumidifier. There is no direct venting from the shower. 4. BED: it was a sofa-bed, and not a good one either; its joints and thin 'mattress' made it very uncomfortable, even for one person; it needs replacing with a proper bed. 5. KITCHEN: the appliances, whilst still working, are old, tired and (in places) rusty. 6. CHECK-IN: via a central hotel (the address of which was the one advertised, not the room itself). The receptionist was of little help; the e-mail self-help instructions from the booking process were an initiative test requiring mobile data and Google Maps.

  : The location was excellent! The apartment was small but had everything needed and was very clean. The kitchen was very well equipped including cleaning products. There was a washing machine, iron, ironing board and hairdryer, aircon and heating, if needed. There were some useful USB sockets and very good free wifi signal. There was a welcome folder with comprehensive information, which was very helpful. The main hotel reception was very close, if needed, only a few minutes walk from the apartment. Although no view from the apartment, it was situated at the bottom of a very pretty stepped street, typical of Valletta, with balaconied houses and potted plants all the way up the steps of the street.
  : Although very clean, the decor was very tired and looked shabby. Could do with a paint and needs the livingroom/ bathroom partition fixed. No seperate bedroom just an elevated mezzanine bed above the living area. It could do with some bedside shelves fixed onto the rails surrounding the bed. It also needs a blind or window covering on the window above the bed/front door. Overall, very budget freindly accomodation for the city, it just needs a bit of TLC. Though we were out all day and night exploring, we just needed somehwere to sleep and shower. It was clean and fit the bill for us.

  : Our studio was So Beautiful! We had everything we needed inside and we loved our stay. Only confusing thing was the address as the one mentioned is just reception and the real address was about 20 minutes walk away. But was very spacious and comfortable. Still close to the city center and communication with them was quick.
