19 Rooms

19 Rooms claims to be a 4-star hotel but lacks many amenities. One of the main issues for me was that they advertise all rooms have AC. While this is technically true, they block the AC feature on the master control system. After the first night, I spoke with the front desk reception about getting the AC running in my room. They advised that they only run the AC in the middle of summer and that heat is on for the rest of the year. This also disables the “Fan” feature in the room. As a result, you get stale air and humidity. The room temperature read 24°C and about 65% humidity based on their control panel. The only option offered was to leave the window open, which faced directly toward the bed, meaning anyone walking through the courtyard could look in and see my wife and me sleeping. I was in Room 18 and ended up checking out early and moving to a different hotel nearby. Pros: Great location with a good view away from bars and restaurants. The breakfast was good and as advertised.

I had high expectations due to the rating. Likes: the layout of the room. The bed was relatively comfortable. Dislikes: it is not 4 stars hotel, 3 at max. Amenities are minimal. I see the dust the corners of the room. Specially when I had to plug in the fridge, there was a lot of dust. One of the male receptionists is not friendly at all. He should not be in service industry. He does not smile and do the bare minimum friendliness to interact with customer. The one that really bothered me was mosquitoes. How is it possible to have mosquitoes in Nov? It attacked me all nights, could not sleep. The breakfast was also quite generic. I did not enjoy at all, so I went out and had at the restaurants for the last 2 days.

Monica was an amazing first glimpse of the hotel! She sat in the reception when we checked in and here friendliness really set the standard! The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good, even though the eggs were a little too hard boiled for my personal preference:) Super friendly staff that also offer complementary wine between 6-7 pm!

On a biz trip in Malta for 2 days I have chosen the 19Rooms in Valetta. Small but lovely hotel; warm welcome. Clean and tidy room in modern style. Rooftop terrasse with exceptional view over Valetta and Sliema. Small but rich breakfast. Recommendation for this hotel? A clear YES; not only to avoid big hotel chains.

A nice boutique hotel in an amazing location, right on the edge of Valletta's old city, near the entrance to the "little" harbour. Even though the hotel is just a few blocks from the Grand Master's Palace and other busy tourist spots, the street itself is very calm and quiet. The rooftop terrace has a stunning view over Valletta and the bay, and is also great for watching small boats coming in and out of the harbour. Friendly staff and a nice breakfast with a local touch.
