Orbis Boutique Studios by Holi

Orbis Boutique Studios by Holi

10/10 Excellent
"This was a modern, spacious apartment with everything you need for a family holiday. The apartment was extremely neat and conveniently located. The Marsa Park & Ride bus station was just a 10 mins walk which serves as a hub for transport connections to Valletta, Sliema, Mdina etc. Highly recommend 👌"

Deep Blu

Deep Blu

10/10 Excellent
"Deep blu is a gorgeous locally run boutique hotel. The staff are attentive and always sought to go the extra mile. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening menu had a good range of tasty meals. You have to remember that things run on Maltese time so if you are expecting the pool to be open first thing, chill and remember you are on holiday. You must walk down the steps and jump into the Med at the Blu grotto canal, but you have to be a proficient swimmer to do this. It is handy if you want to get into Qrendi (a fine stretch of the legs) or Zurrieq (a wee bit too far to walk, unless you are purging yourself for over indulging the night before) If you want to go further afield hop into a Bolt and away you go."

Ta' Bertu Host Family Bed & Breakfast

Ta' Bertu Host Family Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"This was honestly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Filled with Old World charm. It’s a true bed & breakfast in a family estate of multiple generations led by a matriarch who runs the show. You sit and have breakfast with several of them when they’re visiting, it’s remarkable - the bubbly grandson, his brilliant mother who is a local tour guide, and the elderly parents. The gardener/pool guy and maid also display have deep affection for the family and the home. There are orange, lemon, and olive trees. The olive oil is from the trees you see from the mansion windows. The pool is cleaned constantly and also charming. The room itself was perfect. I had a desk, which was really helpful as I had to work throughout my stay, the bed was comfortable, and the AC got so cold even in the heat wave that I had to turn it off! The bathroom was clean and had everything I needed. Parking was no issue. I am surprised this place isn’t on AirBnB. It would win awards. It’s perfect for people who want a personalized experience over a stuffy concierged stay. It’s not a traditional hotel. It’s a gorgeous mansion of which you rent a room. There is total privacy (each room has its own keys of course) and the upstairs floor that hosts the guests is in a separate portion of the house from where the owners stay downstairs. The bad reviews seem geopolitical (UK colonized Malta) and irrelevant to your stay. This is a magical, dreamy, stunning place to stay with the kindest, funniest family."

10/10 Excellent
"We were wow’d the moment we stepped into this gorgeous, unique property. The owners, Lulu and Clive were so hospitable and you could tell the attention to detail from the unique, eclectic lobby to the courtyard with swimming pool. Out room was equally stunning. We booked the one with a jacuzzi- a small living area, separate bedroom area, and spiral staircase to a surprise cavernous room w a jacuzzi! Everything was perfect! Bathrobes, fluffy towels and luxury bath products, this hotel was better than most of the 5 star hotels we stayed at! And it’s only 10 minutes to Mdina and 15 mins to the airport. We absolutely loved it !!!"
