Casa Asti

This little b&b is a perfect place for a solo traveller, it was near everything to shops, restaurants and any other walking adventures. Casa Asti also has a restaurant next door that does breakfast, lunch and dinner, only negative is there’s no lifts or tv which wasn’t an issue for me though could be for someone else, friendly happy and felt safe within my 4 days.

This hotel is in an excellent location close to the main attractions and some of great restaurants. The room is a giod size but expect tonuse the balcony as they're tiny. The bathroom is the same you have to squeeze between the toilet and sink to get into the shower. The are a number of stairs to the third floor along dark corridors as the lights take a while to come on which is disconcerting in the dark. I only ever saw one staff member briefly on check in and can't say they were particularly helpful. The reception area is not manned throughout the day so don't expect much help to organise trips or to get recommendations for restaurants.

This is a small, ancient and very quaint hotel right in the centre of the city, on a steep street that has tables outside for their attached brasserie. In summer it might be a bit noisy, but at this time of year it was perfectly quiet. The room we had was small but very pretty; the bed very comfortable, the curtains elegant and very good at keeping out light. The bathroom was. really a bit too small but clean and well equipped. I believe that the hotel is family run, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We had one lunch in the brasserie which was excellent. The decor was very tasteful and full of interest

This is a beautiful building and a perfect location, with lovely rooms. You can walk to everything. They have gone to a lot of trouble to think of every detail. From a decent size trashcan and extra luggage racks, to ensuring the lamp switches are visible on the cord, the beds and linens were very comfortable. They also run a café in front of the hotel. Which is lovely, and keeps them quite busy, but if you have a problem, you know where to find them :-) it is true that there is music Friday and Saturday night, and it is loud if you are in the front of the building. But it stops at 11, and frankly we enjoyed the music. The night we were there, it was mostly “rat pack”… Sinatra et cetera. They do not have a guest laundry, but on the next street there is a small laundromat. To wash and dry a load of laundry costs about €10. Don’t miss the Hypogeum or the Tarxien temples!

The place also runs a restaurant that plays live music every Friday and Saturday, which is completely incompatible with a place where people contract for rest. If you don't care about this, you will maybe like the place. But be warned they don't tell anything about this other "service" they provide on Booking or similar.

We can highly recommend this place. We have stayed here for 3 nights with our children. Room is spacious, clean and very beautiful decorated. Staff is super friendly also with our kids. Also highly recommended for lunch. Will definitely stay here again when traveling to Valletta.
