Hotels near Artisans Centre, Valletta

Starting with the information - we stayed at So City as a young couple (who arent particularly into nightclubs/bars) to see Matla for the first time over a week. I have given this a 'benefit-of-the-doubt' rating due to the hotel being incredibly new. We picked So City Hotel because of the value, it was incredibly well priced. I'd imagine this is a strategy due to it being so new but it was certainly well worth the price we paid. On to the hotel as a whole - I feel this is definitely aimed toward capturing people coming to Malta for some night life. Its positioned so that no more than 10 seconds from leaving the lobby, you can be in a bar, and their are some nice bars surrounding. That said, we werent there for that - but this location also meant that finding an evening meal, or a quick early night drink was incredibly easy. Exploring the island was also very easy from here, Valletta was a very short journey, and as we had opted to rent a car, there was a carpark about 5 minutes walk away (Pengardens) which is reasonably priced for over night parking, and we never struggled for a space. The room was very comfortable, and the mattress was perfect and bedding very soft and comfortable. Our upgraded room was also incredibly spacious. The theming is a nice touch and makes the room a bit more characterful and individual. Staying on the 7th floor, there was minimal noise at night, altough id be concerned if we needed to keep the window open.... The black out curtains were also amazing for keep the room dark for a little bit of extra sleep. Constructive criticism for the room would be: The shower tempurture is difficult - the hottest setting is insanely hot (my other half loves hot showers but this was too much for her also) and it wouldnt go cold, just cooler, it also seemed to get colder through out the shower and you found yourself adjusting. There is not a lot of storage at all for longer stays. This is perhaps a by product of it feeling aimed towards 'nightlifers' who might stop 3 nights or so. I would perhaps ask reception for additional hangers if you have plenty of clothes for a longer stay. The mini fridge, altough useful, is not big enough to put larger water bottles in, which can be annoying. The aircon unit is situated in a place which means it blows directly at the bed. I tried to play with the control but there was no way to adjust it that I could find. Im trying to cool the room, not refridgerate myself. The timer on the aircon also didnt seem to work, so setting it the blow for 30 mins whilst i went to sleep just didnt seem to work. The TV is not a full smartTV which is a shame. Just channels and an internet browser, which are never nice to navigate around.... On to other notes: Breakfast is just what you need. Its not an all out buffett where there is everything you could dream of, but there is more than enough and a few items cycle so you can expect a slightly different breakfast each morning. Constructive criticism for bre

My google maps review was 5 stars ”I had been in this hotel a few days, the overall experience was very good. All the staff was very friendly, ensured that we got a nice room, the room is big than average hotels and all new. The breakfast is tasty and prepared in the moment. Most probably if I return to Malta will check this hotel again, because was a nice experience”

We stayed here for a last minute break away for our anniversary. When we got dropped off the location was in a busy street late at night on a Saturday. When we arrived at the hotel we were expected being the last arrival of the day. Check in was very efficient and the reception doubled up as a bar. The room was very spacious and very clean, with a nice big double bed, ac, TV, safe, kettle, fridge and storage. The balcony was street facing which was small but enough for 2 and ideal for the hubby who smokes. The bathroom was again very spacious and very clean we had a nice walk in shower and the water pressure was also very good. We realised in the morning we were in the midst of a town with lots of construction but the noise could not be heard if the windows were shut. Due to this the AC was needed which is the only thing I can fault. Due to this being controlled by a panel on the wall by the entrance but no remote was available to control therefore had a disturbed sleep to change temp or switch on or off.

We’ve enjoyed the weekend at Urban Valley. We visited with our small dog. Upon arrival they made us feel welcome! Dream, our dog had his own bed, a bucket full of goodies also for him to enjoy! The manager, Adrian is very kind and professional in his work. We enjoyed the afternoon tea at bar area close to the reception, and we were served by Peter, another hotel gem! Welldone, we will surely re-visit! Breakfast was delicious and rooms very clean and neat! 10/10 👏Thankyou Adrian and all the Team

ENG I don't know anything about this hotel but passing underneath, some boys threw water at us from the balcony, laughing, making videos of us [we are minors] and insulting us (for the hotel: I left some photos of the room, the one with the towels, day 14 July) MAL Saya tidak tahu apa-apa tentang hotel ini tetapi lewat di bawah, beberapa budak lelaki membaling air ke arah kami dari balkoni, ketawa, membuat video tentang kami [kami di bawah umur] dan menghina kami (untuk hotel: Saya meninggalkan beberapa gambar bilik atau yang bertuala, hari 14 Julai) ITA Non so nulla di questo hotel ma passando sotto, dei ragazzi ci hanno lanciato dell'acqua dal balcone, ridendo, facendoci dei filmati [siamo minorenni] e insultandoci (per l'hotel: ho lasciato delle foto della camera ovvero quella con gli asciugamani, giorno 14 luglio)

This hotel is part of the Accor Group and was a perfect location outside Valletta in the area of Msida. I arranged a transfer to and from the airport to the hotel that dropped and picked me on the corner where the hotel is located. I was welcomed by Laura at reception and offered a welcome drink as a Gold Accor member. I was also introduced to the manager also named Laura and given an overview of the hotel facilities and a map detailing the Malta area. After receiving my studio room key and entering the room it was very large and had a view out to the front street area from the balcony that had a table and two chairs. The room has a large kitchenette area with crockery , cutlery, glasses, saucepans and other cooking utensils. Two electric hot plates and a microwave oven and a small bar fridge with large complimentary bottles of sparkling and still water. Tea and coffee making facilities also in the kitchenette along with a sink for washing dishes and tea towel for drying. Another bench area below the television with two bar stools. Good size television on the wall and plenty of power points including USB charging throughout the room. A separate part of the main room had a two seater lounge and coffee table. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was large with a good shower and plenty of space around the bathroom sink to place items. Shaving mirror and power points. The towels were nice and fluffy and new and there was always plenty of hot water. A laundry room with two coin operated washers and two dryers is on site to do your own laundry if required. There is also a good gym on site. The rooftop pool has views over the surrounding areas and would be good for swimming or relaxing around in spring and summer. Breakfast is also available at the hotel but I did not avail of this. I did have dinner one evening at the recently re-opened bistro 77 (B77) restaurant on site and the meal and service was exceptional. The hotel is within walking distance of the marina area and for good walkers the old city area of Vallettta is about an hour walk away. A bus stop is located just around the corner further up the street that I utilised to go to Valletta one day and then continued on a connecting bus to Medina/Rabat. This hotel is exceptional in both service and facilities and if you don’t want to be right in Valletta but close enough by taxi/bus then this is definitely a good choice.
