Mandera's Boutique Suites & Dorms

Deilige dager i Valletta Koselig lite rom, rent of pent. Deilig terrasse. Hjelpsomme verter. Sentralt for det meste, sentrum, ferger og busser. Vi koste oss.

Cute and cosy Lovely stay in the little hotel room with the balcony. We arrived from the airport using public transport and left using a taxi and in both cases the journey was easy, even with our suitcase. Valletta is so compact as a city so for the days when we stayed in the city we often popped back to the room to make use of the filtered water facilities and AC. The AC unit worked well and meant that we were very comfortable in the room. Wifi was good and free espresso from the kitchen in the morning was a nice touch. The room was small, as I said, but had everything we needed (even fold-away storage and clothes hangers) and was nice and cosy. The TV came with Netflix, Youtube, and amazon prime so we watched some movies in the night too :) Staff messaged me to ask what times we wanted room cleaning/new towels and it was easy to contact them on whatsapp even though there is no in-person reception.

Service was superb. Abhi, in particular. could not have done more to make my stay a pleasure. He really went the extra mile to make me comfortable. He was exceptionally kind and patient - should have been managing one of Valetta's top hotels.

Abbiamo soggiornato in una camera (doppia - senza finestra) che puzzava di muffa e con un bagno di 0.5 mq. Farsi una doccia è impossibile e, allagato il pavimento (no piatto doccia), subito dopo è impossibile utilizzarlo come bagno. Con la mia allergia alla polvere, ho fatto fatica a dormire anche se ho chiesto un extra-cleaning 2 volte. L’areatore del bagno era pieno di polvere, per non parlare del fatto che in una settimana ho trovato ben 2 volte una blatta in bagno. Insonorizzazione assente: ogni mattina venivo svegliata da porte battenti e dall’ aspirapolvere utilizzata alle 7:00 del mattino. Il personale è stato disponibile ma i problemi della camera non erano certamente risolvibili. Posizione ottima, l’unica nota positiva di questa struttura.

Staff were efficient and checked in everyday. Common kitchen was very useful for us. Close to nice restaurants. Clean and comfortable.

Good location, great staff! Valletta is expensive for accommodation. As a solo traveler it makes it tough to find something reasonable. This hostel was a good compromise. The downside is always the people you have to share with.... snoring :) You can read the rest of my review in the attached picture.
