    The aircon was very noisy. The pillows were too thick and the bed wasn’t too comfortable.

    Amazing location right by the ferry terminal. Quiet but easy to get anywhere. The area feels more authentic than Valetta. Very good communication via email/message even when the front desk was closed. I bought breakfast once and it was excellent.

    Nothing to report here

    We were delighted with the hotel, super-clean, great location (meters from the Ferry to Valetta), optional breakfast was pretty good. We booked the rooftop apartment with the hot tub - it wasn’t cheap but it paid off- the view, the space, the experience, everything was amazing.

    We liked everything !

    Everything was perfect , the location is beautiful with lots to see in Cospicua and ferry to Valetta just across the road. We ate in the main square 5 minutes from hotel , brilliant restaurants and bars. The hotel and rooms are of a high standard and extremely clean, we enjoyed breakfast in the lovely cafe each morning. Would definitely recommend and return!

    Because it's a cafe with rooms above, staff only stay available until mid day. Wasn't an issue for us but could be for some. To combat this all rooms and front door are accessed using a code sent to you before check in

    We stayed on the top floor with the hot tub. It was exactly what we needed after a full day walking around Valetta. The location couldn't have been better, you can avoid the crowds of Valetta whilst still having a beautiful view of it and the ferry terminal to Valetta is literally across the road from the hotel and runs every half hour between 6:30am and 12am in the summer. If you fall between these slots there is also a boat taxi rank another 5 minutes walk down the road. Because you have the terrace the top floor room is a bit smaller but we didn't mind because we didn't spend a lot of time in doors. Room was clean.

    Parking was hard to find directly outside the hotel, but we found some bays in the street Triq il-Gubilew tal-Fidda.

    Wonderful attention to detail in our rooms, with complimentary water provided every day. Clean facilities. Great location: just a couple of minutes' walk to the ferry point that takes you to Valletta. Senglea and Birgu are also in easy walking distance. Reception staff were not always on site, but responded very quickly to messages.

    Like many rooms here, the room is small so if you are interested in a more spacious place this may not be your place (for example the bathroom has a shared shower/room set up).

    We loved the location, very close to many restaurants, shops, the ferry to Valetta, museums, and heritage sites. We stayed during a holiday and the staff prepared some excellent boxed meals for us while they were on break. We enjoyed the view and the amenities including a hot tub. Comfortable bed. An incredible view from the balcony.

    There were hardly any issues, but if I had to mention one, it would be that the shower space could use a small shelf for toiletries.

    This hotel was clean, charming, and very welcoming. Conveniently located, it’s right across from the “Bormla” bus stop, making it easy to visit Valletta and other attractions. The hotel uses a single card key for both the entrance and the room, ensuring secure and flexible access at any time. The room was spotless and comfortable, with clean toilet and shower facilities. While the storage shelves were quite high, they provided a special stick to help access them, so it wasn’t an issue. The room included BF-type outlets and USB-A ports, which was very convenient. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. On the first night, I found the room a bit cold and requested an extra blanket. They responded promptly and later even replaced it with a winter duvet when I mentioned I was still chilly. Breakfast is served from 8:30 AM at the café on the first floor. You can choose your favorite pastry and drink, and they’ll warm them up for you. Although the menu mostly featured sweet pastries, they kindly provided simple toast upon request when I mentioned preferring plain bread. If I ever visit Malta again, I would definitely stay here. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!

    The breakfast options were quite poor. You get to choose one pastry and the only other thing to choose is cereal. It's ok for one morning but gets tedious quickly.

    A superb location with a spectacular balcony view of the bay. The staff was very helpful and solved all of our requests and ideas right away. Oftentimes you could enjoy live music coming from accross the bay.

    Incorrect information numbers provided for entry to property and we were just lucky that the housekeeper was still at property when we first arrived and heard us banging on door. Breakfast only available from 8.30am. No staff on site afternoons. No information on how to operate TV and it seems most TV shows had to be paid for. We couldn’t use it.

    Location excellent if wanting to stay in that area and have a five minute access to 2euro Ferry to Valletta. Very clean. Staff very obliging and efficient. We only met a housekeeper and the two other young ladies who were there, on separate days, to serve coffee and croissants to the public and residents.

    Very good location , is just 1 min from the ferry, which for 2 euro can bring you to Valletta. Lovely boutique hotel , with great breakfast and very polite personal. Close to the hotel is groceries, snack bars, restaurants(we recommend MYKONOS by YIAMAS), cafe/bars (we recommend DATE (Art Café) - you can visit in the evening) and more. We would definitely come back.

    There was a recurring problem with water leaking into the entrance hallway from the ceiling, which eventually got resolved, but we had to call and message Martina on a couple of evenings to let her know. She was very grateful and called us back to let us know. On a couple of mornings Martina's two young children were allowed to play in the café and it did get a bit noisy, but outside seating on the cordoned off pavement area was an option. Generally though, the room was serviced daily and we were very happy with our stay.

    Dock 1 is a small boutique hotel overlooking the marina and the American University building. It has 8 rooms, with the ground floor being a part-time café providing excellent coffees and teas, cereals and pastries, or a cooked breakfast if requested. It has a lift to all floors, and all rooms have the same view, although some are larger than others. The top floor room includes a sun terrace and hot tub. The attention to detail, from the contemporary décor to the room service, including regular changes of towels and linen, plus bottled water every day, was excellent. Martina the manager was always on site and was very friendly and welcoming, as were her staff. Great little hotel.
