    Great Location for Using Buses to Tour the Island
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double or Twin Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Better directions of how to reach the property. There were a lot of directions for reaching it from the airport but I had taken a ferry from Sicily and had a hard time finding it.

    I had a very difficult time finding this property. I had to take two taxis before I finally found it (with the aid of two restaurant workers who hailed a taxi for me with someone who actually knew the location of the property). Once I had figured out the "lay of the land", it was a great location because of the nearby bus stops which I used to go all over the island. I had some issues with keys and one night I blew a fuse in the room and lost the lights when I tried to use the electric kettle in the room. The manager was very good about coming to my aid on both these occaisions even though he was not living at the property. There was a well-appointed kitchen and even a washer and dryer but I did not need to use any of these during my stay. I would go back to this property if I ever returned to Malta.

    Room with 2 beds, coupled but different in height. Small space to move. No open air window. Dark area in the night, so difficult to find location and apartament door C. A little too expensive.

    Furniture and accessories are very new. Well organized areas.

    A solid choice with excellent management and a good location with some room for improvement

    • Stayed 7 nights

    We were disappointed with a couple of things during our stay. First, although we booked a double room, the bed was just two lightweight single beds pushed together that separated easily, creating a gap in the middle. Second, there was no housekeeping service, perhaps because we stayed during the off-season. We were only provided with four bath towels, which was not enough for a week-long trip for two people.

    The manager was fantastic - very communicative and responsive. He provided clear instructions with pictures for check-in and always answered our questions promptly. We were also pleased with the room, which had thoughtful amenities like a hairdryer and a socket adapter. The location is a major plus, with stores, restaurants, and bus stops all conveniently nearby. The kitchen is very well-equipped.

    Could be a little bit more communication with owner in advance, not only evening before our flight., finally we got all we had needed.

    Room was simple but clean, I miss some small brush to clean the floor, and small lamps were not working, blicking all the time. The nearest bus stop 5-7 min by walk, that time (in January) was very calm.

    It was closely located to lots of bus stops making it easy to get around the island. It was clean.

    The bed is very comfortable. The shared kitchen is good to cook quick meals, and it wasn't too busy. The location is good, you can reach La Valletta with a short bus trip.

    The window from our bedroom did not have a view and was overlooking the Shaft. It is a cleverly designe vertical space within a tall building that allows sunlight and ventilationt of the building’s interior spaces to the outside. It also allows servicing the building as the pluming system is fit inside the shaft. Our room had a small damp problem on one of the wall near to the floor. it was not a problem for us but some people may need to be aware it. There is no noise from the street, however ocasionally some of the guests may be a bit louder so they can affect your sleep. .In overall we had a great time and were very happy choosing Guesthouse no 48

    The property is located in a very good spot especially for those who are visiting Malta first time and wants to explore this country as much as possible. We stopped at "Guesthoise no 48" block 36C for 7 days. the whole place was clean. Bedroom was specious, with a nice ensuite exactly as advertised on booking.com. it offeres everything what a typical hotel room does.. Cmfortable king size bed combined from 2 single beds, working AC, smart TV, 2 wardrobes, desk, one chair, 2 side beds cupboards, kettle, small fridge, comfortable, Communal modern kitchen, very well equipped with a big fridge-freezer and dining table with chairs. Smoking in the property is not allowed. Check in and check out operated smoothly via What's app. Robert and Sue were very kind and allowed us to leave our luggage in the property earlier so we could enjoy exploring Malta straight after arrival. Very much appreciated by the early arrivals. Property has fantastic access to the public transport. It takes on average an hour to get to the farthest points of the island by buses from there, whichever side you wish to go to 😀. For those who rent a car, parking on street near the property is available. 5 min walking distance to the promenade filled with all sort of food facilities and impressive view on Valeta fortifications and St Paul's cathedral. Sliema Ferries Terminal can be reached on foot within 25 min or even quicer by local buses. Lovely King Gates pub accesible in 2 min, AD supermarket in 5 min walk.

    We had problems with the bathroom flooding: there is probably a leak upstairs and every day we had to dry the water and it was not very pleasant. Also in the shared kitchen, one of the two refrigerators leaked water and we put some rags and reported it. The cleanliness in the room and in the shared areas was not great and the kitchen is not very equipped (some pans are to be thrown away), and the stove does not seem very safe. The bed linen was white but there were several stains and we had to ask for blankets because there were only sheets.

    The property is fairly new and well maintained (parking is fairly easy to find). The room was large enough for 3 people, while the bathroom was quite small. The shared kitchen is convenient although the amenities are very basic. The laundry area was useful. The staff was quite helpful and friendly. Overall we had a good time but there are a few things that could be improved. The wi-fi was good.

    The room was comfortable and spacious but a bit dark due to the window facing the pavement, making it uncomfortable to open the curtains because passersby could see inside. Both the room and bathroom were clean. The shared kitchen was also spacious, but its access was inconvenient to people with mobility issues (like me) as it was located in the basement, with very steep stairs leading down.

    Walls were quite thin so you could hear the other tenants coming back at 3am. The makeshift shower should ideally have some light as well.

    Location was convenient. Near a bus stop which takes you to Valletta directly. The self-check in and check out was straightforward as well. Simple body wash, hand soap and toilet paper was provided. There were towels too. Shared kitchen available.

    Not negative, but things that you need to consider or maybe ask the staff (we didn’t ask;) 1) 4 days stay 0 times room cleaning 2) no change of towels 3) nobody took out garbage, we need to buy garbage bags as well 4) no extra toilet paper, we bought our own * people slammed the doors very loudly and heavily (not a property mistake, just info). Except that good sound isolation

    Location is great only 10 minutes to walk to the Sliema promenade. Good small shops and restaurants nearby. One Michelin restaurant as well. Room was good and clean, with TV, shower and AC. There nice and spacious kitchen, they have washing machine as well. Very friendly staff, who were very helpful in all cases! Over good experience and we most likely will come back and stay here again!

    There are steps down from the front door and there was a step into my bedroom. I'm currently having difficulty with my mobility so I found them a little difficult to manage.

    The accommodation was well situated for getting into Valletta and around the island; also it was easy to reach by public transport from the airport. My room was comfortable, clean and adequately equipped and the kitchen provided me with what I needed in terms of preparing simple meals.

    The soind isolation of the room is cheap, including doors and windows. We heard absolutely everything and it was a disconfort to sleep. The front door of the accommodation was broken and it needed to be forcefully closed, which created a noise that could move our room walls. The bed, altought I booked a double room with a double sized bed, we received a room with two sigle beds altogether.

    It is cheap and clean. The location is good for many activities.
