Reviews of Grand Arcanum Apartment 2 - Comfortable and Elegant

Big apartment, good AC, all must have amenities were present (cutlery, cleaning tools, iron, fridge, microwave etc.). The owner is very responsive and tries his best to comfort guests. Location is good enough - ferry to Valetta is 20 minutes away, bus station is around the corner (for those who use public transportation), parking spots are all around, however you need to be aware of narrow streets. Water front is 2 minutes away, you can find a lot of restaurants here. I've read some "negative" comments about the bell ringing next building, however we treated it as a free morning alarm to explore Malta :)

Unluckily it happened that we discovered a big red cockroach in the bedroom one evening:( Post discussion with the owner it seems that it rather rare situation, as periodical pest treatment is in place.

The apartment was very beautiful, with an amazing view of the harbour from the balcony and we even got to see the fireworks in Valletta from the terrace. It is situated close to the bus station (just a minute walk) that connects Senglea with Valletta, which was extremely helpful, because the trip takes 20-40 minutes (depending on traffic). We were given an adaptor and that was great since we only brought one and it really helped us. There is AC in the apartment, it was perfect considering the heat in July. Host was very helpful with directions on how to reach the apartment.

Just a mini fridge would be amazing, to be able to store cold water. Other than that, the property was absolutely perfect!!

Very nice appartement and excellent view

Top floor with very narrow stairs to have access to the appartement, the shower door (slide style ) was half broken and difficult to close or open it without the wheels of rail going out...very noisy at night, the apartment is great, good view...no AC on the bedroom, only on the living room, what can be a difficult to sleep at night...2 nights at this place and I didn't sleep much because of warm at bedrrom a d the noise on the street + the bell of the church...maybe to improve the owner could invest in some kind of sound insulation walls

The property is clean, the bus station is just 10 steps away, there's a sea view, and communication with the host was excellent — a perfect 10. I would recommend this accommodation to everyone.

It is a clean, well-equipped apartment. We were in topmost floor. This apartment in an old building with some limitations: steep stairs, some steps inside the appartement, only small window, which cannot be open, in the bedroom. At this price level this is acceptable, and the nice roof terrace with view is a big bonus. The bed was simple, but comfortable. Good location: very close to bus station (about 25 minutes ride to Valetta central), and restaurants, but only some small shops nearby. Silent neighborhood. Friendly and helpful host.

Nothing serious, just some minor things: there were not enough space in the wardrobe, some plates, spoons, bathroom shelves and towel bar or hook could have made everything perfect.

The mix up with bookings as the host had different info to my booking. This explains why the apartment was not 💯 ready with missing bed and bath linen. The host was insisting on moving us to a smaller room next day because of the mix-up yet I had rebooked the same apartment (was there a month before) and paid the higher amount for an apartment. Luckily, after he further investigated the matter it was clear that booking.com had actually upgraded the other client without informing the host. If I was not adamant we would have been moved to a smaller room yet we paid for an apartment.

The view was unbelievable ,the bed was comfortable and the apartment was very cute

The water wasn't that hot,the bath tub was very small and there was only one plague in the apartment. Also no refrigerator

The seize of the appartment was great. Nice view on the harbor. Nice to have a kitchen (only a cutting board was missing). Lovely soft bed. The only downside is having very little warm water. After 7 minutes in the shower the hot water ran out for the entire day… not fun to have a cold shower with shampoo in your hair at the end of a long day. 😅 The next morning it ran out again after 3 minutes… Also good to know the balcony is literally next to the church bells so you have an alarm for free.

Spacious, comfortable

Limited kitchen

Spacious, nice style. Near to everything you need.

The upper apartment has not got fridge and kitchen.

Nice property next to the bus stop and view of the harbour

Nothing

charming refurbished apartment . Roomy . Lovely big lounge and beautifully furnished. Two balconies one from lounge (with views of Birgu) and one from bedroom. everything you need for a short stay . Great position, close to water taxi for Valetta and Birgu easily walkable . Exceptional value for money.

bin with waste from previous guests left in the bathroom. No toilet paper on arrival but owner delivered some the next day. only sheets on bed - no extra cover available - felt cold with air conditioning on but hot if turned off . Towels were not great quality.

An amazing ,stylish and spacious apartment in a convenient location, with a wonderful view. The host was polite and very willing to help. Highly suggested place!!!!

The bell of the nearby church is ringing around 8 o clock in the morning.
