Adults-only boutique hotel in Rabat, set in a former cinema
Accommodations
The hotel offers 7 individually styled rooms, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a tea and coffee maker. Many rooms feature a balcony overlooking the pedestrian street or a sofa for lounging. Superior suites provide extra space with a separate seating area and dining table.
Dining Experience
Two on-site restaurants serve a blend of Mediterranean and Chinese cuisine, with dinner available nightly. A complimentary breakfast is offered each morning, including a cold buffet of cheese, fruits, and cereals, plus a menu of freshly cooked hot dishes such as omelettes and BLT sandwiches. Guests can also choose a full English/Irish breakfast or a range of warm dishes like scrambled eggs and vegan sausages.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is located in Rabat, 8 km from Malta International Airport and within walking distance of the fortified city of Mdina. Cultural landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Roman Villa, and Malta National Aquarium are all reachable by a short drive or bus ride. Hagar Qim (9 km), the University of Malta (10 km), and Valletta Waterfront (11 km) are also close by.
Hotel History & Design
The building was originally a cinema, and this heritage is reflected in the high ceilings and spacious room layouts that are uncommon in boutique hotels. Guests consistently mention the quirky 1970s style décor, with some noting that certain furnishings show signs of wear. The hotel occupies a quiet pedestrian street, offering a peaceful stay despite central Rabat location.
Services & Guest Experience
Express check-in and check-out are available, and the staff (including owner Kelly) are noted for accommodating late check-out requests when possible. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms spotless, and key card access provides security. The restaurant area can be noisy in the evening due to its proximity to guest rooms, but the staff respond quickly to any maintenance issues.
