Maria Roza for 2 nights in November

We stayed at Maria Roza for 2 nights - we had a spacious room with a traditional Maltese balcony. Large bathroom, tasteful interior, comfortable beds. However, the romantic balcony has single glazing and you can hear absolutely everything from the street outside. We were given another room without the slightest problems the next day. All in all, incredibly nice staff, very nice place, beautifullly restored old building, stunning backyard (court) to sit or have breakfast. Breakfast is also absolutely great! 10 out of 5 stars.

Dear Michael,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Maria Rosa, from the spacious room and traditional Maltese balcony to our beautiful courtyard and delicious breakfast. It’s wonderful to know that our staff made a positive impression and that you appreciated the charm of our restored building.

I’m sorry to hear that the noise from the street disturbed your initial experience. On the day of your arrival, there were finishing works at a neighboring house that contributed to the noise level. We understand that this may have impacted your comfort, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. I’m glad our team was able to promptly assist in moving you to a quieter room.

Your kind words and high rating mean a lot to us, and we’re grateful for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even more peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Best regards,
Donald & Sandra

Had a lovely stay

Had a lovely stay. I enjoyed the quiet area but close enough to walk to things. Breakfast was delightful and my room was very nice. I like the idea of being able to contact someone but also feeling some freedom of coming and going as if you were in a rented apartment. You are provided keypad codes so a key isn’t necessary and you can be all paid up in advance so you can easily leave on check out day with no problems. I took the Fast Ferry from Gozo and you can easily get taxi, Bolt or bus to this area. Bolt came right to the door. Very convenient. If you want to stay in a beautifully renovated boutique hotel in Victoria I would recommend it.

Wonderful hotel in excellent location…

Wonderful hotel in excellent location near to the square with restaurants. Spacious room with comfy beds. Breakfast in the courtyard each morning offered a good choice and the offer of scrambled eggs/omelette too. We also had a Pilates lesson which was excellent. Donald is a very attentive host responding quickly to any questions. Highly recommended.

This was my first trip travelling alone. I stayed for 4 days, and it was so refreshing. Overall such a good an experience, and I returned home with new energy. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was very good as expected, nothing was missing and the vibe was always cozy and relaxed! A really nice B&B that lives up to the mindfullness and feng shui vibe it’s decorated to be, interior and exterior design included. Really friendly and helpful owner and staff. Communication through WhatsApp was very smooth. Travelling as a solo female the B&B had everything that one needed. It felt safe and secure, and definitely recommended if you want to stay where it’s not overcrowded or “touristy” and if you prefer relaxation over “busy vacay”. Time almost stood still and that’s in a good way!
Through the owner of Maria Rosa Suites, I booked a door-to-door transport at Mayjo Car Hire from Malta airport to the B&B, totally worth the money and so easy with a very friendly driver as well!

Nice hotel

Very nice stay in the heart of Victoria, closed to the citadelle and the bus terminal. Very quiet, clean and good breakfast.
A small remark concerning the AC: all the cold air is arriving on the bed, it should be a little far from the bed otherwise you freeze even if you put it at 24 degrees

Smart new hotel with lovely breakfast room and a great breakfast. Room was quiet and comfortable and everything worked OK. Short walk to the citadel, the main square and the bus station. Pleasant staff. We would stay again.

A great choice for a stay in Rabat

A beautiful space in which to stay - with elegant rooms and a comfortable bed. Very conveniently located in the old town for the main sights of Victoria (Rabat). The host was extremely helpful. The only reason for just 4 stars was that the balcony was a no smoking zone and the 'designated smoking area' (as described on Booking.com) was actually to stand in the street outside - with no cover and no ashtray.
