The location is in the center of the old city, convenient for travel, and the room is nice. The only trouble is that it is an affiliated hotel with a hotel not far away, and when checking in, you have to go to that hotel to register, and then come back to this hotel to check in, which is a bit inconvenient.

The hotel is in the center of Valletta. The service is very good, but the room is relatively small. There is a food street downstairs. The living functions are good, but it is a bit noisy at night.

The hotel service was beyond expectations, the Michelin restaurant downstairs, and the prices were fair.

We stayed for 3 nights at St John’s. We were very early for check in but that was no problem. We were made to feel very welcome and offered a glass of fizz and a chat with Richard who was very helpful explaining the local sites and attractions. Jennifer was on reception who was equally welcoming and very helpful. The room was on the top floor at the rear of the building. Very quiet and clean. Breakfast was at the main hotel a couple of doors down. Really lovely continental breakfast with lots of extras and options to have a cooked breakfast at extra cost. Food was fresh and lots of choice. Service was excellent. The location was fantastic. Central to all the sites and in walking distance of most things. Valletta is such a beautiful city. We really enjoyed our mini break. A few things to mention that could be improved on. The bed was very hard and we didn’t sleep as well as we should have. Also, we would expect bottled water to be supplied daily in the mini fridge but instead we got a jug of water. Which we didn’t drink. When we asked for bottled water at reception this wasn’t an issue and we were given some. But it would be much better just to supply them daily on the room clean. Overall a very positive experience excellent service and staff.

We have just come back from a nine night stay at this centrally located hotel. You check in and have your breakfast at the five star sister hotel Rosselli Ax Privilage a couple of doors down. There are many more positives than negatives: - the location is fantastic and so convenient to get anywhere in this amazing city from here. - all the staff we encountered were lovely - polite and friendly. - a special shout out to Katho and the breakfast team - they made our stay very special - they were all brilliant - a very big thank you to them. - breakfast was good and varied with plenty of choice. - being so central noise is potentially a problem - especially live music on a weekend - didn’t bother us to much but I could imagine in summer if you don’t want to close your windows or doors it would be. - the room was spacious and lovely. It was cleaned very well by housekeeping but had a couple of maintenance issues - leaking shower and light switch not working. - also very limited storage - two small drawers for nine nights is not enough. That said great staff and brilliant location.

The St. John is a quaint boutique hotel in a perfect location. Despite being located on a lively street with several restaurants and bars, the rooms are very quitet. The rooms are very well appointed with nice amenities, the bed is very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. A lovely breakfast is served in the Grain restaurant at the Rosselli sister property.
