A frequent business traveller to Malta, the Central Guesthouse was a great find. Great value, excellent accommodation and very good breakfast, which was included in the rate. Also a decent location, short taxi rides into Valletta, Gzira, Sliema and beyond. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The location of the guesthouse is great once you get your bearings! The rooms are very clean and have all the items you need. The beds were very comfortable but just a bit narrow for me personally. Overall I thought it was excellent.

Lovely big room. Fantastic breakfast and very friendly, helpful staff. Not too far to walk into Valletta, about 30 minutes or so, ( we didn’t manage to find the bus stop), but we were also able to get a taxi easily. Not many places to eat or drink in the vicinity.

What a great place to stay! Rooms were great, nice and clean. The air conditioning was strong and a very nice addition. Staff were so friendly, my friend and I did an excursion that we had to leave for early one morning and the kitchen staff offered to make us up breakfast to go. Very kind! Oh, and the food at the restaurant is delicious! Bueno pancakes are a must try.
