Valletta Lucente Guest House

We recently stayed at Valletta Lucente Guest House for our 5th wedding anniversary and had the most beautiful stay. The guest house is charming upon arrival with an abundance of historical features, gorgeous high ceilings in the breakfast room and various murals on the staircase walls of the hallway. All of the staff were so welcoming when we checked in and kindly spent time showing us places of interest on the map, many of which we wouldn’t have known to have visited. We can’t express how stunning our room was! We stayed in the suite which was honestly the most beautiful hotel room we have ever stayed in. Our room was also decorated for our anniversary with swans and rose petals which was a lovely touch. The location is excellent, you step straight out of the guest house into the heart of Valletta and within minutes you can walk to all of the main attractions and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants on the stairs which had a lovely atmosphere. We also loved the ceramic shop within reception, all of which are handmade, and purchased a beautiful ceramic tile which is so unique and reminds us of our holiday. We highly recommend this guest house and will be booking to stay again next year as we plan more trips to Valletta.

We arrived fairly late in the evening to be greeted by fireworks over the harbour. This was a bonus not provided by the management, but Dorothy was ready for us in reception, greeted us warmly, and showed us to our room on the first floor. Beautifully and tastefully decorated and furnished, with towels artistically arranged, and fresh flowers to welcome us, we immediately felt pampered and ready for our mini-holiday. I can understand that rooms facing the street might be noisy; there are several bars right outside, though of course no traffic noise as virtually the whole of Valetta is pedestrian only. But our room which overlooked the tiny courtyard was very quiet. After the fireworks on the first night there was nothing to disturb us and we slept well in a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was interesting, with a variety of frittate, cheeses, fruit and cereals. I would have appreciated a choice of croissants or toast, besides the small rolls on offer, but it is a small kitchen and small breakfast room so I understand the limitations. Coffee could have been stronger! The building, like most of Vallettta, is a beautiful and elegant town house in typical Maltese limestone. A most relaxing environment for our three day stay. We are very grateful to Dorothy, Charles, their young daughter, and their staff for the welcome and hospitality. A note to other British guests who have not visited Malta before: electrical sockets are all British-style 3-pin so you don't need adaptors.

They truly excelled in every aspect, from their exceptional customer service and well-appointed rooms to the delightful breakfast offerings. The owners, Charles and Dorothy, were not only gracious but also incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The room we stayed in was a true gem, featuring a charming decor, a luxuriously comfortable bed, and efficient air conditioning. Immaculate cleanliness and an abundance of amenities made it a home away from home. The property's strategic location in the heart of Valletta, right around the corner from the main dining and attractions hub, made exploring the city an absolute breeze. To top it off, we had the privilege of staying in the Layla penthouse on the fourth floor, boasting not one but two enchanting terraces, one of which treated us to captivating views of the harbor.

O my god what is a room! “Layla” on the top floor with not one but two gorgeous terraces. Spectacular is the word. There are some stairs in the room and in between the terraces so this is not for people with disabilities. The hotel is located in the middle of everything. It’s by no means quiet but vibrant and fun with nice bars and fantastic restaurants literally just steps away. Breakfast is really good, the staff is super friendly and this is going to be a stay to remember. Enjoy!

My stay of 4 days were excellent! The room was really nice and cosy well decorated as the rest of the hotel. Good breakfast, perfect location at centre of La Valletta. Short distance from everything!The owners are really nice and friendly as the rest of the staff that was kind and polite. I will definetely suggest it. If i will be back in Malta i will come back here. Thank you for everything! Ciao from Sonia :-)

I cannot say enough great things about our visit. We were warmly greeted and offered beverages and fruit. The people caring for us were so helpful, caring, friendly, and attentive our entire stay. They genuinely cared about all of our needs and showed us a map of the city upon arrival. The location was perfect for walking the city and it was a short walk to the bus station. The rooms were so fun and the decor made me wish I could spend a night in every room. Breakfast was delicious. The food court and market were close and have affordable and delicious options for snacks and meals. I cannot wait to return and will continue to tell friends that this was one of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed!

Brilliant stay. We were left without a place to stay due to issues with an Airbnb but the owners of this boutique hotel were welcoming and so accommodating they managed to sort out a room when we arrived at the front desk and then rearranged some other things through the week so we could stay for 7 nights! Great rooms, well decorated and with good amenities and very clean. Small breakfast selection but lovely! All the staff were extremely friendly. We had a suite with a rooftop and a terrace - definitely worth the extra money for some outside space in the city! A great location in the heart of Valletta - everything on the doorstep!

Awesome location Awesome check in Awesome penthouse Awesome bed Two awesome sun decks Awesome shower Awesome decor Awesome air conditioner Awesome owners Awesome vase of flowers complimentary and delivered to our room Awesome continental breakfast Absolutely stunning place to stay

Excellent location, very helpful staff, warm and gracious owners, delightful rooms with personal touches. Our penthouse room, Layla, had 2 patios with views of churches. There is an elevator which is helpful. We could walk everywhere and enjoy a drink right outside. We’d definitely stay again should we come back to Malta.
