I stayed for a week at the Mike hotel recently and chose it as friends were staying nearby. I was a bit apprehensive about the location when I first booked it however it turned out to be a fantastic place to spend a week as the grand harbour is just five minutes walk from the hotel and has shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, plus there is a bus stop nearby. There is a convenience store just up the road which is open late and has all of the essentials you need. It's also a short walk from the hotel to the Valetta ferry which we used a couple of times.
We stayed in Suite 10 which has a terrace and separate living area and it was very spacious, clean and comfortable.
We loved the bed and how quiet the area is at night hence we slept very well during our stay. The bathroom with it's rainforest shower was wonderful.
Breakfast was served to the room each day and it was delicious and a great start to the day.
The staff were very helpful and friendly during our stay; thank you for the tip to visit Mdina - it was a beautiful place.
We used the buses to travel around Malta and it was easy to navigate our way around from here via Google Maps. Seeing other parts of Malta made us appreciate the location of this hotel even more as the island is quite busy and crowded but this area is quiet and peaceful.
The hotel is in a residential area and some of the streets and buildings look dirty and run down, however upon travelling around the island we discovered that this is normal for Malta.
