Great position right on the main road across from the ferry to Valetta nice restaurants everywhere. The apartment has two bedrooms one with an ensuite with washer and dryer. The place is a little tired but very functional. We really enjoyed our stay
The host was fantastic. Location was close to everything, ferry and bus across the street, many restaurants within a block Unit was clean, kitchen had everything you needed to prepare your own meals. Bed was very comfortableâŠwould recommend this for long to short stays.
We chose the apartment because it was central to the restaurants, shops and ferry to Valletta. It was absolutely perfect. We were within 5 minutes of many, many excellent restaurants and my wife was delighted there was a Marks and Spencerâs on our doorstep.
The apartment itself was also excellent. The rooms were spacious and balcony overlooking the harbour was a wonderful place to sit and have an early evening drink before heading out.
A big thank you to Paul who helped us make our stay in Malta a most enjoyable experience.
Spacious property in an excellent location. It really is only a couple of minutes walk from shops, restaurants and the (10 minute) ferry across the harbour to Valetta. Apartment is on the second floor but there is a lift if required.
Perfect base for exploring intriguing Malta and Gozo
This 2-bed condo in Sliema was home for a week in August 2023, providing perfect lodging steps from the waterfront with its many dining and touring offerings. You can view that waterfront from the balcony, fine for relaxing before heading out to see this intriguing country. The owner provided excellent support in enjoying the condo and airport shuttles, making our arrival easy. There were no problems with the condo, though there were a couple internet outages, which were city-wide and quickly resolved. We used the hot tub, which is perfect after a day of touring. Thereâs a laundry in the in the condo. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for preparing and enjoying meals. Supplies can be purchased at the Spar just a couple hundred meters away; more are found in The Point shopping center, also a short walk away. While we took breakfast in the flat, we otherwise found excellent restaurants around the country. One special restaurant is the Fontanella Tea Garden in the old walled city of Mdina. Transportation from the flat was very available by boat, as well as by Uber, cab, and bus. We were easily able to get to the ancient temples all over Malta and Gozo. Most can be accessed on demand, but you MUST purchase your tickets to the Hypogeum in advance. We took an organized tour for the Ä gantija Temple, with its more complex logistics. We give the highest rating for this condo, which made our visit to Malta a great success âwe hope to enjoy again soon. Thanks!!
Paul was good at replying to our communications. We didnât get any check-in details though, luckily the taxi firm he uses knew his âphone number and could get the keys for the apartment. We still had to contact Paul for details of how to leave the apartment at the end of our stay.
The apartment, where do I start - we knew from the photos that it was quirky, but the reality was something else. We were 2 couples so we booked because it had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 sofas. But hey, no! One sofa had completely disappeared!
The snooker table had become a pool table which has seen better days. The dining chairs had been recovered twice and had been patched up with tape. The television was held up by a speaker on one side and a small table on its side plus a book. There were no instructions for it and we couldnât make it work. The round cushion on the floor surrounded by net curtains was in front of the air conditioning unit. There are several drawers in the bedrooms that couldnât be used because there were no knobs on them. Some wiring and sockets were probably dangerous because they were hanging off the walls.
The kitchen was fine and there were plenty of utensils and crockery. The beds were comfortable although some of the pillows could do with being replaced. The location was the best thing about the apartment, close to the water, the ferries, the buses and restaurants & shops.
La struttura rispettava a pieno la descrizione riportata nellâannuncio, a parte per 1-2 cose.
La posizione della casa Ăš ottima data la vicinanza al mare e per la vita notturna.
La casa era quasi perfetta, purtroppo abbiamo trovato delle lampadine fulminate, che sono state sostituite tempestivamente il giorno stesso della segnalazione, e il tavolo da biliardo presentava dei tagli su tappetino, ma per il resto la casa era perfetta.
Consiglio vivamente a tutti di soggiornare in questo appartamento, non solo per la bellezza ma soprattutto per le gentilezza e la disponibilitĂ del proprietario di casa
Ideal apartment - convenient, clean, quiet and comfortable.
Excellent communication before and during the rental. Airport pick-up and return (organised by owners) was inexpensive and efficient. Apartment is spacious, very well situated (close to everything) and well equipped. Thoroughly recommend it - thank you!
The location of the apartment is perfect, plenty of shops and restaurants around - easy access to the ferry to Valletta and tour buses too. A nice view from the side of the balcony. The apartment is quite rustique but very comfortable, and the pool table is great for some post-touring relaxation. Would definitely stay again but hopefully arrive earlier, the owners kindly met us in the early hours because of a delayed flight!
This is the place to stay! Itâs as advertised.
The owner is a great, not only is he quick to respond, he also help with a solution we had with our reservation. The check-in is the most complete and thorough Iâve experienced. Itâs starts with his son Nathaniel, he walked us through their check in process, presented a book with information about the apartment plus restaurants and places to see. The location is less than 5 minutes to the busses and ferries, and some great international/ethnic restaurants are at your doorstep on the promenade. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Malta!
Siamo stati ospiti in questo appartamento per una settimana e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Splendida la Jacuzzi cosĂŹ come il biliardo, tutto trovate in buone condizioni tranne per alcuni danni che altri ospiti hanno arrecato. La casa ha davvero tutto fra cucina, utensili, lavatrice e asciugatrice, anche se non tutte in ottime condizioni.
Proprietari molto disponibili. Da sottolineare lâottima posizione dellâappartamento, circondato da negozi e supermercati e vicinissimo alla fermata del bus che porta in tutta lâisola!
Really pleased I chose this apartment - we all enjoyed staying in Gold!
Three of us (three adults) stayed in Gold in June 2019. We found the apartment to be spacious, comfortable and the pool table was a great source of amusement for the boys and me. As advertised, the property is perfectly situated very close to bus stops, ferries, restaurants, shops etc. The balcony is of a reasonable size and gives good views of the water and the local hustle and bustle; the view from the roof is even better because it opens up the view even more. I found Paul and Josanne to be very easy to talk to/deal with and if I return to Malta and choose to stay in Sliema again, I will go for Gold.

Sauber, groĂzĂŒgig, originell, gute Lage
Siehe oben. Es gab zu Anfang Probleme mit der Heizung, aber Paul und Nathaniel bemĂŒhten sich rasch um Abhilfe. Wohnung ist weitlĂ€ufig, sauber, alles notwendige vorhanden. Lage prima, ganz in der NĂ€he der FĂ€hre nach Valetta und von zahlreichen Bussen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ganz in der NĂ€he.
Not really as described and not suitable for two couples.
We selected the apartment based on the description and photos provided. We were two couples travelling and booked apartments in many cities to accommodate two couples with bedrooms similar and two bathrooms. The description for the second bedroom said the two single beds could easily be converted to sleep a couple. When we arrived the bedding had not been configured even though we had requested the bedding to be reconfigured.The owner arranged for the beds to be reconfigured which was not an easy task! It resulted in one side of the bed being against the wall and the removal of a chest of drawers from the bedroom. The second bedroom and bathroom are very small and much more suited to a family with young children. The property included a pool table and when we arrived there was one cue with no tip and very little chalk. The owners did arrange delivery of more cues and chalk. The towels, sheets and pillows were of poor quality. The owners arranged for four new pillows to be purchased and delivered and for more towels and the sheets to be replaced. The replacements were not much better quality than the original linen supplied. The wifi did not work which the owners did do their best to resolve. Finally wifi provided on the third day. The lounges double as sofa beds and are not very comfortable to sit on. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked with cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils and dishwashing detergent was provided. An allowance of 14kwph per day of electricity is included. We were reluctant to use the AC even though it was hot in the apartment as we were concerned about the electricity allowance. We were four adults who were very conservative with the use of electricity and the average we used over five days was around 10kwph per day. If we used the AC more we feel we would have certainly exceeded the allowance. Hot water in each bathroom needs to be heated for around half an hour before use and then turned off otherwise the electricity usage will be exceeded. The apartment is in a great position and close to the ferry to Valletta, local buses and great restaurants. The owners were extremely responsive and professionally dealt with the issues. Not an ideal apartment for two couples but great for a family with children.
All members of the family were raised from a young age in the hospitality sector, and so greeting guests does not only come natural but is also a pleasure. It is always with pride to receive reviews which continue to verify that little extra touch in our services, and this helps us to aim even higher and better next time around.
Sliema is a vibrant area, but this area in particular is the heart of the city. Just across the road from the ferry boats, the tourist buses, and the route buses, you really are right where you want to be. Equally important is the fact that the street is a pedestrianized road, now dotted with little cafes, restaurants, shops, boutiques, supermarket, malls, etc. it is a joy when you step out of the door and find yourself in the midst of happy people going about their business, all with a smile on their face as if this place compels you to be on the brighter side of life. Sitting out in the balcony, just smelling the aroma of fresh coffee coming up from the cafes below, or that mouth-watering smell of something just baked fresh in the early morning just makes for the start of a great day. The rest is up to you..... and that is just the morning. Gold is south facing, and thus receiving natural sunlight for most of the day; well insulated and so neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. To us, and hopefully to you as well....this is just perfect.
We like to call Gold a fun place because whether you're enjoying a beer at the small bar and playing a game of pool with your staying friends, or else a couple, romantically enjoying the jacuzzi in its private alcove, makes us stand out. We don't aim for standardization, our goal is being different, unique, and unlike others....and that's what holidays should be all about.
