    Stylish room decor, access to rooftop bar and pool, eco-friendly features

    Street noise from nearby bars invades your peace at night!!! Glass bathroom doors lack privacy!!! An overhaul of the lighting controls would really enhance the experience!!!

    Good service offered, nicely decorated room with soap and a Maltese balcony, as for instance. Pastries, fresh fruit, and eggs - enjoyable breakfast...

    Beds were not very comfortable.

    delicious breakfast

    Recommend it for explorers seeking charm

    The breakfast, it was a good surprise with fresh orange juice and eggs cooked to order! Plus, we were treated to a lovely view from our balcony, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the neighborhood.

    It wasn't cheap but still within reason, considering the experience.

    gorgeous breakfast - a wide array of meals. nicely decorated and well-equipped rooms with an industrial modern style, balconies as advertised, as example, and attentive personnel. incredible location, 10 minutes' walk to royal opera house.

    Very small bathroom, very very small room.

    fantastic view
    freshly prepared breakfast
    excessive noise
    lack of privacy

    The room was stylish and comfortable, with plenty of space and a fantastic view of Merchant Street. The breakfast at the sister hotel was freshly prepared, a good start to the day.

    Room noise could be minimized for better comfort.

    amazing shower
    comfy bed
    hydration stations
    occasional noise
    tricky lighting

    I had a Superior Double Room with City View for three nights. The shower was amazing and the toiletries smelled lush! The bed was super comfy with great linen. Lighting was a bit tricky to figure out, but overall the room was stylish and clean. Only downside was occasional noise from outside, but I managed. The hydration stations were a cool touch too!

    really good breakfast

    perfect base to explore valuing the heart of the city

    My friend and I had an very nice stay, enjoying the lovely room and the really good breakfast at the Cheeky Monkey. The hotel's central location made it easy to stroll to nearby landmarks like St John's Co-Cathedral and the beautiful Upper Barrakka Gardens in just minutes.
