Superb !!!!! Two ideas: 1. Get proper corkscrews for the bar staff in the 'Blue Room'. 2. The breakfast clearing table (greeting table) by the door in the 'Breakfast Room' is VERY VERY untidy (maybe dirty) ....... this is disappointing.... because breakfast at Osborne is very good.

The Osborne is located in a quiet residential area of Valletta. Not far from the busy tourist district, it is a nice escape from the city BUZZ. There is a park very close by with beautiful views of the harbor. Restaurants and shops are minutes away. The hotel is clean and well-maintained. My first room was very nice, but I had to change because the TV didn't work. The 2nd room was relatively small but had everything I needed. Breakfast was exceptional and included Mimosas—a nice treat. The restaurant serves breakfast only. The pool area is nice, but there is no pool bar, as indicated on Expedia. The staff is amiable and helpful. The front desk clerks can help with bookings and directions. I would stay here again.

Best Hotel
Another excellent and thoroughly enjoyable stay. All of the staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The hotel was spotless and the food top rate. Michael is a credit to the Hotel and a real pleasure to meet and seek advice. Cannot wait till our next visit.

Had a lovely few days at The Osborne. The staff on reception go above and beyond with advice on what to do and booking transfers to airport and excursion ticlets. The breakfast is very nice with a lot of choice. Location is perfect base as in central Valetta so very close to waterfront and also bus station with buses that can take you anywhere for 2 euros. Rooms clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for a short stay in Valetta.

Really loved this hotel - reception so welcoming, great location for both Valetta and exploring Malta with busses and boats. I arrived via bus with a suitcase in the dark, and it was easy to find in about 5 minutes. Lovely breakfast and loads of bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms lovely decorated and bathrooms excellent.

I absolutely couldn’t fault it. This is a five star experience from a three star hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean. All of the staff were so pleasant and friendly towards guests and towards each other. A great breakfast menu and a spacious dining room. The bar was relaxing after a long day exploring

Just back from a week in Malta and stayed at the Osborne. Very handy location, close to the bus terminal, restaurants, sights, ferries to Sliema and the Three Cities. Check in was quick and easy, staff were helpful with any enquiries I had.

Lovely hotel
A really lovely hotel in the heart of Valletta. Extremely clean and very efficient staff. Very nice breakfast with varied choices. As is often the case with Hotels.com, my room had a horrid view of other windows and pipework but that is hardly anyone’s fault as someone has to have these rooms. I would definitely like to stay again.

Really feel like we couldn't have picked a better hotel for our stay, it was perfect. Great location, restaurants around the restaurant were lovely. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was brilliant, full cooked breakfast buffet despite expecting continental breakfast only when we booked. The outdoor pool is small but was quiet while we were there so it felt like our own private pool. Aircon in the room was very welcome as we stayed in July in 36 degree heat! The fridge in the room was also a useful addition so we always had cold water. The hotel let us check in an hour or so early and held our luggage for a few hours on the final day too. Honestly can't say enough good things about Osbourne, would thoroughly recommend, thanks for a great stay!

Very welcoming but avoid room 101 if you don’t want to woken up early by kitchen staff. Loads of eating places nearby which makes up for no evening meals at the hotel. Located ideally for local amenities. Bus depot about 15 minutes walk away. Hop on/off bus slightly longer.

I do not recommend this property bec it's very noisy. They have a bar, and they allow drunk people to speak loudly and disturb other people until 12 at night. Also, in the morning, there is a lot of noise from breakfast. The acoustics are horrible. I did not get any sleep at night because every hour there was some drunk moron in the hallway. The hotel is big, so there is bound to be drunk people drinking bottles of wine at the bar, and many groups, singing loudly without any consideration for other people. They should have some kind of policy on respecting other guests.

Dear Anna, Thank you for taking the time to share your views about your stay at the Osborne Hotel. Normally the hotel is very quiet and so is the bar. Rarely you do get the odd occasion where someone gets a little noisy, for which event we do have a policy, please do appreciate however that it is not easy to control a person that is drunk. If need be, when the person persists in being loud or gets violent, we also can involve the police, which in this case there was no need. Please do excuse us for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Brian Caruana General Manager

Response from Brian on 28 Oct 2021
Dear Tayomara, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. As per my telephone conversation with you as you have been advised by our outsourced technical team the AC did work and was at 21c. The ac system is set a particular temperature through our chiller that supplies service to 4 of our 6 floors as in most other hotels. We tended to all you requests both in the room and in general and our staff does their utmost to satisfy and tend to our guests’ needs. There might have been a misunderstanding but we certainly did not want to double charge you in anyway. Our buffet breakfast consists of over 40 items which are freshly prepared in the morning before and during breakfast opening hours and can assure you that its of the highest quality and will keep on improving on the good that we have. Thank you and kind regards, Brian Caruana General Manager
