Staff were really helpful in solving an issue outside of management’s control (construction drilling noise in nearby building), and moved us without delay. Fantastic property, very clean, exceptional balcony, large room, and a well-sized communal pool. Would recommend!

10/10 Exceptional! (52 reviews)
This is an excellent little hotel, that’s uniquely brought to life by its owners. As it’s small, the owners and their staff are way more attentive than would be possible in a large hotel, including giving tips on things to do and where to go to us Malta first timers. Zebbug itself is a small village, but bars and restaurants are a short walk away. Though the streets around the hotel are tight and the bolt/uber drivers we used occasionally struggled to find us. That said, the area is centrally located and a great base to visit places like Rabat, Mdina, Blue Grotto and Valletta (once we were more confident in directing the taxi drivers) . Highly recommended if you want somewhere with personality and hosts who genuinely care.
