Guest reviews for Block
"Excellent location and very lively, felt like a key point of attraction in the bay. Live music entertainment and decent breakfast too. Room was clean and comfortable as per described in the booking page."
"Swimming pool appeared to be closed at all times despite no warning."
"Our studio was spacious, modern and spotless. The king size bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The location is great, just a block away from the sea and restaurants and the bus stop. There is a lively bar with a great happy hour and good food. The staff are all extremely helpful We liked it here so much that we extended our stay from three nights to seven"
"Nothing"
"The room was spacious with a large balcony overlooking hillside and the roofs of other apartments nearby. Breakfast was delicious but not a buffet style so ordered from a menu. The staff were very helpful, particularly as my husband hurt his back and was brought back to the hotel in a wheelchair. Staff were on hand to help get him up the few steps into the hotel and they ensured we were able to get a meal from the kitchen that evening."
"Only being offered one drink with breakfast, coffee, tea or juice. We like to linger with a second coffee or a juice as well as coffee. We could have paid for a second but we'd rather have it included in the price. There was tea and coffee supplied to the rooms but not milk. When we asked for milk, we were told we had to buy it from a local shop. This seemed a bit mean and petty as we had a fridge in our room so a small jug of milk could have been supplied."
"Standard and spacious room, had everything required."
"More sunlight in the rooms. I had to switch rooms because the original room I was in had a window but it was at the far end of an alley that had no light whatsoever. It looked like nighttime during the day. So the team graciously allowed me to switch to a room that had a bit more light."
"The hotel feels very fresh, the premises are either new or fully renovated as of July 2025, no worn-out elements, no mold or stained towels. Great spot for such a remote location (keep in mind it's still a 3-star hotel tho)."
"The nightly live music is genuinely disturbing. You will not be able to fall asleep (we were all warned about it in the fint print, but didn't take it seriously -- which proved a mistake). They do finish around 11pm, but sometimes that is just too late."
"Great vibe, the bar serves great drinks and food. Location is quant and picturesque. I go often, as live in Malta and its always a great time."
"Aucun."
"Restaurant on ground floor, live music. Comfy bed."
"There wasn't a EU standard plugs."
"Excellent vibe for working and relaxing while traveling. Super friendly staff and good music. Very trendy decor and great food and bar."
"Aucun."
"Such wonderful fun and professional staff. Unusual concept with bar meals and entertainment most nights (but not too noisy). Smart rooms of different prices. Good position. We'll be back."
"Hard to find anything."
"I loved the refurbished hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, nice bar and location is great."
"There was not much ventilation in the room which affected my sleep; and Noise during the night due to disco downstairs."

Guest reviews
"The gentlemen to booked us in was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our room had a balcony which overlooked the harbour and was very beautiful both day and night. We had a great time."
"Excellent location very near the harbour in a quieter street. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Love the rooftop terrace with a view of the harbour. The bedroom, living room, kitchen were all well furnished and had everything we needed. Host was responsive and welcoming, checkin in checkout was quick and easy via the lockbox. We just parked in the big public parking area one street away so we didn't have to figure out whether street parking was allowed."
"Location is quiet, and we had the added bonus of being able to drop off our luggage early, as we landed that morning just after 10 am, the housekeepers were lovely and friendly. The apartment is well laid out, and we liked that it was lovely and cool, as the temperature outside was very warm! Air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom were quiet, which we both appreciated. Lots of added extras - including washing up liquid, loo rolls, toiletries etc."
Michael The Nautical Nook
"The apartment was very clean, modern, and had all amenities. It was easy to get in, and to obtain all the information we required from the host."
Antoinette 161 Marinello Apartment
"The location was really good and the apartment was great. Clean and well appointed. Not great for sitting and relaxing, but everything else was very good. We loved the town and the waterfront. Our host was as good as it gets - great information and very responsive to any text I sent him. I don't think we could have found a better stay."
"Close to the harbor, very very spacious, comfortable and clean"
"Very clean, conve isn't walk to the water and restaurants."
Smith THE OSiRiS
"The apartment itself is super nice, everything you need for a vacation. Washer and dryer were super handy. Located near a few small beaches and right next to a bus station to Valletta."
Tatiana 161 Maranello Court, Apartment 1
