Orbis Boutique Studios by Holi

The room and its view were even better than we’d expected. It was newly renovated, everything inside felt new, and the kitchen had all we needed. I asked for a particular top-floor room with a view and got exactly that. The view was amazing. We booked through their site about 2-3 weeks before arriving, and the team were very responsive and hospitable from the start. On arrival day, they let us in early to leave our luggage so we could explore Malta before check-in. The owner emailed after our first day to ask if all was well or if we needed anything. Those little things matter a lot. They also let us stay a bit past the usual checkout time and store our bags again, so we didn’t have to carry them around the city. From beginning to end, everything was perfect. This was one of my best hotel or apartment rental experiences, and it really added to our time in Malta. Great work, Orbis and Holi, and thanks for everything, Owen!

We spent a week here and had a pleasant stay. The central location made it easy to get around, with a large supermarket and a Lidl nearby. We rented a scooter and parking was easy, though there didn’t seem to be many spots for a car. The weekly price was very good for what we got. The hosts were responsive, communication was smooth, and they quickly answered my questions. The apartment had a well-equipped kitchen for cooking, plus useful things like a hairdryer and iron. The bathroom was clean and modern. I also liked that I could charge my phone with just my cable, even without the right adapter. A couple of things could be better. The beds had a big gap between them even when pushed together, which wasn’t very comfortable. We had booked an apartment with a balcony but got one on the second floor. We’d been told the apartments differ, but I hadn’t expected to face another building so directly. We kept the shutters down most of the time for privacy and couldn’t really enjoy the balcony. Some basic cleaning supplies would have helped as well. It was a comfortable, functional apartment in a great spot, with great service and a good price. Just a few small improvements could make the stay even better.

The apartment was spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. There’s a bus stop close by, and the location is good. The bed was a little uncomfortable.

For the price, this is a great little place. It was very clean, and getting in was easy. We used it as a base for travelling around the island, and the location worked really well. The only small drawback was noisy neighbours late at night, so I’d suggest bringing earplugs.
