Highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Room is very modern , clean and spaces. Very good location . About 10mins Uber to Valletta and 25mins uber to Mdina. 15-20mins to airport depending on the traffic. 10 mins walk to the ferry to Valletta ( €3 pp) . Plenty of good restaurants and happy hours for drinks around the area.
The best 3-star hotel I have stayed at! Absolutely nothing to pick on. Great location, good standard of facilities, always clean and tidy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Special thanks to Niko who made us feel very welcome upon check-in - his service was exemplary.
Picobello clean room. Very friendly staff. Good quality breakfast.

Great location, close to promenade, walking distance to Valletta ferry, heaps of restaurants and cafes nearby.
Room was functional, including fridge which was actually cold - so hard to get in a hotel room!
Breakfast was basic but plentiful, staff friendly. Parking nearby is an issue (the hotel shares a carpark with a sister hotel, but it was full, so we had to take our chances on the street.
Wi-fi in room was good. Recommended.
Room was very clean, although we did not have a view from our room, though it did the job as it is in an ideal location just off the strand near hundreds of restaurants and the marina. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet was great. View from the rooftop pool area was amazing.

The hotel has only recently been refurbished so everything is new. All I hope is that they maintain the new fittings as it looks great now.
Breakfast was good and plentiful so no complaints there.
Location is great, right next to Ponsonby bus stop which is served by the TD13 airport bus. No need for expensive transfers as it is €3 each and as quick as a taxi.
Overall a great stay, would happily go back.
The hotel was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was very good. It was set back from the busy road which was good as no traffic noise could be heard at night. It was in a central location with plenty of eating places nearby and just a 10 minute walk to the ferry crossing for Valetta. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Malta.
Lovely modern room and shower. Spotlessly clean and refreshed every morning. Spacious, fridge, safe, tea and coffee. Breakfast plentiful. Staff helpful and courteous.
Warning hotel has no bar but rows of bars and restaurants within walking/stumbling distance.
Our stay at Alavits was perfect. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly and always very pleasant to chat to each day.
Our room was absolutely perfect!
Great size and great amenities. Perfect for a family and lived the rooftop pool with a great view over Malta.
We were so happy during the entirety of our stay. 😊😊
Hotel in a very convenient location for sightseeing and restaurants and bars but up a side street so a bit quieter from the main road. Clean and modern hotel, room very good. Breakfast very goid, lots of choice.
Loved our room 1307 loads space, breakfast was just right.
Great location, near ferries, restaurants etc
Pool seemed a bit to chlorine and nice bar, when it was open
Nice staff all round, will be back but must have same room.
