Blanc Boutique Hotel

I booked this hotel for a surprise birthday holiday for my partner. We arrived well within the check in times to find there was nobody there and the door locked, by some good fortune (For us at least) a gentle shove on the front door and the broken lock lets you walk right in. If it hasn’t been for this we would have been unable to get in & left on the street, with no one in the building at all I managed to find a phone number, I called and a male answered, after sending us to a dirty, unprepared room we got sent to our room. I booked a room with a hot tub, which is actually a spa bath, when you walk in the smell hits you first, an overwhelming stench of damp, there was black mould everywhere. Room is filthy, clearly hasn’t been cleaned properly in some considerable time, no tea/coffee, mugs or glasses, safe wasn’t screwed into anything and didn’t work. Spa bath is inches away from a 6ftx5ft clear window with no blind that can be overlooked from the balcony above. Very poorly maintained, plaster flaking off walls, paintwork is heavily marked & filthy. Hot water is hit & miss to if you get any. No staff except if your lucky for an hour in the morning where a intern will make you toast for breakfast on request, but can’t guarantee there will be anyone there. Buzzing wifi extender on the roof with bright green light. Bugs and mosquitos everywhere, and to top it off a black fabric seat covered in what could only be others “bodily fluids”.Only positive is the location!

For a 4star guest house I expected a little higher standard. Room had defected mouldy walls where the stain has spread onto the cushion head board. Toilet was on the opposite side of the shower room so completely separated. No toiletries provided as mentioned on what's included.. we had to ask ourselves. Air conditioning was noisy so had to switch off in the night then switched on again when temperature went up. TV didn't function. Kettle plug was too short. No safe box. Not enough natural light so a little dark. Breakfast was super simple and had only strawberry jams with brown or white bread. Breakfast staff were very friendly inexperienced but nonetheless very helpful. Location was perfect. Walking distance to amenities and pick up points. Overall good stay... but owner should take notes of the comments coz it looks like the mould problem had already been mentioned a year ago. Se I proprietari non parlano inglese.. devono imparare e capire cosa commentato I loro ospiti! È Importantissimo!

Excellent customer service by the staff at the guest house. Comfortable room and good location for local attractions and transport. A very good breakfast with anything you wished for freshly cooked. Just remember that this is a guest house and not a hotel as such so it is not 24 hour service.

My mother and I stayed here for three nights. The hotel is gorgeous and clean. The linens are premium and the breakfast is delicious. The attendant George went out of his way to take care of us. I highly recommend this place even with its minor flaws. Pros: great location, clean, modern and very comfortable. Cons: bed a little uneven, lack of electrical outlets, high toilet (for a small person) and glass door shower that opens into room aka no privacy. That being said, the pros way surpass the cons. It’s very comfortable and luxurious. You will be happy here.

Excellent hotel and very well run by a very friendly and proactive manager George. Great loation and nice breakfast , beautiful rooms and a very pleasant stay

Super location, friendly staff and a beautiful hotel. Highly recommended!

A nice relaxed vibe about the hotel. friendly and welcoming. Sliema is a good base, just across the water from Valetta. First time in Malta. A charming little island.

The hotel is pretty, small and a good location but the are are lot of issues! Avoid room 7! The mattress is awful and so uncomfortable, like sleeping on wood! There is also a luminous green internet light almost right above the bed and it lights the entire room! No chance of getting to sleep - we even tried putting a blanket on top of our heads! You also have to pay for water, Euro 2.50 per bottle in a country where you can’t drink the tap water! Breakfast is basic and you sit with other guests on a round table - pot luck that you arrive when there is space at the table! The receptionist is as helpful as she can be and we did contact her about the bed etc but it’s out of her hands. We chose this boutique hotel for a romantic night away - never again! Avoid room 7!!!!

Really comfy small boutique hotel. If your used to large breakfasts and big hotel style service, this isn’t the place for you. The breakfast is continental style in a small dining area, although I took tray to my room every day without a problem. The rooms are lovely and the hot tub is a great addition. Cecelia the manager is great and happy to help with any issues. Lovely neighbourhood once you walk around the backstreets. I would definitely stay again.

fantastic rooms and very helpful staff.
