The Old Mint Apartments simply ticked all the boxes during our 12 day stay in Malta. Great location, modern facilities, stylish decor, friendly staff and a pleasure to stay in.

This was a great base to explore the history of Valletta and close to the bus terminal to access all the major sights of Malta. We found lots of good restaurants nearby and even though we planned to utilise the fantastically appointed kitchen could not find the ingredients to do justice to the setting. We had a minor problem with an appliance and this was fixed promptly whilst we were out sightseeing. The arranged car transfers were all on time, in clean well maintained cars with helpful drivers. This has been the most enjoyable stay we have had in a self catering apartment and the first that lived up fully to expectations from the photographs.

This modern apartment in an old building was light, open and very spacious. A fabulous place to stay. A beautiful kitchen fully equipped to stage a fancy dinner party. Two good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a bonus washing machine. Tastefully furnished with Air Con. Double glazed windows. A lift. A short walk to main shopping street and Sliema Ferry. Close to good restaurants.
A welcome retreat after a hot day sightseeing or shopping. The hostess Claire is a charming woman who cannot do enough to help you. Just say the word. Her welcoming warmth made us feel we were home from the moment we entered the door. Five star. Highly recommend. Sorry to leave

Families with young children |
We stayed a week here with younger family members including 2 small children. While the apartment is not ideal for small children we had no great problems. We did have to be careful with the staircase and breakable items with the children. The apartment was 5 star - great kitchen utensils and excellent appliances - oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine etc.
The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms very spacious. The showers were excellent.
There are 3 air-conditioning units downstairs and one each in the bedrooms. 5 Euros of electricity per day was paid for in advance with any additional power paid from the deposit. We used the air conditioners in the bedrooms each night and several days we used the airconditioning in the downstairs for most of the day. We ran over our allowance by only a couple of Euro.
We purchased most necessities from little shops in that block. There is a great baker downstairs (Joe) who makes fantastic pizzas and bread and also has cold drinks, basic groceries and ordered in fresh Maltese cheese for us. Around the corner was a small greengrocer who had good fruit and veg plus more basic groceries. Around the next corner was a small shop that sold only soaps, detergents etc.
There is a small lift so getting the bags up to the room and coming in and out was easy. There was also a wide staircase if you wanted the excersize.
The property had a very secure entry.
The apartment is located only about 2 blocks from the Valletta-Sliema ferry and about 2 blocks the other way (uphill) from the main streets of Valletta so it was ideally placed for sightseeing. The bus station is at the end of the main street (Republic Street) so taking the hop-on- hop-off bus or the local buses was easy.
If we ever make it back to Malta we would book this apartment again with no hesitation.
