Maleth Inn

After reading only good reviews we were surprised about the many problems we ran into here. Admittedly not everything could be helped, but some were to do with bad maintenance. We had a leaking washbasin outlet, which made the bathroom floor wet. This was repaired after 2 days. Later, when it started raining it also rained in the bathroom, so again a wet floor (buckets didn't catch it all) and it made the place feel damp. The sofa/bed was very uncomfortable as a sofa, mainly because it was busted with some wood sticking in your back in one place. One evening we woke up with a shock because of the fire alarm. A guest was cooking and set it off. He was struggling to turn it off after he got instructions through WhatsApp from the owner. Other guests all came out if the rooms not knowing what to do. Not the owners fault of course, but the owner was never on the premises, so when there are problems, you have to WhatsApp the owner for answers. Sometimes the water pressure was so low that we hardly had any water. The owner told us to turn the electric of and back on to make the water pump work. On the upside, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had a great roof terrace with a nice view. The television had many international channels. The cleaner is very friendly. The location is good, but Rabat is small, so most places are central and near Mdina.

We had a great stay at the Maleth Inn. It's in a perfect position, a stone's throw from the main gate of Mdina and also just around the corner from the main street of Rabat. The room is lovely, it was very helpful to have a kitchen when staying with our baby and it was nice to be able to step out into the little terrace/balcony in the morning and see the world go by. The owner was lovely and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
