The 3Cities Auberge

This boutique hotel is an absolute delight . The accommodation oozes charm , quality and authenticity in every way. The rooms are tasteful and immaculately designed to reflect Maltese culture and the location is amongst the local housing so one gets a quiet and genuine sense of sharing the real world of Malta not just seeing tourist hotspots. Nothing is too much trouble for Michael and Annette and we had a sense of sharing their home. An oasis of calm and understated good taste: one of the best places we have stayed.

Annette and Michael are fantastic hosts, and give you a very warm welcome into their home. They are always on hand to help with advice or answer any questions you may have. Breakfast is personally served by them and is always fresh with locally sourced produce (amazing flavours). Rooms are beautiful with everything you’ll need for your stay. Including complimentary drinks! Very nice touch. I would highly recommend, one of the best places I’ve stayed at in Malta. Plan to return at some point. Tips for other travellers So many things to see and do within this area, including markets, history, beaches etc… also the ferry to Valletta stops a short stroll away so many choices and places to go. Some very good restaurants nearby but would recommend you try as very personal taste.

We echo all of the other positive comments made as they are spot-on. Annette and Michael offer an exquisite and authentic experience which immerses you into the unique charm of a medieval Maltese guest house as though you've travelled through time. Attention to every detail and flawless presentation. You will also enjoy the separation between the guest rooms as this enhances both privacy and quiet. Sleep comes easy in the Auberge. Food, complimentary beverages, stunning Grand Harbour views. Deserves a 6th star. Tips for other travellers As everyone has different needs and desires be clear to your hosts as they sincerely wish to assist you in tailoring your stay to your liking. If your stay is short be sure to do your research as there is plenty to do on this relatively small island and many modes of transport including buses, various taxi services and ferries. Off-season car rentals are inexpensive however driving in Malta is to say the least, challenging. Make Gozo a must as it has a charm of its own.

We had an incredible time staying at the 3 cities auberge for a week! The bedrooms, communal areas and outdoor areas are stunning as can be seen on the pictures. It is located in the heart of the historic centre, opposite Valletta and offers the real historic Maltese experience. It is only a short bus trip away from Valletta Centre (about 15 mins) or 10 mins by ferry. Both ferry and bus stations are 1-2 mins away from the auberge. You can also enjoy lots of nice restaurants in the harbour, again only a short walk away. Annett and Michael are so nice and friendly and very dedicated to their guests. We highly recommend the auberge! Laura and James

The auberge/inn is in a beautiful, quiet residential neighbourhood with amazing rooftop views of Valletta and the Grand Harbour; we sat on the multiple roof patios, a lot! Just a short walk down the hill and you are on the waterfront and marina with a regular ferry to Valletta (only when you feel like you must go there). We spent most of our evenings near to our 'home' base and had excellent seafood and Italian meals overlooking the marina. Speaking of food... the breakfast each morning was delicious; plentiful, changing daily, and so fresh! Our room, Room d'Aragon was stunning, as is the entire property; all original features sympathetically restored with the addition of all the modern amenities. The most beautiful accommodation we've stayed in. From beginning to end, our 8 day stay in Malta was made so special, in every way, by Annett and Michael. Their customer service is impeccable and we were spoiled.

Dear Annette+Michael Sorry It has taken some time to write you a review, we have honestly just been trying to find the kindest words possible! Annette and Michael greeted us at a silly time in the morning and were more than happy to give us a full tour, take our luggage and offer us water. We were already blown away at the amazing Architecture of the place. So so beautiful. We were able to leave our door unlocked at all times and felt comfortable enough to do so. (And if you are Scottish, this isn't something we would usually do!) In the morning, Annette and Michael (I don't even want to say hosts, because they were more like parents or friends for the week) overloaded us with AMAZING breakfast which was a change to our usual, cereal or nothing. George now looks disappointed every time I hand him a banana in a rush (Thanks guys!) They never sent us out without suncream, a hat and sunglasses or a recommendation of somewhere to go. George and I really bonded nicely on our holiday and it really helped to be so comfortable in where we were staying. Michael and Annette even invited us to join them for a drink, hearing lots about their interesting lives and even meeting their Canadian friends who were fab! We were shocked that the Drinks in our room were free as this is a first for us haha! They even decorated for my 21rst birthday and got me a beautiful card (and honeymoon card) with some gorgeous wine, this made me tear up as I really felt like I was staying with family on my birthday ❤️ We cannot express to them, how great full we are to them and wish we had gone out for a dinner with them before we left, as it was great to just chat to them. They even paid for a taxi to the airport for us, which was so great as they were only willing to take us 4 hours before our flight. I really really cannot express how much these people have beautiful souls and hearts. THANK YOU! Mr&Mrs Goddard
