Do you provide parking facilities?

The hotel does not have its own parking space. You can look for parking spaces in the surrounding streets where you are permitted to park on white parking boxes only. There is a free public car park just 150 meters from the hotel. During the day this is mostly full, although spaces might become available when offices and shops close after 19.00. There is a paid multi- storey carpark 750m from the hotel just outside the City walls. This is large and usually parking spaces can be found there. It is recommended to choose this option over trying to park in the city’s narrow, busy streets.

You can stop at the Valletta Bus station, which is 7 minutes away on foot (550m). For more information regarding bus services in Malta, please visit www.publictransport.com.mt
