We always ate well for breakfast. The owners had a pleasant chat with us. We liked the small size of the Guest house, the peace, the cleanliness, the comfortable bed and the wonderful bathroom. And a balcony with a view of the city and the harbor with colorful boats. We recommend it. We parked our rented car on the street below the room, it was always free.

Great location on the waterfront, beautiful view of the harbor, great spot to watch all the activity from the balcony - perfect with morning coffee or relaxing in the afternoon with a book. The rooms are very nice, with clean modern furnishings. Comfortable bed and really nice bathroom. This place is small but beautifully and efficiently designed for comfort. Small touches were appreciated - adaptors, tea kettle, bottle of wine and corkscrew, clothespins. They’ve thought of everything! The breakfast buffet was basic, with a small selection of hot dishes on request, and excellent cappuccino! Mariella and Roland were kind and helpful hosts. We enjoyed Marsaxlokk with its many seaside restaurants offering fresh seafood, and the daily market. Overall a very enjoyable stay, and I recommend Shipwrights Lodge without hesitation!

Nothing.

The superior double overlooking the harbour with a small balcony was fantastic. The bed, the shower, the bathroom, the tasteful decor, daily cleaning, fab location and towel replacement was second to none. One of the best guest houses we have stayed in Breakfast was excellent. Prepared fresh everyday and could be eaten in your room or in the breakfast area. We pre-ordered our breakfast the day before and Roland and Mariella brought it to our room at the time requested. There is so much choice of items and nothing was too much trouble. Quantities were plentiful and presented beautifully. Roland and Mariella were fantastic hosts, everything you need is here. Umbrellas for the beach, sun screen, a fridge in the room, air con, huge bed, balcony, electric plug adapters everything...... R & M were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble, lovely people. We hired a car whilst we were in Malta, parking opposite the guest house was easy and plentiful. Marsaxlokk is one of the prettiest places in Malta, the old traditional harbour alongside the modern one is an amazing place to stay within easy reach of the rest of the island.

There was nothing we didnt like

Definitely recommended!! A lovely family owned hotel with a lot of personal touch. Check in and check out is straightforward. The location is great, plenty of parking, several restaurants and a supermarket are in walking distance. The room is well equipped and has a great balcony with a sea view. Roland & Mariella did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. It was a pleasure to chat with them, they gave a lot of useful advise and helped us to plan our days in Malta. Thank you for the hospitality. Will make sure to book again in our next visit to Malta!!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Friendly, very kind and very helpful owners. Even before arrival I received thorough information with everything we needed to know. Mariella helped us book a taxi and even packed breakfast to us since we had to leave to airport at night time. Roland gave us many tips on where to go and how to get there. Nice atmosphere. Good breakfast. Beautiful and clean rooms. Comfortable shower/bathroom with body soap, shampoo and conditioner. There was even a diffuser for the air dryer! Wifi connection was fast. The location is just perfect right opposite to the harbour. I would book a room with see view next time.

We booked the accommodation for friends as a honeymoon. The communication with the The Shipwright's Lodge was absolutely excellent. Roland & Mariella was very frendly and kaind, ethey prepare a nice small surprice for our newlyweds . Many questions before answered:-) Many thanks again. Our friends were excited about the stay in The Shipwright's Lodge. They evaluate the accommodation very positively. They were very satisfied with the easy arrival and accommodation in the late hours, breakfast in the morning even without the possibility to choose the day before due to the late arrival last winter. The breakfast menu was very wide and it was possible to chois what they wanted. Breakfast was very tasty. Accommodation cosy clean, beautiful bathroom. Enought for couple for a few days. Accommodation in the center on the waterfront a short distance from the bus stop. nice sea and harbor view. Several restaurant nearby. Our friends recommend this accomodation

The location was fabulous, with a picturesque view of the colourful boats in the harbour from the terrace, and a quiet beach 4 minutes away on foot, and easy bus connections to Valletta and elsewhere. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from nearby, but nothing directly outside which was very good for keeping noise down in the evenings. The breakfast options were great, and we enjoyed the option of having it served in our room so that we could eat on our terrace. Roland and Mariella were very friendly, and they even had beach umbrellas in the lobby that we could borrow for free, which was a nice bonus surprise.

Somewhere to hang up wet towels and swimming things to dry would perhaps have been helpful, but we managed fine with the backs of chairs on the terrace.

Very good location, nice layout of the apartment, nice tereace, cozy vibe, all the necessities available, best value for the money.

Lack of diversity at breckfast (acceptable for such a small hotel) Small updates on the cleaning part can be done

The location of the property is superb for walking around Marsaxlokk and getting to its many restaurants and bars. The apartment is finished to a very high standard and is very clean. Beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are finished to a very high standard. The hosts, Mariella and Roland are very warm, kind people and extremely helpful.

The hosts have limited cooking facilities and whilst continental breakfasts are reasonable the cooked breakfasts are not that great, sorry.

Our hosts, Mariella & Roland always provided the best service for us. They reacted very fast and in a helpful manner to every request arised on our side. We received perfect breakfast suited to our needs, the room was cleaned every day and well equipped, the guest house is located just the opposite side of the harbour, 5 minutes walk to a confectionary shop, bus stop, cafe, resataurants, etc. The guest house is one of the best we ever stayed in. Highly recommended place to stay!

Other guests were loud for us sometimes.
