The British Suites

Lovely view of the harbour but our stay was spoilt by having no lift to the 4th floor and while a lift is being constructed I would suggest that you check it is completed before you plan to visit because it is like a building site and you are paying the full price while the work goes on. After our complaint about walking up 4 flights of stairs we were moved lower down with less stairs but with less of a view and no cooking facilities which had been originally requested. Any complaint to the management fell on deaf ears with no mention of a reduction.. It was only our persistence that got us a small refund. Our advice is to stay clear of this hotel until the work has been finished.

Hotel room was clean and comfortable with excellent views over the grand harbour. An enjoyable stay.

British Suites (not to be confused with the adjacent British Hotel) is a new hotel (as of Dec 27, 2017). The likeable manager told me my room had only been open for a couple of weeks. My room was clean, spacious and modern. There were a couple of free bottles of water and a small bottle of red wine inside my room. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator, 2 burner stove, pots/pans/dishes/silverware, coffeepot and microwave). The bathroom is modern and clean and the wifi works well. My room had 14 unusual, smallish windows (on one side of the bedroom) that latch open (note: Hotels.com got me and another guest the wrong rooms...I ordered "partial seaview" which is really the Grand Harbour view, but instead the only rooms available were the uninspiring "city view" type (which is a view of a few decrepit buildings a few feet away). Definitely get the harbor-view room (if possible, I suggest directly calling the hotel to book) since the view is amazing! The hotel is located only a couple hundred feet from the Grand Harbour and it faces the remarkable Fort Angelo! The bar/lounge/restaurants also face the harbor which is a breathtaking way to enjoy a tasty meal (by the way, the breakfast was pretty good too). Location-wise, British Suites is about a 5-7 minute uphill walk to the main streets called "Republic" and "Merchant". From there, you can walk to most of the tourist sites, including the outdoor main bus station (about a 15 minute walk). Overall, it was a great stay!
