Wonderful
Perfect location next to the 'Caravaggio' church. Beautiful bedroom in building with many vintage findings. Excellent breakfast: choice of traditional English or Continental, but they also serve omelets if that's what you prefer. Minutes walk to bus station and (with elevator) to harbor for ferries to Gozo and Sicily (we took the one to Marina di Ragusa, which includes bus to Ragusa). With the many frequent and inexpensive Malta bus services (simple debit card check-in) we stayed at Luciano's for our complete trip in Malta while touring both the East and West side of the island, and Gozo.
A great improvement would be if Luciano's decides to add a bar on the top terrace with great city views.

Excellent location. Very friendly staff at the restaurant and the food was delicious. Appreciate the breakfast and the discount for guests. Like the quirky decorations and vibe
Room was musty. Also no usual hotel services. We had to leave the hotel early in the morning to catch a ferry. Elevator was not available as the entrance to the hotel is through the restaurant which was not yet open

The location was fantastic. Everything was a walking distance away from the front door. While there was never anyone at the reception desk, the wait staff in the restaurant facilitated everything that we needed on our stay. That seemed to be the process, and it worked out well.
The beds were lacking. You need to bring your own toiletries.

The location was great with easy access to everything in Valletta and also the rest of Malta being only minutes from the bus station and Gozo High Speed Ferry. Hotel and staff were excellent. Couldn't be better.

Disappointing
The location is phenomenal
The staff doesn’t care about the guests at hotel! They are there to run a restaurant. They act like they are doing you a favor. The pre paid breakfast is awful. They only give you two choices. We were there for 8 days and had to eat the same thing every time. When they served you coffee you ask for extra sugar and they never did bring it in 8 days of asking for!!

The location is central and within walking distance to many attractions.
1. The Co-Cathedral is across the street and the bells ring every hour. I did not sleep well. 2. The heating unit was not in a good place to heat the entire unit. When downstairs I was cold. When upstairs is was comfortable…but there were no windows and the lighting was dim.

The location is perfect!!! Sophie was amazing - she helped make our stay incredible!!!
We traveled with our 82 year old parents so the stairs were difficult for them. Sophie was amazing and made sure they had a room that was easily accessible from the elevator

The staff was very nice and the location was in the middle of the center.
There was no window and poor air conditioning. It felt quite claustrophobic for me. There is no elevator since it's an old building.

Spacious, comfy and always love a kettle & fridge. Location was fantastic. Sonya was an angel and packed a breakfast to go (as I left @ 5am) and arranged for early morning taxi and carried my bags for me.
bedroom near stairwell and noisy

This is not a boutique hotel, the room was poor, cramped shower room, lack of toiletries, no tea/coffee facilities. Staff poorly trained, room access via unsafe steps. Very noisy in the early hours. There is a lot more bad issues.

Disappointing
The location was convenient to Valletta sites. Breakfast was generous and good. The wait staff in the restaurant, where we ate the included breakfast and most dinners, were wonderful. The room was air-conditioned.
The photos and descriptions on the website are very misleading. It claimed to have a roof patio with beautiful views. It has views but it is piled high with junk and broken furniture, large propane tanks (with piles of cigarette butts nearby). Even the photo with the booking confirmation that showed twin beds that we asked for, was not the room or bed they tried to give us. We had to insist on being changed. Our room was windowless and next to the reception desk in the un-airconditioned lobby. It was supposed to have a view onto the inner courtyard but the 'window' was only a strong shuttered hole with no glass. Other than the restaurant, there was no place to sit and relax - not room, lobby, or rooftop.

Poor
The AC worked.
Where to start? First there is NO RECEPTION. The staff at the restaurant is expected to also be the reception but with no service. If you need to leave your luggage, you will be told to “hide” it behind the reception desk which has no attendant and hope it isn’t stolen. We were also told they close at 10pm, so if you have a late flight you are basically screwed. The AC turns off in the middle of the night. The church next door continuously has bells ringing throughout the night. The removable shower head didn’t stay in place and hit me in the head. The hot water does not last so two people cannot take a warm shower back to back.

Location was very nice
The hotel is inside of a restaurant so my room was full of kitchen smell . The smell was very strong and it made impossible for me to stay .
