Great location for easy access to all the beautiful sites, shopping and dining. The rooms were a bit warm and the lack of a real shower made for a wet situation every time I used the hand show with there being no shower curtain.

The Osborne was a great stay in malta. Centrally located in Valetta, we found that it was very easy to get anywhere on the island with a short walk to the bus depot. There were many nice restaurants and activities nearby for the evening when we wanted to stay closer to the hotel. As for the room itself, it was very clean and comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and we found that we got great sleep as a result. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!

Superb !!!!! Two ideas: 1. Get proper corkscrews for the bar staff in the 'Blue Room'. 2. The breakfast clearing table (greeting table) by the door in the 'Breakfast Room' is VERY VERY untidy (maybe dirty) ....... this is disappointing.... because breakfast at Osborne is very good.

The Osborne is located in a quiet residential area of Valletta. Not far from the busy tourist district, it is a nice escape from the city BUZZ. There is a park very close by with beautiful views of the harbor. Restaurants and shops are minutes away. The hotel is clean and well-maintained. My first room was very nice, but I had to change because the TV didn't work. The 2nd room was relatively small but had everything I needed. Breakfast was exceptional and included Mimosas—a nice treat. The restaurant serves breakfast only. The pool area is nice, but there is no pool bar, as indicated on Expedia. The staff is amiable and helpful. The front desk clerks can help with bookings and directions. I would stay here again.

Another excellent and thoroughly enjoyable stay. All of the staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The hotel was spotless and the food top rate. Michael is a credit to the Hotel and a real pleasure to meet and seek advice. Cannot wait till our next visit.

Had a lovely few days at The Osborne. The staff on reception go above and beyond with advice on what to do and booking transfers to airport and excursion ticlets. The breakfast is very nice with a lot of choice. Location is perfect base as in central Valetta so very close to waterfront and also bus station with buses that can take you anywhere for 2 euros. Rooms clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for a short stay in Valetta.

Really loved this hotel - reception so welcoming, great location for both Valetta and exploring Malta with busses and boats. I arrived via bus with a suitcase in the dark, and it was easy to find in about 5 minutes. Lovely breakfast and loads of bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms lovely decorated and bathrooms excellent.

PERFECT location in Valletta, but needs updating
PROS: Perfect location, lovely staff, good breakfast. The Osbourne was very accommodating, I was able to check-in an hour earlier - as I arrived on an early flight, they assisted with booking all my tours & excursions (& my late night food deliveries) - I had an enjoyable 4 day stay. CONS:I travelled in March, the temperature in Valletta was getting warmer & the room had no A/C, so it was pretty warm at night. The staff were helpful & brought me a fan, but sadly it wasn't very effective. My room needed updating, as there were some prominent cracks in the walls & the shower was handheld, which was REALLY irritating, but I may have been given this room due to my early check-in. Wi-Fi was also a bit sketchy times. Other than that I had no issues.
Handheld shower
Crack in the wall
