When we booked Hacienda apartments there was no review to read and have an idea what kind of a place we are going to be staying in for a week. Well, boy were we pleasantly surprised. Brand new 9 apartments well finished and very tastefully furnished. Nothing was missing, from a can opener to brand new high-end appliances. Clean modern, perfect location, close enough to everything, yet far enough to give you a decent rest when you need it. Scott’s supermarket is close by, restaurants are short stroll down the hill. All of the Sliema beaches are about 10 minutes walking distance from the apartment. If you are looking for a place with a stunning sea view, this is not for you. If you are looking for a stay in someone’s apartment, this is not for you. Hacienda apartments are purposely built to be rented as hotel suites and that is exactly what you get, but for a fraction of the price you would pay at any better hotel. Last but not least, the property manager Victor is a star and he is the one that will make your stay not just pleasant, but friendly as well. His knowledge of Malta and its history is a refreshing change from a usual hotel manager or a tourist guide. If we ever visit Malta again, I know where we will stay.
