The penthouse was a superb light filled open plan apartment with 360 deg views from the rooftop terrace. Claire the owner was a charming and exceptionally helpful host- even drove us across Valetta to our next accommodation! She was prompt in response to any query and unfailingly cheerful. Recommend the airport pickup service as apartment could be hard to find in old Valletta's narrow streets.

Valletta has lots of steep steps and road , so difficult for the less mobile.
Old mint No 1 and 2 and the penthouse, have been furnished and decorated to a high standard, the lift to all 3 properties is a +bonus.
Accommodation is great and the view from the Penthouse rooftop is super.
The property is designed for adults (personal opinion) as the spiral staircase for children could pose a problem!

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Old Mint Penthouse. It was clean, spacious, well equipped and has excellent outdoor space for relaxing and wonderful views.
Although the penthouse has a second double bedroom, you have to go down some steps to get to it and you would certainly be the loser if you were going with another couple and had this bedroom!!
As mentioned in other reviews of this property the sliding doors to the terrace do not shut or lock, potentially a security problem, but highly unlikely as it would be very difficult to get on to the terrace any other way! Also don't expect much from the TV if your only language is English - anyway there is too much to do and see to want the TV.

I do have a few niggles though:-
a) You will be charged for the use of wifi (Why? Please include it in the overall cost)
b) Your fee includes an allowance of 5 euros per day for electricity, if you use more than this you will be charged (We kept well in our allowance but just used the hot water heater, kettle and toaster).
c) Booking not neccessarily the easiest with additional costs and conversion from GBP to Euro not to your advantage.

Being in the centre of Valletta you are very close to the ferry to Sliema, about 10 minutes from the taxi boat to the Three Cities and the bus station. Republic Street is just 5 minutes away. Two doors away is a bakery, pizza and general store all rolled into one. Valleta is a wonderful place with superb views from many places.

Finally, I would highly recommend the Old Mint Penthouse.

This was a beautiful apartment and really well equipped and furnished. The views from the terrace were amazing, but the spiral staircase was not for the faint-hearted or the vertically challenged. We did make a lot of use of the lower balcony area, it was great to have some outside space. The location is ideal, close to the Siema Ferry (Carrefour Supermarket & harbour cruises) and also close to the centre of Valletta and the bus terminus to get to the rest of the island. Our taxi from the airport had trouble finding the address as we didn't have a house number. The website is not great at flagging up the actual address, it is buried in the booking form - NUMBER 21. I missed it and we got dropped off a long way from the apartment.
