Port View Guest House, Luzzo Street, Marsaxlokk
There
is a direct bus every 20-30 minutes from Valletta bus station (and a special
service from Bugibba on a Sunday for the Fish Market), very busy on a Sunday as
it is the weekly Fish Market along the harbor front. You do not normally
associate Marsaxlokk with accommodation, but there is now a growing number of
boutique guest houses and we stayed at one of the first to open, newly furnished
with modern fittings and facilities.
Port
View is just along Luzzo Street from the sea front, or down from the parallel
street with the bus terminus, so a perfect location with no passing traffic
noise. A lovely friendly welcome – we were early – with the offer to use the
facilities to get changed if we needed to, and somewhere to store luggage until
the room was ready. They even gave us a key card to get back in and when we
came back, our room keys were issued and our luggage already waiting for us in
the room.
The
accommodation is very nice, plenty of storage, a great shower, and breakfast
room on the rooftop overlooking the harbor. Plenty of fresh fruit and coffee
with continental breakfast and the owner is there to chat and make sure
everyone is ok – and to help with the coffee machine if necessary! This is a
small guest house, but very clean and comfortable and everyone is so friendly.
We will definitely stay here again as you do need more than two nights to
appreciate what Marsaxlokk has to offer, and to explore along the coastal
paths.
