Hotel Sogdiana (St. Julian's, Malta)

The location of this guesthouse is convenient and close to the Paceville nightlife. Guests said that it's within walking distance to bars, restaurants and the nightlife. Also, it's a short walk to all kinds of public transportation - the bus and connections to the airport. They also said it's close to Spinola Bay.

Unlike some services where they don't clean your room until you check out, guests found the service thorough and complimented the housekeeping service. They said they returned to a spotless room every day.

Service is friendly, warm and expedient. Guests commended the service provided by the family owners and mentioned guesthouse employees by name.

Many guests described the breakfast as lacklustre saying it consisted of just cereal, toast, ham, cheese and other basics. They said the breakfast options never seemed changed to change day after day, and that the lack of variety was disappointing. Others said that they weren't offered any breakfast. With or without breakfast, majority of the reviewers were not pleased with this issue.

Rooms may feel small and cramped. One reviewer said it was hard to fit both the luggage and a person into the room at the same time. Many commented that they were surprised by the size of the room.

There have been complaints about strange smells in the guest rooms although the guests did not specify what kind of odour they had detected. One visitor suspected that it came from old carpeting in the guesthouse, but many complained of a smell and did not provide more details.
