Lantern Guest House

+ easy to find and close to restaurants/sea + 15min earlier breakfast upon agreement - upon arrival the door was closed, no one there, just after calling by phone someone arrived from externally to let us in - taxes for 2 nights twice as high as standard (50 cent per person and night all over Malta) - cold welcome and disappeared again - contact via sms/calling only which means extra costs for tourists every time - we booked a room with double bed, they put two single beds around 20cm from another "together" - very small bathroom with a half transparent door - no privacy - seemed that the walls were out of carton since we heard every step inside and outside the building as in our own room - cold in the room - breakfast ok, however we had way bether during our trip through Malta within the same price range Overall, we didn't feel comfortable, nor welcome within that guesthouse and would not recommend staying there.

Réception sympathique, bord de mer à un jet de pierre. Bien que la chambre soit suffisamment grande, je n'ai pas apprécié la qualité du matelas à ressorts. Les rues sont assez bruyantes et l'insonorisation pas très bonne, prévoyez donc des bouchons d'oreilles. Ayant changé de chambre chaque jour, je trouve, comparativement, que 30€ la nuit, était un peu excessif par rapport à la qualité de la chambre.

很小，很一般，而且很吵，搬行李上二樓，無電梯。

A very nice, comfortable guesthouse a few minutes' walk from the sometimes wet and windy, picturesque seafront, the Lantern Guest House is pretty much one of the best places I have ever stayed! Joseph and the ladies who help him are very helpful, and are happy to give advice about the area. My room was at the front, third floor, via the lift, and the room was very comfortable with a small balcony and a lovely bed with soft pillows and bedding. Joseph's English breakfast was very good - I had to avoid the cake or I would've gone home the size of an elephant, but I walked away from breakfast feeling very full up, and coffee'd up! The bathroom was small but easy to use. There are some good supermarkets nearby, and transport around the island is nearby. Below the guest house is the Lantern restaurant - a very good menu for diners, I had lamb shanks, perfectly cooked, very enjoyable. The area has other great restaurants; the Smugglers Cave does great roast chicken, while the Hot Wok Chinese restaurant cooked me a fantastic chicken with green peppers in black bean sauce. Coffee shops - the small but hip Coffee Circus makes a good brew, and the Candy Cafe on the seafront makes pretty much the best Americano I've had in years (Saquella coffee rocks!) served very well by the polite young people working there!

We just got back from an amazing break spent at the Lantern. All family members are so friendly and nice, guesthouse is spotlessly clean and the room was beautiful. Thank you so much for making our second stay so relaxing and welcome. Be back soon🙂. Read less

Well done and a BIG thank you to Joseph and his family for making this a unforgettable short holiday. My wife and i have just spent the weekend at Lantern Guesthouse, Marsalforn were everything was excellent. Cleanliness all-around and great choice of English and continental breakfast prepared by Joseph’s mother and all the family. It was evident, that once you go to the Lantern, you keep on going there as Joseph and his family make you feel appreciated I recommend this guesthouse to all and surely it won’t be the last time that we go there again. Thank you all for your excellent service and hospitality. Joe and Josephine Cassar
