Enjoy luxury hotels and holidays at lower prices
Even the best hotels have empty beds. Because we keep it hush-hush, they slip us phenomenal deals. Too good to be true? Nah. Just too good to be public.
Urban-chic digs in the heart of historic Valletta - Refundable hotel
AX The Saint John, Malta

Property details
- Redefined urban living: Having started its life as a former merchant’s residence and shop, AX The Saint John has been lovingly transformed into a stylish boutique in the heart of Malta’s UNESCO-listed capital. A contemporary colour palette and industrial-style furnishings create a chic space that complements the hotel’s rich history.
- Casual cuisine: The hotel’s fun-loving ethos extends to its urban gastropub Cheeky Monkey, where you can share nibbles with friends over a pint of beer on red leather-clad seats. Sweet treats can be found next door at Cheeky Monkey Creperie, while à la carte refinement awaits at Grain. And that’s only the start of your night: watch buskers play on street corners or enjoy a glass of wine to the tune of Jazz on the steps of the Bridge Bar.
- Unique and up-to-date: The guest rooms brim with industrial-chic style, with plenty of metal and wooden furnishings for a fresh, contemporary feel. Overlooking a vintage-style courtyard filled with natural light, your room becomes your sanctuary amid Malta’s ever-growing and bustling capital.
