Location near bus station near Bugibba and supermarket closeby. Building is a bit old and outdated, but very clean and housekeeping is very good. Apartment has pretty much everythung you need. And communication with host is very good, they will reply and provide you if you need something extra. Very friendly. Decent accomodation if you are looking for long term affordable accomodation.

The residential complex is located in a quiet side street to the busy Tourist Street, where there are tons of restaurants and small stores. In addition, the Bugibba bus station is just a few minutes walk away. This is very convenient, because from there the buses usually leave quite punctually. Our apartment was spacious and really very clean. The kitchen was equipped with the most necessary utensils including large refrigerator with icebox, stove, oven and microwave. In advance I had already had mail contact and all questions were answered promptly and in detail. We would definitely book again.

Clean but with some issues!

You cannot fault this properties cleanliness. Housekeeping and bedding was completed once per week. During the week you took your own bins down if they became full. Stairs up to apartments not suitable for people with a disability. Could not contact the owner either by ringing or emails, with regards to entering premises, missing items and faulty kettle. Only one electric adapter so had to keep switching plugs. Had to buy second pillows as only one. The bed was quite hard. Laundry is carried out once per week, which was good at 4.50 euros including powder. The door in the toilet/shower room did not close, which has been a problem for years. This could prove embarrassing for some people. Just to warn people, there is no sunlight around this side of building and can be quite cold!

One week stay

We stayed in this property for one week and appreciated the location. The apartment is a nice size but very sparse. It s a very basic property. The kitchen was very minimally equipped and it was difficult to prepare meals with the utensils provided. We sent a few messages about issues and we never got responses. The wifi was out for half our stay and messages were not responded to. The description says that they provide airport transfer and we requested it for the end of our stay but again, our message was not answered. We did appreciate the laundry facilities and the price was good for the area.

Second stay at Shamrock apartments another great stay. So close to all amenities, bus terminal so close, restaurants, shops etc.. hosts are attentive and quick to respond to any enquires. Appartment has everything you could need for your stay. Pool is small but clean. Plenty of sunbeds. Only negative not the appartments fault but a Scottish lady decided to sunbathe topless (which is not allowed) next to my 80 year old father, just because she wanted the particular bed he was using!!

Rather disappointing establishment

The rooftop pool that features as a first picture on hotels.com does not open until May! There is a construction site right next to the hotel generating lots of noise and blocking the light. The apartment itself was in need of refurbishing and appliances left much to be desired like a rusty kettle. Would not recommend this place.

Very basic accommodation although we found everything we needed was there. Spotless clean towels and bedding, as was the apartment. Staff at the property so helpful and friendly. Building work going on right next to the apartment block but atm I dont think there are many hotels/apartments in Qawra/Bugibba that havent got building work going on by them.....

This was a great budget accommodation for the month we spent in Malta. Close proximity to restaurants and the main bus station made life easy. Julia was excellent with communication and was always available. We were there in low season (January) but most places were open. We had a great time and Shamrock apartment was a great place to stay.

Building site!

The appointment was very hemmed in. We had to keep the doors and curtains closed because of the building work opposite. They were building another apartment block opposite and it almost within touching distance. Very noisy with no privacy. This made the rooms very hot. As a base to explore its very well situated.

Mały apartament w dobrej cenie

Mały apartament dla dwojga w bardzo dobrej cenie, na dachu mały basen ogólnodostępny, położenie jest trochę na uboczu, ale wszędzie blisko. Apartament mieścił się na 4 piętrze następny raz dokupilabym klimatyzacje w czerwcu bardzo gorąco, super, że był ten wentylator. Wyposażenie apartamentu bardzo podstawowe dosłownie wszystko po dwie sztuki. W łazience przydała by się mocniejsza żarówka lub mała lampka mąż miał problem żeby się dokładnie ogolić. Generalnie apartament byl w tak dobrej cenie, że nie ma co narzekać, dla mniej wymagających klientów. Ja polecam.

Basic but clean

The apartment was quite basic and dated but clean. The price says it all. Could have done with more kitchen utensils etc cushions on sofa and a lamp. The room we had had a balcony but overlooked a tower block under construction. Would use again as we werent in the apartment that much. Bugibba has everything you need and apartment is central to everything.
