I was very happy about my decision to pick this hotel. It was modern, clean and well-decorated. It felt like a high-end place. I wouldn't even have expected complimentary coffee and tea, but there it was.
The staff was very friendly. (Perhaps even a bit too aware of making a positive impression for the reviews. While their effort was appreciated, I’d love to see them relax, because it would wear you out feeling like you have to perform.) But the willingness to show that they care, that they are trying to make things good, means a lot.
I'm glad I researched the hotel options a bit more, instead of going with one of the options the app put higher up in the search results. This hotel had a perfect location, you can reach St. Julians, Valletta, discount stores, and the airport on foot.
Frankly, this hotel saved my Malta trip, because it was bad weather when I arrived, and the island is otherwise a bit dilapidated. The hotel is unusually well-renovated compared to the surroundings. Since hotels can cheat rewiews on booking.com, I feared before arrival things wouldn't be as presented. But it is actually this nice. Their reviews seem to be genuine.
The view from the sunroof was the city and its interesting architecture, although by afternoon the sun was blocked by the building. The view from the room was a not-overly-bad sidestreet.
I didn't hear many other guests, but I came during a quiet time.
I have never given a hotel 10 stars before, because I am a picky reviewer. This high rating is caused by conditions that may have been particular to my experience, which may not be the same during your stay: good price, low occupancy, free upgrade.
Another reviewer disliked the concrete ceiling, but I did not notice this as strongly negative. Many hotels have raw ceilings, I wouldn't even look there unless prompted. This had no functional downside. The hotel in general didn't have a naked feel to it, it was cozy. Maybe just not overly plush.

The apartment had a lot of new facilities like new oven, fridge, toaster, microwave, washing and drying machine(🤯) and very nice decorations. Also I think there were some automations like the lights turning on at night and off at day. Lots of thing to cook and make coffee (water heater and some spices). Very good soundproofing even though we where next to the street we couldn't hear a single noise.
Neighbouthood is fine, with lots of bars, restaurants, etc.
Neighbouthood is fine, with lots of bars, restaurants, etc. nearby. On the downside you're about a 25 min walk (uphill) to the centre of Valletta. However, there are LOTS of buses to the centre from nearby and the ticket is just EU2.50. Remember, too, that the standard cash fare for buses is EU2.50 and your valided for re-use on any bus for up to two hours from time of issue.

The town itself looks nothing special.
The town itself looks nothing special. I liked that it was close to the main towns we went to and that was very convenient. There is convenient transportation, a store, places to eat breakfast and the price of our hotel was great.

Central and easy access to several bus lines. Good restaurants close to the hotel. Taʼ Xbiex offers a normal daily life with nice local inhabitants in the surroundings, i.e. ideal for anybody who prefers not to be confronted with overcrowed and loud touristic areas.

During our stay at Johnny M we intentionally stayed only onboard. However I know the area very well. It is in the center of Malta and you may reach anywhere by car and also by public transport. There is a great relaxing walk on the promenade on both sides of the yacht. on one side there is an area with rocky beach where you may relax and swim in clear blue sea. Lots of good restaurants surround the area and there are a lot of bars for all type of people. Johnny M cannot be in a better place.
