Townhouse 17 Boutique B&B — Hotel in Victoria

May, 2025 We loved our stay here in room #9 and I hope we get a chance to return in the future.

Gozo is a small island relative to Malta. It is more relaxed and agricultural but also full of history and plenty of places to visit.

Our room was comfortable and bright. We had a king room with a small balcony overlooking some trees and the bus station and a view of the Citidel on the hill.

Breakfast was AMAZING. We loved the various benedict options and the fabulous lattes plus breakfast treats.

The location is superb. Since the bus station is across the street it is easy to get around the island, particularly if you purchase one of the multi-day Tallinja cards that give you free bus rides on the main island and Gozo and include the fast ferry between Valletta and Gozo.

(I don’t recommend the hop on hop off bus because if you just want an overview without getting off you don’t get close enough to many of the sights to know if you want to go back. If you do get off there might not be room for you to get back on a later bus and they run every 45 minutes or so).

From the Valletta (Malta) airport there is a bus to the high speed ferry to the island of Gozo and the ferry meets up with another bus that takes you to Victoria and Townhouse 17.

Google maps is pretty good for giving you the schedule but doesn’t always tell you the best place to get on or off.

There is a wonderful grocery store, Greens, not too far away. Excellent bread, cheese, produce, sandwiches, wine, odds and ends. There was also a small farmers market in the bus station parking lot most days. We purchased extraordinary strawberries there.

Townhouse 17 is highly...

We had a fantastic stay at Townhouse 17, they really go above and beyond. The room was perfect very modern decoration with a great balcony. They provide many good amenities such as a TV, water, towels, full length mirror, air conditioning, soap and shower essentials. They even decorated the bed with petals for our anniversary!

The location was incredible directly in the city centre, with many great restaurants and shops just a few minutes walk away. They are also right next to the main bus station on Gozo where you can easily get a bus to any part of the island.

They also provide free breakfast which was brilliant where you can choose anything you want of the menu and they provide table service, they also give you 6 mini pastries complimentary along with whatever you order. On top of this they give a 10% discount at the restaurant for lunch and dinner and the food there is amazing. All the staff were extremely friendly and the reception even went out their way to greet us and make sure everything was okay with our stay.

We also really enjoyed the splash pool on the roof, it has a great view of the city and is decorated very nicely. It is a great place to chill and cool down and is usually empty as the hotel is small.

I would highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely return in the future. Thank you...

Good situated near the central bus station. Excellent starting point for trips around Gozo. Near the city centre for food. The rooms were ok. The bathroom had no appropriated ventilation so it was continuously humid. It gets busy around on 7 in the morning, especially the car traffic. Otherwise it is a pleasant location. The breakfast looks good but the taste is very much in need of improvement. Like everywhere in Malta the quality of the products they use is low - compared to Northern European standards. And it is not used much fresh ingredients (bread, sauce, Avocado are all convenience food not fresh). There are no healthy options. We saw that other guests like us did not enjoyed it fully and did not touch the etagerie which consisted of a disgusting cake (only looking good) and old croissants. Even so, I did not saw better hotels in Victoria so if you are okay with the breakfast it might be a good option. The location can’t be better and the hotel offers a good ratio of price and...
