About Us
Our history
We have been operating the Akwador Guest House in Marsaskala since 2013. Since taking over the management of the Guest House we have undertaken a modernisation program to bring the accommodation up to date in terms of interior decor, adding air conditioning units to the rooms and dining area, installing revolutionary far infrared wall heaters for the winter and installing fast FREE WiFi.
The Akwador Guest House has the best views of the bay for room rental - equalling, if not surpassing some of the many sea view apartments on offer in the village. By maintaining high standards in cleanliness and in guest hosting, the Akwador has achieved Certificates of Excellence from Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor and most recently HotelsCombined.
We are thankful to our guests for taking the time to share their experiences and making it possible for us to achieve our high rankings.
Thank you!
Larisa and Neil!
Excellent FREE WiFi coverage
Today, the first question asked of us on arrival is "What is the WiFi code?"
The Akwador has invested in 3 powerful WiFi routers providing coverage in your room and in the communal areas with a fast WiFi connection free of charge. We encourage guests to bring tablets and laptops in order to stream news and movies in their language rather than rely on outdated room televisions showing monochrome American Westerns on cable!
Fantastic local restaurants
One of our favourite quips is "Don't worry, you will not starve in Marsascala!"
For a small local sea side resort, Marsascala boasts many restaurants, bars and bistros serving a variety of cuisine. Catering mainly for Maltese customers the restaurant prices are lower and portions are larger in Marsascala than found in the average tourist areas. For the convenience of our guests, we have restaurant recommendations based on feedback from previous guests.

Download this convenient map before you arrive in Marsascala. It shows you where shops, bank ATMs, restaurants and buses are. The restaurants in red are those recommended by our guests. Note the one way streets and central location!
Our Rooms
Before you book, it is nice to see what a typical room will look like. Each room is different and colour themed rather than being hotel generic. It also means you may not get a room that is exactly the same as the one in the picture!
Tours and Excursions
There is much to see in Malta and taking an excursion can mean seeing so much more. With plenty to choose from and include everything from trips to Gozo, neighbouring Sicily or simple Hop On Hop Off buses. Check out our tours here.
Airport Transfers
Take the stress out of your holiday by arranging a convenient private transfer from the Airport Arrivals Hall direct to the Akwador. Cheaper than a local taxi and more reliable than using buses.
Breakfast options
If a cooked Full English breakfast is your thing, then Jacob's Brew Cafe on the Ground floor is there to satisfy you. If you prefer to self cater - then take advantage of the Akwador Dining Area.
