You can't get a better location than paulos, right in the centre of Valletta and waking distance to everything.
The rooms are a little worse for wear (bathroom window wouldn't shut and the door handle kept coming off) but all manageable and the rooms were very clean and spacious. Breakfast was fine.
Biggest issue for us is that the room itself would not lock and this was not fixed for our entire stay. Luckily we had no real valuables with us and the building felt quite safe, but this was not ideal. The communication about it was limited and slow. Eventually the owners simply said it wasn't fixable because a company was closed. No effort to fix through different means (we suggested the physical lock that was also on the door) or provide us an alternative safe space. At one point the door did lock itself whilst we were out, we were not told but had luckily taken the key with us anyway.
This didn't ruin our stay but did cause a bit of anxiety and unnecessary stress on the holiday. I imagine if wouldn't be the case if you were there at any time other than Christmas as hopefully the lock company would be open.
