Recenzoval @TheWonderingEnglishman: I stayed at The Duke Boutique Hotel in Gozo and it was the perfect base. My room was incredibly quiet despite being right in the city center. Waking up and having breakfast while looking out at the Citadel was absolutely spectacular. A solid 8 out of 10 from me!

- You rely on public transit (bus terminal is 200m away)
- You prioritize a modern, spotless bathroom over rustic charm
- You want to be walking distance to the Citadel and Victoria's best restaurants

Časté otázky a skryté tipy
Vše, co opravdu chcete vědět, než si zarezervujete.

Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent—a mix of buffet and a la carte hot dishes.
Where do I park?
In the mall's underground garage (Level -4). It costs €10/night unless you book directly with the hotel.

No, it's in the city center. The nearest beaches (Ramla or Xlendi) are a 10-15 minute bus or taxi ride away.
How do I find the entrance?
Enter 'The Duke' shopping mall and take the elevator to the 4th floor. If arriving late, use the intercom at the side entrance.

Ask for a room facing Villa Rundle Gardens for a greener, more peaceful morning view.
