We would recommend that you look for a hotel in Sliema, which is one of the central tourist districts with good shopping, restaurants etc.
The hotels we use are in the ST Hotel Group the Bayview Hotel, Sliema Hotel, Azur Hotel and the Blubay Hotel, all are in the town of Sliema and there is the Chapter5 Boutique Hotel in Msida all within walking distance of the Yacht Club.
There are some lovely boutique hotels in Valletta, and there is the Grand Hotel Excelsior just opposite the Yacht Club.
If you plan to stay there, we can pick up by RIB each morning. There are some excellent deals on Airbnb in the Ta' Xbiex, Gzira and Sliema neighbourhoods
Transport
Malta is quite a small island and there should be no need to hire a car. There is good affordable public transport and a wide range of affordable taxi companies to get people around. Malta drives on the left-hand side of the road, the same as the Cyprus, United Kingdom and Ireland.
