The Best Home Office Setup in Malta? Inside Morrison Court’s 27-Inch Workstations

Search any booking platform in Malta for a “laptop-friendly workspace” and you’ll find a curious range of interpretations. Sometimes it’s a dining table. Sometimes it’s a dressing table with delusions of grandeur. Occasionally it’s a wicker chair angled hopefully towards the router. If you actually work while you travel, you already know the difference between a place where you can open a laptop and a place where you can do your best work.

In short: every one-bedroom apartment at Morrison Court in Gzira includes a separate, private home office room — not a desk in a corner — equipped with a 27-inch USB-C monitor on a riser, a wireless keyboard and mouse, a desk mat, a fully adjustable leather swivel chair, a footrest, wired Ethernet, and a wireless-charging desk lamp. As far as we know, it is the most complete home office offered by any serviced apartment in Malta.

Why “laptop-friendly” usually isn’t

Remote work has been mainstream for years, yet most holiday rentals still treat it as an afterthought. A workspace is listed as an amenity in the same breath as a hairdryer. That’s fine for answering a few emails between swims. It falls apart the moment you have a full day of video calls, a deadline that doesn’t care where you are, or a partner who also needs to be on camera at nine.

We built Morrison Court the other way round. The question wasn’t “where could a guest put a laptop?” but “what would make someone genuinely productive here for a month?” Our complete guide to working from Malta covers the island-wide picture — visas, internet, cafés, rhythm. This post is about the room where the actual work happens.

What’s on the desk

The centrepiece is a 27-inch USB-C monitor on a riser, set at proper eye level. One cable connects your laptop, charges it, and gives you a screen large enough to see a spreadsheet and a call window at the same time — no adapters, no hunching, no propping your machine on a stack of novels.

Around it: a wireless keyboard and mouse so you’re not typing with your wrists at the screen, a desk mat that keeps everything planted, and a wireless-charging desk lamp — warm light for the desk, a charged phone by the time you stand up. Below it: a fully adjustable leather swivel chair and a footrest, because an eight-hour day in a dining chair is a chiropractor’s business model, not a workspace.

And behind it all, a wired Ethernet socket. Wi-Fi in Malta is good; a cable is certain. When the call matters, you plug in and stop thinking about it.

The room around it

The desk sits in its own room, with a door that closes. That door is the whole philosophy. Work stays on one side of it; the rest of your stay lives on the other. The office has its own air conditioning, a 55-inch smart TV, a wardrobe, and a day bed — useful for reading over lunch, thinking sideways at a problem, or the noble mid-afternoon reset the Mediterranean was designed for.

Your commute is three steps and a door handle. It sounds like a small thing. Ask anyone who has spent a month working off a kitchen table how small it is.

Built for one or two

Morrison Court apartments are designed for one or two guests — no bunk beds, no sofa-bed Tetris, no group bookings thundering down the corridor. For a working couple, the layout means one of you takes the office and the other sets up in the living space, and you both make your calls without starring in each other’s. For a solo guest, it means a quiet building where the whole apartment is genuinely yours.

It’s one of the reasons remote workers are increasingly choosing Gzira over Sliema and St Julian’s — the town has the seafront and the cafés, without the resort-strip volume.

Why it matters on a longer stay

For a long weekend, almost any desk will do. Stretch the stay to a month or three and the workspace becomes the difference between a stay that works and one you endure. Posture, light, screen size and connection stability compound daily — like interest, or like the bassline in a song you only notice when it’s missing.

If you’re weighing up a longer stay, our complete guide to monthly rentals in Malta walks through costs, contracts and what to look for — including the questions to ask about the workspace before you book anything, anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Do Morrison Court apartments have a real desk and monitor?

Yes. Every one-bedroom apartment has a separate office room with a 27-inch USB-C monitor on a riser, wireless keyboard and mouse, desk mat, adjustable leather chair, footrest, wireless-charging desk lamp and wired Ethernet. It is a dedicated room, not a workstation in the bedroom or living area.

Is the internet suitable for video calls?

Yes. The apartments run on fast fibre broadband, and the office includes a wired Ethernet connection for maximum stability — ideal for all-day video calls, large file transfers and anything else your workday throws at it.

Can two people work from the apartment at the same time?

Comfortably. The apartments are designed for one or two guests: one person can take the private office while the other works from the living space, so simultaneous calls are no trouble. Ask us about a second monitor setup when you book.

Your work is coming to Malta whether you like it or not — it may as well have a good desk. Morrison Court is five serviced apartments in Gzira, each designed for one or two guests, each with a private home office included. See availability and book direct at morrisoncourt.com.
