Was a bit nervous about fire exits, or lack thereof. As I saw it if there was a fire on the main stairs ( and lift out of action) exiting the property would have been impossible unless I am missing something.

wonderful staff - all very helpful and knowledgeable. Location not in the busy heart of action but a walk around the corner and you have everything. Car can pull right up to bldg., so when coming or going with luggage you don't have to walk at all to reach transport. Very quiet and safe. perfection!

It was in a great location for the Theatre as it was a late ending show. Oh please note that you are looking for a double door, not much signage, as we walked past it twice. Not a photo of the hotel but one of the theatre.

Hôtel bien situé dans la vieille ville de La Valette, stationnement compliqué à proximité. On nous a attribué la chambre 100, la seule située au RDC, en face de l'escalier, donc beaucoup de passage devant. Spacieuse, bien équipée avec une bonne literie mais pas de lumière naturelle. Le petit déjeuner est varié et copieux, il se prend au sous sol dans un espace confiné et humide, pas des plus agréable.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we had the good fortune of meeting the owner who is a renowned Maltese artist. Our room on the 4th floor included the hot tub and we enjoyed lying under the sun and the stars bathing in the bubbling water. The hotel is located in central Valetta, just around the corner from the basement market in the center of the island. The location is ideal for getting to know Valetta.

I spent a most enjoyable week here. The hotel was relatively quiet in an area convenient for most sights and local restaurants. Very comfortable room, good quality bed, but the carpet could do with a deep clean. Good sized shower room and nice toiletries. All the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful with suggestions and directions. I would definitely recommend.

My wife and I were on the 4th floor where there is a frosted glass landing outside the elevator by the door. Those of a nervous disposition, though, should not be put off. The bathroom was very large and clean, with the shower (having both an handle held and overhead shower head) being very enjoyable. The room facilities included a small fridge and tea making facilities, as well as easily controllable air conditioning and (we visited in August) 2 complementary bottles of water daily. The street outside the hotel was being used for ongoing work and deliveries for nearby buildings so wasn't what you might call picturesque. This by no means detracted from the hotel though, as a few steps either way once outside the hotel, provided access to side streets leading towards the town centre. Once of the bets things about the hotel as the fact that it was perfectly quiet and we were able to sleep soundly every night. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and assisted in arranging a taxi form the airport on arrival. On departure we took one of the excellent bus services. The Breakfast was a small but perfectly formed buffet served in the atmospheric basement. All-in-all a very pleasant and highly recommended hotel. Thank you

A comfy, small hotel on a quiet street, centrally placed for easy walks to places of interest. Small room but inevitably so as renovated old building, personal service very good, everyone helpful and genuinely wanting to make the stay enjoyable. Good to have a proper coffee making machine in the room, wi-fi good but occasionally the TV feed would drop off due to buffering. A delightful place to stay - will be my choice again if I revisit the city.

Our room was small but we had everything we needed, with the exception of more storage space! We did feel that if the bed had been smaller, there would have been more space for maybe some drawers.

Arrived New Year’s Eve. We were given a room next to a noisy lift. It was the premium room which we paid extra for. The receptionist claimed all the rooms were the same. The bathroom kept flooding due to a faulty door. The entire ceiling was covered in black mould due to the extraction fan not working. We reported this to the owners (a father & son duo) to which they dismissed without apology and told us to ‘get out the hotel’ …..imagine if you had a child staying at this hotel breathing in black mould spores? Imagine being kicked out during new year week where it was impossible to get a hotel room because you reported a health issue to the owners? The owners are so rude and can’t accept any fault at their hotel. Really unprofessional. The owner is extremely sexist and only wanted to speak to my husband. Please do not stay at this hotel if you are a woman without a partner or if you have children. I have reported and sent the photos to Expedia.

We had never visited Malta, and I am thankful we choose Valletta, the old capital, and this hotel. The staff welcomed is like family and could not do enough for us as guests. The breakfasts were delicious, and the hotel is a perfect location for finding a dinner spot & tourist site. It’s in walking distance to many sites, including the Cathedral of St. John and the Palazzo de Rocca, which I highly recommend. To save money the host will help you arrange a Bolt ride, much more reasonable than a taxi.

It was in a great location for the Theatre as it was a late ending show. Oh please note that you are looking for a double door, not much signage, as we walked past it twice. Not a photo of the hotel but one of the theatre.

Hotel is right in the heart of Valetta with all the history, culture, shopping and nightlife within walking distance. Quiet and peaceful at night, a real gem.

Hôtel bien situé dans la vieille ville de La Valette, stationnement compliqué à proximité. On nous a attribué la chambre 100, la seule située au RDC, en face de l'escalier, donc beaucoup de passage devant. Spacieuse, bien équipée avec une bonne literie mais pas de lumière naturelle. Le petit déjeuner est varié et copieux, il se prend au sous sol dans un espace confiné et humide, pas des plus agréable.

A wonderful hotel with amazing staff. Good selection for breakfast. Hotel in a great location - best area in Valletta in terms of nearby bars and restaurants and quietness. Only disappointed was salmon at breakfast is left out uncovered. Everything else is perfect.

Centralt boende 100 m från affärs och restaurang gatorna men tyst boende, nära busstationen ca. 800 m. Lagom stor frukost. Nära till bad i centrum ca. 600 m.

What a fabulous boutique hotel the Palazzo Paolina is. Located on St Paul’s street perfectly positioned just off Merchant Street (near to the best gelato in Valletta) and only 10 minutes walk to the Malta Experience (a good pick up for out of city tours) and the e city gates. The rooms are comfortable and a good size - ours had a small balcony as well- and the bathroom was well equipped with great shower water pressure. Bottled water was provided every day and the room had a coffee machine and a kettle. Breakfast Buffett was available daily and provided hot and cold dishes. It catered to practically every taste. The staff were very friendly and helpful - no request was ever too much. Overall a gem of a hotel in a great location. Will certainly visit again!!

バレッタの中心地にあり、バレッタバスターミナルまで7分、フェリー乗り場まで13分の好立地。加えて朝食も種類か豊富(ブレット、シリアル、サラダ、生ハム、スモークサーモン、スクランブルエッグ、ベーコン、ソーセージ等)であり、スクランブルエッグが絶品でした。

Wonderful staff, great location. Bonus: I was lucky to stay in a room with a big Maltese style balcony. Breakfast is basic but sufficient. My only complaint is that the towels could be thicker and less stiff for a four star rating hotel.

The cleaners did an excellent job, every day the room was cleaned tidied up, beds made and fresh bottles of water, shower gels/shampoo/moisturisers left. Staff helpful and gave good advice. A/C excellent and the breakfasts wonderful and a fantastic selection. The reception desk is not manned 24 hours of the day. The front doors are locked at 21.30pm, you are given a door code to tap in to enter. Take a photo of it on your phone because you are bound to loose it. There was never a problem for us. A great location too, close to everything.

We are very pleased to have an early check-in after a long flight, so we can freshen up before going out to explore the city. The staff does a really good job. The hotel's location is also very good in all directions. The room with a balcony is quite interesting. We recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Malta.

Absolutely no water pressure. As in, I'd turn the shower on, and I'd have about 2 seconds of water. It didn't matter what time of the day it was. We ended up checking out early.
