Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were simply amazing, a mix of vintage and neo-classic design, with an amazing terrace featuring a wooden hot tub, truly luxurious. The service provided by the staff was enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful, making arrangements for airport transfers, restaurant bookings, and day trip suggestions. The location couldn't be better, being perfect in the center of Valletta and within short walking distance to bars, restaurants, and city sites. The dining experience was top-notch, especially at the newly opened restaurant Risette. However, there were some maintenance issues in certain areas that need attention.
I felt like royalty staying in this knight's palazzo in Valletta. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, and the full-quality breakfast was a special treat. However, there were some minor hiccups in the dining experience. The service was top-notch with a very friendly and helpful staff. The location couldn't have been better for exploring the city. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
My stay at the hotel was beyond amazing! The rooms were large, clean, and had a great walk-in shower, combining old-time glamour with modern luxurious amenities. The bathtub was perfect, and the terrace with a jacuzzi and adjustable shading was a delightful addition. Everything was well-equipped and beautifully designed.
