The best hotels Valette

Just a stone's throw from the port, the hotel is housed in an attractive freestone residence that once belonged to the Order of Saint John. Completely renovated in 2018, it offers 63 comfortable rooms (TV, telephone, air conditioning), arranged on several levels. Beautifully appointed with stylish furnishings, some (9) overlook the sea. If you're lucky, you may even opt for the 401, which boasts a lovely view, even from the bathroom. You'll also appreciate the welcoming lobby, the intimate ambience of the restaurant and the freshness of the small private swimming pool on the terrace with its beautiful views over the city. Finally, the new lounge bar is sure to liven up your evenings. Very welcoming staff. A good address.

This century-old house of character perched high above St Julian's has since been transformed into a funky, colourful and friendly youth hostel. In total you will have four fairly large dormitories with individual safes, a fully equipped kitchen, plus an outdoor area. Barbecues are organised on the rooftop and a chill out area is provided for relaxation. A good plan. Sports activities (windsurfing, canoeing and diving) and tourist activities are offered through their service at very interesting prices.

In the very central and yet quiet St Christopher Street, this 300-year-old palace was beautifully restored in 2017 to make it attractive and easy to use to the modern traveler. Here you will find a hotel out of time, mixing the old features of its building with a modern decoration with all the comfort a palace can offer. In the rooms decorated with vintage furniture, confectionery platters, fridge bar, plug in for telephone, air conditioner, fan, safe, WLAN, cable TV… every detail has been carefully thought of, and decoration mixed colors, contemporary design and baroque elements. A pleasant and colorful patio with tables invites you to enjoy a good breakfast in the open air, scarcity in La Valette. Unless the fireplace takes your attention more? The convivial and original spirit reigns here and you can only feel at home there. This is what you can expect for a deluxe room, a penthouse or their wonderful duplex on 2 floors with private secure entrance, equipped kitchen and living room. The ideal alternative for travelers who want privacy while having space.

Located in the heart of St Julian's, in the Paceville district, this 6-storey hotel offers a good quality of comfort and services, starting with its 145 rooms, very well equipped (TV, balcony, safe, air conditioning, etc.). It has a restaurant, a bar and two swimming pools, one of which is ideally located on the roof of the hotel, sheltered from sight. Furthermore, it is heated and covered during the winter. Music and animation are occasional. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This small, colorful hostel with a relaxed, international atmosphere offers 4 dormitories with 6 beds each (some are mixed), and a double room with bathroom (must be booked in advance). A large garden with climbing ivy and hammocks invites you to relax and chat. The communal kitchen is popular, as are the regular barbecues organized by the hotel in the garden. A good plan for backpackers on a budget and students on an English course who are staying on the island and are looking for a certain conviviality.

It's hard not to notice this impressive 8 story black building when you go to Paceville. Opened in 2016, this luxury boutique hotel is at the forefront of technology. This is how, with a tablet, you can control everything in your room: The room was very clean and the staff were very helpful. And the rest of the equipment will be the same level: High performance wifi, minibar, satellite TV, full coffee service and even top comfort bed, especially when you are active in massaging. Some of the suites, superior "foaming bath", allow you to slip into a bubbling bath while enjoying a wonderful view of St George's Bay. But privacy is perfectly guaranteed since you can admire everything without being seen, thanks to a special treatment of glass. Modern decoration for all 40 rooms. And in the surroundings, bars in the same group as Hugo's Pub, Hugo's Passion….

A privileged location a few hundred meters from the Muza and the Upper Barraca gardens where you can go jogging in the morning before the crowd arrives, this is the first asset of this hotel. The second being to be installed in a very beautiful old house which has kept all its charm of yesteryear, and which we will appreciate from the reception by admiring the Maltese clock with the bucolic decoration which surmounts it. Central district means animation. Also, to choose between the 38 rooms with similar and undeniable comfort, you will need to know if you have a very light sleep. Those overlooking the central patio sometimes make a wind tunnel noise in the middle of summer due to the air conditioning. If you can book in advance, we recommend rooms with bow windows overlooking the square: 25 in the centre and 12 and 14 on each side. The icing on the cake and morning pleasure: have breakfast on the panoramic terrace on the hotel's roof, with beautiful views of the three cities. Welcoming attentive, precise and also in French.

This luxurious boutique-style B&B is often fully booked! We discovered it by chance, discreetly tucked away in a quiet, pleasant alleyway in Valletta, unaware of the buzz it was already creating on the web among travelers looking for arty, contemporary addresses. From the Duplex, we also discovered the most beautiful view of the city of the Knights of the Order of St. John, overlooking the port, the sea and the old town, with a contrast as striking as it is fascinating between the B&B's clean lines and the authentic, historic character of the capital. One floor up, the roof, with a terrace where you can have breakfast in the soft light of dawn, or enjoy the aperitif graciously served by the team at sunset. Daniel at reception will give you the best tips and anecdotes about Malta. We loved the service and the high standard of the rooms, in harmony with this heavenly setting.

This youth hostel is well located near the promenade of Sliema. It offers two private rooms and beds in dormitories of 4 fully renovated, modern rooms with private bathroom. Some rooms have a sea view at the end of the street. In dormitories, bunk beds and new bedding are comfortable, spacious lockers. The cleanliness of the location is impeccable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The well-equipped kitchen is open 24 hours a day, with tea and coffee at will. It is a pleasant place for dinner and is also available to guests at lunchtime or dinner. Excellent welcome from James and his team.

Set in a Victorian house from the 1830s, this trendy boutique hotel located near the Manoel Theatre will seduce lovers of old stone and an arty and intimate atmosphere, each room overlooking an inner courtyard where you can't hear a cat. The Ellul brothers entrusted its transformation to architect Chris Briffa, who designed each of the nine suites in elegant black white and anthracite tones. On the floor, graphic mosaics, on the walls, an exhibition of paintings by the contemporary Maltese artist Mallia, which makes us rediscover Valletta in flashy tones. Some have high ceilings, characterful furniture and luxurious bathrooms with pretty basins and superb free-standing baths. The rooms on the top floor are more futuristic, with raw concrete walls and contemporary furniture with sleek lines, each with a terrace overlooking the city. A warm welcome from the team, attentive to the requirements of its customers. A very popular establishment.

Smart advice: do not hesitate to check the availability of rooms day by day and book your stay in several suites. The staff will take care of everything to make you travel between floors without you noticing!

Opened in May 2019, this very beautiful hotel is set in the Palazzo Merkanti, a magnificent 17th century Baroque palace whose first owner was Grand Master Pietro Roselli, a wealthy silversmith, Maltese philanthropist and member of the Order of the Knights of Malta. If the beauty of its structure has been respected, its interior decoration has been applied to magnify it with delicacy and lightness. Around the central courtyard, the hotel is organised into six collections of rooms, 25 in total, each offering a specific universe: a calm and serene atmosphere for the Wellbeing collection, floral motifs from the secret gardens of La Valette for the Garden collection, Maltese soil for the Terrazzo collection, a harmonious dialogue between the old and the modern for the Green collection, an evocation of a contemporary palace for the Duplex collection or a subtle interpretation of materials for the Designer Suite collection. A particularly attentive and totally personalized service contributes to the feeling of well-being and serenity emanating from the whole.

Located just a stone's throw from Grand Harbor and the Upper Barraca Gardens, this boutique hotel, opened in November 2015, was part of the wave of establishments preparing the year of culture in 2018, with the taste of ancient buildings. As a result, the eight rooms renovated by a Maltese of origin, Matthew, were decorated with great care: ground marble for rooms and bathrooms, comfortable bedding, WLAN, TV and fully equipped bar. For families who wish to stay in total comfort, you can only advise the Classic Maltese suite to the two king-size beds and multi-colored tiles illuminating the entrance of the room. The richest can choose the Grand Harbor view if they choose "the Grand Habour Sky Villa".

Housed in a historic building, the Grand Harbour Hotel is also conveniently located near the Upper Barraca Gardens. It offers 30 rooms on 7 floors, accessible by lift. All of the rooms have been renovated and are en suite and decorated in the style of the building. Most of the rooms have a balcony overlooking the large port and the Three Cities. The same beautiful view can be enjoyed from the hotel's rooftop terrace.

This Lloyd House is an 18th century palace that long belonged to a Maltese family before being masterfully renovated. Its plus: to be located in a haven of peace in the centre of the capital while offering a breathtaking view, over the rooftops, of the Three Cities, the great port, the gardens of Upper Barraca and the lower town of Valletta. Spread over three floors, it houses three luxury suites and a studio, all equipped with the utmost comfort and respecting the architectural and decorative details of the original rooms.

AX The Saint John opened in 2018 with the objective of reconciling the history of a 17th century building, successively a boutique and a merchant store, with the aspirations of a 21st century urban traveller. The result is a charming hotel that combines lifestyle, vintage touch style and new technologies. Spread around a central patio that functions like a skylight, the nineteen rooms have a contemporary style that evokes the comfort of one's own home. Professionals will appreciate two fully equipped conference rooms and gourmets will appreciate the Cheeky Monkey Gastropub, which will delight burger lovers in particular. And outside, you can enjoy all the excitement of Merchants Street.

Opened in 2010, it is located above the Luciano restaurant, in the centre of Valletta. Some of the rooms have a beautiful view of the co-cathedral. Comfortable and well-equipped rooms (minibar, air conditioning, LCD TV...), accessible by lift, and a slightly old but pleasant decoration. If you don't mind the animation, choose the rooms overlooking the main street, otherwise prefer the parallel street. It is often taken by storm from the month of April, so booking in advance is preferable.

Ideally located within walking distance of the Upper Barrakka Gardens, this Casa Lapira offers seven very spacious rooms with king size beds, each with its own rustic style decoration. They offer all the comfort (air conditioning, led television, complete bathroom, wifi) including a fully equipped kitchenette which allows you a more independent stay. You can also enjoy breakfast and dinner at the LaPira restaurant, which specialises in Mediterranean and Maltese cuisine.

Welcome to Maltese-style splendor. Versailles is just a click away at this ^17th-century baroque rococo palace with its dozen majestic rooms in the heart of Valletta. Each suite is furnished in the Maltese bourgeois style of the last century. A preference for the Beatrix suite on the^1st floor, with monumental chandeliers on the ceiling, a Provencal sitting area with still lifes hanging on the wall, a marble walk-in shower, two bedrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen opening onto an intimate balcony in the inner courtyard. The overall effect is grandiose. On the top floor, a penthouse boasts a barbecue area for summer evenings and an incredible view of the port and city from its private terrace. The living room is particularly inviting, with a large crystal chandelier, a library of antique books, many in French, comfortable sofas and a massive fireplace that crackles on winter evenings. For the standard offered, prices are reasonable. However, if you'd like more light, opt for the upstairs rooms.

Among the many offers, this bed and breakfast has managed to pull off a simple equation: six tastefully decorated modern rooms, three junior double rooms and three suites and above all 7th heaven for one of the two suites on the^3rd floor with sea view. For the less fortunate, the terrace will be more than enough for you to enjoy the continental breakfast served between 7:30 am and 10:30 am. For this price, you can't do without it.

Locanda La Gelsomina is a haven of peace, an oasis of tranquility, yin and yang reunited. In an old building dating back to the ^15th century, completely updated by Rossella and her mother, you'll be transported by the scents of spices, Indonesian lights and flowers, as well as the scents of Mongolia. Four beautiful suites, two on the second floor, two more accessed by climbing a designer spiral staircase in yellow and black, and once upstairs, the osmosis between East and West. We literally fell in love with Suite Two and the secrets hidden within its walls... It's up to you to discover them. Breakfast is always fresh and served in the superb flower-filled courtyard. Yoga is also available. You'll leave with your chakras liberated...

The Alfonso is a small, vieillot family hotel, just steps away from the Spinola Bay and the discos of Paceville.

The rooms offer basic comfort and some are air conditioned.

It is regrettable that this establishment so well kept winter is much less the summer! The cleaning is not done every day in the rooms, the fans do not work (almost unbearable with high heat) and the reception is really unpleasant. Conclusion: go to this institution in the winter, but avoid the summer where prices are, in an exaggerated way. It is a pity that the lure of gain pushes some hotels in Paceville to not be in the little care with tourists during the high season…
