Easy enough to find, a number X4 bus from the airport into Valletta then a 5 minute walk. 1.5 Euros for the bus Owner and staff very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Full english breakfast a welcome bonus to start the day off. Lovely settings for breakfast, like a step back in time, very ornate with a personal touch, you feel like you're sitting in a National Trust property. Air Con in the room worked very well. Everything was clean and the room made every day. Kettle, coffee, tea available in the room. Location perfect to explore Valletta on foot, plenty of bars and restaurants within a few meters. Launderette a few doors up from the Palazzo Suites. Buses are great at 1.5 Euros for a two hour trip anywhere. We took the No41 bus to the Gozo ferry, took a little while making 71 stops to get there but much cheaper than the alternatives. The ferry to Gozo was 4.5 Euros return. Facinating Island steeped in history.

It doesn’t have 24 hours service like a hotel. It is important to let the customer know that you will be living with the homeowner.

We do not understand what this is about. Reception is 24 hours, guest was provided with an electrical adapter at 2 am in the morning. Guests may come and go as they please any time of the day or night. Please refer to previous guest reviews stating that check in and check out is available around the clock. Palazzo Valletta has been in the family since 1622. The owner is constantly at hand to assist guests. The palazzo is adorned with family heirlooms and all guests are expected to behave in an appropriate manner.

From the initial welcome to leaving at the end this felt more like visiting someone’s home as a valued friend than staying at a hotel. The suite was very comfortable and spacious, with everything I needed. There’s an ante room with a table and space to sit. Then the main room which has a Queen Bed and also a sitting area with TV etc. The bathroom is lovely, very large with a free standing bath and walk in shower. There’s access to a small balcony with seating for two through some french windows. I enjoyed the ability to sit on an internal balcony overlooking the courtyard having a drink after a busy day walking around and there’s also a rooftop communal terrace, looking down towards the Grand Harbour. Location was perfect - right on St Pauls Street, everything is only a short walk away. The area felt clean and safe at any time and there were plenty of restaurants and cafes within a very short walk.

The owner and proprietor Frank ensured that we enjoyed a uniquely superior stay. He is concerned with every detail and could not have been more friendly and accommodating. He’s also a sophisticated and warm person. The property itself is considered a Heritage House and is spacious, impeccably clean, well appointed and centrally located. The staff was wonderful. One of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed in.

Love love loved this place 😍
The location was amazing. Walkable to everywhere - sites, restaurants, sea. There is only 6 suites at Palazzo. The building is a 1622 beautiful building with modern bathrooms and amenities. Our suite (garden view) was so comfy and roomy. Frank and his staff were just sensational. Nothing was an issue for them and happy to assist with recommendations, booking taxis, local history and having a chat at breakfast. Although it may not be everybodies cup of tea (if you like ultra modern hotels) but I can not recommend this place highly enough. Everything was beautifully maintained and had everything you could possibly need. Breakfast was more impressive than most ultra modern hotels that only offer buffets.

If you are visiting Valletta or Malta in general, I would highly recommend this property, Location is fantastic, the property is great and Frank the owner understand what is important to make guests feel welcome and well looked after. Breakfast sets you up well to explore the city and the island. Make sure you understand the parking rules in Valletta if you are using a hire car, but this is easy to manage and Frank will assist.

Valletta is small so the location doesn’t matter as it’s walkable everywhere. I liked that the hotel was not on a busy street so it was quiet at night. The hotel owner is great! Frank was so attentive to us and provided excellent customer service. I noticed he was speaking in French and Italian fluently with other guests. The breakfast was very good. Our room was on the first (ground) floor, so it was a bit dump and didn’t get much natural light. The room also didn’t have hangers for towels. Otherwise it was spacious and clean and the air conditioning was working great. If you get a room on a different floor, it would be perfect. We also enjoyed the rooftop patio.

Charming spot in Valletta
We had a very nice time at Palazzo Valletta Suites. Frank was great! Helpful with reservations and ideas as well as friendly conversation. Breakfast was fresh, delicious and satisfying. The location was ideal. Valletta is a small city and a car is more of an encumbrance than of any use. The old city is easily walkable. The building itself is several hundred years old and as such it’s nothing less than miraculous that modern conveniences like plumbing, kitchen and an elevator can be installed without ruining its essential character. We would both recommend Palazzo Valletta Suites and consider staying there again if we get back to Malta.

Dear Jonathan Considering the extra quality time dedicated to you and your wife, by myself and the staff in view of your age and physical and mobility limitations I would have expected a 10/10 in line with previous reviews from other guests who were far less demanding. It is a personal affront to have points deducted for no particular reason same as it is an affront not to leave staff any gratuities when everyone was exceedingly helpful. That is life I suppose.

Terrific location within Valletta, close to the city center around St John's co-Cathedral. The palazzo also provides a beautifully decorated, old world feel which greatly enhances a stay in Malta. Amenities, including an excellent daily breakfast and a welcoming bottle of wine also help ensure an enjoyable vacation. And Frank, the genial host and manager, is also readily available with tips and offers of assistance to make sure you get the most out of your time in Malta.

An intimate stay in a very old city
The search for accommodation is sometimes a lucky-dip. You might consider booking 5 star hotels or do you consider alternatives? We needed a room to attend a friend’s wedding and fortunately we found The Palazzo Valletta Suites. It was very close to the wedding venue and everything else in the old city. A little boutique and certainly unique, an old building in an old city (early 1600’s) and a feeling of you being part of the home rather than just another guest. Mine Host Frank shares his home, antiquities, paintings and literature with all of his guests, all of this in a quiet and welcoming atmosphere. Frank’s property has only 5 suites. He and his enthusiastic staff deliver an excellent standard of service thus ensuring a memorable stay. Palazzo Valletta Suites might not be for everyone but then again with only 5 suites it is constantly booked out which is testament to the overall quality of this property. We just loved it. And finally, Valletta is an amazing city, you really can’t do it justice in a day, a couple of days or a week for that matter. We stayed for 10 nights. And lastly, the best complimentary WIFI experienced on our European travels.

Very conveniently located hotel with lots of character. The owner is friendly and helpful as are all the staff. We had a good breakfast every day of our week long stay. There is a beautiful view from the roof terrace of the hotel. Our room was quiet but long and narrow and we are not sure that the design layout really works that well. We believe that there are better, more spacious rooms in the hotel. There is a lack of storage space around the wash hand basin from which water splashed easily. Would be very happy to stay again, though not especially in that room.

Charming hotel in Historic Valletta.
We found this beautiful limestone structure hotel to be everything we could want. The staff were very warm and friendly, treated us like much welcome family. Frank was a very gracious host. He was horrified when he found Air France had misplaced our luggage. His numerous calls on our behalf to the airport was instrumental in the quick recovery of the lost items. And his knowledge of the surrounding area with its many activities was greatly appreciated when we were planning our list of things to do. And when it was time to depart, he made certain the taxi showed up when he was supposed to so we could make our flights. Staying at his apartment-hotel was just a delightful experience which I would recommend to anyone.

Super place in the centre of Valletta
After decades of travelling, this has got to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. The hotel is full of character and a pleasant contrast from the "you could be anywhere in the world, similar rooms are us" hotel chains. Efficient air conditioned room, comfortable bed, bang up-to-date bathroom, spacious sitting area with many English-speaking TV channels (also Italian, German etc). The copious breakfast menu changes every day (but special requests are possible) and sets you up for a day of activity or relaxation. There is a communal lounge and a roof terrace with a great view over the Grand Harbour towards the Three Cities. A few minutes away are a selection of restaurants, bars and shops, it is a great location. We visited in March and the area was very quiet at night. The staff were always helpful. Best of all however is Frank who owns, loves and runs the place. Nothing is too much trouble, he is a lovely caring and endearing man, the type who should be signed up to run customer care courses.
