Recent renovations have restored the character of the building with a modern touch. ##### janine Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This sweet little boutique hotel within Old Town Valletta met our needs perfectly for three nights prior to boarding a cruise ship. They can arrange a shuttle from the airport for you so that door-to-door access is possible. Outstanding restaurant in-house (Risette). Great staff. We absolutely loved it. ##### Deborah Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in suite #7 the roofs top patio was enchanting. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 30 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place.

Hazel and crew. Were very nice.. However: my booked rooms roof was leaking. Second room#5 was the best. The third nights room had smells and had to climb to my sleeping area. Middle of the night had to find my way down to the washroom going steep stairwells…. ##### Ken Yin sang Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### May 30 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excelente staff - everyone has a smile and very friendly.

Lots of bars, restaurants and sights nearby. Room small and basic (to be expected in a small boutique hotel) but clean and well maintained. Had balcony which was nice, and gave additional space. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. ##### Hannah Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kineret 2 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Location, location, location.

We loved this boutique hotel so much, we came back twice in the same month. The staff are friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The rooms have a lot of character while also being quite comfortable. The included breakfast was also excellent and made to order. Our entire stay was cozy, relaxed, and we felt well cared for. ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paige 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Top Tier Stay! Everything about my stay here was fantastic. The staff were exuberant. The location was central yet quiet. The rooms were comfortable and had character. The complimentary breakfast was made to order and quite tasty. Casa Ellul was one of the best stays I’ve had in a very long time and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone traveling to Malta. ##### Paige Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Preluna Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-The-Preluna-Hotel.h558176.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Floriana-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior.h1685894.Hotel-Information) > > [The Phoenicia Malta - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Floriana-Hotels-The-Phoenicia-Malta.h518882.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdi St Georges Bay Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Julians-Hotels-Verdi-St-Georges-Bay-Marina.h1124418.Hotel-Information) > > [Alavits Hotel by ST Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gzira-Hotels-Alavits-Hotel-By-ST-Hotels.h89705272.Hotel-Information) > > [AX The Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-AX-The-Palace.h1699393.Hotel-Information) > > [1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-1926-Hotel-SPA.h21308320.Hotel-Information) > > [Azur Hotel by ST Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gzira-Hotels-Azur-Hotel-By-ST-Hotels.h30653151.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdi Gzira Promenade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gzira-Hotels-Hotel-Verdi.h83975871.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort St Angelo Mansions, Harbour Views Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birgu-Hotels-Fort-St-Angelo-Mansions.h45283330.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia Palace Malta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Attard-Hotels-Corinthia-Palace-Malta.h17487.Hotel-Information) > > [Solana Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-Solana-Hotel-Spa.h1384076.Hotel-Information) > > [Xemxija Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Pauls-Bay-Hotels-Porto-Azzurro-Aparthotel.h1717690.Hotel-Information) > > [Cugo Gran Macina Malta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Senglea-Hotels-Cugo-Gran-Macina-Grand-Harbour.h19771346.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramla Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-Ramla-Bay-Resort.h897060.Hotel-Information) > > [Land's End Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-Lands-End-Boutique-Hotel.h72574820.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Castagna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghaxaq-Hotels-Palazzo-Castagna.h91725194.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Spa Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-LABRANDA-Riviera-Hotel-Spa.h986091.Hotel-Information) > > [Talbot and Bons Boutique Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gudja-Hotels-Talbot-And-Bons-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h24429586.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Gozo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghajnsielem-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Gozo.h1350444.Hotel-Information) > > [AX The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-AX-The-Victoria-Hotel.h788902.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza Regency Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-Plaza-Regency-Hotels.h2925839.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritim Antonine Hotel & Spa Malta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Hotels-Maritim-Antonine-Hotel-Spa-Malta.h919288.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-Diplomat-Hotel.h109428.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia St George's Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Julians-Hotels-Corinthia-St-Georges-Bay.h9122.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerviola Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marsaskala-Hotels-Cerviola-Hotel.h8256075.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort, Malta St. Julian's](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Julians-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Resort.h63558.Hotel-Information) > > [Gillieru Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Pauls-Bay-Hotels-Gillieru-Harbour-Hotel.h2205941.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sliema-Hotels-Waterfront.h2835070.Hotel-Information) > > [115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gzira-Hotels-115-The-Strand-Hotel-By-NEU-Collective.h1641882.Hotel-Information)
