Really good hotel only a few minutes walk from the major attractions in Valletta. Very nice rooms with high quality bath robes, a room safe and a really good selection of continental-style breakfast foods included. Without exception, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Archie, Sam and Angelina for their help and guidance during our visit. If we return to Valletta, we most certainly will stay at Palazzo Ignazio.

When we initially checked in we were given room 103. Terrible room. Not recommended. After we complained, we were given room 503. Much better, but I think that there are better options for the same price and location as this hotel.

What an amazing boutique hotel. Excellent service from the entire staff. So close to everything & the best kept secret is it’s rooftop.

An amazing 4-nights

My girlfriend and I had a lovely 4 night stay at Palazzo Ignazio. We had a room with a balcony and hot tub, which was great to relax in in the moments when we weren’t exploring the city. The rooftop bar is small but the views are amazing and we went there for a sundowner every evening. The hotel is well located for exploring the city. A special mention to all the staff who went out of the way to help us throughout our stay.

Excellent Hotel in Great Location

I had a great stay at Palazzo Ignacio! The location was perfect and it was easy to walk to Merchants Street, Republic Street, and the main attractions in Valletta. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, answering questions, providing a map, and arranging a taco to the cruise port. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The rooftop terrace had amazing views and was a nice place to relax after a busy day of touring around town. We even saw fireworks on our second night! I would not hesitate to stay at the Palazzo Ignacio during my next trip to Valletta!

Antoine and his team were friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. This boutique hotel is within walking distance of the main streets, museums, palaces, restaurants, and eateries in this beautiful historic city. It was a pleasure staying at their hotel and one that I would recommend to any would-be travelers to Valletta. Bez

Omg! This place is a fabulous find. A boutique hotel located close to lots if places to explore in Valletta. We were there for only one night in advance of a cruise- but I’d come back in a heartbeat! Staff took such good care of us! The rooftop bar is a gem. Thank you so much.

smart modern boutique hotel, themed in dark grey. Very efficient service, helpful staff, good lift serving all floors, including roof top with fabuous views over the grand harbour. Very comfortable bed, large spacious room. Good bathroom but it suffered from being over deisgned - nothing as vulgar as somewhere practical to hang our towels..!.Uninspired and rather limited breakfast.

Excellent service and hot tubs!

We booked one of the suites with a balcony hot tub and it absolutely made the last weekend of our trip. The place is so cute and central in Valletta, and the employees really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing, whether it was helping us heat up the hot tub or booking the spa, opening wine, giving directions, providing coffee when my room was being prepared, replenishing our water in the room, etc. The general manager Antoine even came to speak to us at the end of our stay and ensure everything had been great. The breakfast is in the attached cafe and has pastries, meat, cheese, hardboiled eggs, juice, and made to order coffees. There is also an amazing spa on the first floor that is free for guests, just book a time slot and you get private access to the jacuzzi and sauna in there and can bring your own drinks in, we loved it! We were there off season so rooftop bar was closed. Overall incredible stay, highly recommend.

We had a fantastic break in Valetta but were ultimately somewhat disappointed with the hotel. The hotel itself was beautifully renovated and decorated and the rooms lovely, all very stylish. The rooftop bar is not a bar, just a roof terrace (fabulous views of Valetta!), if you want a drink up there you have to phone or WhatsApp the reception six floors below! There is no other bar! We had a couple of issues, in themselves not huge problems, just hiccups but the way they were handled was nothing short of hopeless, with barely an apology from the manager - who was the actual problem! Lovely stylish property, great location and should be better than it is.

Ah, what a lovely place to stay! Very central location — not too close to the busy tourist streets, but still an easy walk to everything. The roof terrace was fabulous. They brought breakfast up there a few times — such a great way to start the morning. The staff were very diligent, respectful, and accommodating. They made our 30th celebration truly memorable — we even extended our trip and had to change rooms for the second booking, which they handled seamlessly. Water pressure was absolutely fine — it took a moment for the water to warm up, but no issues at all.
