This is a unique property in an old building which has been restored, in our view there isn't much sound proofing between the rooms as we could hear chairs being moved in neighbouring rooms and people chatting in the corridor and an argument in reception one morning. The person that checked us in was lovely and extremely helpful, but another staff member was unhelpful when I asked for ear plugs, even suggesting that the noises were imaginary. The spiral stairs were also noisy and getting a suit case up them difficult, with the bathroom on the lower level night times were fun. Lighting was mostly with spot lights (plus 2 bedside lamps on the upper level) which were very bright, adding a floor lamp on the lower levelwould be a good idea. Apart from 2 metal chairs on the balcony the only other seating was the sofa bed which wasn't comfortable, given the room was sold as accomodating 4 people a 2 person sofa seems somewhat lacking. The kitchenette was useful but there wasn't really space to store anything we purchased without a lot of moving things around. It did have a decent selection of plates, glasses etc and even a t-towel and washing up liquid. Privacy might be an issue for a family as the glass partition between the living space and bathroom doesn't lock and is only frosted in the middle. The breakfast option is useful with hot and cold choices, there are shops near by and cafes about 10 minutes away as an alternative.

Beautifully appointed hotel

Absolutely beautiful hotel with very friendly, charming helpful staff. Our room was very spacious with axnuce view of the pool (a rarity) in the old quarter. The only comment i would say, is, make sure you wear your walking shoes as the hill up from the bay is quite taxing. Good to walk off dinner & drinks. Special thx to Diago (top guy)

Property is up a hill from Sliema front. We are used to hills but not the 34 degree (feels like 38 degree) heat. But if you don't want to walk there are plenty of taxis and public transport.

Good choice at breakfast with either cooked breakfast or continental. Hotel is in a residential area so relatively quiet. Walk to sea front takes about 15mins and is all downhill, coming back takes a bit longer. You can get a taxi from the sea front to hotel for approx 3 euros.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Palazzo Violetta at the end of April 2024. The hotel is spotless, the staff were friendly and helpful and we will stay here again, it is a very good location for buses/ferries but we will request a different room. We were located at the front of the hotel and it was quite noisy, we could have asked to move rooms but did not want to re-pack so we just endured the noise. The walk back to the hotel is all uphill which is fine if you are mobile. There are not many restaurants within immediate walking distance however there were more along the seafront facing Valletta. There are a few coffee shops within walking distance, but prices seemed to vary, we were able to request coffee from the bar in the hotel which was helpful. Our room had a mini-kitchen but only with instant coffee which we do not drink and there is a small supermarket within walking distance. I would recommend Hotel Palazzo Violetta as a place to stay when in Malta.

Great hotel in Sliema

We had a very nice stay at Palace Violetta. The hotel is on a quiet street set a few minutes walk from the potentially noisy harbour. Jurgen and his staff are all very helpful. We took advantage of the airport collection that was arranged by the hotel which was excellent. The buffet breakfast was good and there are tables outside by the pool. We stayed three days - but would have been happy to stay longer.

A beautiful hotel in a quiet neighbourhood of Sliema, it is perfect walking distance to Balluta bay, St Julian’s and Sliema. There are many lovely restaurants in the immediate local area, plus little mini marts selling bottled water and snacks. We found all of the staff here were really friendly and helpful, we had breakfast on a couple of the days and it did not disappoint. They had a wide variety of food to cater to all and offered a variety of hot and cold drinks. The hotel room was beautiful and spotless, with a mini bar (paid extras) and complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. House keeping were brilliant, very trustworthy and worked around your needs. Local transport links are just around the corner with multiple bus stops along the road, and a ten minute walk to the ferry at Sliema, that gets you to Valetta in less than 15 minutes and is much more enjoyable than the bus journey! I would highly recommend this hotel and would visit again when I next stay in Malta! Ten out of ten.
