Good located, be prepared for noise from street

It's on a busy restaurant street. If you are facing that road be ready for noise (either from diners / happy go lucky folks in the evening / night time as well as cleaners / garbage collectors in the morning hours. The windows don't really noise insulate well. Staff are generally friendly. Good location in old town. More of a 3* hotel than 4* but I think this star inflation is common in Malta.

Disappointing stay

Considering this was a 4 star hotel, I was disappointed with the standard of accommodation. My first room I was allocated to had a broken shower and the attempted “repair” of the problem seemed unprofessional. Eventually I had to move rooms after I had unpacked which was frustrating. During my last day, the power went out for hours ( we had no AC, electricity, use of the lift, lights -even no emergency lighting in the stairwell so I had to use my phone torch to see! ) when eventually they moved us to a different hotel after multiple complaints. It was very inconvenient to say the least to keep moving rooms/ having things not working rather than just enjoying my stay. I suggest that the hotel checks the rooms are suitable before opening to paying guests. For the positives, the location was right in the centre of Valletta and the beds were comfortable. Staff were also helpful.

Great staff, superb room, and central location

De Vilhena Boutique Hotel offers a great location to see Valletta and Malta. It is close to St. John’s Co Cathedral, the ferry ports, cafes, restaurants, and retail. The property provided a well-lit, efficiently designed, and comfortable room with effective AC. The balcony view, well-equipped bathroom, and nice bedding were excellent. The elevator and rooftop view served as added bonuses. Finally, the staff are exceptional. They are good communicators and knowledgeable about Malta which helps visitors. The cleaning, check in, and checkout were great. They were extremely helpful. I would return to this hotel.

Super helpful hotel team in central Valletta

The cleanliness and location of this hotel is perfect for exploring Valletta. Everything is within easy walking distance. I would say initially I was in a front facing 1st floor room and there is a fair bit of noise from the street in the evening so if you're sensitive to noise/not going to be out late then request a different floor. I have to say the team here were AMAZING in sorting this out. I asked one evening if it was possible to swap rooms the next day and in the morning they were so proactive at sorting this out so I couldn't ask for a better service. The entire time the team were so helpful & understadnding during check out as I needed somewhere to take a work call. Would recommend this place for sure!!!

Nice boutique hotel in central Valletta. On sidestreet next to St Georges square, plenty of restaurants right on the doorstep with no problem of noise from within the hotel itself. Spacious room with good air con, small balcony area (no view). Pleasant terrace and restaurant on the roof. Friendly reception.

Not very boutique but perfect location

Room - furniture minimalistic but fine for short stay. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and great air conditioning. Room cleaned and bed linens changed every day. View. - room 205 described as city view, well it was a view of a wall. Plus side rooms on this side were much quieter then any on the front due to restaurants and bars next door. Facilities- maybe down to covid but no breakfast available and rooftop bar not open. Location - absolutely perfect. Bang in the centre of Valletta, very short walk to Sliema ferry and St George’s square. Staff - all very friendly and helpful Valletta is an amazing city and this hotel is a great base to explore but it’s not a place full of 4 star facilities and extras . 8/10

Great Hotel in the heart of Valletta.

I had a great stay at this hotel well located in Valletta. Many things are still shut down due to Covid 19 but the staff was great and I received an upgrade to a suite. It was lovely.

Unforgetable experience

The staff were great. Very friendly and always smiling. The hotel needed a lot of repairs. We had to change our room three times because the water heaters were not working. In one of the rooms the toilet was leaking big time. The breakfast was not that great. Also one day chef dint show up and we had to settle for coffee and juice.
