Awesome views

We loved our room with a panoramic view at the British Suites. The sun rises right there in front of the terrace and the views of the Mediterranean are breathtaking. We had a Jacuzzi on the terrace as well but it takes a long time to warm up, we could not try it. Just enjoying a room like that after a long day of sightseeing was rewarding enough. Valletta was so much more than we had imagined, and this hotel enhanced our overall experience.

There is a restaurant & bar with an amazing view over the grand harbor. The rooms are split into 2 sections so the layout is a bit odd. A lot of steps/uneven surfaces which give it charm but could be worth noting if you have mobility issues. There are elevators but not a seamless connection throughout property. Overall great stay

Great location, great views

Located very near the centre and overlooks the harbour. Easy to access both by foot, and surrounded by places to visit. Rooms are accessed through the British Hotel and then up a 'quaint' lift that is not so good for the claustrophobic but functional. View from the sea view rooms is fantastic with plenty going on on the water. There is a public lift nearby that can take you to the water front and ferry's, well worth finding if the continual flights of stairs that are Malta get too much. Would definitely use the hotel again.

Good Stay

We had a nice stay at the British Suites. We had a room with a beautiful view of the water. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel and room had everything we needed. However, the hotel itself was a little disjointed: it was a bit of a maze to find our room, and there was no elevator service to our room. The room itself was a little rough around the edges: the walls were barren, the bathroom window needed to be replaced, the sink didn't drain, and parts of the room needed to be repainted.

Great view, less good room (penthouse with hot tub

Gorgeous view from the penthouse. Hot tub was great but took hours to heat and had not been pre heated and this was not mentioned or included in the instructions. Lots of stairs to climb as the layout of the hotel is lots of bits clearly joined together. We were note offered help up with our bags. The room was a little aged and could have done with a little maintenance. The king bed described was two singles pushed together with a double bed sheet and then two separate twin duvets. If you are looking for a lovely view and can manage lots of stairs then it was good. If not maybe rethink.

I had booked a room back in March. When we arrived,we got room #601...which was almost totally underground.The Bedroom and Bathroom were down in a very dark area ,with little natural light. When i booked the room,i asked for something on a low level,as my wife had recently had leg surgery! This room was very difficult to access,with steps up and down...plus another steep set of stairs to the bedroom,which we called the dungeon. We complained about the room,but the Hotel was fully booked. The management offered us a regular room,with a sea view,but only after we spent 3 nights in the dungeon. We accepted and spent 2 nights in a regular room with a sea view.. I had also booked a 6th night,through Expedia and the Hotel offered to refund that entirely,rather than us having to go back into room #601. They were true to their word and honoured their agreement. I thank them for that. The Hotel is in a great spot to explore Valetta and the bar and restaurant have lovely sea views,as did the room we had for 2 nights. If you book....make sure it is not #601.

The hotel itself is very close to the centre and the view from the restaurant and lounge is spectacular. The hotel arranged transforms for us from the airport to the hotel and added the service to the bill, which made cashless transactions easier. The gentleman on reception was welcoming and helpful and the room we stayed in was quite large and had everything we needed including a mini kitchen! Getting to the room was a bit of an adventure though, there are two buildings it seems that make up the hotel and therefore two sets of lifts and a short journey between the two. We stayed for one night and opted for the breakfast, it was simple but sufficient to start the day. All in all a great place to stay and would recommend if visiting!

The room was spacious and had a great view onto the harbor. Bed was comfortable and A/C was strong. The concierge was very helpful and checked on dinner reservations for us. However, getting to the room required two elevators and two flights of stairs, plus navigating twists and turns through several hallways.

Can't wait to stay there again!!

Amazing stay here. Clean and comfortable. Staff super friendly. I had an issue with my glasses 2 days before my stay here. I had sent them to the hotel where they placed them in my room ahead of my stay. Absolute gents. George was lovely and a very very friendly person. We had an issue with the toilet during our stay and within a couple of hours it was fixed. The cleaners were thorough and precise. Location was amazing for us but might not be suitable for the less able people as there are very steep hills and lots of steps.
