There was NO view as the room only had a blocked window onto a hallway!!! This is not satisfactory and when mentioned to staff, there was no response. I had booked for 4 nights and hoped to get moved, but was told that was impossible. I think I should receive a refund for part of my stay !!!

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.

Right in the action on Republic. Old school classy hotel that was nevertheless very comfortable thanks to the friendly staff especially Maria. Amazing bed & luxurious towels. Loved the third floor terrace & the tiny gym with a well. Just be aware the hotel is right next to the opera which can be noisy until about 11 pm if there’s a performance and a few nights of rehearsal leading up to it. May help if the windows were double or triple paned.

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.

A very healthy breakfast with muesli as well as cheese, meats, breads and delicious pastries with pistachio cream, and fresh fruit and yogurt and fresh brewed coffee. The room was spacious, modern, and bed was huge and sheets comfortable. Our room had an enclosed porch with table and chairs where we could see the street views. Quiet and comfortable. To terrace was perfect to view other islands and the ocean and just relax after a full day of sightseeing. Staff were so helpful with maps and suggestions of sights, bus schedules, and delicious restaurants nearby.

Great view from rooftop only usable when the sun is low as there are no umbrellas...what a shame to pay for that important amenity and have it's use reduced. Large junior suite, breakfast room very small and offerrings were plentiful but average. Walkable to everything, reasonable value
