Lovely small boutique hotel with amazing views from the rooftop. Great location near the boat to Valletta but we preferred Birgu!

We will come back to you :)))

We were treated very very well from the moment of our arrival . Offered a coffee and hold our things until room was ready . Room was big, bed comfortable and a fridge ! Free coffee and water. It was my wife’s birthday and they put music and a cake so she could blow a candle also free prosecco and a card for her!! We could use the swimming pool and towels until time to go . Amazing stay ! We will be back !

Exceptionally nice, outstanfing hospitality!

If you are more into small boutique hotels rather than staying at at one of the grand hotel complexes as you find them everywhere around the world, , the Bettina Palazzo is definitely a place you will feel comfortable. The rather small but truly stylish hotel is located just a few steps above the harbourg in beautiful Birgu, so getting to Valletta by water Taxi is just a question of a few minutes, the roof top pool is amazing, the staff exceptionally helpful, friendly and forthcoming. I rarely write reviews, but this one is so well deserved, staying at Bettina Palazzo will definitely help to make your stay in Malta as pleasant as possible. If you are having breakfast in the hotel, plan a bit more time as usual, as everything is ordered from a menu, so it might take a few minutes, but everything is freshly prepared and the specials on the menu are very delicious. Good to know that they still exist, those hidden small secrets! Book your stay here, you definitely won‘t regret it!

A very lovely, boutique hotel

A very lovely boutique hotel where everything was just perfect. The room was clean, comfortable beds and we had everything we needed. There was a nice selection of things for breakfast, we can recommend the scrambled eggs and the chocolate croissants! The staff were charming and nothing was too much trouble. The rooftop pool area was lovely, very relaxing after a day of sight seeing. This was in fact, one of the loveliest hotels we have ever stayed in.
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at the Palazzo Bettina as a family of six adults. Maxime and the other staff are a credit to the hotel. We were greeted by Maxime, showed to our rooms and then served drinks by the rooftop pool. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and were very helpful and always engaging. Birgu is a very pretty place and quiet away from the crowds. We all agreed it was a perfect place to stay but the ferry to Valletta is easy for a more lively evening. We definitely recommend the Palazzo Bettina and thank you Maxime and staff for a lovely warm welcome. We didn’t want to leave!

Stylish and top boutique hotel? That‘s it!

If you prefer a small boutique hotel to a well known big hotel complex as you‘ll find them all around the world, this is definitely a place you will like. Exceptionally friendly, helpful and forthcoming staff, perfect location just a 100 meters away from water-taxis to Valletta. Birgu is a great place to stay. I very rarely write reviews, but this place so much deserves it, I definitely recommend it, you won‘t be dissapointed! If you opt for the breakfast in the hotel, plan a bit more time, as everything is to be ordered from the menu, everything is freshly prepared, definitely try the specials, they are very delicious! You only might look for another place if you are using a wheelchair or have difficulties in climbing a few steps, as the hotels has some steps that you can‘t mind. Cool rooftop and pool area, stylish architecture, this boutique hotel is definitely a secret of Malta!

The 17th century building is tastefully renovated and the location is great for strolling thru the old town and harbor. The personnel is sincere, helpful and friendly, making the stay most enjoyable and relaxing.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I am a very frequent traveller and have been for many years with work and personal travel. I have high expectations and these are rarely met but my time at the hotel was fantastic. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. The pool and view is stunning. I will definitely go back

I had originally booked a different hotel, but changed to this one and wow did I strike lucky! Everything was wonderful, from the location in beautiful Birgu, the room, the staff, the breakfast, the rooftop pool and the kindness and attention that was extended to everyone who stayed here. I would especially mention Alberto, Dora and Roma who are all an absolute delight, and despite the fact I only stayed for four nights it still felt I had become part of their family.

Blandad upplevelse

Väldigt fint hotell och mycket nöjd med rummet. Trevlig personal. Däremot är det förfärligt när man vistas tre nätter på ett hotell och varmvatten saknas. Fick duscha hos en vän. Ändå tas betalt för en chokladbit från minibaren när man checkar ut. Det är dålig kundvård, men som sagt fint hotell i övrigt.

Veldig bra hotell!

Et glimrende hotell. Rolig beliggenhet, men med kort avstand til gode restauranter og andre servicefunksjoner. Hurtigbåt til Valetta kun 3-4 min gange fra hotellet. Båten tar mindre enn 10 min og er bare et fint lite mini-cruise. Veldig god frokost. Alt serveres ved bordet - ingen buffet. Rent og pent og fremstår som nytt. Flott takterrasse med god plass. Ekstremt hyggelige ansatte fra vaskepersonell til resepsjonist. 24/7 bemannet resepsjon. Kun 13 rom så personlig service. Kan absolutt anbefales.
