Palazzo Spinola

A great hotel overall with an even better fancy restaurant!! The hotel is located in a great area, close to the sea and other restaurants. It was clean and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was nice and the rooms were comfortable. The only downside was that parking had to be done on the street (and the streets are quite small) unless you want to pay extra for parking. However, it wasn’t a massive inconvenience, so overall a great place to stay!!

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.

Best hotel in Malta— I’m convinced! Beautiful facilites, wonderful staff and gorgeous views. 10/10!
