    • It¿s a beautiful hotel, but the staff goes above and beyond.
    • The friendliness of the staff was exceptional, I had a nice chat with them, they helped me with everything :) They even surprised me with a birthday treat, which absolutely made my day! Thank you so much!Also the spa was really nice: a pool with nice temperature water, steam room, salt room - I had a really good time there.I can also recommend the hair saloon, without appointment they did a blowdry in excellent quality.If ever going to Malta again, I'll definitely stay at the Phoenicia.
    • The concistency of the qualified service, cleaning, hospitality of the staff, quick solution for every need, very well prepared for every possible need, awesome SPA, the Restaurant Contessa is the best in all Valetta

    Location, cleanliness, support staff

    Bathtub/no stand-in shower, no eating venues between 11am & noon except in-room dining

    10TeresaPosted on: 10-11-2025

    People were wonderful. Courtyard lobby terrific. Great afternoon tea incl gluten-free items. Gorgeous gardens.

    For me, comfort is correlated with rug in the bedroom. This non-descripti scrap of rug was just enough to accommodate morning exercises. The decor cd have popped with more and better rug. (Sorry to be picky.)

    10RitaPosted on: 10-6-2025

    room was beautiful ,beds were so comfortable .we received complementary a bottle of bubbly and 10 euro voucher to used at the Spa and some sweet treats such a lovely touch . we didn't have breakfast as we normally do not at home but did have food at the pool bar which was of a high standard. The staff were all so helpful and service was exceptional . I did avail of the spa I had a massage which was divine. I most certainly will run to this hotel whenever I return to Valetta

    no complaints at all

    Fine location near the gate to ValettaLovely common areas Good breakfast

    The hotel felt at times like a home for aged British tourists. I suspect they made up 70-80 percent of the clientele. Perfectly decent people but the age skew made things decidedly odd.

    Fantastic location infront of the gates and along the bastion walls. Small rooms but very well maintained. Pool is wonderful located along city walls with a great view and very attentive pool staff.

    10AngelosPosted on: 8-8-2025

    the room are modern and full of Italian finesse. This bed and mattress are unfrgetable for a well deserved sleep.

    the hotel is a pricey for what it offers but it is one of the best hotels of the world.

    The gym, the spa, the Beef Bar, the staff, the gardens, Contessa.

    10AngusPosted on: 7-4-2025

    Friendly staff, great location, wonderful breakfast location and food

    Pillows were too thick and large but they brought up other ones for me

    8ChenghezPosted on: 7-2-2025

    Excellent Location, right in the heart of Valletta. Friendly and professional staff.

    The rooms were more basic than expected vis-a-vis the price per room. So value for money can be better.

    7KirillPosted on: 6-5-2025

    We paid 1 150 euro for 1 night. The room was small, the bed was double, not comfortable. Pillows also not comfortable. TV was the size of the computer screen.

    Beautiful gardens, incredible pool, and fantastic lobby! Literally one of the most unique and beautiful pools I’ve ever had the pleasure of swimming in. Staff did an excellent job of going above and beyond to take care of everyone too. Not just our group - it was nice to hear them caring for the other guests as well.

    9DevPosted on: 4-24-2025

    all good...stylish but in a modern way...we were given a deluxe room with small balcony and goof view (yacht marina)

    walk-in shower would have been nice. the surround area/s - car park etc could be improved

    9AnnPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Fantastic location, nice hotel and excellent service. Especially the concierge Mario was super helpful to make our stay unforgettable!

    9Anne-mariePosted on: 4-14-2025

    Beautiful, classic hotel in perfect location. Lovely gardens and spectacular pool area. Very professional and friendly staff.

    Given how expensive it is, the rooms are looking a bit tired and could do with an upgrade

    9MarnickPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Very nice and clean room with superb view of the harbor

    9SarahPosted on: 3-15-2025

    Calm . Much nicer than a nearby hotel which I abandoned. Nice service. Lovely gardens
