Palazzo Violetta

As my flight arrived late in the evening I made arrangements with the hotel direct to book me a taxi which worked well. I was given a warm welcome and shown my room which was lovely. It had a king size bed, a walk in shower and unusual to me a large but self contained unit containing all you would need if you wanted to self cater--it had a sink, fridge, microwave and a kettle with coffee / tea/milk plus more. I took the opportunity of having breakfast in the hotel each morning for 13 euros per day and it was well worth it. A large selection of hot and cold food was available and a very decent drinks machine produced good quality coffee.The 'Breakfast Team' were lovely and ensured everything was replenished as necessary and kept the room spotless---although I sat inside there are tables outside near the swimming pool which I am sure are used quite extensively in the summer months---a lovely set up. The Housekeeping Team did a great job and my room was spotless when I returned each day. Last but not least I must compliment the Reception Team who were very personable and always willing to help-special mention to Jesus who was so helpful when contacting the hotel before my visit and on my first morning he made a point of coming down to the Breakfast Room to introduce himself -a real credit to the Hotel.

All the staff were super friendly and welcoming! Loved the pool, just wish it had sunshine more throughout the day. Everywhere is easily accessible! The room was great and we loved our balcony! Had the sun almost all day!

The staff was absolutely excellent- (Diego and Malich) ) very friendly and personable. I knew everyone’s name when I left. The breakfast was really good - great scrambled eggs - so good I asked how they made them- variety of breakfast meats- fresh fruit and pastries - etc - all the good things. The pool area is quite nice and very well kept. Access to the ferry for Valletta is very convenient- in under 10 minutes you can jump on the ferry and for 1 1/2 euros you have a scenic 5 min trip to Valletta. From there you can grab a shuttle up to the city center if you have any mobility issues. I would also add since this hotel is not right on the main harbor road it is much quieter. No road noice.

The hotel is very conveniently positioned and it offers access to lots of good restaurants and a vibrant scene, without being in a loud area. The staff was really great and accomodated all our needs. They have also provided some travel guides related to the island. We have spent there 3 nights and ut was perfect for us, especially that we could walk to a lot of places and even the ferry to Valetta was close. Personally, we have rented a car and the area offers quite a lot of general parking places. In case you won't find any parking in the area, the hotel also provides parking, but with a cost.

It is a beautiful building, on a quiet street and in a lovely neighborhood, with quick access to everything. The staff is friendly and helpful, always with a smile. Daily cleaning of the room and fresh towels, streaming service (Disney+), they upgraded our room for free and we had a lovely balcony. Overall a great option.
