We had an excellent stay at Palazzo Ignazio. The location is perfect, the amenities are great and the staff extremely friendly.
We particularly loved watching the sunset from the rooftop terrace.
Thank you to the entire team for the hospitality!

Entrance no wheelchair accessible two steps, hotel fully accessible once inside, including the roof, good size rooms walking shower. Staff amazing nothing was too much. We celebrated my wife's birthday, I pre ordered a cake and candles to surprise her, asked for it to be brought out during breakfast, staff arrived singing happy birthday, guests joined in, very special moment. Breakfast was ample, I asked for soft boiled eggs, done to perfection, not one on each day, we loved the balcony that was attached to our room, we could see the sea, views from the roof of the hotel are spectacular. Enjoy

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.

Gita at the front desk is wonderful! She is so friendly and informative. Many dining options within 2-3 blocks, walking distance to many historical/cultural sites including St. John Co-Cathedral.

Our room was clean, well appointed and had a nice view of the grand harbour. The location is quiet enough but also within a 5 to 10 minute walk of anything you could want. The staff were all wonderful and took the time to make sure their guests were getting the information they required. When I reported an issue with the room to the management team after our first night they were genuinely concerned and had a maintenance team in that afternoon to rectify the issue. The rooftop patio boasts stunning views of Valletta and was a great place to have a bottle of wine. So why only four stars? The breakfast was sparse for a four star hotel - limited option and repeated each day. But the bigger issue was the hot water. We were told that it can take 7 or 8 minutes of running the water to get hot water up to the 5th floor and that they were telling the truth. You would have to run the water at least that long to get it hot, which we did not love - it felt very wasteful.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay, hotel was perfect. Room was great. Clean and bright, bed very comfortable ,we even had a small balcony. We had breakfast on the roof top terrace, no extra charge. The continental breakfast was great with a good selection. Good location with easy walk to main centre but was also quiet at night. We will definitely be returning hopefully next year.
One small issue was with the internal shower glass door which didn’t have any type of knob or handle on the inside. So my friend who is about 5 foot couldn’t reach the top of the door, so was stuck there until I opened it for her. Other than that a perfect stay all round

Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Spacious rooms & very quiet & comfortable. However, the shower didn’t drain well & water leaked out on to the bathroom floor.

Nice but could have been amazing

Really nice hotel and pleasant staff. A bit disorganised... rooftop breakfast ought to have been a stunner but the area is in a state of poor repair and we had to go in search of the pre ordered breakfast.
I really recommend a member of staff stays as a guest! Our room lacked practicality ... you can't be eco and leave your towels on the rail if there is no rail.

Excellent Hotel in Great Location

I had a great stay at Palazzo Ignacio! The location was perfect and it was easy to walk to Merchants Street, Republic Street, and the main attractions in Valletta. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, answering questions, providing a map, and arranging a taxi to the cruise port. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The rooftop terrace had amazing views and was a nice place to relax after a busy day of touring around town. We even saw fireworks on our second night! I would not hesitate to stay at the Palazzo Ignacio during my next trip to Valletta!

Perfect location in Valletta

I was looking for a central hotel that was still somewhat affordable and glad I chose this one. My favorite part was being able to have breakfast in my room for no extra charge. That is much more comfortable than sitting in a small room solo. The staff was great for communication prior to arriving when I had flight delays. The room was comfortable overall, however the bed was one of the worst. That would not stop me from staying there again if in the city.

We had a fantastic break in Valetta but were ultimately somewhat disappointed with the hotel. The hotel itself was beautifully renovated and decorated and the rooms lovely, all very stylish. The rooftop bar is not a bar, just a roof terrace (fabulous views of Valetta!), if you want a drink up there you have to phone or WhatsApp the reception six floors below! There is no other bar! We had a couple of issues, in themselves not huge problems, just hiccups but the way they were handled was nothing short of hopeless, with barely an apology from the manager - who was the actual problem! Lovely stylish property, great location and should be better than it is.
