"The Iniala Harbour House is a fabulous property. The experience they’ve designed for their guests is simply flawless. Our suite was amazing, with beautiful touches everywhere we looked. By far the very best in Malta. "
"Interesting structure but small spaces, especially the bathroom. Bathroom fixtures should be replaced due to wear. The noise from a manhole cover caused by cars passing on the street is annoying, as is the unpleasant odor in the evenings. However, the structure and location are appealing; a pleasant holiday."
"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."
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Pjazza Merkanti and would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Malta. We were right in the heart of the city Valetta and everything was so easy to get to. Lovely modern, spacious and clean rooms and beautiful roof terrace."

The Phoenicia Malta - The Leading Hotels of the World
10/10 Excellent
"Simply put, its one of the classic elegant properties in the heart of the old city, but peace and quite once you get into the hotel. Frequently the sounds of cannons maybe heard but added character. Rooms where lovely and we had a super view. Best food at Beef Bar as well ! Great bars and lovely pool ! "
"This might be a 5* hotel, but the staff? Easily 6*—and that’s me being modest. From the second we stepped in, Ash (probably not his real name—I wasn’t wearing my contacts) welcomed us like long-lost friends, upgraded us to a balcony room for free, and basically set the “wow” bar sky-high. Inside: personal welcome on the TV, complimentary wine and water (we don’t drink, but still—classy), perfectly cool air, fresh linens, beds like clouds, and blackout curtains that kept the sunrise at bay.
Pro tip: bring earplugs if you nap in the day—the air-con hums, and there’s some construction across the street until mid-2026. Nights are blissfully quiet, at the hotel- though further afield it’s a clubbing scene, far enough from the hotel so you can sleep peacefully Poolside? Heaven. Staff float over with offer of drinks so you can stay horizontal and happy without lifting more than an eyebrow.Sure, the rooms could use more charging sockets and a little tech facelift, but with service like this, who’s counting plugs? Breakfast is the real showstopper: a spread so glorious you might weep—flaky pastries, figs, fruits, cheeses, cereals, local treats, full English (yes, veggie sausages!), fresh juices, honeycomb, and the best omelet of my life—offered personally by the chef. Venita made breakfast seating effortless.
This isn’t just a hotel—it’s proof that people make the place. I’d come back here for the staff alone, and wish I could’ve left more than just a “thank you” when we said goodbye."

From the moment we booked, the hotel was in touch, making sure they had everything they needed for our stay. Check-in was smooth and quick, and the staff were welcoming from the first hello.
I had asked for a birthday surprise for my niece, and they made it happen perfectly — even tailoring it to meet our halal requirements. It’s those little touches that really make a difference.
The staff here are brilliant — friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to help. I’d definitely recommend using the hotel’s taxi service instead of Bolt or Uber. The cars are clean, spacious, and really comfortable. Our airport pickup driver, Omar, was polite and professional, making our arrival stress-free.
There was a small hiccup with our return transfer booking (caused by the hotel, not the taxi company), but Lucienne from the hotel sorted everything out. She suggested a better pick-up time, which meant I got an extra hour of sleep, and she got us to the airport in great time. She honestly saved the day.
The location is spot-on — walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront, with easy access to explore more of Malta. Our room was modern, big, and spotless, with everything we needed to be comfortable.
We felt looked after from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in Malta.

"We traveled to Malta from Texas and this is one of the nicest if not the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. The room was immaculate, the view was heavenly, the staff is so incredibly helpful and courteous. We enjoyed the M Club and will definitely be doing that in our next stay with Marriott. I cannot say enough nice things about how lovely this experience was at the Malta Marriott. Thank you!"
"The only thing I would say in terms of improvements is perhaps to better train the staff at breakfast. The supervisor was good but no one proactively came and asked for coffee/tea orders. The staff were nice, no question, I just think they could be better trained to be more attentive to the visitors. It felt like they had been trained to be attentive to the table cleanliness only (which is obviously a good thing!)
My other observation is that in the evenings the restaurant receives visitors who want to Instagram photos of the beautiful view but the people doing it don’t really consider their impact to the people trying to have a quiet meal right next to their photo taking. It would be good if staff could move the Instagrammers on to a quieter area to allow diners to enjoy their meals and the view in peace.
Food was really good tho!! "
"A fantastic boutique hotel, with the most incredibly helpful staff. The rooms were fantastic and they were cleaned every day, which we didnt expect. The breakfast included was again more than we expected and there was a great choice as well. The pool area at the top the hotel was again a nice area to relax and was spotless and there was a small bar to enjoy drinks and snacks.
Once again I couldn't recommend this hotel enough. The staff are a credit to their company and a special thanks to Sandtosh for looking after me and wife at Breakfast time. "
"Just a 4 day stay with no breakfast included however a fab hotel in a convenient location. It was my birthday (we never mentioned this) but returned to a super tasty chocolate cake with a note which was a nice touch. Would definitely rebook here! ☺️"
