IBB Hotel Palazzo Bettina Malta

Chose this hotel as the reviews were already fantastic - and I can only add to them! Absolutely everything was spot on here - from the minute we walked in the door! The decor is stunning and we really felt like we were staying in a palazzo steeped in history. Our room had a little balcony with a lovely view, and a vaulted stone ceiling. Renovated to perfection with lots of little alcoves and touches that help you remember the history of the place. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and the breakfast cooked to order was a daily treat. The rooftop area is simply stunning. We were staying in December for a week but still managed to get a lot of use out of it. The pool isn't heated but was nice for a bracing dip before sinking in to the hot tub - which was gorgeous of an evening to see the lights and listen to the church bells. The location is also great - the ferry stop to Valetta is just a very short walk along the harbour and there are restaurants along the front and in the square behind if you want to stay local. Oh. And the best Gelato shop in Malta is just next door and open all hours.... Honestly - did I dream up this hotel?

Fantastic hotel, good location - quieter than Valletta but with everything you need, and a nice 10 minute ferry ride to get to Valletta, or buses nearby. Hotel has 13 room's so is not busy, has rooftop pool, jacuzzi and sun loungers. Also, really friendly and helpful staff who made everything easy. Can’t fault it and will certainly return.

If you are looking for a hotel with style, charm & amazing staff.....this is it! My wife & I have just got back from a 5 night stay & WOW, this boutique hotel made the holiday extra special. The room was excellent, the rooftop pool area outstanding, such a benefit after a few hours sightseeing around Valetta & beyond. I could go on for ages but would like to give a special mention about Roman, on reception, who couldn't be more helpful & Roma, housekeeping, who made you feel like you were the only guests she had to deal with. All the staff were very attentive & are a credit to this hotel. We often say, "we will go back there" & probably never do.......but this one...😍

Wonderful hotel with excellent hosts especially Roman who looked after us constantly. Close to all amenities but quiet and relaxing. Would go back in a heartbeat. Breakfast was delicious and the service around the pool area outstanding. Thank you from your friends from New Zealand.

The hotel is situated in an old Palazzo, beautiful! The location is excellent, away from the busy streets of Valetta, in the quiet port of Birgu. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, but lots of choice just outside the hotel. Taking the local boats to Valetta is fun, the ferry is also close by. Staff is very nice, especially Roma (housekeeping). The rooms are nice, too bad we didn’t have harbour view. The rooftop terrace is very nice, the pool and hot tub are great!

This was my first hotel on my solo trip and honestly could not have chose better. Truly an amazing experience start to finish. The staff were so attentive and friendly, the room was breathtaking, genuinely such an amazing hotel, if you are staying in Birgu here is the place
