Top Merchant Street Market Hotel Reviews

San Karlu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, a great location and a short walk to Valette but away from the busy streets. Hotel was very clean and tidy and staff were so polite and friendly. We would stay again."

Grand Hotel Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this amazing property. It was dated but in excellent shape. I love everything."

Palazzo Ignazio

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely room with a small balcony when we stayed for 3 nights. Very well located with the main streets of Valletta literally just around the corner. We took breakfast on the roof top each morning, great start to the day. Great air-conditioning, certainly needed in August, lovely bathroom with plenty of hot water. €20 Bolt from the airport, Would recommend"

Palais Le Brun

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent in every way!!!"

Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Lovely, clean room very comfortable with a great breakfast. Would highly recommend and return in the future. 10 out of 10"

The Barrister

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely everything was 10 out of 10 ."

The Embassy Valletta Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very clean, modern, very nice hotel in a fantastic location if you want to enjoy the nightlife, cafes, bars, music along Strait Street. I only have one complaint. They pump so much "air freshener" into the lobby and public areas that it nearly makes your eyes water. It seeps into the rooms. Also the hand soap and lotion in the bathroom have got to be 50% perfume; and not good expensive perfume, the rancid cheap perfume that your aunt Bertha would wear. My wife made the mistake of trying some of the lotion on her legs and she nearly had to take a shower afterwards to get the stink off of her. Maybe it's something about Malta since we noticed the same type of overpowering "air freshener" in the three separate rides we took from the local Bolt ride share company. In any case, I would highly suggest that management squelch the air fresheners and just let people breathe normal air. And switch out the soap and lotions to something that is fragrance-free. Your guests will thank you for it."

Palazzo Paolina Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The cleaners did an excellent job, every day the room was cleaned tidied up, beds made and fresh bottles of water, shower gels/shampoo/moisturisers left. Staff helpful and gave good advice. A/C excellent and the breakfasts wonderful and a fantastic selection. The reception desk is not manned 24 hours of the day. The front doors are locked at 21.30pm, you are given a door code to tap in to enter. Take a photo of it on your phone because you are bound to loose it. There was never a problem for us. A great location too, close to everything."

115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective

8/10 Good

"Great location and comfortable stay The location of 115 The Strand Hotel is fantastic, and the beds were really comfortable. The rooms were kept clean, which was a positive. However, we did have some issues with the air conditioning, including a leak, and there were signs of damp and mould, which was disappointing. If natural daylight is important to you, I’d recommend booking a balcony room which is lovely but we also had one of the standard rooms it had no natural light at all, just a concrete wall outside the window. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection of options. The front-of-house team were lovely and welcoming, although the restaurant staff weren’t particularly pleasant overall. Only two members of the restaurant team were genuinely engaging and friendly. Overall, the hotel has a fantastic location, comfortable beds and clean rooms, but the air-conditioning, damp/mould issues and lack of natural light in some standard rooms are worth considering when booking."
