"Amazing location right next to Sliema Ferry station with a breathtaking view of Valletta. The apartment was well-equipped, modern, clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars nearby. We got access to an outdoor pool at Manta Beach Club just across the street, which was also quite nice, even though we could not use it due to the weather. I would definitely recommend this place and would return any time."

Top Fort St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

Palais Le Brun

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is centrally located to walk to all of the attractions in Valletta and transport to every where outside of the city. The rooms are spacious, the air conditioning kept us comfortable and the shower was fitted with a rain shower head and a handheld one as well. The staff was excellent. We were greeted every morning by a welcoming staff serving us at breakfast, which was excellent (fresh fruit, pastries, local yogurt, cereals and a choice of a substantial hot breakfast). We enjoyed the pool every night after a day of touring. I highly recommend Palais le Brun. The location, rooms, amenities, service and staff were all top notch."

Melior Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent central location to main city and bus transport. Considering its on a busy street we could not hear any noise from our room on 7th floor. Room was well air conditioned - adequately clean serviced each day - suitable fridge - large safe- clean towels daily if you wanted - noone on check in desk however staff available to help if needed. A pleasant stay in a busy city."

1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"GREAT hotel! The beach club and rooftop pool were amazing and worth every cent. Staff were helpful, the app was great to access our room and book the pool. We didn’t have breakfast, but it looked great! We enjoyed our time at le soleil, and would recommend to others. Also in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops, etc. A great hotel with great amenities."

The Barrister

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay! The only downsides were that late check out wasn’t available and there’s a club next door so the music can get pretty loud at night. Other than that everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend it. (One thing to keep in mind there’s currently construction in the area so Uber and Bolt can’t always drop you off directly in front of the property. If you’re traveling with heavy or multiple bags you may have a short walk."

Grand Hotel Excelsior

8/10 Good

"I would rate this hotel 4 out of 5 stars. The Grand Hotel Excelsior offers everything you would expect from a five-star resort: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a well-equipped fitness center, multiple restaurants and bars, and excellent amenities. The hotel is also spotless, very well maintained, and the staff is genuinely attentive and welcoming. That said, the property feels frozen in the early 2010s and is due for a major renovation. The exterior showed significant peeling paint in several areas, some of the furniture was noticeably worn, and there were no power outlets near the beds, making it inconvenient to charge phones and other devices overnight. The lack of USB charging ports—other than on the television—was also disappointing for a hotel of this category. Despite these shortcomings, the atmosphere and service made for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the souvenir shop and appreciated that the hotel has a renowned pastry chef, which was reflected in the quality of the desserts. With some modernization, this hotel could once again fully live up to its five-star rating."
