I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I am a very frequent traveller and have been for many years with work and personal travel. I have high expectations and these are rarely met but my time at the hotel was fantastic. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. The pool and view is stunning. I will definitely go back

I had originally booked a different hotel, but changed to this one and wow did I strike lucky! Everything was wonderful, from the location in beautiful Birgu, the room, the staff, the breakfast, the rooftop pool and the kindness and attention that was extended to everyone who stayed here. I would especially mention Alberto, Dora and Roma who are all an absolute delight, and despite the fact I only stayed for four nights it still felt I had become part of their family.

A very lovely, boutique hotel

A very lovely boutique hotel where everything was just perfect. The room was clean, comfortable beds and we had everything we needed. There was a nice selection of things for breakfast, we can recommend the scrambled eggs and the chocolate croissants! The staff were charming and nothing was too much trouble. The rooftop pool area was lovely, very relaxing after a day of sight seeing. This was in fact, one of the loveliest hotels we have ever stayed in.

Stayed at the Palazzo Bettina as a family of six adults. Maxime and the other staff are a credit to the hotel. We were greeted by Maxime, showed to our rooms and then served drinks by the rooftop pool. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and were very helpful and always engaging. Birgu is a very pretty place and quiet away from the crowds. We all agreed it was a perfect place to stay but the ferry to Valletta is easy for a more lively evening. We definitely recommend the Palazzo Bettina and thank you Maxime and staff for a lovely warm welcome. We didn’t want to leave!
