Birgu is a great location. At times, a bit tourist heavy. Staff at hotel top notch. I loved my room with balcony that overlooked Senglea and waterfront. Will stay again.

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.

A great new place close to the naval museum. Still some issues with their KNX domotic system, but the installation company is trying to fix it. Nice rooftop and the wine cellar has been ordered. A few good restaurants behind the hotel higher up the hipp

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!

The hotel is brand new so everything was lovely and clean, new mattresses and no wear and tear anywhere. I had picked out the hotel to be close to the port for work which I have been visiting for years. So much better to be close! No long taxi ride, can’t believe I haven’t thought of it before! The area is quiet and relaxed with a good selection of restaurants in the evening! There are other parts of Malta to go a party but if you want a genuine old town feel and evening quietly strolling back from a lovely dinner by the water front this is your place

Et glimrende hotell. Rolig beliggenhet, men med kort avstand til gode restauranter og andre servicefunksjoner. Hurtigbåt til Valetta kun 3-4 min gange fra hotellet. Båten tar mindre enn 10 min og er bare et fint lite mini-cruise. Veldig god frokost. Alt serveres ved bordet - ingen buffet. Rent og pent og fremstår som nytt. Flott takterrasse med god plass. Ekstremt hyggelige ansatte fra vaskepersonell til resepsjonist. 24/7 bemannet resepsjon. Kun 13 rom så personlig service. Kan absolutt anbefales.

Ein Hotel zum Wohlfühlen. Maxime und sein ganzes Team waren jederzeit zuvorkommend und haben uns charmant umsorgt. Hotel war picobello sauber. Die Dachterrasse mit Pool und Whirlpool war ein Traum. Allein die Sonnenschirme waren etwas tricky zum Öffnen ;-) Lage in der Nähe des Yachthafens von Birgu super. Man kommt in wenigen Minuten mit dem Taxi-Boot für 2 Euro p.P. nach Valetta. Empfehlenswerte Eisdiele vor der Tür. Trotz der zentralen Lage war es im Hotel ruhig und die guten Betten haben eine ungestörte Nachtruhe ermöglicht. Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet und war lecker. Herzlichen Dank für fünf angenehme Tage auf Malta und hoffentlich auf bald!
