We had a fabulous stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone who wants to visit the area and stay somewhere smaller, quieter with great customer service in quality surroundings. The staff are an asset to this hotel they are all friendly, welcoming and helpful, nothing is to much trouble. In particular Dora on reception was outstanding with her communication even before we arrived and once there was so helpful recommending places to eat and visit. Also a special mention goes to Niels who although very new to the hotel is a great asset with his friendly customer service (he will go far). They both made our stay an even more memorable one.

We have just arrived home after our lovely stay at IBB Hotel Palazzo Bettina, and wow - what a gorgeous hotel! The staff are a credit to the hotel and were always warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond for not only us, but other guests staying there. It is evident their service is of a very high standard, always greeting with a smile. The room we paid for was exactly as described, spacious enough for me and my partner, ample storage space and a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard. The air conditioning within the room was amazing and fully adjustable to personal preference. In terms of cleanliness, the hotel itself is pristine, and our room was thoroughly cleaned each day. Fresh towels were given upon request (the hotel give instructions to leave the towels on the floor when you feel you need new ones) which is fantastic for sustainability. Our favourite part of this hotel, and why we chose it in the first place, was the amazing pool facilities. Located on the rooftop, the pool overlooks the harbour and is absolutely stunning! There were always plenty of sun loungers available for all guests, and the hotel kindly provided fresh towels on top of the loungers each day. Staff were always accessible should you want to order food or drinks to the pool, you simply placed your order on the phone beside the lift, and the staff brought this to you very promptly. Overall, a fantastic stay, highly recommended! Thank you so much!

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!
