Comfortable and looked after but not memorable because the views are rather bleak and the decor poor
Pros:

Breakfast excellent

Cons:

Interior decoration is not up to the standard of the building. It looks old and does not seem to have received much attention.

Timeless elegance and confort
Pros:

The Phoenicia is situated along the ramparts of Valletta, close to the main entrance to the city. It is marvellous traditional palace with magnificent gardens leading down to a swimming pool overlooking Marsamxett Harbour. A traditional palace, with all the contemporary facilities, including a state of the art spa, a conference and meetings centre, two restaurants, a very cosy bar and a generous lobby. It is welcoming and elegant, on a par with the magnificence of the city’s monuments and in stark contrast to its sometimes overly intrusive tourism.

Pros:

Perfect location: just outside main gate into Valletta, but without too many tourists walking under your balcony so not too noisy. Staff super helpful. Breakfast excellent although waiters a little too cheerful for early morning!
