A wonderful stay in Birgu
Pros:

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in Room 208 and it was spectacular.
All the staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for anyone. The breakfast is fabulous and the setting of the hotel is perfect for a relaxing stay with everything on the doorstep.
We must give special mention to Pietro, the manager who looked after us so well and made our anniversary visit so special.
We will certainly return

Cons:

Nothing, everything was wonderful

A unique charming hotel, a beautiful oasis of serenity
Pros:

This unique hotel is a beautifully renovated historical palazzo with all modern amenities. A ferry stop and many restaurants are within walking distance. Traditional Maltese boats docking just in front of the hotel. Our room was amazing. All areas of the hotel, armchairs, chandeliers, soft music create a relaxing atmosphere. The rooftop pool and lounge area are mesmerizing. The staff: Roman, Angelica, and Misha were very attentive. Especially would like to recognize Victor who was very helpful and patient, answered all our questions, and checked on a map all interesting places for us to see in Malta. Anastasia was a sweetheart and added a special touch to our experience in this special place.

Cons:

unfortunately there was no body lotion provided. Since we had no check in luggage, I did not take mine. Went to a convenience store, but they did not sell it.

Could not have made a better choice!
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful hotel and the location was perfect. I wanted to stay outside of Valletta and I couldn’t have found a better location. Beautiful neighborhood behind it, boats right across the street that take 5 minutes to Valletta and drop you off right under the upper gardens. A trove of good restaurants a couple hundred feet with a beautiful harbor view. The rooftop pool area had stunning views. Perfect!!!

Amazing stay and beyond expectation!
Pros:

It was an amazing weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The check-in was so smooth and we were treated well from the staff. The room we stayed in was beyond our expectation. We were upgraded to the Junior Suite with sea view so that was wow. The breakfast choice was amazing and all prepared fresh and to our liking. We were treated very well throughout our stay and can't recommend enough. The location couldn't have been better as it's just outside the Vittoriosa waterfront and also Cospicua waterfront. Everywhere reachable by foot.

Excellent stay, Birgu was a delight and we will return.
Pros:

Staff helpful, location excellent, rooftop superbe, very clean. Very good hotel and would definitely return. We didnt have breakfast or eat so cannot comment, but cafe just next to hotel excellent and lots of good restaurants in walking distance.

Cons:

Didn't like the very soft mattress, that is the only minor issue.

A wonderful location - to be visited again.
Pros:

Beautifully presented and equipped room. Wonderful terrace and pool patio. Excellent breakfast - served to order. Only 50 yards from ferry service to Valetta. Many restaurants in immediate vicinity.

Cons:

Sister hotel was recommended for its restaurant " a short walk away". In fact this required a 15 minute circuit of the bay.

Pros:

We originally attempted to book at the Macina where we have stayed before, however, we found Palazzo Bettina more intimate, with a beautiful pool deck and we will definitely book this hotel again. The staff went out of their way, particularly the GM, Roman, who was absolutely outstanding. We were truly spoilt.

Cons:

The bed was a little soft for our liking.
