3 star hotels in Malta

PERFECT. I didn’t stay as I had an apartment but I was here every day it was so good. 5 things made this. 1. The Staff. No matter how good a venue is, if you have the wrong people, everything else is pointless. Honestly they were so lovely! I was in Gozo on my own for the week, every day they made me feel so welcome and were so chatty and warm. I’d like to give a special shout out to Katy for...

We came with my girlfriend for the weekend for the marathon and, honestly, even though it’s our second time, we were once again amazed by how friendly the staff is. From check-in to lunch at the front restaurant, the food was exquisite, the cocktails excellent (speaking from experience), and Alex’s service was outstanding. He was attentive to everything, always smiling, and so kind that it made us...

The room was spotless, the staff are excellent, the hotel is beautiful and I hope to return later in the year. Thank you all for the excellent service use gave me it’s been a pleasure visiting you and happy new year to all 👍👍

Clean and comfortable room. Very efficient and helpful staff, from reception, housekeeping to bar staff. Good quality breakfast, cooked to order.

Incredibly convenient location and cool concept with so many things going on under one roof. Loved the service, the vibe, the decor in the rooms - these are my new favourite digs in Xlendi from now on.

The breakfast was a fixed plate but good an enough. The room was with a window but it was 0,5 meters from a wall an no natural daylight. So it should be listed as a no window room. But the price was good so I still recommend the hotel.

The location is beautiful and the staff are absolutely lovely. The only downside was the lack of information about breakfast, but this was offset by the fact that it can be eaten in your room as there is no reception.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The service was excellent, and the reception team was very attentive and caring. They replied to emails very quickly and extremely helpful when my flight was delayed, which caused a lot of trouble. Despite the inconvenience, they handled everything smoothly and arranged things perfectly for me. Special thanks to Judith, who was incredibly...

If you are looking for a calm, luxurious, and authentic Maltese experience, this is the place. Hotel offers a perfect blend of history and comfort. The rooms are beautiful, and the location is ideal for exploring Valletta. A big thank you to the staff for making my stay so pleasant. Can't wait to come back!

23 Boutique Hotel is a stylish and well-designed accommodation in a very convenient location. The rooms are modern, spacious and finished to a high standard, with comfortable beds and elegant bathrooms. The inner courtyard creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere, despite being close to the city’s main attractions. Staff are friendly, professional and helpful, making check-in and communication smooth...

I had a truly fabulous stay at 23 Boutique Hotel in Valletta. I loved absolutely everything — from the excellent location to the beautiful facilities and overall atmosphere. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. I would highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

The couple's trip was far beyond their expectations in terms of location, facilities, and service; they were very satisfied.

We stayed here in September 2025. I was with a group of friends driving for a few days around. The guest house is well situated, a short block back from the seafront and near to all the dive shops and restaurants. It’s a converted townhouse over four stories with a few rooms largely furnished in traditional style with private bathrooms. Breakfast was very good in the morning and they looked after...

Beautiful, extremely central ( the beach is a two minute walk), very welcoming and clean guesthouse. The room was nicely furnished with clean crisp sheets ,good quality mattress and pillows. Breakfast was well balanced with a good variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, cakes and breads. Sonia, the owner, was very welcoming and polite. Great value for money. Will surely return. Well done Sonia!!

Sonia and her team are fantastic. Everyone works really hard to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. Breakfast is awesome with hot and cold options as well as fresh fruit and local pastries. The rooms are immaculate with room service everyday this was our second stay and we shall definitely return soon.

From the very cordial and helpful check-in, right up to the very welcoming and friendly attitude during breakfast, to the general cleanliness of the whole building and rooms. Sonia and her dad make you very much at home. Top attitude. Would surely not hesitate to return again as it feels very much like home. Bravo!

Very kind, friendly host and staff, professional and dedicated to hosting guests in their family business b&b.

Absolutely fantastic guest house right in the centre of Marsalforn. Sonia, the hostess, is a wonderful, pleasant and caring person. The rooms are fairly small but perfectly functional and amazingly clean. The shower was very good and the surrounding area is quiet. Breakfast is excellent. There’s a special of the day or you can basically have what you want. All cooked fresh to order. Really enjoyed...

Amazing little hotel in the city center of Victoria. Everything is designed so thoughtfully, stylish rooms, absolutely clean, the spa is very nice and the breakfast truly delicious. Short walk to the bus terminal and the citadel. I totally would love to come back one day.

Amazing experience! We had a couples massage and sauna hot tub at the spa. It was superb! Giovanna was so welcoming! It's super clean and the decor is beautiful! Highly recommend!

What a gem of a boutique hotel with a wonderfully friendly and helpful owner and hostess. New, modern, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, delicious hot and cold breakfast options, spacious spa for exclusive use, rooftop dipping pool and good central location - just 5 minute walk from Victoria's bus station.

Perfectly situated close enough to Victoria and the main attractions for easy exploring, yet tucked away in a quiet spot that makes it feel peaceful and relaxing. Beaches, ferry links, and local restaurants are all within a short drive or walk. Giovanna was awesome also.

Rooms are very nice, lots of commodities and space. Extremely clean and daily room service. The hosts are really welcoming and offer nice and precious advices for the guests. The structure is really near to the central place of Victoria, so it is also a convenient location for further exploration of the city and the whole island too, also thanks to the nearby bus terminal. There is also a SPA, a convenient...

✨ An unforgettable stay at the Battistini Boutique Hotel ✨ We just spent a few extraordinary days at the Battistini Boutique Hotel, and we honestly cannot wait to come back! ❤️ The place itself is stunning, full of charm, with every detail carefully thought out and beautifully designed. But what truly makes the experience so unique is Giovanna. What an incredible host! Always smiling, caring, and...

We stayed here 2 nights as part of a 12-day trip in Malta and Gozo. Victor, the host, is a very affable and enthusiastic host with a host of knowledge about the surrounding area and the history of Malta in general. Our room (Room 1) was fantastically rustic, befitting the age of the building, but also furnished to a high standard. Breakfast was probably the best we had in Malta with a great cereal...

Victor and the staff are kind, friendly and make you feel so welcome. Lovely breakfasts, fresh fruits and wonderful omelettes. Very clean and use of a communal kitchen. Thank you for a wonderful stay

We had an amazing stay with Victor and the team. The place was beautiful, our room was extremely comfortable and clean, we loved everything about our stay. We had an accident on day 2, I broke my wrist and my friend gashed her head in a fall on the beach. Victor was extremely helpful and drove us to the chemist to get a prescription and stopped off at the supermarket to pick water up for us to save...

Fantastic location, very central for lots of great places to visit, providing you have a car, everything is 10-15mins. A couple of good restaurants are 30mins walk away. The hosts were really friendly and helpful and gave us lots of good advice about places to visit. We had room 8 which has the hot tub on its balcony, which was a lovely romantic spot for a glass of wine watching sunset, ( the hot...

This was a lovely and cosy place to stay, being a converted traditional farmhouse, which gave it real character. The pool was a welcome addition after a hot day exploring but the best thing was the attention we received from the family owners and the staff who were very welcoming and friendly and gave us many good tips of where to visit or eat on the island, as well as information about Malta and Gozo...

Very nice accomodation. Good breakfast and service. The owner Victor is always ready to help for anything you need. Thank u for everything.

Lovely guest house with super friendly owners. The house is located in a quiet town, close to the cliffs where we enjoyed beautiful views. The room was nice and specious, with an internal yard, which was perfect for our dog. The breakfast was as good as described by many other reviewers (Corinne's apple pie is indeed amazing!). Corinne and Marco are warm and friendly couple. We will be back in summer...

We stayed for the second time with Corinne and Marco and had a great time. The breakfast is delicious and the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. We came with our dog and baby and Corinne and Marco provided everything we needed for a relaxing break. Thanks again, we'll be back :)

Lovely place to stay with super friendly hosts Corrine and Marco who serve the best breakfast and coffee, delicious homemade cakes and amazing spicy marmalade, we stayed in a nice cosy room with a yard and had access to a warm swimming pool, we enjoyed staying here very much and hope we'll be back soon.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Corrine and Marco are great hosts. They do the different. Rooms are very nice breakfasts delicious. We like this location, very pieceful, friendly neighbourhood. We highly recommend Grotto's Paradse.

This is a wonderful, peaceful stone house with two swimming pools close to lovely coastal attractions (nowhere is far on Gozo!). The hosts bend over backwards to help and are very sociable and pleasant. Marco will send you links to the attractions with Google maps link which is very useful. They know everything about the island to help you enjoy your holiday to the most. The breakfast is incredible...

We had a wonderful stay at Grotto's Paradise. It was the perfect start to the year. It's a great location to go walking in the countryside. Corrinne and Marco were great hosts, they made an amazing spread for breakfast and amazing to talk to. Highly recommended.

I'm so glad we chose to stay here. Impeccable. Rod, the proprietor is super organised and so helpful. Makes you feel at home. The room was fantastic and with everything you need and more. This would be 100% my choice if I return to Sliema. Thank you Rod for making our stay so perfect. Hope to see you again.

Wonderful place, owned by a wonderful person! This is my first Tripadvisor review and I wanted to take the time to acknowledge Rod’s impeccable service and helpfulness. The Townhouse is in a great location - 5 mins’ walk to the Valletta ferry (15 minute crossing from Sliema and you’re right in the heart of this magical island). Great bus and taxi links to places like Mdina. There are also a number...

Excellent place, Rod is super friendly and helpful. Everything is new, very good for families as well. Could not ask for more. Location is very convenient, very close to the ferries, restaurants, supermarkets and parking. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for a full week and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Spacious room with large bathroom with a rain shower head. Everything was so clean. Large closet, mini kitchen with microwave, refrigerator and sink; comfortable bed; sofa and table with chairs in room as well; quiet street only a few blocks away from shops and restaurants; host Rod was so friendly and accommodating; great...

Received a warm welcome from the host. The room was spacious and with all the facilities needed, including a fridge and microwave. The location is very good, close to the ferry and bus stop. There are many restaurants and bars close by. Happy with the choice.

The location is close to buses, ferry to Valletta, and also to St Julian's. The room is so spacious that I felt it was my private one bedroom apartment. Bed was so comfortable, a large modern bathroom, very private on the third floor at the back. The room was serviced each day, bed made and fresh towels supplied. There is a modern lift to the levels and very secure access. We were able to travel...

It's been about 10 years since I've stayed here however it's such a memorable hotel that its still deeply etched into my memory. I'm sure a lot has changed since (as I noticed its temporarily closed, perhaps a renno). While the room were not impressive, they were functional, clean, inexpensive, and had great views if facing the harbor. So much of the styling was so different and old (but kept well...

The three stars are for the fantastic harbour view, the cleanliness of the room and the politeness of the girl behind the desk upon arrival. That's where it ends. Beds were very noisy when you move on them which meant not much sleep was had as we were constantly woken up by the nise and how it felt when moving on the bed. The main reason we stay is to have a good sleep. This place couldn't deliver...

Friendly hosts, clean throughout, great views of the harbour (from penthouse rooms), comfy beds. No toilet door, if you are squeamish, one of you will have to go and wait on terrace. Added dawn and daytime view from penthouse room terrace Will definitely be coming back

Out if this world room and service. Cannot recommend it highly enough. The Jacuzzi was a god send after the long flight. The room was comfortable, cozy, clean and modern. The balcony had an amazing view of the harbour. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. Too plentiful! I was not hungry the rest of the day! If I am fortunate enough to return to valletta I will be staying here!

It’s our second time here and we love this hotel and the view from our room. The beds are comfortable & Air con good. The breakfast buffet is fine with lots to chose from but for two days there was no fresh bread and some rolls were very hard. There are cooked breakfasts available at a small extra cost. This is a wonderful hotel on the water front & close to the shops & restaurants and we will come...

Wonderful panoramic view. Staff very accommodating and enjoyed stopping off for a coffee or two between work meetings. I didn't stay at the hotel so I cannot comment on that aspect.

Wonderful place with great staff. Owner of the Hotel is taking care of guests in the best way. Every information i needed was easily provided to me at any time. Location is perfect. Very quiet and easy to go to any place in Malta. Breakfast was very good and tasty 😋 😊 Room very comfortable with good climatization I recommend to everyone with all my heart

Nice guesthouse and really kind staff. Located in a good area, within walking distance to some restaurants, supermarket, bathing areas. To the next bus stop it's a 3 mins walk so that you can discover the whole island very easily by public transport. Had a comfy room with awesome view at the harbor of San Pawl. The breakfast was tasty :) Next time on Malta I would be happy to stay here again.

I wouldn't have given 5 stars, if it was more expensive. But you get a great value for the price. Pro: -room was very clean and a/c worked fine -nice view to the green rear of the building -tastefully designed rooms -problem with the balcony door was solved immediately -very friendly and helpful staff, that makes you feel welcome -amazing rooftop terrace Con: -the bed was squeaking and the mattress...

Very new accommodation, located at about 2 minutes walk from a bus stop. The included transfer from the airport is a very big plus, especially if you land at a late hour. The reception has very helpful personnel, patiently explaining whatever your questions would be. Breakfast is exactly what you would need to kick-off the day, various choices for different tastes. Room was very clean and the bed really...

The owner Teddy made our stay brilliant for us. Teddy is the star of the show 😁 Would highly recommend anyone to stay in this fabulous little hotel. Staff great. Rooms fantastic and spotlessly clean. Good breakfast 👍 Hotel is in a quiet area but their is a free shuttle service from the hotel to Bugibba including free return . Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for quality break 😉

We stayed one night in Room 1 and absolutely loved it! The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had a charming window overlooking the street below. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless with lovely complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was excellent — a great selection of cereals, fruit, pastries, and hot drinks, plus delicious made-to-order options...

It was a quiet, fun little stay to see Mdina. It is so close and walkable to all there is to see in this hilltop town. While it is small, the breakfast was personally prepared and very good. The room was large and the bed was comfortable.

The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and spacious, checking-in flawless. Breakfast had multiple options of eggs cooked on order+ any kind of coffee drink, juices, fruit... The area is very quiet and super safe, but 5 mins walk to the bus stop ( I recommend getting unlimited rides card at the airport). Buses go everywhere! Thank you very much for the unforgettable stay

Beautiful small hotel. Staff wonderful, room was stunning. Great, quite, location in the middle of Rabat. The breakfast was lovely, and portions generous. Building was formerly a cinema and there's a original projector and photos on display.

The hotel is in a quiet, pedestrian street so you do need to walk a little way when your luggage from the car. Location is quiet, you can however hear the music slightly coming from the restaurant downstairs and also the church bells(which we liked ).The staff are exceptionally friendly . The breakfast was cooked to order. Excellent air-conditioning . We enjoyed our stay.

The location here is perfect for exploring cospicua and Vittoriosa, and it is not far from the ferry to valletta. The staff were extremely helpful, and although we arrived early they put our things in the room and even put my food in the fridge. They also accommodated us by letting us have breakfast early so that we could catch our ferry on time the next morning. The room was very small and did...

A great little hotel in a lovely old building. Room was clean and well equipped and breakfast was more than enough to satisfy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Väldigt charmigt och mysigt hotell. Frukosten kunde varit lite mer omfattande men helt ok.

I stayed for one night. It was clean, quiet, and I found the bed very comfortable.

Enjoyable stay Loved the roof top swimming pool. Very quirky hotel, beautiful stairwell. Spacious bedroom. Disappointing breakfast area, no natural light). Shame it couldn't be incorporated on the terrace area on the top floor.

I had a wonderful stay with Maureen and the team. They are very friendly and Maureen so helpful. I will definitely stay there next time I am in Malta, and will be recommending to anyone travelling.

Cozy, elegant, and sleek. That’s how I would describe the room that I stayed in. The king-size beds, the absolutely gorgeous antique patterned tiles, bespoke urban furniture, and luxurious bathroom equipped with gorgeous rain shower are fit for a First Lady.. Also, the striking views from the balcony are something I absolutely fell for.

Cosmo hotel 💎Literally a gem in the heart of Valletta. 🌿If you are a lover of inner courtyards , patterned tiles and old stones then this is your perfect vacation home! ⏳When you enter the building you feel the beauty brought by centuries. 📷All the architectural features don’t fail to captivate the eye and make you feel that you want to capture every single corner of this boutique hotel. 🗝The mix of...

A fresh and cozy hotel with the perfect location for exploring Valletta. The level of service was absolutely amazing. The hotel reception contacted us before we even checked in, checking up on us if they could make anything easier for us during our stay. Upon check in we received a letter with a short personal greeting and relevant information. Merchant suits is a small hotel just off Merchant street...

Very relaxing stay in a beautiful suite set within an old farmhouse which has been furnished and accessorised tastefully. Every part full of interesting collections and objects. Huge suite with balcony overlooking pool and rural view. Own fridge kettle and toaster plus provisions for breakfast also kitchen plus living areas you can use. Peter and his son have been lovely hosts.

The guesthouse is fantastic - located in calm neighborhood, yet still close to the shop (walking distance), Victoria (by car or bus) and nice small beach. It offers both the privacy but also provides common spaces for integration with other guests and hosts. Peter and Paul make this place exceptional, so you can feel like a family member. Thanks so much for hosting us!

We stayed for 5 night in the Serenity-room and had a wonderful time. The two terraces are always in the sun and you can find wind-protected spot to read and enjoy the sun. The room is fully equipped and very spacey. Peter an Paul are superfriendly hosts and are always reachable for help or advices. Thanks for the good time!

Everything was wonderful – the guesthouse exceeded all my wishes and expectations, and more! I was warmly welcomed, and help was always close by. The room was spacious, peaceful, and well-equipped, and I even had my own balcony! The location was convenient even without a car – the bus stopped nearby, and there were lovely walking paths close to the house. I truly hope to come back here soon! A big...

We stayed for six nights at Dar tal-Kaptan for the start of a honeymoon tour of Malta and Gozo, and couldn’t have been made more welcome from the moment we arrived by host Peter and his son Paul. You really are staying as a guest within their home, but still have the privacy of a generous suite decorated elegantly and sympathetically within this charming historic converted farmhouse, with luxurious...

Thank you so much Peter, Paul and Etienne for your attentive, kind, caring and friendly way of hosting us. We felt very comfortable and welcome at your place. The house is beautiful and the breakfast was excellent!

I had a great experience at the Island Guest House! I would definitely stay there again and recommend. It was a great value. If you book through ******* though I recommend that you confirm DIRECTLY with the Island Guest House. There was an issue with *******, but they righted it for me. What a pleasure! Thanks again!!

Clean, comfortable & very convenient for ferry & buses to Valletta City Centre!

Checked in very late. Great service and instructions

Great property all around however sightly noisy due to construction in the surrounding area and roads but overall a satisfactory stay

Great location, lovely spacious room with everything we needed.

Best location Best position ,owner very kind

Amazing location! Right by the Sanap cliffs in Xlendi. Very homey and charming place with a lot of character. The employees are very accommodating and welcoming and they let us drop our bags before check in and even let us leave them at the hotel after we checked out, since we were still staying in Gozo all day. They also let us borrow an adaptor for the three days! Breakfast is good, but could use...

Cannot recommend this place enough. Lovely family run business in a beautiful and serene setting, with delicious breakfast included. We will definitely be back!

Great views and pools This is not a 5-star establishment but there are two large pools and clean rooms. Breakfast is okayish…. Not very varied but genuine.

The property is very cosy, clean, quiet and close to the beach & beautiful views. Only thing is it's up a steep hill, not convenient if you have joint problems 😉 I loved Mary's apple & ginger jam and George's omelette👍. George & May are very welcoming and the transfer arrangements made from and to the airport were excellent 👌 and all went without a hitch.

Where do I start..? What a wonderful, relaxing holiday we have just had at San Antonio Guesthouse. Myself, my husband and our 7 year old daughter just had 7 of the best days and nights there. It’s basic but clean and comfortable, with solid WiFi should you need it. As there are limited rooms, you never struggle to secure somewhere to lie around either of the 2 great pools - our daughter swam like a...

Ray and I (Guylaine) stayed at San Antonio Guesthouse in June for a week. The location in Xliendi Bay was perfect! A few minutes from the beach, restaurants, bars and small supermarkets. George, Maria, Anna and Lim are a credit to San Antonio, they are extremely helpful, polite and will go the extra mile for you always. Great old fashion service! Every morning before breakfast they would greet...

Pretty average accommodation. The room we had, with the private bathroom, smelled pretty musty, and the whole place was pretty cold overall (we were there in December, but not even the AC helped heat it up). Even though they said (in the rulers of the place) that they'll come clean up the room only on Wednesday and only if you leave your door open, the lady went into our rooms without our knowledge...

We’ve slept like a babies) Large room, fresh air, delicious and various breakfast. Our recommendations!

The place is clean and tidy Breakfast was good, ready on time The room was big, with a kettle and cups The shared bathroom was really clean

Great location- very clean and comfortable-walking distance to a very good selection of restaurants and cafes. Close to Mdina and the Catacombs. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very close to public transport. The locals are very friendly.

A family owned and run guesthouse in the quaint village of Rabat, minutes away from the old capital Mdina and the greener more rural part of the island. Great as a launching pad for anyone looking at exploring the Northern bits of Malta too.

Can't be specific about the sizes of the rooms as price is a determining factor here. But will definitely say they are clean, equipped and comfortable. Breakfast is included in room rates and they are very good. The lady at the front desk who practically attendees to all your inquiries handles every thing and assures your comfort . Always smiling and open minded. Enjoyed my stay. " air-conditioning...

It Is very clean, everything what you need you have in your room, excellent location, quite but still in the middle of everything, near all bus stops, markets and restaurants.

Room is clean and basic. Air con is great Hallway very noisy all morning with people hanging around in there. My room is a single near the entrance hall. Cant open the door to the outside area. Items left by others ( I think) wash up liquid, shower gel etc

You can see the idea for the place and the history. The damp has done its job, the bathroom shows uninteresting stains. A few things don't work. Staff very helpful.

Good location but hard to find after a few drinks, spent 2 hours looking for it! But really nice sized rooms, good quality so can't grumble.

I had a lovely stay there. It's very well located close to the ferries to Malta, walking distance of late night supermarkets, restaurants and lots more! The host is friendly and easy going and has interesting knowledge to share.

The hotel is very well located in Sliema, it is close to everything, (beach, ferry, supermarket...) the staff is very responsive and very nice, towel and sheet provided on arrival. A washing machine and a dryer are available to wash your stuff which is very convenient. The hotel is very secure with a code at the entrance and cards to enter the rooms. I would come back to this hotel if I were to return...

The accommodation was clean (new clean towels every day), and the shower was excellent with strong water pressure. The beds were comfortable, perfect for relaxing after long days of exploring the islands. Our room had two balconies. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and welcoming. There is a laundry service nearby at a great price (12 euros for washing and drying),...

It was really nice & clean. The location is amazing. Close to pools, sea etc and the room was very beautiful ! I’ll recommend

Not a bad little apartment, clean and in a good area. Only issue is the building work right outside the property! Banging and drilling starts at 7Am.

Excellent Location in a quiet street near all the amenities, on-street parking was available at all times nearby, great hosts, brand new high quality rooms with everything necessary, very highly recommend! The whole place was exceptionally clean!

I really liked the familiar atmosphere. The rooms where very clean and with new furniture. I liked everything and I am pretty sure to book a room at VelaBlu Boutique Guest House when coming back to Malta!

We really liked to stay there, was always clean and there's a modern furniture and good air conditioning. We even were able to extend our stay very easily. Would go there again.

Honestly. Are any of the apartments there clean? I have visited a few and they all look like some kind of hippy colony. This place could be a real gem if it was taken care of!! What a shame.

Lovely quite place. Full of awesome views of countryside and sea views as well. Great area for walks, picnics and much more.

Haven't been in, but it looks amazing

Very calm village with an amazing view, just 15min walking downhill to closest beach and has holiday houses for rent with access to a swimming pool!
