    No cons at all!

    Everything! The location was perfect—right by the harbor with stunning views. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. They were warm, attentive, and made us feel completely at home.

    The spa is underground so somewhat dingy, and the small plunge pool is also dark and uninviting (a rooftop pool would be much more inviting).

    (2) Location overlooking the grand harbour; (2) Spacious and well-decorated rooms with a full living room and a small kitchen; (3) excellent breakfasts and helpful staff.

    An idyllic place to stay in Valletta
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe King Suite - Annex
    • Stayed 6 nights

    There was minimal natural light and only a good view from the bathroom, so would consider a different room configuration next time.

    The Iniala Modern offered a perfect balance of modern décor and amenities, with local charm in a historic location. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Starting the day at their rooftop restaurant with a delicious breakfast was perfect.

    Incredibly beautiful hotel with super nicely designed interior in the perfect location! We received a room upgrade that was just so unexpected that we were immediately in love with the place. If you plan a stay in Valletta, we recommend you plan it here.

    There was not one thing we would change. We were not in the same building as the spa and gym so we couldn't walk from our room to these facilities in a robe but it was fine.

    We could not fault this hotel. We had a room overlooking the harbour towards Fort St Angelo, and this was the view at breakfast too. The best view ever. The staff were amazing. Very receptive and efficient and accommodating on any minor requests we had. The gym was really handy and the spa was very relaxing and sumptuous. We did not take advantage of the restaurant but the breakfasts were amazing. The room staff came in twice a day and kept our room clean and left little treats.

    It would of been nice if the hotel had a bar you could sit at. You can order drinks in the reception area, but they took a while to arrive, there is only a bar in the restaurant which is only available when eating. We found although the breakfast was lovely on two or three occasions they didn't get out order right, I feel this is because they don't write anything down!

    The hotel was a beautiful boutique hotel. Lovely views from the restaurant and breakfast was lovely, well cooked and a good variety of choice. We had the Spa room, which was actually booked in error but it was a beautiful comfortable room with everything you needed provided. Lounge area, bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom with double shower. Easy access to the ferries and a short walk to the centre of Valletta, location great. The spa was small but nice, we had it to ourselves most of the time. It was literally outside our room. We had a 13 course meal in the hotels Michelin star restaurant, which was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would visit again and recommend.

    Iniala Harbour House is everything you could wish for from a luxury hotel. Location: sits right on the harbour, overlooking the water towards the three cities, with easy access to boats and ferries. Plus a short walk to Valletta’s city centre, with bars, restaurants, cathedrals and palaces to explore. Staff: wonderful, wonderful people. Not just efficient and fast, but genuinely friendly and interesting. Food: the best Michelin star meal I have experience. But they also do a fabulous breakfast, and delicious room service menu. Comfort: our room, wow! Stunning views across the harbour, extremely comfortable and well thought out, with exceptional facilities. Cleanliness: the hotel is immaculate and smells wonderful! Value for money: worth every penny.

    The only thing I can mention is the smell of the mold in the treatment room in spa where I had massage. In spa you expect very nice scents and it was a little bit unpleasant to breath in the smell of the mold when I just entered the room. But honestly, it is nothing comparing to great experience I had in this hotel. Just a small thing for a manager to pay attention to.

    Everything was simply perfect. The attention to details, super helpful team, the beauty of the hotel, amazing restaurant. The way they prepared room before my sleep - it was absolutely great and super cozy experience. 10 out of 10, can’t wait to stay again

    The room was rather cosy...I guess because of the space constraints in the apartments, but i could have done with a specific area to hang towels after a shower in the room. We had to improvise with the hangers in the wardrobe.

    There's a lot to like about Iniala Harbour Hotel, but the most outstanding aspect was their people. They were all so warm, friendly and happy to help. While everyone was lovely, Rashpal Singh went above and beyond. Every afternoon he served tea and engaged in conversation making us feel very welcome. The breakfast was freshly cooked and the coffee was wonderful, so much so that the coffee at the airport lounge on our way back tasted like dirty water. The ION restaurant took you on a journey around the world with their wine selection and the food was excellent. The Essensi Spa massage was unarguably the best massage I have ever received, it even made my fussy husband a convert. The Works Gym was well equipped with workout paraphernalia and accessories like towels (cold and dry). You can also get drinks (cold and hot).
