Top Fort St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Excelsior

8/10 Good

"Clean room , excellent location"

Barceló Fortina Malta

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located on a very busy main strip that's close to the bay, night life bars and restaurants. The area is surrounded by pretty people from all over the world and it gets very crowded. There's a couple of supermarkets nearby for groceries. We booked the half sea view and it was gorgeous. The pool is shallow about waist deep only while main pool is about chest level. You would need reservations for a sunbed booked in advanced. Cons-Not quite the hotel's fault, but the design of the shower door is only covering half the tub so water is sprinkled all over the floor when you take a shower. I just get a bunch of pool towels from downstairs and use it to soak up the water. Also, they have extremely loud music playing from across the other island of Valetta that you can hear the thumping loud music (not hotel's fault) and this music plays well into 3-4AM. Even with the balcony doors shut, you can feel the vibration of the music permeating through the glass. Overall, it's a good solid stay if you can drown out the loud music from the other side of the island and get a bunch of pool towels to soak up shower water spilling over."

Palazzo Ignazio

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect. The room was spacious with lots of hanging and storage space. Excellent shower. Magnificent views from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast choices were plentiful with fresh eggs cooked to your preference. We have been recommending this hotel to all our friends and family."

Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really great location so easy to get to every where we wanted to go. Desk staff very friendly and helpful. Smallish room but had everything. Clean and really good shower. Lotion, shampoo, conditioner and water replenished every day. Breakfast area a little cramped but breakfast itself was small but tasty."

Palais Le Brun

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable hotel with exceptionally helpful staff"

Melior Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our hotel was spacious clean and tidy and easy accessible via Starbucks which had fab A/C after being in the hot sun. We would stay there again as it’s in the heart of most amenities such as ferry port and bus station."

19 Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth friendly check in. Excellent spacious deluxe double room. Good WiFi, great breakfast, central location, rooftop balcony on 4th floor."

San Karlu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"San Karlu is an excellent hotel. The location is perfect and Republic Street is just a few minutes away. The hotel is located off a road down a wide alley so you can get a taxi to very close to the hotel and the street is very safe and well lit at night. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotless when we checked in and cleaned thoroughly every day. The room we had looked over the courtyard/alley below. Breakfast was good quality. The best feature of the hotel was the rooftop pool. We were there in September and it was very hot, so the pool was wonderful and appeared new (also very clean and well maintained). It really made the hotel worth the five stars."

The Barrister

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lively and beautifully maintained. All staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming. Hotel is in an excellent location with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. However, the noise from the bars close by does continue well into the early hours of the morning. The hotel does provide ear plugs but if you are a light sleeper and go to bed early you will need to bare this in mind"
