Marsaskala Vacations from $1,259

This is an excellent little hotel, that’s uniquely brought to life by its owners. As it’s small, the owners and their staff are way more attentive than would be possible in a large hotel, including giving tips on things to do and where to go to us Malta first timers. Zebbug itself is a small village, but bars and restaurants are a short walk away. Though the streets around the hotel are tight and the bolt/uber drivers we used occasionally struggled to find us. That said, the area is centrally located and a great base to visit places like Rabat, Mdina, Blue Grotto and Valletta (once we were more confident in directing the taxi drivers) . Highly recommended if you want somewhere with personality and hosts who genuinely care.

I've stayed in many luxury hotels and Iniala Valletta is at the top of the list!!! I'm so happy I didn't stay in the St. Julian area. This was a beautiful view of the grand Harbour... quiet and elegant. I cannot compliment the staff and hotel enough.

We had an excellent stay at Palazzo Violetta. Lovely spacious room on the top floor with a large terrace. The room was cleaned every day and fresh towels left whenever they were needed. A nice touch was the breakfast included with the stay. Plenty to choose from and all very tasty. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Diego at reception - he went out of his way to help when it was needed. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay in Malta.

Terrible experience. The apartment was in poor condition, and the entire building was filthy, with pigeon droppings and feathers everywhere — impossible to avoid, even inside the flat. The building itself was under construction, which was never disclosed beforehand. The shower was broken — every time we used it, water leaked heavily and flooded the entire bedroom. Communication with the host was awful: our messages before arrival were ignored, and once we arrived at the address, we were denied access until we paid unexpected charges. Only after payment were we redirected to a completely different location, where the host refused to assist us and was rude over the phone. Other tenants had to help us find the apartment. The provider's behavior was deceptive and unprofessional. Avoid at all costs.
