Our first visit to Malta. What an experience at the Phoenicia. Nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel special. The accommodation was excellent with every convenience in our room. The dining was wonderful assisted by a super new head of food manager. The guest liaision manageress was always helpful and ready to supply support for the smallest... More

We had an extremely comfortable double aspect room overlooking Grand Harbour. The management appear to have thought of everything to ensure that their guests enjoy their stay. The choice at breakfast omitted nothing. Every taste must have been catered for. Dinner was above criticism. The Palm Court was an extremely comfortable setting in which to relax and the service there... More

This is a lovely hotel, well placed for sightseeing around Malta. It is right next to the bus station and a short walk from the main street in Valetta. The staff were outstandingly helpful and pleasant, without exception. The barman is a cocktail expert and mixes some spectacular cocktails! The rooms are large and roomy and the beds very comfortable.... More

This was our second visit to the Phoenicia, we liked everything about the place last year so it was obvious where to stay this time around. It is a majestic place and stands proud in what must be the best location in Malta, (unless you are the sort of traveller that likes cheap lager and kareoke nights). We didn't eat... More

My wife and I just completed a delightful 11 day stay at the Phonicia in Valetta. This is one of the great traditional hotels of Malta which few others from what we have seen can match (save one or two boutique hotels such as the Xara Palace). It is certainly in a different league from the "standard international nesting boxes"... More

We paid £390 for a three day package with easyHolidays including b&b and easyJet flights, and therefore I'm guessing that the hotel took about £70-80 per night. For that money we got a good (classic/basic) room with everything you could expect in a 4/5* hotel. The breakfast was very good; the usual European cuisine but with two added touches: champagne...

The Phoenicia is not a hotel for a beach vacation. There are plenty of others available in Sliema, St Julians etc. Instead, the Phoenicia is at the gates of Valletta, allowing you to stroll the fortress walls, Co-Cathedral and other sites from the 16th century to now. After 6 PM there are only a few restaurants open - pretty good... More

We have just returned from a 3-night stay at The Phoenicia in late January. Although the hotel itself is beautiful to look at, the service ranged from curt to downright frosty, which mystified us both (we are a young unmarried couple, casually dressed but by no means scruffy!). This just is not the place to stay if you are in... More

We had stayed at The Phoenicia before & were happy to return for a special 60th birthday celebration. Our travel agent had told the Hotel about this & there was champagne,chocolate cake & a had written birthday card from the manager waiting on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff & we would highly recommend... More

A beautiful old building standing guard at the Valletta City gate. The staff were efficient and very friendly. The lobby, bar and restaurant areas are very impressive and breakfast choice could not be faulted. Our room was on the second floor and had lovely views of the harbour. The room was not huge but more than adequate for our needs... More
