This hotel is magnificent!! The staff pays great attention to detail... from the delicious free breakfast to the chocolates left on my pillow! Everything was five-star fabulous!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Loved this place! We stayed in one other hotel during our time in Malta two weeks ago, but this is definitely the one I’d recommend! The staff is beyond accommodating/hospitable. The rooms are so cool- like a magazine editorial. After a 21-hour, 3-flight trek to Malta, we took a very relaxing bath in the sleek round bathtub. Bed was large and super comfy. We purchased the breakfast option with our room: well worth it! The cute hotel cafe had fresh baked croissants, pastries, breakfast cakes, a selection of cheeses, fresh orange and watermelon juices in addition to made-to-order mixed juices and made-to-order customizable omelettes. All was delectable! My favorite was the literal honeycomb near the breads for you to dip your own fresh Maltese honey—divine. Went out and bought Maltese honey to take back home with me that day. Really cool terrace on the roof with a bar and nice views of the city and the water. There’s also a small wading pool.

Great breakfast! Very friendly staff! Branko was extremely nice and always helpful!

Wow! Where do I start this is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stay in a lot of hotels. First, the location is right in the middle of the city and feels like anywhere you go is less than 10 minutes walking. The staff is incredible and willing to help at any chance. The hotel booked me a day trip to Gozo and the blue lagoon. The room I got was incredible. This room easily would be $1200 a night in NYC or Boston. The sheets, linens, amenities and private sauna is unmatched. Every detail was thought out which made the experience that much more lovely. If you’re in Malta - stay here! I can’t think of a negative. Well done!

Location extremely excellent The room was perfectly clean and had all facilities you ever think of We liked very much the ultra modern style of the hotel Finally the staff were very helpful and extremely nice

Really good experience after 3 nights at Rosselli. Location is good. The staff was extremely nice and professional at all times. Lovely interior design, especially the main hall. The food in hotel restaurant was exceptional! Hotel description and pictures are accurate. Facilities were also impressive - nice rooftop terrace at the 4th floor, with comfortable sofas and a tiny swimming pool (more appropriate for just sitting in than swimming due to size :)) I can highly recommend the stay at Rosselli. In the end, the pricing was quite competitive too - hotel was booked with 3-week's notice and was only few euros more expensive than 4* or some even 3* hotels available at that time.

Beautifully restored palazzo in the centre of the city, with luxurious finishing in every detail. Seamless check-in process with amazing staff ready to help in every way. The most delicious breakfast with both a continental option as well as hot items from the kitchen.

The rooms. Most badly designed hotel I’ve ever stayed in. No surfaces in either bedroom or bathroom. Everything had to go on the floor.no draws in the wardrobe , unable to unpack suitcase. Lighting horrendous! Bathroom had a free standing sink but nowhere to put a toilet bag/ makeup bag. Towel rail cold, shower door allowed water to leek through drenching bathroom floor. When room was made up in the morning bathroom was not cleaned, although towels replaced.

These are so minor but I do think a hotel of this caliber should offer -- decent maps of Valletta, and a library of sorts with a host of books about the islands, history, landmarks, places to visit, nearby restaurants --instructions easily visible in the room on how to use the far too complicated cappuccino machine - until I figured it out by going onto google - the TV remote and how to reconfigure the sauna which was easy to trigger, but I did have to have someone come 3 out of 4 nights to reset it. --no room for my own toiletries - lots of wasted space near the sink which would be put to better use if it were open shelves so we could actually use the space comfortably --towel rack for the wonderful shower should be easy to reach once out of the shower - the door opens the wrong way and reaching for a towel either takes forethought or discomfort --
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a glass of Prosecco and a guided trip to the top floor balcony overlooking the sea. My room was ready well before regular check in time and I received a gift bottle of Prosecco as well. My room was quiet, private, spacious and I loved the sauna. The bed was extremely comfortable, closet space was roomy and there was an iron and ironing board - always high on my list of what suite rooms should have, My breakfasts were lovely and the 3 page menu was fun to play with: I started my days with smoked salmon and poached eggs, fruit platter and a fresh honey comb to spoon onto warm toast. My check out - at 4:30am - was easy, and the hotel secured drivers to and from the airport. Finally, I just loved where it is located: close enough -- 3 blocks -- to the heart of Valletta yet far enough away from the madding crowds., Absolutely ideal!

Since rooms are small its quite packet, but then again it didn't ruin our stay.
Location is great, rooms are a bit small but we didn't mind. You need everything you need for your stay from iron, to hair dryer, bathrobes and toiletries are fine as well. The bed was comfortable and the air in the room was good.

The room was perhaps too modern. It was dificult to find out how to turn on the shower - and the bedside light. The washbasin and TV were located inappropriately. And I do not like when it is not possible to close the door to the bathroom. (You could close the door to the toilet - but not to the washbasin).
Nicely situated in the old town. Lovely rooftop area. Very friendly staff. The room was nice but small - and the indoor arhitecht could have done a better job.
