Rosselli AX Privilege

Great hotel & location, with a few excellent dining options. Friendly staff and spacious rooms. We stayed 3 days - although on our first day we couldn’t use the rooftop sun lounging area/bar and pool due to a private function which was a shame as we wanted to relax and use the hotel facilities having travelled all morning. The hotel is located right in the centre which meant it can be noisy outside if you have a room at the front and church Bells ring for hours on a Sunday morning from before 7am. Otherwise the perfect stay.

The entrance to the hotel is inviting and it looks classy. The staff were absolutely delightful and very attentive. However, the rooms in this old building were not brilliant they were very dark and the decor is so dour it was depressing. We were upgraded to a suite but it was not for us. They had a bathroom and lounge on the entrance to the room and a spiral staircase to the bedroom, not suitable you would break your neck going down that spiral staircase at night if you needed the bathroom. They need to swop the room around and put the lounge upstairs far more conducive to health and safety. After seeing a couple of rooms we finally got a room with a bathroom on the same level which was far better. Again the room had not been thought out, it was very dark and it would be so much better if they lightened the decor instead of these really dark walls and the light switches were behind the bed so you could not switch them off when in bed you had to get out to access them and then in pitch black you had to find your way back to your bed. However, despite the room issues, the food was really good and the service was first class. The rooftop affords lovely views over Valetta and there are tables and chairs up there plus sunbeds and a very tiny pool but for a old building in the centre it was a eally pleasant area to sit in. The staff make this place and it is very well situated to explore Valetta. Would we re-visit yes we would mainly because of the staff and the good food!

This is a lovely hotel in the heart of Valletta. There are many bars around it but once you are in your room all is quiet. The only criticism I have is that the bedrooms can be quite dark and we were short on storage. The roof top plunge pool and bar added a chance to chill and relax after days of sightseeing, very welcome. All the staff were fantastic, breakfast had a great selection and the portions were huge. Big shoutout to Katho who really bent over backwards to provide everything we needed and more.

Great location, right in the centre, all the staff were excellent, breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and the service from Katho and the restaurant team was superb. We were made to feel very welcome & the staff were the reason we enjoyed our stay. We stayed for six nights and our room was a Superior room, it was poorly designed with nowhere to hang long clothes, very little storage space, it was dark & crowded with impractical furniture. The sink was unnecessarily big with taps too far away & nowhere to hang a towel. We felt the room was ‘designer’ at the expense of practicality, if you are staying only one or two nights this might not be an issue.

We stayed here for three nights and loved it. We had room 001 which was up a few steps but we found it comfortable, great shower and bathroom products. Tom spent ages telling us about Valletta and the hotel and recommended places to eat (we tried two of them and they were excellent). Lizet served us several times and was charming. All the staff we met were very helpful and polite. The breakfasts are great, no buffet but everything freshly prepared and very high quality. We had dinner in Grain Street one evening and the food was fantastic. Spent some time sitting upstairs near the pool (well, it is really a plunge pool and on the day I swam in it it was icy cold - very refreshing). It is a very comfortable area to sit in the sun. I chose this hotel as it was central and we would be able to walk everywhere, also British Airways did a deal with flights and I am very glad that I did. Would certainly come back if we visited Valletta again.
