Il Palazzin Hotel

Nel complesso un buon Hotel datato ma funzionante. Camere pulite e posizione comoda per spostarsi in quanto tutta l'area è in fase di riqualificazione. Colazione a buffet con maggior scelta sul salato tipica all'inglese o americana . Prezzo qualità, consiglio

The breakfast is included and is nice. The room is clean. It takes around 5 mins to walk to the main bus terminal.

Great hotel with fantastic breakfast. Fully recommended.

Lovely holiday we stayed recently at this hotel it is surrounded by apartments so no sea view. But it was a nice quiet area although lots of building in some streets, it didn’t impact on us. The room was comfortable and looked newly painted. The bed was large and very comfortable, the balcony was overlooking the pool and complete with table and chairs to sit out. The bathroom was a bit tired and the shower lacked power, but it was very clean. The pool was a nice place to sit out and didn’t get busy while we were there as it’s a fairly small area but plenty of beds and shade. Breakfast was good with plenty of variety. Staff were great and very friendly. Some good restaurants within a few minuets walk, seafood, Italian and burgers. About 5 minutes from the main bus station and buses cheap to pop around the island a better option than the hop on bus which goes to Valletta before beginning the trip so it’s an all day affair. Well worth a visit a good quality budget hotel.

Overall not great. We booked a week stay here as part of a package holiday but left early. First warning was the receptionist would only give us one key card for the room. When I said "but there are 4 of us" (couple and two teenagers) she shouted that she had 200 guests and could not give more than one key per room. We never felt we could ask her for any advice or information about the area. She made us feel as if we were a nuisance. Secondly, the 'indoor pool' is hilariously small, like a children's pool and the outdoor pool was only cleaned on the third day of our stay. Also, the maid knocked on our door to clean the room early each morning even when we told her that we were getting ready to go out for the day and just needed a little time. The decor is shabby and in need of updating. Our room was a little dark and depressing, with the smallest TV I've seen in years, about the the size of a laptop. The breakfast wasn't of great quality although there was a lot of choice. As for the positives, the little balcony was nice and it looks quite pleasant from the outside. Most of the other staff, at reception and in the breakfast room were polite and helpful. It's not in a great area but it is a short walk to the local bus terminus and the promenade is close by. There are also lots of coffee shops and restaurants in the area. It's definitely not a 4 star hotel and badly needs an upgrade to bring it out of the 1980s. If you are just planning to sleep here for a few nights, and get out every day for day trips it should be OK, but if you have notions of relaxing by the pool or having a few drinks in the bar, forget it. The one night we got back from a long day out I ordered a drink and the barman asked if I wanted another before he closed;it was 10pm! We booked a B&B for the last 2 nights of our stay, which was lovely by comparison.

Stayed only one night after a cruise, the staff are the friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the room did not live up to expectations, we found the mattress’s really hard and uncomfortable, the bathroom was functional but there was issues. It is very old and dated.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. It has a very relaxed feeling to it and the members of staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sitting outside drinking the lovely cocktails whilst the children played in the pool and really enjoyed our stay in Malta. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was ok but can be repetitive and also quite basic. I mostly had toast and would have preferred more variety of fruits and pastries. The biggest issue I had during my stay was that there wasn’t any water in the hotel room upon check in and and so would highly recommend that the hotel provide guests with a complimentary bottle of water upon arrival as when we arrived at 1.30am with small children I had to walk to the shop to buy water, which is was not ideal at that time of night and after travelling. Overall a very friendly and relaxed experience and I would stay there again.

Wouldn't recommend at all! The area around the hotel was awful, dirty and definitely not what you would call a tourist attraction. The bed was so hard that if you'd thrown a sheet over bricks it would have been better.

It's always good to return to the Palazzin, see friendly faces and receive a warm greeting and our visit this year was just as welcoming as always. The one thing that does make this little hotel special is the kindness and friendliness of all the staff from management through to the Chefs and down to the cleaners. I am very biased to both Malta and of course the Palazzin, but if you are looking for an excellent clean little hotel, conveniently situated and with excellent staff, then this certainly is the place to go. However, this year we have noticed a few things that have caused standards to slip a little. I like a good English fry up while on holiday, but was sad to see that English bacon had been replaced by something far less appealing, sausages had returned to the mini hot dog variety and fried eggs weren't always available having on certain days been replaced by a version of scrambled eggs. I need to add that after speaking to other British tourists in the area they were getting the same poor quality of bacon too. Other than that, everything was acceptable, but one of my main dislikes apart from the food was the waitresses playing on their phones while they waited for something to do. Perhaps I am old fashioned, but I don’t believe that phones should be allowed in the workplace. With regards to building work in the area, everything directly across the road on the site of the old Salina Wharf hotel seems to be finished leaving only very limited sea views and work still continues around most corners, but if you can put up with a bit of dust and one or two cranes then you will find the location of this hotel convenient for most things and only 5 minutes to the bus station. As always, our stay on Malta was a lovely one and I am always happy staying at the Palazzin and maybe when all the cutbacks have stopped I will get a better piece of bacon. Many thanks to Simon and all his staff for once again making our stay a very pleasant one and without doubt we will return to the Palazzin once again when funds allow.
