When one sees photos on various booking sights there's always a slight scepticism and nervousness at how the accommodation is presented and described. One then looks at the reviews and tries to determine if there is equally a bias or misrepresentation. But this is not the case at Senglea Suites ! My wife and I frequently (at least try to) seek out high quality Airbnbs, Vrbo, apart/hotel rooms; so Senglea Suites is up there as the best we've had in many years! The rooms are better than portrayed through the pictures (we had a Queen suite with balcony); the room facilities (fridge, coffee, tea and water) and hygiene very high; the roof terrace (fab views across the harbours) relaxing but above all else Eric and Michael the proprietors are the most welcoming "super hosts" you'll ever meet! They are always in contact with you thru WhatsApp; attend breakfast (continental with eggs - an awesome omelette) to ensure everything is perfect and answer all your questions around what to see, do, eat and drink. Every recommendation they gave us we took up and we were not disappointed. If you are looking to stay in Malta don't be put off by not being in Valletta. The Senglea Suites are on the Isla peninsula. Water taxis are plentiful to take you to Valletta and the restaurant scene in Isla is better with many situated along the quayside- which is not the case in Valletta on account of the city being on a mount. Restaurants to visit (with my rating for food); Terrone-5; Le Regatta-4.5; Enchante-4; Aqua Blue-4; Novita-3.5. Bolt, Uber and eCabs are plentiful and cheap (no need to hire a car) but don't be shy of using public buses which are much cheaper and take you around the towns on Malta. In addition to browsing around the local environs plus Valletta, places to have on your list should include; Mdina/Rabat; Gozo (Victoria & Ramla Bay) by fast ferry; Marsaxlokk.

Everything. The design is amazing. So many little details have been considered. Cleanliness is 10/10. Staff are super friendly. Views from the 2 rooftop terraces are to die for. Just everything, communication from the owners was amazing. Cannot not fault anything. Will 100% be returning and recommending.

There is simply nothing to dislike

From the moment we entered thought the blue door, everything was just ‘Wow!!’ The entire hotel was beautifully decorated and when we were shown into our room (rm6) on the top floor, going up in the glass lift, we were blown away by the breathtaking view! The room was so beautiful yet very cosy and of course spotlessly clean. The location was just right for us too, away from the hassle and bustle of Valletta but only 10 minutes across the water by the cute local boats (€2 each way). Every morning, we ate fantastic breakfast on the top terrace enjoying the amazing view (gluten free available). The host, Eric and Michael were very helpful and made us feel very welcome, always available to answer any questions we had before/during our stay. We highly recommend Senglea Suits to anyone looking to enjoy the delights of Malta. We can’t wait to go back!

None we liked everything about it.

The hotel is beautiful, full of lovely furniture and thoughtful touches (an ice maker, lanterns for the terrace, make-up mirrors and wipes, beautiful lighting details...). Michael and Eric are the perfect hosts with excellent, helpful communication, and Nitish looked after us so kindly. Lovely breakfasts can be taken indoors or on the terrace. Most exceptional of all are the outdoor spaces, particularly the rooftop which offers breathtaking views over the 3 cities and to Valletta. Easy access to Birgu (20-30 min walk) and to Valletta by ferry, water taxi, or Bolt. There are several restaurants on the waterfront a few minutes' walk from the hotel.

The hotel is pretty perfect, but a closer convenience store or mini market would be a great addition to the area!

This was by far the best place we ever stayed in. It surely deserves a 20 out of 10! Michael and Eric are amazing people who have given a lot of thought, dedication and love to creating such a beautiful place. They were always responding quickly, had helpful information throughout our stay and could not have been more supportive. We loved the personal welcome and the room we stayed in was perfectly clean and brilliantly furnished. Frances’ omelette for breakfast is the best we ever tasted and Nitheesh is always there to help with anything needed. It really felt like home away from home! We cannot wait to be back!

The location of this hotel was great! It was easy to get around and the owner Eric was helpful the entire time. We loved the rooftop view and our hotel room was spacious. We would definitely recommend to others and would stay here again!

Nothing.

Amazing Stay with Exceptional Service! We had an incredible experience at this hotel, thanks to the amazing team of Eric, Michael, and Nitheeash. They went above and beyond to make our stay feel truly special and hassle-free. Their genuine passion for ensuring we had a memorable time in Malta really stood out, and the service throughout our stay was simply lovely. The breakfast was fantastic, with a great selection of food . We also had some really fun and friendly chats with the everyone , which made mornings even more enjoyable. The rooftop views were breathtaking—a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of Malta over breakfast. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Initially, I was concerned that the hotel might be a bit far out, but the location turned out to be fantastic—everything we needed was close and easy to access. If we ever come back to Malta, we wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Senglea Suites was truly one of the finest experiences we’ve ever had. The exceptional quality of the rooms and the hotel itself was elevated even further by the incredible hospitality of our hosts, Eric and Michael. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine care made our visit unforgettable. The property is the very embodiment of elegance, comfort, and timeless class. Every detail, from the luxurious fixtures to the thoughtfully designed suites, places Senglea Suites head and shoulders above the typical hotel experience. The bed was exceptionally soft and inviting — a true haven after a long day spent exploring the vibrant streets and historic sites. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast featuring a beautiful selection of hot dishes alongside a Mediterranean spread, complete with fine breads, fresh fruits, juices, cheeses, and sliced meats — a perfect way to start the day. Nestled in the charming town of Senglea, just across the bay from Valletta, the location couldn’t be more ideal. A short and scenic ferry ride brings you directly to the heart of Malta’s capital. The hotel’s rooftop deck offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay and Valletta’s iconic skyline — an especially magical place to watch the sunrise. There is so much more that could be said, but above all, we want to express just how wonderful and memorable our experience was. Without a doubt, we will return — and we highly recommend booking well in advance, as this gem of a boutique hotel is understandably in high demand.

Senglea Suites Boutique Hotel is located in the Three Cities part of Malta and is a 15 minute walk to the Ferry and then a 5 to 10 minute cruise to the capital Valletta (from which you can easily get to Sliema). Michael and Eric gave us a friendly welcome to the hotel; Michael then showed us to our room and then the rooftop areas, which have excellent views across the water to Fort St. Angelo and the Birgu Waterfront. We were on the top floor but there is a very modern lift so no stairs to climb unless we wanted to (only once). Breakfast was served in the dining room and could be enjoyed there or a tray could be taken to the rooftop. The hotel is close to the Senglea waterfront which has lovely restaurants where you can eat/drink close to the water and watch the boats go by. The room was amazing, with every convenience we wanted; the hotel as a whole was very well thought out and we loved our stay there. Highly recommended.

Nothing at all.

Couldn't fault the hotel or the people running it. Room 4 was exeptional, very much in character with Malta. Breakfast was lovely with an adequate choice to start your day. We had views of Valletta from the rooftop, great for the end of season 2hr fireworks display. Has to been seen. Fantastic. Big thanks to the guys running the hotel, Michael and Eric. They couldn't do enough for us. Spot on. 10/10

Nothing really. Just be prepared for the 147 steps down to the Marina and back up. A great way of burning off the excess calories :) Written by Alan.
