I absolutely loved staying in Domus Zamittello! First of all, the location couldn't be better. It's right in the heart of Valetta, very near the city's gates and the parliament. There are shops and cafes everywhere. The architecture and interior are a delight! The place is just so beautiful, it's one of the prettiest boutique hotels I've stayed in. The stuff is attentive, happy, helpful, it was a pleasure talking to them, from the Manager to the housekeeping. The breakfast is served, not buffet, but it makes sense because the restaurant area is small, it is impractical to have a buffet. But this doesn't mean the breakfast is lacking in variety of quality! On my last day, they even prepared a packed breakfast for me, as my flight was early in the morning and would miss it. The rooms are spacious, very elegantly decorated, clean and well maintained. The beds in particular are very comfortable; I had excellent sleep, especially given my chronic lower-back pain. It is also quiet, at least where I was staying, which was a room facing the Valetta Opera. You can set the room's air-conditioning temperature to your liking, and they have a turn-down service too. Overall, it feels more like a 5-star hotel than a 4-star. Highly recommended!

My husband and I loved our stay. Stunning hotel with great history, very helpful and welcoming staff, comfortable rooms, and in such a great location in the heart of Valletta. We enjoyed our massages in their spa, lounging on the terrace, and free + delicious breakfasts every morning. A must stay!

We have spent 3 nights in this hotel in March. This is a wonderful 4 star hotel. The service is extremely friendly and efficient. The rooms are big and even if the hotel is on a popular street, the rooms were very quiet. It was the hotel with the best quality and price trade-off that I have been to (and I travel a lot).Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!

What a great hotel with fantastic people. The whole team were extremely hospitable and helpful from the moment we got there. No need to visit a tourist office for information as Mall (sorry if spelt incorrectly) and the team's knowledge and advice was second to none! The hotel was situated in the perfect location. A special mention should go to Fabien, who escorted us in the pouring rain (with umbrellas) to meet our cab for the airport at 6am (on our departure day). Excellent hotel!
