Iniala Harbour House is an amazing place! They went above and beyond for us on our short stay there for the first stop of our honeymoon. The room and views were gorgeous, the staff was kind and courteous. We were able to use to indoor cave pool late one night just for ourselves and it was incredibly romantic. We also forgot an iPad and they called us asap to come retrieve it! Best place to stay in Valletta! I wish we could have stayed there longer

Exceptional and memorable visit thanks to the entire Iniala Team (receptionists, butlers, service staff and management). From the minute we arrived we were welcomed with genuine smiles and professionalism. We had an issue with our room and the team response was immediate and professional they truly care about their clients. A special thanks to Renata, Joanna, Isabella for the wonderful customer care. My husband and I highly recommend Iniala. Thank You from Massimiliano and Maria

A lovely characterful property in a quiet, yet incredibly convenient location. Our suite in the Hideaway was on the top floor with a mezzanine level and outdoor spa pool. The view towards the harbour and of the three cities was amazing. However, for someone less mobile the spiral staircase might be tricky to climb. The hotel was very luxurious and the service first class. We will definitely return as Malta has so much to offer and 3 days wasn’t nearly enough time to experience it all.

Nous avions choisi cet hôtel pour son standing 5 étoiles, mais notre expérience a été loin des attentes que l’on peut avoir à ce niveau de prix. Équipements insuffisants : Il n’y a nulle part où étendre les serviettes après une douche ou une baignade, ce qui est totalement inacceptable pour un hôtel de cette catégorie. Technologie défaillante : Le Chromecast ne fonctionne pas, et malgré nos signalements, aucun support efficace n’a été proposé. Impossible donc d’utiliser la TV correctement avec nos propres appareils. Petit-déjeuner hors de prix : Le prix demandé est exorbitant par rapport à la qualité et au choix proposé. Nous avons trouvé des options bien meilleures en dehors de l’hôtel pour un coût nettement inférieur. Chambres dans des bâtiments séparés : Il faut sortir à l’extérieur et marcher sous la pluie pour accéder au petit-déjeuner, au spa ou à la piscine. Ce manque de praticité est vraiment frustrant, surtout en cas de mauvais temps. Pour un 5 étoiles, on attend une meilleure organisation.

Absolutely flawless in every way. From the champagne tour of the property to the attention to detail, the staff were amazing. The location cannot be beaten - make sure you book a harbour view room.
