Xerri's Grotto

Pros - The location is excellent and only 10min walk to ferries and buses etc. Staff service is exceptional and very friendly to accommodate. Fabulous rooftop for sunbathing & small pool Room and bathroom was clean & tidy Breakfast has a large choice and very tasty Aircon in room is a godsend Cons - Road outside gets really busy with traffic and I’m sure the air quality at peak times is way above legal limits Sign asking to shower before entering pool is hidden behind plant and hardly anyone showers before use Shower tray in bathroom allows water to run onto bathroom floor flooding bathroom so have to pile towels to stop this happening Walls are thin and due to tiled floor can be quite noisy. Restaurant meant to be best in Malta but menu very limited especially for vegetarian options Our room had no view at all, also if you leave card slot and aircon on overnight bring something to cover the green light as this is very bright especially if a light sleeper like me. - Overall we were happy with our stay.

We had a brilliant stay at Palazzo Violetta. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, our room was lovely and clean and the pool area was great too. Good location, not too long a walk to restaurants etc and plenty of bus stops around the hotel. Would definitely recommend

This hotel is one of the best we’ve ever stayed at. The staff were beyond excellent. Our room overlooking The Grand Harbour had 3 balconies. The views were amazing.
