Had an amazing 7 nights stay at the Rosselli. Staff were very welcoming and attentive and went over and above to cater for our every need. Special thanks to Arun who carried out our butler service ensuring room was kept to a high standard and that we had everything we needed. Staff at reception, Grain Street breakfast and dinner teams as well as staff at the roof top bar also all provided a first class service. Would highly recommend the Rosselli and we intend to return.

During August 2025, my wife and I had the privilege of staying at this outstanding hotel in the heart of the Valletta. From the minute we arrived at the hotel the premises the staff were such a high quality it took our breath away. The all-inclusive breakfast was exquisite. Our room which faced onto merchant Street had soundproofing windows which worked absolutely excellent. The bed was to die for, the best we’d had in a while. The room was elegant and the tub in the room was an added bonus.. complementary water every day and turn down service was a bonus. The staff were willing to help and assist in anyway, they can. Very nice touch that they remembered our names every morning and every evening when we returned giving it that personal touch. The rooftop garden Sun lounge and plunge pool was such a welcome break after exploring all the delights of the Valletta. Would we stay here again- yes with a doubt.

Our stay at the Rosselli has been first class. The comfort room was spacious and immaculately clean, the housekeeping staff kept the room spotless and made our stay all the better with the nightly turn down service and sweet treat! Breakfast is the best part of the day, the menu is fantastic spanning healthy yogurt to the full English! What makes breakfast extra special at the Rosselli is the cheerful attentive staff, daily they take time to welcome you and chat about your day, we even managed to learn a few words of Maltese. The breakfast staff ensure you have plenty to drink and eat and always got our day off to happy start a truly lovely team of staff The reception team are always on hand to organise trips and nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure we enjoyed are stay Overall no hesitation in recommending the Rosselli hotel top class accommodation, food and the hotel staff are all fantastic.

From the moment we arrived, well past midnight, we experienced excellence. Warmly checked in by Naman, whose calming and attentive energy set the tone for the rest of our stay. Throughout our visit, the front desk team Dahy, Haek, and Amal looked after us wonderfully, offering thoughtful recommendations and guiding us to amazing things to do during our visit. We were greeted with friendliness and attentive care from Arun, Sijo, and Maeivel in housekeeping. After some full days of sightseeing, retreating to the rooftop bar and pool was the perfect way to unwind, with Tikindra serving up colourful and refreshing drinks. Not to forget the leadership of Mary Ruth, the manager calm and graceful on the surface, while clearly working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran flawlessly with her team. They all made us feel truly welcome. That rare balance of poise and dedication made our stay unforgettable. Dining at the Grain Street was absolutely exquisite. Taste buds went into a frenzy a one off. Touché to the chef and the whole team. To top off the experience, the incredible room balcony views immersed us into the local atmosphere whether first thing in the morning with a shot of coffee or something stronger in the evening delivered completely different each and every time. On our right was the street hustle and bustle on our left the serenity of the sea view. Up and above the sun and the stars. This hotel is a true hidden gem, where serene world-class hospitality meets stunning world-class design. We cannot wait to return!

The entrance to the hotel is inviting and it looks classy. The staff were absolutely delightful and very attentive. However, the rooms in this old building were not brilliant they were very dark and the decor is so dour it was depressing. We were upgraded to a suite but it was not for us. They had a bathroom and lounge on the entrance to the room and a spiral staircase to the bedroom, not suitable you would break your neck going down that spiral staircase at night if you needed the bathroom. They need to swop the room around and put the lounge upstairs far more conducive to health and safety. After seeing a couple of rooms we finally got a room with a bathroom on the same level which was far better. Again the room had not been thought out, it was very dark and it would be so much better if they lightened the decor instead of these really dark walls and the light switches were behind the bed so you could not switch them off when in bed you had to get out to access them and then in pitch black you had to find your way back to your bed. However, despite the room issues, the food was really good and the service was first class. The rooftop affords lovely views over Valetta and there are tables and chairs up there plus sunbeds and a very tiny pool but for a old building in the centre it was a eally pleasant area to sit in. The staff make this place and it is very well situated to explore Valetta. Would we re-visit yes we would mainly because of the staff and the good food!
