- 19 Rooms

Housed in this 18th century palazzo, 19 Rooms has been lovingly and attentively renovated from scratch by a young and adventurous team who turned this already special building into a beautiful, no expense spared but very down to earth boutique hotel. Using modern and raw materials like concrete, glass and steel, the team have really managed to create a special and wonderful atmosphere where the raw and luxurious collide.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
I loved staying here! It was super cozy and everyone was so nice at the front desk. I liked the location, Alfaro and Monica were so nice and the breakfast people were great. It was quiet and the room was small, I had a nice window and I was happy.
This is very good accommodation with friendly, helpful staff. We were in the Duplex Suite to the left of the main entrance. It is on two levels (stairs only) and quite spacious, except for the bathroom/toilet which is very tight for space. We did find ourselves going up and down the stairs frequently between the lower kitchen/sitting room and the upper bedroom/bathroom. The bed was quite comfortable and it was nice having a Maltese balcony off the bedroom to watch the world going by outside. The kitchen had fairly minimal cooking equipment, but we managed to prepare basic meals with it. There was occasionally some intrusive outside noise and also sometimes a smell of sewage, but apparently the latter is a feature of Valletta when the wind blows from the wrong direction. The breakfast spread was very good in pleasant surroundings. The location is excellent being outside the main busy tourist precinct, but close enough to walk there in a few minutes, also close to the harbourside.
The room was beautifully quiet the first two nights. The bed was huge and very comfortable and heating worked well. However, the bathroom - whilst probably perfect in summer - was cold and we had to ask for a towel change every day as it was impossible to get them dry. The website says rooms are soundproofed - one of the things that appealed - however, when guests arrived nextdoor on our last night, we could hear every word they said and their television! Extra touches like free homemade cake, coffee and local wine were very much appreciated.
Great location, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, free coffee and cakes in the afternoon, and free wine in the early evening. We stayed in the duplex which was very nice, but a bit dark as only the upstaires bedroom had a window.
We stayed in 19 Rooms Valletta for three nights and it was great! When we got there we were informed we had a free upgrade to our room, which was lovely. The room was huge, with a massive bathroom and walk in shower. In the room, we had plenty of hanging space, along with everything else you’d want. We had a great balcony which you could see the street and sea from, along with another enclosed balcony, which was brilliant, especially as we weren’t blessed with the greatest weather in March! This meant we could still enjoy the scenery but not get wet and it felt like we were sat on a balcony still! Breakfast was fine, everything you’d expect from a continental and meant you could fill up for the day. There was also free wine and cake in the afternoon, a nice touch. Hotel staff were very helpful and gave lots of advice on trips and how to get to Gozo etc. Hotel was perfectly located, about 15 minutes to get to the city centre and close to everything you’d want. All in all, a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend if you were visiting!
