Located in Valletta, Iniala Harbour House is in the city centre and near the beach. Tower Road and Sliema Promenade are notable landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Grand Harbour and Sliema Ferry. Malta Experience and Fort St. Elmo are two other places to visit that come recommended. Fishing offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding nearby. Visit our Valletta travel guide

amazing hotel
all staff very friendly and help full
great location beautiful views
hotel smelt great
great big beds
great rooms
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.
The associates of this hotel are wonderful offering incredible service. The hotel is located in a fabulous area of Malta which plenty to do. Rooms were unique and ours had a rooftop terrace with hot tub overlooking the harbor. Will definitely stay here again.
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. Amazing shower, rooms are immaculate, pool and gym facilities wonderful. Will definitely be back - you can’t stay anywhere else in Valletta!
Iniala is a terrific hotel, set a beautiful building and facilitated by a great team of staff. Everything in the suite was perfect every day, the lobby was welcoming and check in and out easy. Highly recommend
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.
One of the best vacations! Both Iniala and Malta were not on my radar - suffice it to say…I will be back! Loved everything about it so much, we cancelled our trip to Palermo and stayed two extra days. Service, location, staff, proximity and HISTORY….all five star!
