Valletta, the capital of Malta , is a fascinating city. Yet nearly 500 years of history are not easily traversed on foot. It is a vibrant city where, among its unique houses, magnificent palaces, and history that is everywhere, you can find quite a few restaurants and entertainment venues.
From Valletta you can easily reach the three cities on the other side of the bay. You can also easily reach Sliema by ferry and from there by bus or on foot you can reach St. Julian's , the entertainment capital of the island. And finally, and most importantly, outside the walls of Valletta is Malta's main bus station. Just as all roads lead to Rome, so all buses go to Valletta.
If you love culture and are interested in discovering Malta and its secrets, Valletta is the perfect place to stay for you. To help you find an excellent hotel, I have collected for you a few recommended hotels. Most of the hotels are five and four star, because hotels in Malta are relatively cheap compared to hotels in Paris , for example, so it is recommended to invest a little and pamper yourself.
The standard of hotels in Malta is slightly lower than in France , so a 4-star hotel will often feel like a 3-star. This is why you will only find a few 3-star hotels and I do not recommend hotels rated 2 stars or lower, although they certainly exist in Malta.
Here is a list of recommended hotels in Valletta, the capital of Malta.

Hello Zvi,
I enjoyed reading your website!
My husband and I booked flights for a vacation in Malta between October 18 and 24, 2019. We are 65-70 years old, and like to travel leisurely and also rest and wander.
I would be happy to advise you on where to stay overnight. I was thinking about the city of Volta, which I understand is a convenient hub for traveling from in terms of buses, as well as a beautiful, interesting, and bustling city.
On the other hand, I also wanted a beach or at least a sea view, and I'm not sure if there is one in Volta.
I would love to hear from you.
Thanks

Hi, hello!
I really enjoyed reading your explanations about Malta.
Although it is a great place for the summer, we were looking for a nice place to go for a different winter vacation…..and we decided to go to Malta. Opinions often range from boring to magical……
We took a deal that included a flight and a hotel, so the options are a bit limited.
I have a list of hotels, can you recommend a good one?
Santana Hotel
bay street hotel
Diplomat
dolmen
pebbles resort
Victoria Hotel
silver
By the way, we are 57 years old and the flight is on: 17.12
Thank you
I will rejoice in repentance
Laura
