A 19th-century palazzo turned chic retreat in Valletta's historic centre

With its elegant, tiered balconies overlooking the street, Casa Ellul captures the traditional style of a Valletta townhouse. From the outside of this boutique hotel, it seems little has changed from the moment the Ellul family made it their home back in the 1830s. But step inside and you’ll discover a contemporary haven that celebrates this elegant city's past.

Take in the tranquil central courtyard, gathered around classical statues and historic Maltese features, such as original patterned tiles. Then seek out your suite, where modern artworks and cutting edge design stand alongside original antiques and period features. Choose Suites 6, 7 or 8 and you’ll have your own private rooftop terrace – the place to take in panoramic city views.

Casa Ellul puts Valletta's cultural gems right at your feet. You could learn the story of the city's legendary founders, the Knights of St John, at the opulent Grand Master's Palace. Or marvel at baroque artwork at St John's Co-cathedral. Seek out the city's avant garde architecture, from the Open Air Theatre to the ground-breaking new gate to the city. Then watch the sun set from Upper Barrakka Gardens before catching a live show at the Manoel Theatre.


Enjoy your stay!

Great location - we loved the breakfast

Great small hotel with just a few rooms, all furnished in a special and modern way, which is an exciting contrast to the old building. The most striking element is certainly the terrace of two suites with a view of the dome of the church opposite, which seems to tower just an arm's length away, incredibly Read more[SPLIT]Read lessimpressive.

The room was unusual but comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Incredible stay, warm hospitality and lovely location

Casa Ellul is right in the heart of old town Valletta. With only nine rooms, you are made to feel right at home, and the daily breakfasts are personalised and stunning. Alfredo is a great host, and nothing is too much to ask for. We were very well looked after and would return again on a Malta visit. Read more[SPLIT]Read less

A great location in the heart of Valletta with a very attentive and helpful staff

The staff at the hotel is extremely helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and the location is perfect. Despite being in the center of the city, the rooms are very quiet, and the air con and WiFi worked well. Katarina made us feel welcome and the entire staff worked hard to assist with every request including Read more[SPLIT]Read lessarrangements for a wine tasting, a driver, and a taxi. There is limited space to relax … the room had only one couch, no true outdoor space, no bar, or common area. There is limited storage space in the room for clothes. The staff assisted with dinner reservations but we did have some mixed results. This property did not disappoint and is consistent with the type of quality and service that we have become accustom to with the SLH brand.
