Two pools and outdoor space
Il Palazzin runs two outdoor swimming pools alongside a sun deck, garden, and furnished terrace. The setup gives guests a reasonable amount of poolside space without crowding onto a single deck.
Balcony rooms with pool views
Several room categories include a private balcony looking over the pools. The Superior rooms in particular are worth requesting if outdoor space and a view factor into your decision.
On-site dining and bar
The hotel's restaurant serves breakfast — rated well by guests — and the bar and snack bar are available for lighter meals and drinks. There is no need to leave the property for an evening drink.
Garden terrace setting
The hotel has a proper garden alongside its terrace and outdoor furniture areas. It is a more planted setting than the typical urban Maltese hotel block, which gives the property a distinct daytime character.
