Nine suites in a Victorian townhouse on Old Theatre Street, opposite the Carmelite church, with wooden balconies, a courtyard and terraces with jacuzzis.

A townhouse on Old Theatre Street
Casa Ellul is a small hotel of nine suites inside a Victorian-era townhouse on Old Theatre Street, the street that slopes down to Marsamxett harbour, directly opposite the Carmelite church, whose dome dominates that part of Valletta. It is the project of the Ellul brothers, and the suites were designed by the Maltese architect Chris Briffa, who mixed the old features of the house (high ceilings, fireplaces, closed wooden balconies, typical of the island) with modern bathrooms and furniture. It belongs to the Small Luxury Hotels of the World association.
You are inside the walls: St John's Co-Cathedral is about five minutes' walk away, and Republic Street two blocks. At night, when the cruise ships leave, this part of the city is quiet.
The suites, one by one
Each suite is different, and it is worth choosing with the description in front of you:

Suites 1 and 4, deluxe, with balconies onto the inner courtyard. Number 4 is large and quiet, with high ceilings, and can connect with 5.
Suite 2, twin, with a balcony onto the courtyard and a freestanding bath.
Suite 3, junior, with the bath in the bathroom and views of the Carmelite church through an original Maltese balcony.
Suite 5, Piano Nobile, the one on the main floor: a bed with a wrought-iron headboard, an original fireplace, an old upright piano and the bath placed on the wooden balcony itself, facing the church.
Suites 6 and 7, duplexes on the top floor, with a simpler interior. Number 6 has a terrace over the rooftops and Marsamxett harbour; number 7, a private terrace with a jacuzzi and a view of the dome.
Suite 8, executive, also upstairs, with a private terrace and jacuzzi, and a glass opening in the bathroom towards the church.
Suite 9, Old Theatre, the last to be added.

All have a private bathroom, and daily cleaning is included. There is a 24-hour reception, a shaded courtyard where cocktails are served and in-room massage treatments, with a separate menu.
Eating and getting around from here
The hotel's website links to Risette, its restaurant, which the Michelin Guide includes in its Valletta selection. For simpler eating, a few steps away you have Caffe Cordina on Republic Square, and for Maltese cooking, Ta' Nenu or Rubino.
You do not need a car. From the airport you take the bus to the City Gate terminal and from there walk about ten minutes downhill; with a suitcase, a fixed-fare taxi drops you at the door. The streets on this side slope and some have steps. The boat to Sliema leaves from Marsamxett harbour, a few minutes' walk away.

A tener en cuenta: The website does not publish rates: the price is requested by form or email. Some suites have the bath on the balcony or the jacuzzi on the terrace.
