Hotel beside Auberge de Castille and Upper Barrakka Gardens, within a minute of the Saluting Battery and the Barrakka Lift.
Castille Hotel is a mid-range hotel on Castille Place in Valletta, Malta, beside the Auberge de Castille, the baroque building that now houses the Office of the Prime Minister. Its position at the highest point of the peninsula places it within about a minute of the Upper Barrakka Gardens, the Saluting Battery and the Barrakka Lift, which descends to the Grand Harbour waterfront and the ferry to Birgu. Republic Street and the Valletta Gate entrance are a short walk away, and the bus terminus lies a few minutes beyond. The setting combines monumental Knights-era architecture with sweeping views over the Grand Harbour, and the hotel benefits from both. Accommodation comprises double rooms and harbour-view rooms, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, and breakfast is offered as part of the amenities. The harbour-view rooms are the standout, giving guests the sight of the Three Cities and the harbour from their windows. Dining options are plentiful on foot, including cafes in the gardens area, restaurants on Republic Street and venues around Merchants Street. The hotel has no pool or spa, and its appeal rests on location and value. Indicative rates are EUR 130-260 per night, with higher prices in summer and during events. The service is practical and suited to sightseers, couples and families wanting a central base. The midday firing of the Saluting Battery guns is a daily spectacle nearby, and visitors should expect crowds around the gardens at that time. Street gradients and steps are typical of Valletta.
