I use an LPC1778 LQFP144</pre>
<pre>I set up the following pins as digital inputs:

P0[7]
P0[8]
P0[9]

I have 3.3 V on the pins but I only read '0's from the PIN register. I've tried to activate the internal pull-up with but the result was the same. 
These pins are of type W does this have an impact? I've used type D pins as digital inputs without encountering any problem.

You're right, bit 7 if the respective IOCON registers were set to '0'. I set this bit to '1' and now these pins works as expected. Thanks!

You can try this:

LPC_GPIO0-&gt;DIR = 0x0;<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>//set PORT0 as input
LPC_IOCON-&gt;P0_7 = 0xA0;
LPC_IOCON-&gt;P0_8 = 0xA0;
LPC_IOCON-&gt;P0_9 = 0xA0;

Just force the whole port to input and set the pins to the default state (and making sure bit 7 is set).  This worked for me.  The PIN register was changing value when I force the pins HIGH and LOW.

This is indeed a specialty of the W type pins.

Have a closer look at the respective IOCON register, with particular attention to bit 7  :-)
