8/10 Good

The staff was very kind and welcoming, and my stay was just what I hoped for!
Heidi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely, clean, classy boutique style hotel within a historical building. All of the staff were fantastic and made our stay feel as though we were staying with good friends. The owner has a wealth of knowledge about Malta and the best attractions to see as well as suggestions of the best restaurants at reasonable prices. The hotel is also perfectly situated for exploring Valletta on foot. The owner and all of the staff worked hard to ensure that our stay was a memorable experience and we were made to feel valued and special.
Welcoming facade of the hotel in the evening

Kim, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly staff and a good breakfast!

6/10 Okay

Street closed off. Massive Crane overhead. Bags of rubbish dumped in the doorway of the derelict building next door .Outside of hotel area very unappealing. Music from carmens club on next street was unbelievable. It was so noisy until at least 2am or maybe later , then when the music stops got to listen to the revellers for a further hour. If this is what you enjoy then this hotel will suit you .
annemarie, 2-night trip

Soeren, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Outstanding in every way! The room was very well appointed, bed was comfortable, and service was spot-on! Breakfast was fresh and tasty. The manager was like a casual concierge, providing ideas and information to make our trip even better. I give the Barrister 11 out of 10!
Lorelle M, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel with a small amount of rooms, maybe around 20. Staff were very friendly to us and helpful with recommendations for bars/restaurants and tours.

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location and wonderful people

What a superb hotel, in the best possible location and with a wonderful host and staff. They were very helpful and could not do enough to provide advice, hints and tips to make our stay very enjoyable.
7-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel and staff OK. Underwhelming breakfast options (probably because this is a small hotel). Very noisy from adjacent streets until early hours of the morning due to the number of bars playing very loud music. Impossible to sleep.
Frances Patricia, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect city-center boutique hotel

Really enjoyed my time here - spent a week and was a lovely little home base in Malta. Rooms all very thoughtfully designed with high-quality linens and toiletries. Breakfast was above and beyond relative to a boutique hotel of this size, with plenty of delicious options and an extremely attentive staff. Everyone in the hotel was very kind and welcoming, and hotel owner Mark goes out of his way to get to know his guests and provide everything they need to have a wonderful stay. If you’re looking for a chain-style hotel with silent rooms and an enormous buffet, I might look elsewhere, but if you want to stay at a lively, top-quality boutique hotel at the heart of a European city, Barrister is the place to go. I swear by Rick Steves in Europe and could definitely see this spot in his guide if he had one for Malta. The excellent ratings are well-earned.
Julia, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic service and extremely helpful staff
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Massimo, 4-night trip

Relaxing stay in a well located hotel

We had such a warm welcome to the hotel and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The hotel is off the main streets so nice and quiet at nighttime but only a very short walk to bars and restaurants.
Laura, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had to book at last minute due to changes in our flight. The staff was so kind, very helpful. The hotel it is so nice, clean and well decorated. It is close (walking distance) to main attractions. Good restaurants and bars are nearby. Great experience
