8/10 Very good

Central Valletta location. Staff were always courteous and helpful. Room small but fresh. It is noisy in the surrounding streets so if you’re a light sleeper it may not be the hotel for you (although they do supply ear plugs!).

4/10 Fair

The staff were nice and the hotel is beautiful but overall this is overpriced The main issue for us was the noise in our room coming from adjacent bars. There is not much to the hotel apart from a breakfast room, and the hero picture is misleading as it is a private terrace which is not accessible to most rooms We later stayed in a nicer, cheaper hotel very close

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at The Barrister Hotel in Valletta to celebrate the New Year and had a wonderful time. The hotel location is excellent, in the centre of the city, and close to the main tourist attractions, bars, restaurants, buses and ferries. All the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was a good size and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed, including a good sized walk-in shower. There was some noise from the local bars, due to being so central, but keeping the windows closed kept most of the noise out. Earplugs were provided but not needed. The continental breakfast was fresh with a good variety to choose from and staff were very attentive, offering a range of hot and cold drinks. We would recommend the Barrister to anyone wanting a boutique experience in the heart of Valletta.

Excellent location and service

Location is excellent in the heart of Valetta, but not so close to all the noise. The staff are especially welcoming and helpful with advice about local places to visit, for dining and otherwise. Highly recommended. And thanks Mark for all your help!

The hotel Is located in the center of the town, easy to walk to the ferry, bus or just enjoying the views of this amazing city. The hotel is comfortable, the staff is very professional and friendly. The only cons I have to mention is the sounds from the bars🎵 at night, it can be loud! But, the hotel will provide ear plugs😁. We had breakfast 🍳included with was great. The owner Mark is very knowledgeable about places and how to get there, definitely if you need help ask him.
