it’s very well located in Valetta. The staff is very friendly and warm, they all are ready to help or assist you with anything you need specially Mark and Emma. Rooms are very clean and cozy. It was a wonderful stay!

Claudia Colombia

The staff is very friendly, thoughtful, and reception is available 24/7. Restaurant and housekeeping are around on a daily basis. The manager is a great touristic advisor; attentive, and thanks to him that our plans were optimized during our stay. The room is very sufficient, clean, and all necessities were provided including different kit sets in the bathroom. The location is excellent. The harbor for the ferry to go to Gozo is 15-minutes away walking distance. Located in Valetta's old town so everything is around. And so good is that it's quiet at night due to the room isolation and being at distance from fussy spots. Breakfast is good as well with varieties from salt to sweet stuff, fruits provided, juices and coffee are on demand. In short, I highly recommend it.

Chadi Tunisia

I did not have high expectations as I had paid more than 1/3 more for another hotel nearby and it was bad. Yet the Barrister is really focused on quality and comfort. Everything is clean, new and of high quality. The check in easy and with a smile. The room, even the least expensive one, was excellent. Bright, with all the cons, helpful plagues, powerful hairdyer. We felt this was excellent value for money. Amazing location too. Very impressed with this hotel. Pleeeeease dont change!

Alexandra United Kingdom

Modern hotel with elevator in great location. Can walk within a few minutes of any central Valletta museums, royal palace, war museum, war rooms, restaurants, and shops. Very clean and up to date. Nice breakfast. Staff was very helpful with tips and suggestions. Would stay here again.

David United States of America

The location in central Valletta was perfect for exploring the city and the island. The accommodations were very comfortable and the breakfast filling. The best part was the hospitality! Mark and the entire hotel team truly care that the guests have the best experience and will go out of their way to help shape itineraries, make dinner reservations and make the vacation unforgettable.

Viviana United States of America

Location, close to all attractive places, friendly staff, cleanliness, breakfast. Mark a manager of the hotel. His recommendations and assistance were very helpful.

Alex Israel

The best part of this lovely tastefully renovated hotel is the family running it. The level of caring, warmth and welcome is without compare! This kind of hospitality is rare these days and it makes all the difference

We loved the space - the private terrace was spacious and had an amazing view. There was very little overlooking us in our hot tub, which worked perfectly. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Valetta. The staff were fab, particularly the owner who went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay and recommended a great restaurant.

Laurence United Kingdom

The hotel manager is really friendly and made us feel very welcome. I loved the complementary minibar and coffee, and the bed was super comfortable. And after coming from Gozo, the best thing was the water pressure in the shower :D

Birgit Austria
