Excellent location, very friendly staff. Also, very clean and secure.

The neighbourhood can be loud and lively, but the hotel tries (and mostly succeeds) at making it less disruptive. And inside the hotel is wonderfully calm and cool.

Wonderful staff, great location.

The accommodation was wonderful — very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and in an excellent location right in the center, close to all points of interest. Mark is a fantastic host, and Santos, who cleaned our room, was also outstanding. We highly recommend it without hesitation.

Breakfast is really bad - too few choices, and everything imported and “casual market” quality, we are lucky that we have not taken offer of “only” 10€/day for entire stay (10€ is not too much for breakfast, but in this case, it is overpriced). Our entire stay (4 nights) was really good, but we would rate it in total as 8/10, and for the price of almost 350€/night (without breakfast and any other content) we were expecting it being 10/10, so we are a little bit dissapointed - we know that we are paying for the location and terrace with hot tub here, but still, everything should be on a little bigger scale. Part of the hot tub massage functions (about 30%) were not working. There are 2 large construction cranes just above the terrace with hot tub (picture provided) so there is a lot of noise and no privacy during the day - this should have been mentioned prior to our arrival and we think this should have large impact on the price of the suite (we are paying large premium for the privacy, and you don’t have it during the working hours). There is no sun protection on the terrace (sun umbrellas or any other kind) so if you don’t want to be on direct sunlight, you can use terrace only after 17:00 h). In the Q/A section here it is mentioned that it is possible to ask for sun umbrella, but they don’t allow it due to security reasons - we can understand that, but this needs to be emphasized before booking). Most of the staff at the reception does not speak good english, and it seems like they are avoiding you just so that they don’t need to speak at all. Hotel lift is really slow - it has only 4 floors, and it takes several minutes to call it and arrive to last floor.

Location, location and location - the best possible position if you want to be in Valletta and in center of everything. Cleanliness of interior and exterior. Hot bathtub and privacy at night. View from the terrace. Availability of room appliances like iron, bathroom accessories etc. Free bottled water in unlimited quantities (you just need to call room service for another bottle). Reception is open 0-24.

Vert comfortable and clean room with good AC. Good breakfast and friendly staff. I didn't notice any noise from outside during the nights. The 24h reception was also nice.

The Barrister is one of the most best boutique hotels I’ve ever visited! Kindness, cleanliness, comfort were some of the characteristics. The room was spacious with everything that one guest would ever need, in a very central point of Valletta. Excellent breakfast and a cafe americano that was waiting for me every morning! Thank you for this wonderful hospitality! We will be back very soon!

If you wanted to go to sleep before 11pm the bars in adjoining Strait Street could be nosy

We stayed on the top floor which had a lovely terrace and hot tub, which we cooled down to enable us to cool off The staff and especially Mark who gave us his knowledge and expertise of Malta freely

Nothing. We were extremely satisfied with our stay :)

Fantastic little gem in the heart of Valletta. Clean, comfortable, and a lovely spread for breakfast. Staff is warm, welcoming and friendly. We had a patch of plaster in our bathroom bcos of some last minute work at the hotel so the gentleman who I believe is the owner upgraded us to the best room with the hot tub in the balcony, which was very generous. That speaks to their quality of service. We’ll be back again.

Little noisy but expected when it is so central

Excellent location and staff. The manager gave good advice. The bed was very comfortable & the room very clean.

Property was great. There were some bars under our room which on a weekend are noisy. This didn’t really bother us but suspect it would annoy some people - quieter during the week. The hotel dies provide earplugs

Friendly staff, clean, great city location.

The only issue was that the local bars were extremely loud even with the windows closed until very late, 2am - 3am. Thumping music, screaming, etc.

The Barrister was in an ideal. location with close proximity to all of the historical sights, great restaurants and bars. The property was clean and very well equipped with essentials and little extras. The staff was welcoming, helpful and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was everything we wished it would be. Thank you!

Very central and nice, comfortable place. Easy check in and easy check out. Right in the middle of nightlife, therefore gets a bit noisy over the weekend nights, be prepared. It did not bother me and it was very easy to walk back to the hotel after partying.

The Hotel is perfectly positioned to access all the main areas of Valletta
