Mark and his team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was all we wanted it to be. Mark is very knowledgeable about Malta and helped us with deciding on days out. We booked room 42 with its own terrace and hot tub, which insured we had fantastic views for the NYE fireworks. Complimentary bubbly in the fridge on arrival along with snacks and soft drinks. I dont think we would change a thing. Don't be put off by the location, although very close to some noisy bars, the rooms are very sound proof and they supply earplugs as a back up, although we didn't need them. The bed was so comfortable obe of the best ive slept on and im fussy. They really think of everything you might have forgotten..Complimentary top class toiletries, shaving kit, dental kit, sewing kit, nail file, cotton buds the works. Thank you for such a magnificent stay we will be back 10/10

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.

Fantastic small hotel

Fantastic small hotel, great location. Walkable to everything in Valletta. Staff is friendly & helpful. Mark, the owner is outgoing, enthusiastic about Malta & as helpful as he could be. His recommendation for a driver on Gozo was spot on. Martin picked us up at the ferry & drove us around Gozo for the day at a reasonable price. My only problem was noise Friday night from the bars nearby. But we were supplied ear plug, & with the window closed it wasn't really a problem. I would recommend the Barrister to anyone visiting Valletta!

100% would recommend and return!

Lovely stay - rooms at the front of the hotel can be quite noisy at night because of the bars but they do provide ear plugs. Breakfast is continental but sufficient. The manager is lovely and offers any advice or tips you might be looking for. Staff are all polite and pleasant. Building itself is very clean and well kept but the bathroom did sometimes have a sulphur smell. Could be more eco friendly with the toiletries but the water and free mini bar were a lovely touch!

Excellent property and staff could not be more delightful, friendly or helpful. Nothing is too much bother. Owner on site every day and mixes with guests and is always willing to improve your stay. The only minor issue is noise from surrounding cafes and bars which I found disturbing on a few nights, otherwise I doubt you could get a better place to enjoy Malta. Many suggestions of things to do and see, places to go were offered, including ferry and bus times, and my days were filled. Excellent service all round. Highly recommend.
