I loved my stay! The only downsides were that late check out wasn’t available and there’s a club next door so the music can get pretty loud at night. Other than that everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend it. (One thing to keep in mind there’s currently construction in the area so Uber and Bolt can’t always drop you off directly in front of the property. If you’re traveling with heavy or multiple bags you may have a short walk.

We stayed at The Barrister Hotel in Valletta for three nights and had a very pleasant experience overall. The hospitality was excellent, both the manager and staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay comfortable.

The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and located right in the heart of Valletta. The location is fantastic, surrounded by beautiful restaurants, historic sights, and everything you would want to explore in Malta.

Unfortunately, there was significant noise from nearby music venues that continued until around 3:00 a.m., making it difficult to sleep. This was not the hotel’s fault, and the staff did their best to help by changing our room, but unfortunately the noise remained an issue.

If you are a light sleeper, prefer quiet evenings, or are travelling with young children, I would recommend staying in a quieter area outside central Valletta.

Breakfast was good, although there were no hot breakfast options. It was still a pleasant start to the day.

Overall, The Barrister Hotel offers excellent service, a spotless environment, and an unbeatable location. The only downside was the nighttime noise that comes with staying in the centre of Valletta.

The Barrister is in a central location within a short walk of most of the bars, restaurants and sights of Valletta. It's not fully serviced but staff are available at all times. Rooms have tea and coffee making, water and soft drinks included. Breakfast has a good selection of fruit, cereals, cold meats and cheeses, bread and pastries, and drinks are prepared to order. There is a lift to all floors and it has a characterful interior with much charm. The only negative is the noise late into the evenings from an adjacent bar. The fact that the hotel provided complimentary ear plugs in the room indicates the level of the problem. My room shared the same street as the bar, other rooms on the other side of the hotel are probably quieter. If you are a light sleeper I'd suggest to confirm room location before booking.

Perfect location to enjoy Valetta and to use as a base to explore other parts of Malta, including just a 10-15 minute walk to the ferry point we used to go to Gozo.
The room was very clean and a comfortable bed. I would highlight the hotel proprieter Mark for his welcome and incredible local knowledge and willingness to make time for us in his busy schedle to help us make some local plans as it was our first visit to Malta. He even contacted a trusted Gozo based taxi and tour guide who met us upon our arrival at the island.
There is a wealth of nearby restaurants caterering for all tastes, including some roof top eating places with great views. Some people have left reviews relating to the late night noise, but honestly with the window shut and AC on, we didn't notice a thing and for me it just added to the friendly vibe and buzz that is Valetta.
A final shout out to Jason who is the local taxi and tour guide who sorted the airport run and spent a day with and was really friendly and crammed a lot in for us so that we didn't miss anything.

The room was fine although little natural light as we were looking out at a wall across a narrow street, although the details said ‘city view’.
The hotel management are very helpful about what to do and see.
From the pictures on the website we were expecting a roof terrace for hotel guests however the roof terraces are attached to 3 rooms on the top floor only. There is no bar in the hotel which is unusual.
The noise of the loud music coming from the bars around the corner into the early hours of the morning is awful, then the nearby construction work starts up before 7am. There seems little the hotel can do about this currently.

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.

Great location, lovely hotel, immaculately clean. Warm welcome, very friendly & helpful staff, manager Mark gave good advice for walking in the countryside. Room very spacious & comfortable. Good selection of items for breakfast. Would benefit from a bar, although there are plenty around. Major downside for me was the nightime noise from a neighbouring bar, it was SO LOUD and on Fri/Sat/Sun nights, this noise went on until 05:30-06:00 the next morning, from people singing, shouting & screaming. Not as noisy for as long, on weekdays, maybe the bar shut earlier than on the weekend. I sleep with silicone earplugs & music still too loud to sleep for me, husband coped a bit better as he would sleep on a washing line, during a firework display, though he was kept awake too at times. Local rules/street signs say noise to be kept down after 23:00 for the locals, but this is not enforced. Really enjoyed the break though, lots to see & do across Malta/Gozo/Comino, buses good but very busy. Fast ferries & gondolas good too. Everyone out & about very friendly, good range of restaurants to eat at, English widely spoken.

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.

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.

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.

The Barrister is an average townhouse conversion hotel, with all the attendant benefits and drawbacks. Some of the rooms are big, other tiny. Soundproofing works in parts of the building, in others it doesn't. Everything in central Valletta is within a few minute's walk, but it's also in close proximity of bars playing loud music late into the night. However, these are things you expect and accept - still, breakfast was done on the cheap, no questions about that.

Fantastic location and friendly staff

My wife and I stayed at the Barrister Hotel for a long weekend.

The rooms are very comfortable and the continental breakfast was good too.

The owner is very welcoming and is full of recommendations of things to do in Malta. Normally my wife does research into every country we visit and has a long list of things she wants to do. Instead, we got speaking to the owner on our first night and his recommendations helped us plan our entire trip. We went to some lovely places and had a great holiday.

The hotel is centrally located in Valletta and a perfect base

Truly exceptional.

On arrival we were allocated a very pleasant , rather small room, but the owner was anxious to upgrade us as we had booked a two week stay, and this he did rapidly. Without exception, the staff were lovely; professional, helpful, friendly and anxious to please. Mark, the owner, is a font of information, with a wealth of experience in this business.
This relatively small, but perfect boutique hotel, is conveniently situated close to the heart of Valletta, in one of the many historic minor streets of this beautiful compact city.
Our choice is to find a gem like this, infinitely preferable to a bustling meandering five star hotel spreading over acres.
Our advice to readers of this review: don't miss the opportunity to stay here and soak up the vibes of both the hotel and the city.

We booked this hotel after reading reviews on line, and were not disappointed. It's a fabulous hotel. Perfect location within easy walking distance of Valetta's attractions. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Mark was so knowledgeable and informative and nothing was too much trouble. He arranged a day trip to Gozo, which we would highly recommend. He also recommended restaurants and sights worth seeing. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Mark and colleagues for a truly memorable stay.
