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!). ##### Susan Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall, exceeded expectations. It’s perfect for both short and longer stays in Malta, offering the comfort of a luxury with the convenience of being in the city center. Highly recommended! ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosalind Jan 4, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Rosalind Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lorene Nov 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Lorene Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel and lovely people very helpful. ##### Ruth Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soeren Sep 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful & perfectly located hotel with a highly knowledgable and helpful owner, Mark! ##### Soeren Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Oct 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay.

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. ![Welcoming facade of the hotel in the evening](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ffc6e71-2e62-4b1c-83ff-f90b748fb2a6-1748877490151.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrew Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will Sep 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel with a small amount of rooms, maybe around 20\.

The room was very well appointed, bed was comfortable, and service was spot-on! Breakfast was fresh and tasty. The manager was like a casual concierge, providing ideas and information to make our trip even better.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Julia Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Oct 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Claudia Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Sliema-Hotels-1926-Hotel-SPA.h21308320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hacienda Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Sliema-Hotels-Hacienda-Apartments.h21412896.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cremona](https://www.expedia.ca/Cremona-Hotels.d6358968.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pebbles Boutique Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sliema-Hotels-Pebbles-Boutique-Aparthotel.h4724120.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Japan](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Japan.d89.Hotel-Destinations) > > [San Fransisco Studios Valletta](https://www.expedia.ca/Floriana-Hotels-San-Fransisco-Studios-Valletta.h102364119.Hotel-Information) > > [Your Apartment Malta](https://www.expedia.ca/Floriana-Hotels-Your-Apartment-Malta.h37631044.Hotel-Information) > > [De Rohan B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Zebbug-Hotels-De-Rohan-BB.h15393692.Hotel-Information) > > [Granny's Inn - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sliema-Hotels-Grannys-Inn-Hostel.h18231314.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostel Malti](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Julians-Hotels-Hostel-Malti.h5081270.Hotel-Information) > > [Quaint Boutique Hotel Nadur](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadur-Hotels-Quaint-Boutique-Hotel-Nadur.h11117319.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Spa Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Mellieha-Hotels-LABRANDA-Riviera-Hotel-Spa.h986091.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning Apt Sea Views in Tigne Point, With Pool](https://www.expedia.ca/Sliema-Hotels-Stunning-Apt-Sea-Views-In-Tigne-Point.h35625143.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [115 The Strand Hotel by NEU Collective](https://www.expedia.ca/Gzira-Hotels-115-The-Strand-Hotel-By-NEU-Collective.h1641882.Hotel-Information) > > [Ta'patee Pool Farmhouse in Gozo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Lawrenz-Hotels-Tapatee-Pool-Farmhouse-In-Gozo.h101153692.Hotel-Information) > > [D Golden Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Xaghra-Hotels-D-Golden-Valley.h28944526.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Calcite Springs Overlook](https://www.expedia.ca/Calcite-Springs-Overlook-Hotels.0-l553248635919603112-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [BOCO Boutique](https://www.expedia.ca/Cospicua-Hotels-BOCO-Boutique.h36841836.Hotel-Information) > > [Mister Econom Hotel - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lviv-Hotels-Mister-Hostel.h36989674.Hotel-Information) > > [Floriana apartment, wifi, historic center, capital Valletta. ](https://www.expedia.ca/Floriana-Hotels-Floriana-Apartment.h23276148.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Milton](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Motels.d55368-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Geneva](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Geneva.d180003.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [All inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
