Lovely hotel in the centre of Valletta, but away from all the hustle and bustle.
Hayley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent Facilities very clean and modern the roof top pool was a much needed after a long day walking. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only slight would be cramped at breakfast if busy around peak times and the rooms lack natural light but that didnt bother us and was great for sleeping.
Shaun, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. Situated in a quiet street, no noise at night and only a few minutes walk from the centre. Great variety of breakfast options, all yummy. Very clean and modern hotel, staff always friendly and working hard. Pool area is a bonus, lovely place to cool off after sight seeing. Good cocktails at the pool bar! Would highly recommend if visiting Valetta.

Nice central hotel with pool

Great hotel in central location. Lovely rooftop pool. Nice buffet breakfast. Rooms needed air con to be turned on (we asked as it was stuffy but were tokd they didn’t have it on in April)

Nice cosy place away from noise but near main area

It's a lovely cosy hotel near the main attractions of Valletta yet quiet enough. The convenience store and pizza place Sally port is near enough to grab quick bites and groceries on rainy day. The reception staffs are nice and friendly and willing to help (water bottle refills and guide tips on getting around). The breakfast staff manager in suit was helpful and attentive. Housekeeping staffs were clean and prompt. Will recommend this for stay in Valletta
Hui Leng, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, it was a great stay. However, the area within a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel felt a bit quiet and secluded, with quite a few vacant houses around. It’s worth being a little cautious when coming and going.

Hotels.Com gave me the wrong address for the Hotel

I enjoyed the hotel - when l got there ! Hotels.Com gave me the wrong address and l spent great deal of time dragging my luggage all over the pedestrian centre of Valletta trying to find it.
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay and had the room with the hot tub. This was great as it was too cold for a swim. Room is large and comfy bed slight smell from drain in bathroom so left the extractor fan on. Breakfast was great with large selection and staff very attentive. Great location in Valletta as quiet but easy to get to centre.
Dawn, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is very nice and great accommodating staff. The breakfast was good quality and plentiful. Our stay in April would not allow the cooling to work as the whole system is set to heating until it becomes “cooling season” not sure what that is but our first room was 25 degrees and didn’t get below 23 even with the window fully open
Clayton, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We checked in and were given a room early but it was in an inner courtyard and it was a bit claustrophobic. So, we asked for another room and went out for lunch. We came back and the hotel gave us the best room in the hotel with a large outside patio with the only jacuzzi tub in the hotel. After a long day of walking around Valletta it was nice to soak our tired bodies in the hot tub. We spent an enjoyable 3 nights at the hotel!

A week in La Valletta

Outstanding staff!! All very attentive to our needs would it be for the breakfast, providing directions or advice. Breakfast was very good and they even offered a bag when we departed early at check out. Superb location; close to many restaurants and amenities and historical places. Be aware that the AC or heat is centrally controlled and if you book a room with a garden view, there is limited air circulation so the room might be a bit humid. Aside from that, immaculate room and staff. We recommend!

The hotel is incredibly clean and private. Tucked away but conveniently nearby to bars and restaurants, although a bit steep. It is a boutique hotel so small but lovely facilities with very helpful staff. We would definitely return

The hotel is brand new and very comfortable. The location is also very good, very central but still quiet. The personal is very attentive and always available to support in making the experience the best possible. I would definitely recommend it!

To recommend 😌

Amazing stay at san Karlu with dedicated staff very careful for guests and easily reachable by WhatsApp during the stay. They prepare the room for my father's birthday and were helpful for any request. Improvement shall be done to maintain a good level of cleaning for long stays, not changing systematically the plates at breakfast would lower the washing volume. Furthermore staff needs to be more informed about the touristic activities to better guide the clients. Pretty well located the hotel offers all commodities and is quiet !
