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

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!

Hotel was clean and well located in a quiet location only a short walk to the busy centre of Valletta. Also Gendus bus stop (for the Airport bus) was less than 5 minutes walk away.
Breakfast was very good, although space was very small so best to go at quieter times.
However, a word of caution when booking a courtyard view room. Our room was incredibly dark with a tiny window in the corner which let in almost no natural light at all; this make the room cavernous. Also, the hotel do not turn the A/C on in March so the room was incredibly hot and stuffy with no way to make it comfortable which caused bad quality of sleep.
Whilst the hotel was in a good condition and location with a good breakfast, I would recommend not booking a courtyard view room if you stay here.

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 !
