Would I stay at The Barrister again?............. DEFINITELY! This small, but perfectly formed hotel was ideal for my four day stay in Valletta. Every member of staff were exceptional in their customer service, offering insider tips on where to go and see. The room was spotless and the continental style breakfast set us up for the days of sightseeing.

Central Valletta location. 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!).
