Outstanding in every way! 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. I give the Barrister 11 out of 10!

Excellent location and wonderful people

What a superb hotel, in the best possible location and with a wonderful host and staff. They were very helpful and could not do enough to provide advice, hints and tips to make our stay very enjoyable.
7-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel and staff OK. Underwhelming breakfast options (probably because this is a small hotel). Very noisy from adjacent streets until early hours of the morning due to the number of bars playing very loud music. Impossible to sleep.
Frances Patricia, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A real find, can't fault it. Already recommending to friends.
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff were extremely friendly and gave good advice on places to see, how to get there etc. The hotel itself was clean, confortable and provided a nice fresh continental breakfast. The room was spacious, cool (good, quiet aircon) with comfy beds
Mike, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have just spent an amazing 5 nights here and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The rooms were spotless, the breakfast was lovely, and every member of staff went above and beyond. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are hoping to go back later in the year. Thank you to Marc and his amazing team for making our stay so lovely
Lisa, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Relaxing stay in a well located hotel

We had such a warm welcome to the hotel and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. The hotel is off the main streets so nice and quiet at nighttime but only a very short walk to bars and restaurants.
Laura, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Owner Mark is a of information on where and how to go to places of interest in Malta. The hotel’s location is perfect as it is just off the busy tourist area so you can have a good night sleep . Continental Breakfast is simple and fulfilling.
Tian Shee, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is perfect for all the sites in Valletta. Hotel is small and delightful. Mark, Emma and the entire team go out of their way to help you enjoy your time in Malta. Bravo!
