I loved my stay! The only downsides were that late check out wasn’t available and there’s a club next door so the music can get pretty loud at night. Other than that everything was perfect and I would definitely recommend it. (One thing to keep in mind there’s currently construction in the area so Uber and Bolt can’t always drop you off directly in front of the property. If you’re traveling with heavy or multiple bags you may have a short walk.

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.
