Nice hotel but be careful with your room choice
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.

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

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 !
Florianne, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Isabel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice and cozy hotel with an upscale feel. We received a free room upgrade. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable. Breakfast was nice although the dining room was a bit cramped. There's a rooftop pool that's unfortunately not open until noon, so we didn't get to use it as we only stayed one night. However, we were allowed to store our luggage after checking out and would've been allowed to use the pool area along with a shower, which was really appreciated. Great stay, would definitely consider again!
Anton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a new hotel (no signs on the building yet) which is modern and very clean. Lovely bathroom. The hotel is very quiet but located approx 5 mins walk from the centre of town and easily walkable to all places of interest. Breakfast is good but a little chaotic as the food area (self service) is about the size of a small galley kitchen and can’t accommodate more than three people. The only real downside - probably the hardest and most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Otherwise, it’s ideal for a short break.
Sara Vivienne, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely little hotel in a quiet part of Valetta: the central area with bars and restaurants is about 10 minutes walk away and it's all up hill! But don't let that put you off, as there are lots of hills in Valetta. The hotel itself is great. The staff were unfailingly helpful and courteous, everyone spoke English and the service was of international standard. The hotel doesn't have a functioning restaurant or bar but it serves a nice breakfast with both Continental and English breakfast options. There's a small but welcome plunge pool on the roof, with sunbeds and a hatch servery offering drinks and snacks during the day - but there's plenty of bars and eating places up the hill, so its not a problem. The decor is modern and the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. Also, the hotel arranged airport transfers for us, which was one thing less to worry about.We were made to feel very welcome and had a very enjoyable stay.

Not recommended
Not recommended. We booked classic double room which was advertised with courtyyardview but in fact the room has no window. So there was no daylight during all day. We asked at the reception and there is only one classic room in the entire hotel that has a normal window (and when you book any classic rooms, that’s the pic they show on the website - which is basically not true). Also, the offer said that it’s sound proof, but you can hear noise from the rooms around which disturbed sleeping- f.e. you can hear your neighbour flushing the water in the toilet in the middle of the night (in 4 star hotel ;)) What’s more the room had a very low celling and was hot inside, so overall it looked like a cellar. There is no mobile connection inside the room, but luckily wifi works. A bit poor breakfast with even no vegetables. The location of the hotel is good but not perfect, it is situated in the corner minutes away from main streets of Valetta. Hotel is really brand new and has a nice terrace at the roof, but definitely for this price is better to find another one unless somebody does not mind relaxing in a cellar without sunlight all day.
