The receptionist summed it up ‘the bars below are mad and very loud music until 3/4 am’!
Pros:

It was close to restaurants etc

Cons:

Noise levels at night. Shower was not a shower it was the mixer taps on a bath. And only enough water to do one bath at any given time.

Nettes Altstadt-Hotel für einen Wochenend-Städtetrip
Pros:

- Perfekte Lage für einen Städtetrip
- Historisches, schön renoviertes Gebäude
- Ausnahmslos überaus freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal
- Gutes Frühstück, mit ausreichend Auswahl
- So viel Wasserflaschen wie benötigt inbegriffen
- Typischer Valletta-Erker-Balkon
- Fenster und Balkontüren schließen schalldicht (leider notwendig)

Cons:

- Direkt um die Ecke der "Bar-Gasse" Strait Street" - dort herscht tolle Atmosphäre und Stimmung mit lauter Musik (jedoch kein "Ballermann-Flair") - dadurch ist ein Schlafen bei offenem Fenster aber absolut unmöglich (Ohropax schon im Zimmer angeboten...). Fenster und Balkontüre schließen aber schalldicht.
- Badezimmer sehr spartanisch, klein, keine Steckdose, bescheidenes Licht

Séjour agréable sauf le soir où il y a cette musique (bar en bas de l’hotel) qui devient pénible et cela jusqu’à 2h du
Pros:

L’emplacement, le personnel et le propriétaire qui vous donne gentiment des conseils.

Cons:

Juste en bas de l’hôtel, il y a un bar qui le soir, mets la musique à fond…difficile de dormir même avec les Boules Quies que l’hôtel fournit. Nous avons pu changer de
chambre, le bruit était moins fort mais nous étions malheureusement obligés de mettre quand même les Boules Quies.

Malte vaut le détour
Pros:

Les équipements, la chambre et les petits déjeuners

Cons:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel
Emplacement Très bien au coeur de la vieille ville mais environnement très bruyant
Les bars à proximité diffusent de la musique très forte en pleine rue et encouragent les clients à chanter et ce jusqu'à 2,3h du matin tous les jours (voyage début mai)

Pros:

Great breakfast with eggs, yogurt, cheese, meat, fresh fruits, baked goods, specialty coffee. The location is excellent, just steps away from the main touristic streets and sites, but tucked away on a quiet street across from a monastery with a secret garden. I liked that you could reach the sea promenade in a few minutes, for example a great sunset watching spot is nearby at the back of the St. Paul's Cathedral. The bed was very comfortable, the windows were quite good at soundproofing the occasional noise from the bar nearby. The side street has many restaurant and bars, I particularly enjoyed the Japanese restaurant on the corner.

Cons:

This is something the property cannot control, but the bar on one side of the building, which is one of many bars on that side street, plays loud music until late at night. The soundproofing of the windows works quite well, and with a pair of earplugs I didn't have any issues. The property does provide earplugs, but you can bring you own to ensure perfect comfort.

Excellent choice for your stay at the heart of Valletta
Pros:

The Barrister is located conveniently in the heart of Valletta, close to all attractions. The staff was great and accommodating at all times, breakfast was lovely (avocados, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, sweet pastries, cereals, fruit, etc.) and sufficient for easy start of the day. We were provided with various hotel amenities, with even bath robes available upon request. All in all, excellent choice and great value.

Cons:

The air condition is set to 23°C and cannot be increased. We stayed in April so the room temperature was on the colder side. In any case this wasn’t a big problem for us.

η διαμονή ήταν ωραία και απόλαυσα την Μαλτα παρόλο που ο χρόνος μου ηταν περιορισμένος λόγω δουλειάς
Pros:

η τοποθεσία ήταν εξαιρετική, μέσα στην Βαλέτα, κοντά σε όλα τα αξιοθέατα.
στο ξενοδοχείο διέθεταν μέσα στο δωμάτιο, σνακς, νερό και αναψυκτικά και μπορούσες να πιείς καφέ και τσαι που ήταν πολύ βολικό αυτό, και γενικά εκτίμησα ότι κάθε μέρα φρόντιζαν να ανανεώνουν το στοκ. Το δωμάτιο ήταν ανακαινισμένο και το μπάνιο πολύ καθαρό και εξοπλισμένο. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και μου παρείχαν και έναν apaptor για να φορτίσω το κινητό μου γιατί δεν είχα.

Cons:

το προσωπικό ήταν εξυπηρετικό, το πρωινό ήταν καλό, αλλά όχι εξαιρετικό, θα μπορούσε να έχει περισσότερο ποικιλία μαγειρευμένων φαγητών όπως ομελέτα, αυγά τηγανιτά κλπ. το δωμάτιο είναι μικρό και σχετικά σκοτεινό, αφού βλέπει μπροστά σε ένα στενό δρομάκι. Θεωρώ ότι το ξενοδοχείο είναι ακριβό για αυτά που προσφέρει
