San Karlu Hotel

highly reccommend this hotel, everything is in walking distance and its away from the busy valletta nightlife! lovely room and great breakfast

The breakfast

The staff were all very nice. Breakfast was tasty with a good coffee machine. The pool was out of service but offered the use of a pool at another property. A little inconvenient but nice that they had that available. The only issue I had was the temperature of the room in the evenings. If I left the window cracked open. The sounds of others doors opening and closing could be loud even with the exhaust fan in the bathroom left running. With the window closed it didn’t seem like the air conditioning did much even when set to 18 C

Great hotel in perfect location! Super friendly staff as well

Ok

Overall I would say the hotel was good. The room size was medium. A bit tight to spread the suitcases. There was a small table with a chair. It can be used to as a dressing table bit too small for two people to sit and eat. There was a wardrobe with a safe. A small refrigerator, kettle, tea, coffee etc.a tv. Iron wand iron table was provided on request. A complementary jug of water was provided every day. Room had a very small window. The room we booked was meant to have a city view but didn’t. When enquired why we weren’t given the advertised/ booked room we were told a room with city view doesn’t exist. The entrance of the hotel was accessed after going down a stretch of stairs , with heavy suitcases in can be an issue. While Ordering food the delivery people were not able to easily locate the entrance. The bathroom was stunning and the fixtures were of high quality. The mirror was lovely. They provided handwash, body wash and shampoo/ conditioner was combined, there were bathrobes and slippers. The AC was centralized which we couldn’t control so had to ask for a fan as it was too hot in the hotel in March even though the highest temperature outside was 16 degree celcius. Food was very tasty. Variety was limited but the taste of the food compensated for it. Staff were very helpful. The only downside for us was the location of the hotel , the streets were narrow and too steep.

Great hotel in a quiet part of Valletta, good location. Excellent breakfast

Really liked our stay. Staff were all super friendly and lovely - from the front desk to the restaurant. Very helpful with recommendations. Room was cleaned very well each day. Location was good - very walkable to everything in Valletta. Manager was super helpful too and kindly moved us to a larger room when it became available.

Great communication pre-stay! Fantastic staff throughout the hotel. Friendly and helpful 24 hour reception, wonderful greetings and always making sure everything was making your holiday pleasant. Every area was sparkling clean and the rooms were superb. The free morning breakfast buffet was a great way to start your day, fresh sliced fruits, local pastries, hot breakfast as well. Thank you all for making our stay in Valletta extra special.

There is no air conditioning in the bedrooms. The hotel states it has air conditioning and a swimming pool, neither was true. The hotel was set on heating mode during the entirety of the stay and the rooms were far too hot as a result. The hotel staff offered a fan for the room. The swimming pool was not open during the entire stay. Nice location and a decent breakfast on offer.

Room was clean and staff were great

Perfect location, central but quiet. Lovely staff, breakfast, rooftop pool bar and room!

Loved everything about this hotel: great staff, interesting layout and rooms, super quiet location, dramatic rooftop deck and we really appreciated the assistance of Patricia on the desk! We had a sudden need for a hotel for two nights and couldn’t be happier we found this one.

Clean environment and hostesses were welcoming and kind.

Lovely staff, quiet clean rooms, would stay again 😀

Clean, courteous and excellent breakfast

Fantastic small hotel, away from the crowds but well within easy reach of everything Valetta has to offer. Rooms were modern, well appointed, spotless with 5* amenities. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good/just what was needed. We had a studio with balcony and hot tub...but the room was small and certainly not a studio. My parents double room was probably more spacious. This is why I have only given 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Careful if you use the car service for pickup...we were late to request this and the car that collected us must have been the oldest, dirtiest car Valetta had to offer! BOLT/UBER is easy and a safer and more reasonably priced bet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the San Karlu Hotel. The building itself was in a fantastic location, easily accessible to sights and restaurants, and moreover characterful and kept spotlessly clean. Well appointed room and the breakfast was outstanding. Last but not least, all the team of staff were friendly and welcoming - thank you! We hope to return!

Very central to valletta for shoping, histotrical sites and going on excursions was very convenient. Really suited me a lone traveller. Stayed 4 nights but wish I could be there longer.
