King Charles Boutique

BEST LOCATION IN MALTA

The room was very nice and breakfast was good. The lady who served the breakfast was very helpful and hardworking. We really appreciated what she did. The very big drawback about this hotel is the terrible problem of the noise from the bar next door. I have never stayed in a hotel in which even with earplugs it was hard to sleep due to the relentless pounding of the bass from the bar's music system till very late into the night. Potential guests need to be warned about this.

Only some items were available from the menu every day. The music is loud- tv first page after you booked says there are some sound proof options- the music and karaoke sessions go on to at least 2 am- it’s fine if you come back after that or you can sleep with the music otherwise expect a less sleep night

Very, very noisy at night from bars below. Very very loud music till 2-30/3 am. Loud enough to make the windows shake!

The property was fine and close to the centre of Valletta. However, I would not recommend it for anyone but the young who enjoy noisy bars and loud music from 7pm to 2am. The vibrations shook the walls of my room and my expected relaxing holiday was anything but. I am home now, trying to catch up on the missed sleep.

Shops, pubs & restaurants are just outside the hotel. The only issue was the noise at night due to the music coming from the pub until late. Staff are nice. Very close to Upper Barrakka where the saluting battery was located, also the ferry to Gozo. All buses are accessible going to different places like Sliema, Malta Airport, St Julians etc are 5mins to walk from the hotel.

Great hotel, wonderful staff, amazing location. Only down side was the loud music

The room was located above a bar (oxygen bar) With very loud speakers thumping till 2am. We sent a text to the manager (i have a copy of it on my Expedia). They never responded! Expedia couldn't get a hold of anyone either. A asked the nice young lady working there if we could be at least moved to a higher room which she replied that they were booked. A solid terrible experience and sleepless nights. Just AWFUL.

Room was lovely with the hot tub as a bonus. Lovely friendly staff and a fantastic location.

Very helpful friendly staff. A wide choice for breakfast. Continental and British breakfasts. Wonderful balconies to be on.

I really enjoyed my 4 night stay here, beautiful room, great location, very helpful staff and a wonderful breakfast each day, I would certainly stay here again. Be aware that there is live music in the street outside every night from 9pm through till 12.30, which might not be to everyone's liking, especially if you like a early night.

We loved the hotel & the central location. It’s on a very busy street that’s full of restaurants and bars. There’s loud music that is muted by the doors and windows except Friday night when we could hear a little music, but it was fine. Every employee we had contact with was helpful & very polite. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Very modern boutique hotel, including checking in. Wonderful staff, clean modern in the heart of Valletta. Location was prime as you can journey out to where ever you want. Everything is only feet away

Impossible to find a better location. Very nice breakfast and very friendly staff.

While the hotel itself was clean, well located and the room comfortable enough there was a major problem with the sound coming up from the street below. The bar directly underneath had live music performers on each of the three nights we were there and the loud music did not subside until well after 1am. Even earplugs could not block out the sound. I now understand why it's an automated check in as they don't really want a receptionist on hand to handle all of the undoubted complaints. Not really recommended unless you're a total night owl.

All very clean and the breakfast was very good. Comfortable bed. The only downside was the Oxygen Lounge below us on the street that played very loud music and shouting aggressive voices well into and after 2 am. Otherwise a good location in Valletta.

The hotel is in a nicely rennovated old building in the centre of Valletta, situated on a narrow pedestrian side street (alley) not far from all the sights of the old city. If you're arriving with a lot of luggage, you will need to be prepared to walk about 500 metres up hill - and don't expect the taxi driver to have heard of the place, so check out the location very, very carefully before setting off - it's not clear on the directions, the street numbers are misleading, and the hotel is just a narrow doorway. There is no reception. Check-in is automated, but relatively self explanatory. The machine issues a plastic room key and says it will print out the wi-fi code, which it didn't on my visit. There were two occasions I had to call the reception number for assistance, both times they were responsive and solved my problems promptly (the room safe ran out of power with my possesions locked in it, and the fire alarms went off one afternoon). The rooms are clean, the bed comfy, and the aircon is excellent. The problem with the hotel is its location, directly above a bar/club. There was live music every evening until about 23:00 in the alley outside which was very noisy, then from 23:00 to 01:00 a DJ set/dance music inside the bar. You'll be unlikely to sleep through it depending on which side of the hotel and which floor your room is located. In summary, it's a nice hotel in the wrong location and I really should've done my research and stayed somewhere quieter.

there was a night club next door loud music till after 1:30 in the morning

Room is nicely appointed in the pedestrian zone near all tourist sites. Hotel is not manned. You check in with a vending machine. The main problem is the hotel is next to a nightclub that plays loud pulsating music from mid-afternoon to after 1;30 am. Room was vibrating and impossible to sleep. No staff to address this with

The hotel listing makes no mention of the fact that music is blaring on strait street until 1am every night. I was there for work so obviously this wasn’t a reason accommodation. Once I realized this I was proactive in reaching out to hotels.com to request an early check out and a hopeful refund - I received neither. I ended paying for 7 nights for this place of which I spent 1 sleepless night. The hotel and hotels.com refused to refund me a single penny which is outrageous. Avoid this hotel if you’re hoping to get to sleep before 1am or expect to receive decent customer service.
