Breakfast was good, liked the roof top, not much light in rooms though lovely, just a little humid even with AC, great location
Joan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Breakfast has a good choice from cooked to pastries & fruits. The room was clean with good storage space. The city of Valletta is very walkable so you are never more than 5-10 minutes walk from a restaurant or bar etc.

Happy with our stay.

Nicely tucked away in very nice area of Valletta, close to all main sites. No noise at night. Friendly cats outside too. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast with lots of pastry options in particular. Rooftop pool a bonus. Would have been nice to have more natural light coming into the room but understandable depending on which room you are assigned.
JOHN, 4-night trip

Everything about our stay was perfect. The hotel interior is gorgeous. The staff are very attentive and welcoming. The pool was perfect and always quiet. The breakfast selection was great. There was nothing even remotely negative about the whole trip. We hope to stay again one day!

Excellent Facilities very clean and modern the roof top pool was a much needed after a long day walking. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only slight would be cramped at breakfast if busy around peak times and the rooms lack natural light but that didnt bother us and was great for sleeping.

Amazing location, breath service

I had an amazing stay at San Karlu! The location is perfect—just a short walk (less than 10 minutes) from the main bus stop and close to bars, restaurants, and the main square of Veleta. The staff were incredibly friendly, and I especially want to thank Florianne, who was so helpful with recommendations and guidance on using public transport. The hotel itself is spotless and offers great amenities. The swimming pool was a highlight—perfect for cooling off in Malta’s heat—and there’s a bar and food service if you feel like lounging by the pool all day. Breakfast was lovely, and overall, the experience exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!

Your review has a great tone and conveys a positive experience! Here's a slightly polished version Had a great stay and would love to return. The hotel was clean and in a quiet location, yet just a short walk from the main streets of Valletta. Excellent breakfast selection and friendly, helpful staff. We especially loved the rooftop pool and pool bar – perfect for enjoying an Aperol Spritz!

Perfect base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. Situated in a quiet street, no noise at night and only a few minutes walk from the centre. Great variety of breakfast options, all yummy. Very clean and modern hotel, staff always friendly and working hard. Pool area is a bonus, lovely place to cool off after sight seeing. Good cocktails at the pool bar! Would highly recommend if visiting Valetta.
