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!

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Wonderful experience in Malta.

Very happy about our stay at San Karlu Hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern with all amenities. The breakfast was outstanding and the employees were great. The hotel was centrally located surrounded by historic buildings and great restaurants.

The hotel was lovely, very clean room was perfect good size, loved the dressing gown with slippers, we had a safe and cooler fridge, staff very friendly, breakfast was great a good choice, if there was anything we needed staff were very helpful. Perfect location easy to get about, walking distance to the square restaurant and bars, shops… Definitely will recommend this place and if I was to go back to Malta I definitely would stay at the same place.

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.

8/10 Very good

Hôtel récemment rénové, situé dans un quartier calme de La Valette, tout en étant à quelques minutes des rues animées. Les chambres situées au rez-de-chaussée manquent de fenêtres et de lumière naturelle. La responsable de l’hôtel est attentive et à l’écoute des clients.

Hotels.Com gave me the wrong address for the Hotel

I enjoyed the hotel - when l got there ! Hotels.Com gave me the wrong address and l spent great deal of time dragging my luggage all over the pedestrian centre of Valletta trying to find it.

The hotel staff were really kind and accommodating to all our requests. Hotel itself is very pretty and clean.
Humna, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Me and my girlfriend visited Malta for the first time over half-term and stayed at the San Karlu for three nights. The hotel was lovely, with nice rooms and a delicious breakfast. The pool was also lovely to visit, with the rooftop bar a bonus! The only feedback we'd give is that the pool could do with being heated, especially for when the sun goes down, and also the railings around the pool could do with glass or perspex layer to block out the wind - it can get a little chilly on the roof! Otherwise a lovely stay and we'll be back again!
