Learn more about Valletta

Baroque splendour unfolds throughout Europe's sunniest capital, with honey-colored limestone buildings concealing treasures behind ornate facades. The Grand Harbour offers spectacular views from traditional dghajsa boats gliding past ancient fortifications. St. John's Co-Cathedral's austere exterior belies its interior Caravaggio masterpieces and knights' tombstone floors. Upper Barrakka Gardens provide the perfect spot to witness the noon cannon salute. Strait Street, formerly a sailors' haunt, now thrives with trendy cafés. Fort St. Elmo houses the War Museum, while the Grandmaster's Palace displays opulent state rooms. For authentic pastizzi, follow government workers at breakfast time instead of tourists.

"San Karlu is an excellent hotel. The location is perfect and Republic Street is just a few minutes away. The hotel is located off a road down a wide alley so you can get a taxi to very close to the hotel and the street is very safe and well lit at night. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotless when we checked in and cleaned thoroughly every day. The room we had looked over the courtyard/alley below. Breakfast was good quality. The best feature of the hotel was the rooftop pool. We were there in September and it was very hot, so the pool was wonderful and appeared new (also very clean and well maintained). It really made the hotel worth the five stars."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more affordable option for your stay in a Valletta hotel. For those in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems elevated, we may suggest alternative dates that could offer more favourable rates.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Valletta's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
