King Charles

This place must be the worst choice in Malta. It all starts when you have to check in at a shady machine in the unmanned reception. I've used self check-in before where it works just fine, but this monstrosity of a machine is an unrelenting interrogator that demands all your information manually. Information you already entered when you booked the hotel. When you're finally done, you only get one key card per room. But that's not even the worst part of this place: The noise from the Oxygen Bar located directly below the hotel is absolutely outrageous. It feels like your bed is placed right on the dance floor. You can be absolutely sure that you won’t get any sleep at this hotel.

Great hotel Ideally situated in the middle of Valetta for sightseeing,restaurants and bars Spotlessly clean. Great selection for breakfast and great service Friendly welcome at check in time

Great hotel. Great staff. Great breakfast. Great country. One tiny moan. A little noisy from the bar underneath until midnight.

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

The King Charles Hotel would be a very good hotel for almost every reason except the utterly terrible noise environment. The staff are friendly and attentive when available, although that is only a short period in the morning during the cleaning/breakfast period. Otherwise it's self-check in which worked very well and a mobile number for any issues. Not a problem for us on this trip but if there were a need for reception support it isn't readily available. The breakfast is quite good with many options both hot and cold. To rooms are well presented and generally it is a visually nice hotel. However, and this is a highly significant issue, the hotel is on the busiest and loudest street in Valletta and situated exactly above the very loudest bar on that street. Every afternoon there is a happy hour that begins with loud music and continues on until the early hours. The bass reverberates through the building and you can hear every word of every song. We had to use earplugs and noise cancelling headphones to be able to get to sleep at any point before the early hours, and that wasn't always possible. This is not somewhere you can return to and relax after a long day sightseeing and frankly makes any stay unpleasant. It is a real shame because this is a decent hotel right in the heart of Valletta, but unless you're going to be one of the merrymakers enjoying the party until the early hours it's one to avoid like the plague. Under no circumstances would I stay here again.
