Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated within the walls of Mdina, offering a captivating blend of antique and contemporary vibes. The rooms are exceptional, providing a multi-level layout with internal stairs and a beautiful view. While the ongoing renovation was a slight inconvenience, it didn't diminish the overall charm of the hotel.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooftop restaurant is a fantastic spot with clean, spacious rooms and a very comfortable bed. The jacuzzi was a great addition to the room, making the experience even more relaxing. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist, even during unexpected situations. The location is a perfect blend of antique and contemporary, close to friends' residences and within the historic walls of Mdina. Dining options were good, especially the alfresco area, but could offer more variety for vegetarians. Overall, a delightful experience with a few minor dining suggestions to enhance the stay.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while not particularly well furnished, were spacious and had very good air conditioning, which was a relief after a day in the sun. The view of the interior patio was charming, but the ringing bell could be a bit loud at times.
The hotel surprised me in many ways. The rooms, despite the unexpected smell of mold, offered stunning views and were elegantly prepared for a surprise proposal. However, the air conditioning was a bit too damp, making it challenging to adjust the temperature.
The hotel offers very clean and reasonably spacious rooms with fine embossed linen and soft pillows, providing a comfortable stay, especially during breakfast. However, the room temperature was a bit hot for our liking. The service was outstanding, with staff being helpful and friendly, offering recommendations for dining and local attractions. The location is simply amazing, allowing easy exploration of the old city, although adjustments may be needed for larger guests. The dining experience was good overall, with extensive options and a great view, but some service aspects were lacking. The facilities were well-maintained, enhancing the overall guest experience.
Although the room fell short of expectations in terms of heat and ambiance, it was nicely presented with quality amenities. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the stay. The location offered a unique atmosphere and convenient access to nearby attractions. The dining experience, while satisfactory, did not fully justify the price. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout features and some room for improvement.
