Fabulous hotel with most beautiful decor and general vibe in a wonderful historic location. The lounge area of our suite was one of the loveliest we have ever experienced with the perfect combination of luxury, comfort and space. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Truly a 5-star experience

This first class hotel embedded inside the city walls of Mdina made us feel like nobility both from a historical aspect and by the level of service we received. Truly one of a kind!

The property is lovely, it is a beautiful old building with high ceilings and lots of character. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were two main areas that have impacted our rating of the hotel. The first is the arrangements for using the pool at the owners other venue, Xara Lodge. The pool is not always available as the venue is used for events such as weddings and therefore was closed on two full days and closed early on another two days during our stay and we also had to request to be driven to and from the pool which felt a bit uncomfortable. Therefore I would suggest this is not the hotel for you if you like to have access to a pool. We also found the breakfast arrangements chaotic and frustrating. There are the options of a continental breakfast or cooked breakfast, and all food has to be ordered through table service. We found staff often got our order wrong or that we had to be very specific about the exact items we wanted or we were served toast without butter etc and there were inconsistencies day to day in how things worked. Also the cooked breakfast menu charges per item but there were no prices for the drinks and this turned out to be very expensive for what we were served.

The bathroom was on the ground floor and bedroom up a lot of stairs. This was not mentioned in the description when I booked. I had to pay extra 170 Euro per night to have the both on one floor. Cannot recommend this hotel to anyone for this inconvenience. I have an issue with going up and down stairs so this was a problem for me as I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Otherwise, great hotel, friendly and informative staff.

Old character filled hotel in an excellent location within the walls of Mdina. The staff are friendly and helpful. Michelin 1 star De Mondion restaurant is a huge bonus. As expected the food is delicious and the staff are well trained in fine dining. Unexpected, the extra little tasting dishes sent out by the kitchen and a wonderful surprise birthday desert plate and card signed by the staff. Wonderful hotel and fantastic restaurant.

The Xara in Mdina is a great place. Mdina in itself is absolutely worth a travel and being able to stay within the walls of Mdina over night is an opportunity not to be missed. The rooms of Xara a spacious, clean and comfortable. The service is great and multilingual. We will definitely come back.

This is a beautiful property in a historic building. Unique rooms. Pleasant and welcoming staff. Great location to visit Mdina and Rabat. Staying overnight affords you the ability to explore these two small cities when the day trippers are gone. The only significant issue is parking - it is very difficult to find parking after 10 AM until about 3PM.
