Chaleureux et professionnel accueil !
Excellente rapport qualité !
18.04.2025
Perfection, personified. History and excellence combined. Incredible surroundings, stunning interiors and view, together with exquisite customer service - all the little details are always covered.

Be sure to try Chef Clint’s Michelin starred cuisine in The De Mondion restaurant - incredible!
18.04.2025
The staff was excellent and very welcoming. We liked all the history that we learned about the area with activities that were available to us to do so. The Xara Palace is nice but not as spectacular as what we see all over Malta. I think a bit of a revamping could be useful. All in all a very good place to stay.
21.03.2025
Wonderful place, extraordinary service, delicious breakfast and the dinner in the The Mondion Restaurant was outstanding.

A very typical Roland Chateaux Hotel, located in the ancient city of Mdina. The whole building has a history of 300 years. It took a lot of thought to renovate and design it, and collected a lot of art works. The whole hotel is antique and full of artistic atmosphere.
There are only 18 rooms in total, and each one is different. We chose a duplex suite, which is a bit inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, but fortunately the bathroom and bed are on the first floor. It can be said that this is an excellent choice for in-depth experience of the affluent life in ancient times.
Because it is in the ancient city, it is very convenient to visit. When you are tired, you can go back to the hotel to rest, which is very convenient.
The breakfast variety is very rich and the quality is excellent. It is a meal ordering system, but it is all free. There are also paid items, which is unnecessary. We chose to dine outdoors, which feels very good. The drinks in the mini bar in the room are free and replenished very promptly.
The rooftop restaurant is said to be a Michelin. On the first day of check-in, the front desk asked if I needed to book dinner. It is said to be very popular, but I didn't have time to try it.
The service staff is very enthusiastic and considerate, and they are responsive.
In short, it is a very good and high-quality hotel.
14.12.2024
The best hotel in Malta. One of the best in the world. Exceptional in every way.
10.11.2024
Let me summarize my experience:

Negatives: The price doesn’t match the quality. I’ve stayed in many “high-end” places, and this is by far the worst. The rooms are outdated and lack intuitive design. I ordered room service, and it was terrible.

Positives: The location is excellent, the property is beautiful, and the views are amazing.

Overall: I would say it’s not worth the price, and there are probably better options available at a much better rate.
24.10.2024
The location is top notch. Guests get absolute VIP treatment. The breakfast is first class and very varied. The restaurant The De Mondion was terrific. Thank you very much for the delicious food.
05.08.2024
The hotel and location is beautiful ! Truly special place and that you have a pool near by is a bonus as well ! The room has all we needed and more , decor attention to detail beautiful. The view of all island from the terrace beautiful, all facilities lovely

However few things could be improved…
Drinks offered on arrival never came ..
We popped for an upgrade with jacuzzi .. not worth it, as jacuzzi was like a chlorine bath ( not very inviting) or very attractive to use , honestly …
The bedroom next to restaurant , even if it’s Michelin star .. but noise from loud guests can be disturbing..

Otherwise it’s a unique property and must visit at least once !

Almost perfect

My wife and I stayed for three nights this summer. This small hotel (just eighteen rooms), set in an old palace within the city walls of Mdina, is incredibly beautiful, the views from the rooms (pick one with a panoramic view, and don’t choose duplex if you can’t manage stairs) are superb, and the staff are wonderfully helpful and attentive.
The only disappointment for me was that after all the reviews, I was looking forward to treating my wife to a birthday meal at the hotel’s Michelin starred restaurant, but when we arrived, we learned this restaurant was fully booked for and indeed beyond our stay. The helpful staff booked us into local restaurants as an alternative, but it was naturally not quite the same.
Unless the hotel starts emailing people upon booking asking if they want to make reservations for their best restaurant (I imagine most guests will want them), I suggest you make your booking for this restaurant when you book your room. We will next time, and we will definitely be back.
Other than that, a quite wonderful stay, and I would like to thank all the staff and management for making it so. Highly recommended.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
