An oasis of calm inside the Mdina city walls with a nice restaurant next door. Room with own terrace was a really nice treat and enjoyed a hot tub afternoon. Views fantastic and breakfast the follow day pleasant on the terrace (breakfast included - just extra for hot breakfast like English or eggs Benedict)

Stayed in room 7 which was split level and gorgeous - would have happily stayed longer although to note rooms 5, 6 & 7 are under the breakfast terrace/indoor seating area and for about 2 hours 9.30pm -
11:30pm there was a lot of banging and scraping on the floor…. Do not know what was being done for such a sustained duration and it did spoil the evening a little. Also too 7 terrace gets glorious sun in the morning / early afternoon but then is completely
Shaded so depends on your preference for sun time (loungers and brolly provided)

Everything was great! My only feedback was getting there if you have a car.

Far From 5 Star

When we arrived, we were asked to wait in the lobby and were brought a drink. We weren’t sure what caused the delay as we arrive nearly an hour after check in. Once ready to go to the room, there was no bellhop to assist with our luggage and were shown the original room we booked. We were told by reception that there was a room with a balcony and jacuzzi available for a paid upgrade. We asked to look at it because there was a smell in the original room. We decided to pay for the upgrade, but truly wish we had not and just moved hotels.

We were in a Deluxe Suite with jacuzzi, but had to deal with small bugs in the bathroom (pictured) and pigeon feces all over the top balcony. The mattress is quite dated and had a large indentation in it from so many guests sleeping there. The tiles on the rooftop balcony were not secured and were wobbly.

On our 2nd night, the wardrobe light stopped working and that’s when we discovered that it was a magnetic rechargeable strip light. We attempted to go to breakfast twice during our stay, yet we were unable to find anyone in the restaurant on both instances.

Ultimately, with the bugs, fences and lack of service, we felt that this was far from a 5-star hotel. We had moved from another 5-star hotel in Valletta, which was impeccable. During our stay there, we were going out and about and were not arriving back at the hotel until 18:00-19:00. Had we actually been exploring around Mdina, we certainly would have moved hotels.

The pool (5mins drive) is extremely relaxing, wonderful service from Noor and Izor who drove us there each day. Would recommend a drink on the terrace if possible, the champagne trolley is fantastic.

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 Xara Palace Hotel is an absolute understated gem of a hotel … not least for its unique location inside the ancient and compact walled city of Mdina. There only are 18 superbly appointed rooms: ours was a spacious duplex with separate bath, shower and bedroom on the ground floor plus a sitting room and (very) private outside terrace complete with a jacuzzi. Luxury .. and money well spent. So much for the fabric of the building. What brings any hotel to life is the staff. Reception, restaurant and room service/housekeeping staff were uniformly top-notch, friendly, unfailingly helpful and well-informed. If the stars align, we’d love to pay a return visit ✅👍😀.

First of all positives, it is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location with great views and great staff. Michelin starred restaurant is amazing.
Now for the negatives, It needs to up its game to be a Relais and Château hotel
We booked through Expedia and got an email from the hotel shortly before arrival but confirming the wrong dates - Took three days to reply to email
The minibar was not stocked, apparently due to Covid restrictions. But this did not apply to other hotels we stayed on on the island.
Tea and coffee making facilities in the room we’re not up to standard. Nowadays you would expect a Nespresso machine in an expensive hotel room, not cheap powdered coffee. was okay, But not as good as the one we had in the far cheaper room at the Phoenicia
Less choice and again you would really expect proper tea not teabags in an expensive hotel.

Finally on our last day the hotel had booked two events which meant that the only two restaurants were closed and there was nowhere for us to eat. Eventually the hotel offered to pay for the Meal in our room. This was a very generous option and was excellent but it was all rather embarrassing and we had to ask and make a fuss before it was offered

In addition the only shared covered space in the building was cleared, so that we could not sit there
All the chairs had been stacked into the gym, which we found out when we went to use it, and could not

Table was put out for us, but felt like sitting in a hanger

The hotel is in a gorgeous location. Mdina really is a magical city that should not be missed on a trip to Malta. The hotel is inside the city gates making it very special as there are not many and it only has 17 rooms giving you the feeling of having a very special experience. The common spaces and rooms are gorgeous. The staff is certainly well trained to give my expectation of full 5 star service.
The only negatives: Our AC went out late at night (these things happen, I don't blame the hotel). They did change our room for the night but did not offer any compensation. Not even a free coffee at breakfast! Being forced to change rooms at midnight I would have expected some type of apology gift or discount.
I stayed in room #7 and the jacuzzi and view were fabulous. But, its important to know that it is right below the restaurant and they put away all the tables and such at midnight which was very loud. So if you are a light sleeper I would request a room on a lower floor.

Beautiful setting in Mdina. Initial impression wonderful. Rooms spacious with bed and bathroom on mezzanine. Room not maintained....old with big marks on carpet. Heating was a major issue .Heat vent was high near ceiling so bedroom v warm and sitting area downstairs freezing cold They were obviously aware of this as there was a portable old filled electric radiator placed downstairs but this did not really help a lot as heat rises into the v high double height ceiling. When we mentioned this problem,the staff were unhelpful and basically said they can't help other than provide another oill radiator. We went in february and evenings were very cold .It meant we couldn't sit comfortably in the sitting room .The TV was v small.and old with yellowed picture anf sound distortion when you put volume up in order to hear it.
Considering this hotel has 5 stars it was very disappointing and did have an impact on oir holiday in Malta.
