    historic property
    difficult receptionist
    low water pressure

    This is a beautiful property in a historic building.

    It was infuriating that we had to sort out an issue that clearly was her responsibility. the low water pressure was frustrating, taking ages to fill the roll top bath that was supposed to be a highlight of our stay.

    spectacular breakfast views
    outdated bathroom fixtures

    The hotel was beautifully located just outside the

    Main attractions of Mdina. The staff provided exceptional service, always willing to help. Our duplex room had lovely decor, but the bathroom needed some updates. The breakfast views were spectacular, enhancing every meal. it made our stay quite memorable.

    Magical moments in Mdina

    Our stay was nothing short of enchanting. The historical charm of Mdina captivated us, and we were welcomed with genuine warmth. The stunning courtyard and panoramic breakfast views made each moment special.

    The room felt a bit outdated, with some features lacking essentials. The TV was not functional, and we faced a bit of confusion regarding room service availability.

    duplex suite
    elegant decor
    spacious layout
    outdated bathroom
    limited amenities

    My duplex suite was amazing! Super comfy with a spacious layout and separate living area, it felt like a little home within the historic walls. The decor was elegant, and having a terrace overlooking the courtyard was such a treat. Nice to relax there in the evenings. The only downside was that the bathroom could use some updates—just not what I'd expect from this kind of hotel.

    The de Mondion restaurant is a total gem, serving up Michelin-starred dishes that made my taste buds dance! Plus, that unexpected birthday dessert surprise from the staff? Pure magic! The duplex suite was another highlight, offering stunning decor and an atmosphere that oozes character.

    We hit a snag with breakfast.

    A Unique Stay in a Historic Gem

    Staying in a duplex suite was a memorable experience, especially with the stunning countryside views at sunrise. The de Mondion restaurant impressed with exquisite cuisine and attentive staff, making every meal a delight. To ensure tranquility, request a room away from the kitchen area for a restful sleep.
