What a great find - a posh, beautiful place hosted by very charming Mariella. She was very proactive in communication & made sure our comfort needs were met. We felt very well taken care of by hardworking Richard who was in charge of the kitchen/breakfast. Amazing rooftop & hot tub. Superb location with easy access to Rabat & Medina. Can’t wait to stay again.

Excellent location, right at thr gate of old Mdina. The hotel staff is very friendly amd welcoming. Thr room itself is very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the location is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel. The hotel is just 1 minute walk from the bus terminal which can take you all over Malta ( airport, all the ports, valletta an so on) .
