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.

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.

One of the most memorable hotel stays! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royally by the lovely receptionist, Reena and her evening colleague Affra. The view from our room, overlooking the surrounding countryside, was spectacular. And the room was spacious, comfortable and luxurious! We will hold the Xara Palace in our hearts, a very special holiday destination.
