perfectly fine breakffast, great (if slow) on location restaurants. rooms and building are beautifull, staff was almost entirely very nice and helpful

one crew member, a bearded one, was not the best. breakfast could have been better. an prganized place to smoke with provided ashtrays would be welcome.

"Exceptional"

10.0

The room was exceptional, as were all the finishes throughout the Hotel. The room had great views as well as being full of natural light. The breakfast outside on the Bastions was also a fantastic experience, as you could look over all of Malta whilst enjoying your breakfast and enjoying the sun. Would highly recommend.

お部屋をアップグレードしていただき、大変素敵なお部屋に滞在できました。古都イムディーナの雰囲気を満喫させていただきありがとうございました。スタッフの方も大変感じが良かったです。

お湯の温度設定が不安定、急に冷たくなってしまった ミシェランレストランは、あまりフレンドリーではなかったです

"One of my best stays. Exquisite place!"

10.0

It is hard to describe an experience so wonderful. This gem of a hotel is located in the best place in Malta to stay. From the moment of reservation till we left, the service has been superb. Matthias at the front office is an exceptional person. We had wonderful conversations, learning about the culture and he helped us plan our day to perfection. The breakfast staff at the De Mondian were very nice and the meals were excellent We had 3 wonderful days in Mdina which is a magical place where time stands still. The hotel room and amenities were carefully and perfectly appointed. All in all I would come back and stay here again and would recommend anyone going to Malta to make this their first sto

"The Perfect Palace"

10.0

A beautiful place to stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Separate lounge and sleeping area so you didn’t feel like you were in a hotel room at all. The breakfast was amazing. The food fresh and tasty. A fantastic start to the day. The views were so relaxing. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. From me calling g prior to arrival with parking questions to the departure with a list of places to visit on the rest of my travels. I miss them already! This is the perfect hotel.

"Superb"

10.0

From start to finish of our stay for 2 nights. We were met with warmth, grace, and professionalism. All the staff couldn't do enough for us, and everything was done with a smile. Staff ( Silvia, Sara and Denis ) on the front of the house were excellent. I would suggest anyone to stay here for location to see Malta. The Xara Palace is full character, comfortable. Facilities are second to none.
