Hotels nahe St. Paul's Cathedral (Mdina)

We spent 3 weeks in the very authentical old city house in one of the pictoresque narrow alleys of the old city of Rabat. Restaurants, historical Places and Shops are in short walking distance. The house has high ceilings and is very spacial for a family of 4. The host is very friendly, helpfull, communicates excellently and reacts quickly if anything is needed. We enjoyed our stay a lot and felt right at home.

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.

There was a lovely lady who showed us to the place and explained everything. Nice rooftop area to relax, breakfast was a delight. The only minor issue was that the shower/toilet were in the same room albeit with a hefty curtain in between. But it didn’t offer the most privacy (from sounds at least).

The room waa very nice and we enjoyed it a lot.

The guesthouse is a real gem. Beautiful, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean rooms and the location is perfect - on a quiet street but only a couple of minute walk from the centre of Rabat and 10mins to the main gate of Mdina. We stayed in one of the superior rooms on the top floor which has a large terrace with views of town and even a glimpse of the sea. It was fabulous. Rossella is a wonderful host, very welcoming and gave us lots of tips for day trips.
