Almost perfect My wife and I stayed for three nights this summer. This small hotel (just eighteen rooms), set in an old palace within the city walls of Mdina, is incredibly beautiful, the views from the rooms (pick one with a panoramic view, and don’t choose duplex if you can’t manage stairs) are superb, and the staff are wonderfully helpful and attentive. The only disappointment for me was that after all the reviews, I was looking forward to treating my wife to a birthday meal at the hotel’s Michelin starred restaurant, but when we arrived, we learned this restaurant was fully booked for and indeed beyond our stay. The helpful staff booked us into local restaurants as an alternative, but it was naturally not quite the same. Unless the hotel starts emailing people upon booking asking if they want to make reservations for their best restaurant (I imagine most guests will want them), I suggest you make your booking for this restaurant when you book your room. We will next time, and we will definitely be back. Other than that, a quite wonderful stay, and I would like to thank all the staff and management for making it so. Highly recommended.

A very typical Roland Chateaux Hotel, located in the ancient city of Mdina. The whole building has a history of 300 years. It took a lot of thought to renovate and design it, and collected a lot of art works. The whole hotel is antique and full of artistic atmosphere. There are only 18 rooms in total, and each one is different. We chose a duplex suite, which is a bit inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, but fortunately the bathroom and bed are on the first floor. It can be said that this is an excellent choice for in-depth experience of the affluent life in ancient times. Because it is in the ancient city, it is very convenient to visit. When you are tired, you can go back to the hotel to rest, which is very convenient. The breakfast variety is very rich and the quality is excellent. It is a meal ordering system, but it is all free. There are also paid items, which is unnecessary. We chose to dine outdoors, which feels very good. The drinks in the mini bar in the room are free and replenished very promptly. The rooftop restaurant is said to be a Michelin. On the first day of check-in, the front desk asked if I needed to book dinner. It is said to be very popular, but I didn't have time to try it. The service staff is very enthusiastic and considerate, and they are responsive. In short, it is a very good and high-quality hotel.

The hotel is located in the historical buildings of Mdina. There is a restaurant in the hotel, but there are many places to eat in the surrounding area, which is convenient. The room was a maisonette type and was wonderful.
