The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux in Mdina

This is a lovely hotel inside the Medina City Gates. What makes it really stand out is the exceptional service. All the staff went above and beyond and made us feel welcome. They were very kind to our children and helped in whatever way they could. The rooms are very comfortable and we had no complaints. If you have a chance to stay here I highly recommend it. This hotel and more importantly the staff, is a gem.

Very nice, with a great medieval atmosphere, and the service was also very attentive.

Our first stay at the Xara and it really was exceptional! Thank you to the staff and the team. It was nice to meet the family behind it too, thank you Justin.

Mdina is a wonderful city and the Xara is another level of luxury, I highly recommend doing a few nights there on any holiday to Malta.

Excellent experience altogether. Great place, great staff, delicious food

Just stayed here a few weeks back and let me just say, the place incredible. As a big, Game of Thrones fan I was excited to come here. I was in Mdina many years ago and thought, "How cool would it be to spend a night in a fortified city?" Well, now that dream was a reality. My family and I felt likes royals staying here. Like being in medieval times but in a luxury hotel. Needless to say, you need to dial in expectations a bit as the place was built in the 1700's so accommodations to a degree are reflective of this. The staff was beyond accommodating and even showed us a upgraded room choice which was available and I of course, had to accept as it was magnificent. For the price and the location, it's a win.

Warm and professional welcome!
Excellent value for money!

I recently stopped by the Xara Palace hotel and was assisted by Istvan, the duty manager at reception. His professionalism and genuine attentiveness left a strong impression. Despite me not being an inhouse guest, he took the time to assist me and made me feel genuinely welcome. It was a brief encounter, but his courteous behaviour stood out and speaks highly of the hotel's commitment to guest experience.

Wonderful place, extraordinary service, delicious breakfast and the dinner in the The Mondion Restaurant was outstanding.

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.
