Fabulous hotel with most beautiful decor and general vibe in a wonderful historic location. The lounge area of our suite was one of the loveliest we have ever experienced with the perfect combination of luxury, comfort and space. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Truly a 5-star experience

Far From 5 Star

When we arrived, we were asked to wait in the lobby and were brought a drink. We weren’t sure what caused the delay as we arrive nearly an hour after check in. Once ready to go to the room, there was no bellhop to assist with our luggage and were shown the original room we booked. We were told by reception that there was a room with a balcony and jacuzzi available for a paid upgrade. We asked to look at it because there was a smell in the original room. We decided to pay for the upgrade, but truly wish we had not and just moved hotels. We were in a Deluxe Suite with jacuzzi, but had to deal with small bugs in the bathroom (pictured) and pigeon feces all over the top balcony. The mattress is quite dated and had a large indentation in it from so many guests sleeping there. The tiles on the rooftop balcony were not secured and were wobbly. On our 2nd night, the wardrobe light stopped working and that’s when we discovered that it was a magnetic rechargeable strip light. We attempted to go to breakfast twice during our stay, yet we were unable to find anyone in the restaurant on both instances. Ultimately, with the bugs, fences and lack of service, we felt that this was far from a 5-star hotel. We had moved from another 5-star hotel in Valletta, which was impeccable. During our stay there, we were going out and about and were not arriving back at the hotel until 18:00-19:00. Had we actually been exploring around Mdina, we certainly would have moved hotels.

Wonderful oasis.

Really enjoyed my brief stay at the Xara. Found it to be a wonderful otherworldly oasis within the fortified town of Mdina. Beds and pillows were perfection so had a perfect sense of relaxation. Check in staff ( Mattias) were magnificently helpful and attuned. Well worth a visit.

Such a special night at xara palace - I was able to get an upgrade for my room and am so grateful. The room had a beautiful private balcony and hot tub overlooking Malta, which is an experience that I will never forget. Staff were wonderful and accommodating. The pool is a few minutes away in the car - the hotel provide a lovely driver as a when you wish to use this facility. Staying in the silent city of Mdina was a way to truly capture the essence of this special place

Anne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Xara Palace. We were offered an upgrade (paid for) the the Presidential Suite on arrival - it was 100% worth it. The space was fabulous, wonderful bathroom and lounge area. The hotel has a private, secluded feel. The pool (5mins drive) is extremely relaxing, wonderful service from Noor and Izor who drove us there each day. Would recommend a drink on the terrace if possible, the champagne trolley is fantastic. We ate in the Trattoria (definitely recommend) and explore local restaurants in Rabat too. Will definitely be back.

8/10 Very good

The staff was excellent and very welcoming. We liked all the history that we learned about the area with activities that were available to us to do so. The Xara Palace is nice but not as spectacular as what we see all over Malta. I think a bit of a revamping could be useful. All in all a very good place to stay.
