We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Xara Palace. Great location in an authentic luxurious building, decorated with respect its history. The room was impeccable and provided great comfort with outstanding beds. The breakfast was exquisite, being served in the restaurant overlooking the great landscape. We had dinner at the Medina restaurant, affiliated to the hotel and situated in the center of Medina. A great spot with excellent Maltese food. All staff were great, but special thanks to Matthias from front desk who has been really authentic in making our stay such a great memory.

Howard House Hotel is not just a place to stay; it is an experience that transports you through time. As someone with a deep love for history, I chose this boutique hotel because of its beautifully preserved heritage, and it did not disappoint. Every corner of the building speaks of its past, from the original "garigor" staircase to the intricate details that have been carefully restored. The atmosphere is steeped in character, yet nothing feels outdated—there is a seamless blend of past and present, where modern comforts enhance rather than overshadow the building’s soul. I felt as though I was living in history, not merely observing it, and that is what made my stay truly special. Comfort is never compromised in this historic setting. While I have stayed in old properties before, they often come with practical challenges, but Howard House Hotel is designed with every convenience in mind. The spacious lift was a wonderful surprise, making access to all levels effortless, allowing me to enjoy every part of the hotel without a second thought. My room was luxurious yet understated, offering everything one would expect from a five-star hotel, from plush bedding to thoughtful touches like a fully stocked mini-bar and a coffee machine. The blend of historic charm with modern luxury is what sets this place apart—nothing felt overly polished or sterile, yet everything was elegant and immaculately kept. The highlight of my stay, however, was the time I spent on the upper terrace, where I lost myself in the spectacular 360-degree views. I watched the sunset from this perfect vantage point, completely mesmerised by the changing colours of the sky and the timeless beauty of the city beyond. It was a moment of peace and reflection, where I could take in the landscape as so many before me must have done over the last century and a half. This is a hotel that doesn’t just offer comfort—it offers a deep sense of place, of continuity, and of connection to the past.

The apartment was very clean. Every day the staff cleaned the apartment and changed the towels. They checked whether we were satisfied with the cleanliness of the apartment. They are very approachable, kind and ready for any kind of help. The view from the top of the building was perfect. The only pity is that the exit is locked after noon, so we could not enjoy the night view. I especially want to praise that the staff met us on the last day after check out and allowed us to use the toilet, shower and pool, which meant a lot to us because we had a late flight back home. Thank you very much for everything, you are wonderful, we will gladly come back again!

This was our second time staying here, and once again, it was an excellent experience. The location is perfect—right in the center, with easy access to public transportation, yet still in a quiet and peaceful area. The studios are very well-equipped, modern, and exceptionally clean, just like the common areas, which are always well-maintained. One of the highlights of our stay was the outstanding service from the staff, especially Monika. She is truly amazing—always friendly, helpful, and incredibly efficient. No matter what we needed, she was quick to respond and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we required for a comfortable stay. Her professionalism and kindness made a huge difference in our experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay once again and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great balance of comfort, convenience, and top-notch service.

This was an exceptional hotel with the friendliest staff. The hotel was beautiful, especially the bifora windows. The small but impactful gestures were appreciated like the chocolates left in our room each day. The staff always greeted us with a smile. The food was just as good as everything else. The experience of staying here felt bespoke and was very peaceful given its location in the silent city of Mdina. Highly recommended.

The staff were excellent: friendly, professional and attentive. This is the only hotel within the city walls of Mdina - so the location was perfect. We stayed for three nights - and dined at Medina, Trattoria AD1530 and Mondion (for the best tasting menu ever!!). These restaurants are all in Mdina and linked with the hotel, so booking was easy.

Everything is excellent in this hotel - actually beyond excellent! It is the second time I have stayed here and I will reiterate what I said in last year's review. The hotel's biggest asset is its very attentive and charming staff - be it housekeeping, restauration or reception! That besides the historical location and the grandeur and classical beauty of the hotel itself make for an excellent quite and stressless getaway on an otherwise very busy and noisy island :-). We also adored the view over the valley from our room - Stunning!!
