 9.0Verified Perfekte Unterkunft um Malta mit dem Mietwagen zu erkunden ☺Sehr schöne gemütliche Unterkunft in Rabat mit Blick auf Mdina. Man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Unerkunft war auch sehr modern und gut ausgestattet. Die Dachterrasse war ein Traum, mit dem Blick auf Mdina. ☹Leider hat es im Bad nach Kanalisation gestunken. Das war immer der Fall als die Lüftung an war. Das Frühstück war sehr Basic. Entweder gar kein Frühstück oder umfangreicher.

 10Verified Odličan smještaj, super usluga. ☺Jako pristupačni domaćini, doručak je bio odličan, sve što vam treba. Jako je blizu stanica za buseve odakle možete otići bilo gdje na otoku. Objekt je jako čist i odlično uređen.

 8.0Verified ☺Great staff nice clean hotel. ☹Bed was very hard and the location is quite noisy if you have a room facing Mdina due to people partying all night in carpark.

 10Verified Excelent ☺O experienta minunata. Foarte aproape de centru si de statiile de autobuz. Este locatia ideala ☹Fiind o parcare mare in fata proprietatii, seara se cam aude galagie, nu prea ai putea sa dormi cu usa deschisa, dar pentru noi nu a fost o problema atat de mare

 9.0Verified ☺We werden onthaalt met een sapje en een chocolaatje! Prachtige kamer. Wij hadden 2 kamers met een gezamelijke badkamer en inkomhalletje. Precies een mini appartementje. Heerlijk ontbijt. Het was ook heerlijk vertoeven op het dakterras. Ideale liggen tussen Rabat en Mdina met een gratis parking voor de deur.

 9.0Verified The stay was memorable during to the host's warm welcome kindness and attention to detail. ☺The breakfast was very well presented  with fresh fruit and good coffee. lovely views of Mdina from the roof terrace along with the sounds carrying from the Cathedral bells. ☹I think to make it exceptional some traditional Maltese bread or sour dough from the local bakery would have been awesome but there was nothing to dislike.

Stay on the Edge of History

Tucked just opposite the majestic walls of Mdina, our boutique hotel sits at the crossroads of Rabat’s charm and Malta’s Silent City. Whether you're strolling through ancient alleys or enjoying a quiet evening under lantern-lit balconies, you're always just a heartbeat away from the island’s most enchanting heritage.
