The Xara Palace is located in Mdina. Malta is very small so you can reach the sea within 15 minutes. I do not like very big hotels so thats why I choosed to stay there. The hotel has been built in an old palace. Mdina is a good place to spend holiday is you want to be outside the touristic... More

My partner and I went to Xara Palace to experience their New Year's package. (Disclaimer: We travel together, but write our own reviews.) And it serves to mention that I am reviewing this hotel according to what I expect from an R&C hotel, and not just from any random hotel in Malta.  The location of the Xara Palace is absolutely...

As frequent R&C guests , we actually built our trip to Malta around a package stay at this hotel. This may be the the source of our less that perfect rating. (We believe strongly in rating hotels against their like quality.) This hotel didn't live up to its own R&C standards. We were not surprised that we were the only... More

We stayed for my wifes birthday, the staff were so attentive both in the hotel and the restaurant and made our stay a most enjoyable experience More

Wonderful experience. Hotel with charm and character. Suite was comfortable, home from home feeling. Mondion restaurant excellent-attentive staff and cuisine high standard and original.

Be aware that this is a small restored palace and does not have spa facilities like... More

Starting from the positive notes, the hotel is charming and the staff is friendly (the receptionist being the exception: efficient but cold). However, our overall experience was negative and we will surely not recommend this hotel for the following reasons: - First of all, we arrived at the hotel around 13.30 but had to wait until 15.00 for our room...

Very kind reception and great views. Well worth a visit More

First of all the hotel is located in the old town of Mdina which is a must visit. The hotel is located by the town walls. We ate outside and had a spectacular view of Malta on a gorgeous evening. Some evenings Maltese villages celebrate their Saints with fireworks. So that evening we also got a fireworks display. The food... More

Awful stay in this hotel. Many problems have to be solved : 1/ noisy at night and especially on week-ends 2/ flies in the rooms and in the dining room 3/ Tableclothes dirty at breakfast time 4/ No rooms for non-smokers : takes 2 days to remove the smell of tobacco... Nothing to do with a Relais et Châteaux anywhere... More
