Overall, it was a very positive experience. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Moreover, even the in-room dining was very good. The room is very nice and spacious. One missing detail was the iron and ironing board.

What can I say! Just the best hotel I have stayed at (and there are many). Beautiful building, beautiful room, fabulous staff. Nothing is a problem. Will be back for sure.

The staff are exceptionally to say the least- my only criticism is that Mdina can be done in a day- good to show how you can keep this brilliant hotel as a base for exploring Malta- although should have asked this before and the brilliant staff would have stepped up.
