2/10 Poor

One of the worst hotel stays I have had. The staff are incompetent I have never experienced such poor service across the board which was so disappointing due to Malta hospitality being so fantastic. The pool was closed for two days of our stay and we were told mixed messages as to why. On our 3rd day used the pool there are diners having steak lunches whilst sunbathing. Never offered pool service all day. Upon our final day we were called at 11am asking why we haven’t checked out when the documents in the room and our key card said 12. It was the icing on the cake really. I wouldnt recommend to family and friends. The owner did compensate our chosen upgraded room but the cost is already high. We were made to feel secondary to the customers coming for coffees and lunches and that we were in the way. Very sad as Mdina and the hotel decore are lovely

10/10 Exceptional

Palazzo Bifora is a beautifully restored little hotel. Rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated although tiny. Owner Omar is most accommodating and helpful! The ONLY place for improvement is breakfast. Although it is plentiful, there could have been more choices. Because you had to make your choice the night before, we felt the breakfast was prepped the night before (like the cut fruit) and things were not fresh. Eggs were cold. Rather than offering a dessert, maybe offer greater pastry choices and have these buffet style so guests can grab what they want. Also, there could have been slightly better housekeeping. Upon arrival, our floors had fuzz everywhere which required better vacuuming.

5 Stars
5 stars for this 5 star! This newly opened (November ‘22,) beautifully renovated and meticulously designed boutique hotel in the magical “silent city” of Mdina, is an experience unto itself. Owner operators, Omar and Sandra, worked on their family property for five years transforming the historic house into a six suite, luxury hotel worthy of a spread in a design or luxury travel magazine! We so enjoyed our stay at this establishment and cannot think of a better way to begin our journey in Malta! Our single regret is that we only booked for one night. For how will we ever know the true scope of the 50+ piece pillow menu? Or get to try all the selections from the delicious breakfast menu? Indeed we never even had a chance to crack a book in the library of our ‘Aragona’ suite, nor while away the hours in the heated rooftop swimming pool! We did however enjoy a sleep fit for kings under the pineapple lamp shade created by the Royal family’s lamp maker, and hung from such a lofty height! Matched only by the huge window with insignia, a centre piece of the building, and draped in 4 metre long silk curtains. Resplendent indeed! After fine dining and Maltese wine as per Omar’s excellent recommendations, we wandered thru every winding alley in Mdina at midnight. Having the sleeping town completely to ourselves! Totally enchanting! We felt as if in a medieval movie set, and indeed several scenes from the series ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed there. Thank you Omar, Sandra

The Best
The best thing about this stay was Priscila's service. She made the whole experience special. Priscila took care of every detail of our stay, especially in providing us with information and options for places to stay in Mdina. The rooms have a touch of luxury and comfort that surprised us. We will be back, because we miss it! Thank you very much for all your support.
