Palazzo Bifora Reviews
Summary: The hotel was amazing. It felt special to stay in this city. Highly recommend it. We met Omar the owner and he told us this used to be his family home, which he took 12 years to renovate. It’s amazing ! We debated on staying in Rabat and glad we chose not too. You get a different and better experience to stay directly in this city. Walking around after dark there are not many people and the city looks enchanting. We ate two times at Fontenella Tea Garden for breakfast. Also ate at Coogie’s and AD 1530… great choices. The Medina Restaurant looked nice as well with a guitar player in the evening. We sat on the rooftop one afternoon but did not get a chance to use the pool. Looked great though.

Summary: Generally not good value for money. The room is was super tiny, was not able to open a bigger suitcase properly. The system of lights automatically turning on during night when someone uses the bathroom is smart but also annoying for the other person in the room and we did not find a way to turn it off.

Summary: Absolutely stunning property, with wonderful & very helpful staff.
My room was beautiful, and the bathroom was even better, full under floor heating, huge rain shower, could not fault it.
It was my first time travelling since my husband passed away, i felt incredibly safe & well looked after in the hotel
My only two negatives was that the red light on the tv stayed on constantly, i love a dark room to sleep in, but with the tv being directly opposite the bed it was annoying and maybe swap the mini bar fridge which given how quite and luxurious the room is, the fridge motor was very loud, even when shut behind a door.
Overall i still think the hotel, room & staff are absolutely lovely, id have no hesitation recommending or returning!

Summary: Small, boutique hotel delightfully located within the ancient walled city of Mdina. The city is very quiet after 7pm. Only a couple of hotels inside. A few restaurants no bars after 7 in March which makes it so peaceful. The ancient narrow lanes of Rabat are 5 minutes outside of the walls and have plenty of eating/drinking places open late.
The hotel reception closes at 8 so after that it is like staying in an apartment as no staff around.
We were upgraded tp an enormous palatial room which was wonderful. Ceiling was at least 6 metres high! Bed was comfortable. Bathroom had everything you might need.
The little pool on the roof is not big enough to swim in and is overlooked by restaurant tables but i imagine must be wonderful in the city in the summer heat. One of only three places with pools in Mdina. The restaurant on the roof seems a strange concept as you would have to be a guest to get through the front door after 8. We didnt use it but we did have a cocktail in the sun up there which was lovely. Staff are very sweet and courteous. If you want hotel conveniences like room service etc this is not the place but if you like a small palazzo (6 rooms) to feel like you are the only people there this is the one!! Decor is faultless. You feel privileged to be staying within the walls.

Summary: The hotel is charming and right in the walled part of town. The room was clean and comfortable though not particularly roomy. The service was excellent. The breakfast which is included was delicious and substantial. I would be happy to stay there again.
