La Ciutadella

Nice hotel spoilt by the sheer noise of all the party revellers who are using the place as a crash pad

We stayed on the 6th floor and the view was spectacular. The room was large with a gorgeous outdoor terrace but sadly it had not been cleaned. We needed to clean this area before we sat there - we then were able to enjoy this lovely space overlooking the harbour and city. Our room included a small kitchenette - not really suitable to cook a meal. Expedia lists this hotel with a laundry - it does not, you need to pay per item. The staff were kind, thoughtful and very helpful and the breakfast was delicious. The location is walkable to all main attractions, close to restaurants and cafes. Just be aware it is a very difficult place to arrive on foot with large/heavy luggage as there are LOADS of stairs and hills. If you take a cab to the Grand Harbour Hotel (best option)- it is ‘only’ about 50 steps up to the hotel - doable. There are no staff to help you with your luggage as it is a small boutique hotel. Would I stay here again, absolutely, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

Amazing boutique hotel within the walls of Mdina. Very welcoming on arrival and made it clear they were there to help. We had a lovely room with a panoramic view and all the amenities you need. The fully served breakfast is fantastic. It was all beautifully presented with a wide variety - special mention to Lindsay who looked after us, she was brilliant. Our complete dining experience in De Mondian restaurant was exceptional! The hotel has a pool - not on site but a five min drive away (shuttle provided as & when) and we spent a very pleasant few hours there one afternoon away from the hustle and bustle. Fabulous couple of days at the end of our trip to Malta.
