The Palazzo Bifora is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. The Palazzo Bifora is an ideal choice for travelers who want to take in the sights and sounds of Mdina. The hotel offers easy access to Malta International Airport, just 12km away. There's plenty to do nearby, with St. Paul's Church, Rabat City Gate and Basilica Kolleġġjata u Proto-Parroċċa ta' San Pawl all within a short distance. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. This Mdina hotel features parking on site. There's never a dull moment at this hotel, our guests indicate that the facilities are excellent.
Completely endorse all recent reviews, except for Dreamer60224, who must have been really unlucky. My wife tested the hot water on arrival: it was running cold, but that turned out to because of a block in the system, as the room hadn't been used for a little while. This was put right by the hotel's resident handyman while we had dinner, and we had lovely hot baths afterwards. He and all the rest of the staff and management were friendly and efficient without exception. The breakfast was wonderful, and so was the view from our room (no. 12): green fields were a treat to the eye, coming from England in February.
Almost perfect
My wife and I stayed for three nights this summer. This small hotel (just eighteen rooms), set in an old palace within the city walls of Mdina, is incredibly beautiful, the views from the rooms (pick one with a panoramic view, and don’t choose duplex if you can’t manage stairs) are superb, and the staff are wonderfully helpful and attentive.
The only disappointment for me was that after all the reviews, I was looking forward to treating my wife to a birthday meal at the hotel’s Michelin starred restaurant, but when we arrived, we learned this restaurant was fully booked for and indeed beyond our stay. The helpful staff booked us into local restaurants as an alternative, but it was naturally not quite the same.
Unless the hotel starts emailing people upon booking asking if they want to make reservations for their best restaurant (I imagine most guests will want them), I suggest you make your booking for this restaurant when you book your room. We will next time, and we will definitely be back.
Other than that, a quite wonderful stay, and I would like to thank all the staff and management for making it so. Highly recommended.

What a welcome from the hostess! We arrived at 09AM and the room was already ready. Made up to perfection, and everything had been thought of: bathrobes, slippers, sweets... There is a heated four-person jacuzzi on the spacious terrace. The location of the boutique hotel is ideal for visiting the city of M'dina. There are several cozy restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The accommodation does not offer breakfast, but on the ground floor there is a coffee shop that offers great breakfasts at reasonable prices.
This guest house is situated in the heart of Rabat, in very quiet area, very close to restaurants. Tea and water were also in the room upon arrival. Our room had 2 bedrooms, two televisions, 2 Air-conditions and also a balcony. However, there is NO lift to go up to rooms. Owner was very approachable and helpful. Breakfast was offered in nearby restaurant, just round the corner. They also brought take-away dinner right to our door for us since it was raining. Extra towels were available in laundry room. Relaxing stay. Few minutes away from main square and main parking area.
Great little guesthouse in the streets of Rabat where you truly do feel like a local. Walking through the narrow windy streets to dinner each night was a joy. Great position, about 10 minutes very pleasant walk to the Mdina. We also managed to park right outside the front door for our 4 night stay. Room very comfortable, very clean, and we didn’t hear any other guests or any other noise at all during our stay. Very peaceful. But there was ‘something’ missing that we couldn’t put our finger on. We didn’t really mind that the teabags and milk in our room weren’t replenished, or the strange concertina door on the shower recess, or that our terrace had no view at all, or that the water dispenser in the lobby was empty for our first 2 days … but when you put them all together it just means it wasn’t 5 star worthy!
This was a nice B@B, although for some reason I was expecting more hotel luxury given the online reviews. The room was clean and spacious, the bathroom was also good, showers good, towels not that absorbent, no bath., bed and pillows very good. The breakfast had to be pre-ordered (to a given time) and the selection was not that extensive. There was no option to cook your own toast. Coffee was from a push button machine and on the cool side. The location of the hotel was quite good, down from the main square and close to both catacombs and Mdina old town. Also close was Maltas extensive bus route terminal. From Rabat it is about a 20 min bus ride to the capital of Valletta. There is also an airport route. The hotel has a pool and vending machine, unsure if it provides meals other than breakfast. My main ‘beef’ was that the cleaning service was quite intrusive, for example would go to breakfast at 7.30 (earliest time) and would return to find the cleaner in my room (no DND sign was available), she even took it upon herself to fold my clothes I had left to dry. They also discarded bottles that I wanted to reuse. ( when I book a room I like to think I can put ‘stuff’ where I want and not have people move it). However overall the accommodation is good, particularly for its location. I stayed for 6 nights, think 2-3 would have been ample as there are many other properties on Malta that are similar yet in diff. locations. (get to experience more of the island).
