Howard House Hotel is not just a place to stay; it is an experience that transports you through time. As someone with a deep love for history, I chose this boutique hotel because of its beautifully preserved heritage, and it did not disappoint. Every corner of the building speaks of its past, from the original "garigor" staircase to the intricate details that have been carefully restored. The atmosphere is steeped in character, yet nothing feels outdated—there is a seamless blend of past and present, where modern comforts enhance rather than overshadow the building’s soul. I felt as though I was living in history, not merely observing it, and that is what made my stay truly special. Comfort is never compromised in this historic setting. While I have stayed in old properties before, they often come with practical challenges, but Howard House Hotel is designed with every convenience in mind. The spacious lift was a wonderful surprise, making access to all levels effortless, allowing me to enjoy every part of the hotel without a second thought. My room was luxurious yet understated, offering everything one would expect from a five-star hotel, from plush bedding to thoughtful touches like a fully stocked mini-bar and a coffee machine. The blend of historic charm with modern luxury is what sets this place apart—nothing felt overly polished or sterile, yet everything was elegant and immaculately kept. The highlight of my stay, however, was the time I spent on the upper terrace, where I lost myself in the spectacular 360-degree views. I watched the sunset from this perfect vantage point, completely mesmerised by the changing colours of the sky and the timeless beauty of the city beyond. It was a moment of peace and reflection, where I could take in the landscape as so many before me must have done over the last century and a half. This is a hotel that doesn’t just offer comfort—it offers a deep sense of place, of continuity, and of connection to the past.

The staff is very nice and helpful. The hotel is new and clean. The breakfast was truly delicious 😋 The only thing we didn't like was that it was difficult to locate the entrance. Taxi drivers were constantly getting lost. On our way to the airport, 2 drivers gave up, and only the third one arrived.

Such a beautiful city with amazing buildings within the medieval old capitol. It's busy with tourists during the day and would highly recommend returning in the evening when it's so eerily quiet, but amazing. We ate in a rooftop restaurant, The Knights Kitchen so we could see the amazing sunset over Mdina. There are horse and carts to take you around, but we walked and enjoyed the tiny alleyways. Stunning city

We visited on a Sunday which felt very special. We were able to wander round and barely see anyone else, truly a step back in time. We ate at Coogis in the evening , which was delicious and thoroughly recommend. A treat to visit the town when so quiet

A delightful small, quiet city....it was nice to stay within the walls of the city for the nighttime experience. It became the silent city. not a lot to see, but what is there was interesting. Rabat is literally a short walk across a pedestrian friendly bridge with lots of activity. Certainly Mdina is worth a visit.
