Palazzo Bifora

There’s lots to like about this hotel but you need a good room. Our first, room 1, had a couple of issues, the first could be resolved but the second was that the room is tiny. There is only a couple of feet around the bed so you can’t both move at the same time. There is no room for a chair. We were not happy and the manager moved us after our first night. What a difference! If we had started in this room then we really would call this hotel a hidden gem. It is beautifully restored and the staff are great. Breakfast was delicious too.

So when we arrived we sat inside it wasn’t busy so they took our order for food and drinks but the service was so long, I ordered the chicken and leek pie with wine and water, my friend ordered the same but asked about something on the menu they told her what is was and she said she’ll have one of each of the small pastries. The wine and small water took ages to come even though the guy and girl didn’t look busy, but the food took over 40 mins, which didn’t include nachos so my friend asked about the nachos and they bought them but she didn’t receive her pastries and the girl who took our order apologised over the communication and my friend didn’t get her pastries then they was an issue with the bill they charged us for 3 wine but we only had 2 they took that off and added us for a large water but I said I only had a small water which they corrected. We paid the bill but added a tip but we didn’t pay but left a 1 euro tip as the service was awful the food and drinks took so long and they kept getting our order/bill incorrect. When we went to the toilets downstairs as the restaurant is upstairs via a lift the manager asked us if we had paid we explained the situation and apologised and said the lady is an intern and the guy is new I said you have to be careful as it’s your business which will be affected but the food and drinks was amazing apart from poor service and issues with the bill.

Music often moves me; not many buildings do! The air, the space, the antiquity, the attention to detail here, all gave me a lump in my throat. Standing in the elegant reception area, I noted every single person who came in scanned the room and mouthed “Lovely!” Staff and… Well, everything is immaculate. Do visit, even just for coffee. You’ll end up wanting to stay here.

Fantastic rooftop restaurant with amazing views. Beautiful vista but also incredible building with real attention to detail. Delicious food & drinks. Very accommodating friendly staff. A real gem we were glad to find & good vegetarian options.

If you want a place to eat away from the madding crowd, look no further. This beautiful hotel has a tranquil courtyard and roof top restaurant. Lovely place for breakfast or lunch. Food excellent and staff really friendly. Would love to stay at the hotel next time as it looks wonderful.

We were on a day trip to Mdina and in need of a light lunch. Fortunately, we stumbled across this hotel. Even though we were not guests and only using it to purchase refreshments nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff. If the standard of coffee, tea and sandwiches is anything to go by then we will definitely be back to try out the restaurant and accommodation. Highly recommend you seek out this little gem of place.

We stopped in for a coffee and were very impressed by the acrchitecture and the enclosed courtyard where we had our drinks. The service was impecable and we stayed for another drink. We were treated to a tour of the building and were amazed! The rooms are excellent and we are looking forward to going back for a meal as a minumum!

We have stayed in Palazzo Bifora to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The decorate our room accordingly. The hotel is very beautiful and comfortable. The restaurant is very good as well. Everything was amazing. Thank you Omar, Ivan and Ana for hosting us so well.
