What is the best area to stay in Mdina Old City?

The best area to stay in Mdina Old City is within the city walls, particularly along the main thoroughfares like Villegaignon Street. Staying within Mdina's walls offers a distinctive experience. The city is a pedestrian-only zone, often called the "Silent City," with narrow, winding streets, ancient palaces, and a quiet, almost timeless feel. You'll find a limited number of boutique accommodations, many housed in beautifully restored historic buildings, providing an exclusive stay. Couples seeking a romantic and secluded retreat will find Mdina Old City ideal. The peaceful evenings, illuminated historic architecture, and panoramic views from the bastions create a memorable setting.

When is the best time to go to Mdina Old City?

The best time to visit Mdina Old City is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October). These months offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and a comfortable experience for exploring. During spring, the average temperatures range from 18-24°C (64-75°F), making it ideal for walking through the narrow streets and visiting historical sites without the intense summer heat. The surrounding landscapes are also lush and green, adding to the scenic beauty. Autumn provides similar comfortable temperatures, typically between 20-27°C (68-81°F), and the sea is still warm enough for swimming if you plan to combine your Mdina visit with some coastal activities.

"Everything was amazing, huge highlight was definitely the rooftop bar and pool. Only thing that let it down ever so slightly was every night we’d come into our room anywhere between 20:00 and 23:00 and it would absolutely stink of weed. Neither of us smoke it or want to be around it and the smell was so strong it was horrible Other than this our stay was perfect, all of the staff are so lovely and helpful"

Top Mdina Old City Hotel Reviews

The St George Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful. It was also very useful to have the balcony. However, the bathroom and toilet amenities can be improved since they seem to be quite old."

Malta Marriott Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 4 nights and upgraded to a club king room with sea view which was very nice snd worth it. The property is very well maintained and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The room itself was beautiful. I would only say that the bed is more on the firm side and given our personal preference is a bit softer this would be the only negative. Also if you are a very light sleeper, note you can sometimes hear motorcycles from the main street below even from the 11th floor which the hotel cannot control however the overall comfort and sea view compensated for this. Buffet breakfast was delicious and access to the club suite was convenient since you can grab coffee, refreshments and snacks 24 hours, plus appetizers and alcoholic beverages from 5-7pm. I would definitely stay here again."

Corinthia Palace Malta

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in the middle of a largely residential area but the rest of the island is easily accessible via Uber/Bolt taxis at very reasonable prices. We only had breakfast at the hotel which was very good with a full choice available. It is worthwhile walking around the districts adjoining the property where there are several villages wth small bars and restaurants . We found the local people to be very friendly. Many of the buildings are very historic and beautiful."

Ramla Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"After spending a few days in busy, crowded Valletta, Ramla Bay Resort was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean and island views. Nice room with a big balcony, great restaurants, and a friendly staff. There are multiple swimming pools and a beach area - all with plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas."

Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a penthouse for 5 days with our teenage daughter. Lots of room for all of us and fabulous facilities. We loved the hot tub on the huge balcony. The resort is in the perfect location overlooking its beautiful beach. The staff were fabulous - nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend."
