    A cute hotel in a secluded alley, yet just seconds away form the hustle and bustle of Rabat with its historical sights, bars and restaurants. Very well managed by Patrick and his staff who make sure that guests are well taken care of.

    Having to eat out for breakfast, rather too much furniture in our small room.

    The central location in Rabat, peaceful and quiet hotel, with rooftop sitting area and highpoint accessed by spiral staircase which afforded a 360 view of the island of Malta. Friendly and informative staff. Close to amenities and historic Mdina (Walled city).

    Not that easy to find though I only used the address and not the directions. Shame about charging for bottled water in the fridge which seemed a little small minded and out of keeping for similar properties in the area.

    Lovely building; quiet; friendly welcome from the host; very comfortable, well appointed and clean room; nice rooftop area with views over the island; excellent central location. I would certainly stay here again.

    I liked everything about the property.

    Patric and his wife are very kind and helpful people to whom we could turn with any kind of questions like recommendation of a good barber or advice of scuba diving. The hotel is very clean and tidy, the location is perfect. It’s a real ‘hidden gem’ with its unique architecture and style.

    The location is perfect. Situated right in the heart of Rabat. Right next to Mdina. Also not next to a busy road like other hotels in the area. Design of the building is nice. Old architecture is unique. And simplicity of the hotel. The teras on the roof also gives you the best views of the church nearby. The hotel is near nice cafes, restaurants and bakeries. .

    This is an exquisite, small, understated, historic hotel in the heart of Rabat. The hosts (and owners) were Patrick and Brigid White. They, for me, created a truly unique hospitality standard. Both were very knowledgeable, refined, and always cheerful. Exemplary. The location is central, surrounded by many Michelin level restaurants--with tastings a-waiting. This is the go-to stay in Rabat

    The Hidden “Gem” is exactly that. Off the main street, so it’s quiet; and with the stone walls, you feel like you are in the building alone. It is in a perfect location in quaint Rabat, but in the backyard of Mdina. Super clean and the bed is so comfortable!!
