Rabat is a lovely place to visit, centrally situated in Malta so a great base for exploring. Medina Lodge is clean, stylish and has fabulous views from the roof room and terrace. There are quite a few stairs but that gave us an extra workout after dining at the many delicious restaurants nearby. The beds are comfortable and the en-suite bathrooms have great showers. We didn't use the air conditioning as the weather wasn't too hot and the fans provided were ample. We are regular visitors to Malta and know the Island very well but if it was your first time, Pierre has lots of current information available for sight seeing and public transport, with the bus stop just across the road. Parking was fine and we always managed to find a space either right outside the lodge or close by. We were pleasantly surprised to find a washing machine and tumble dryer which are not listed in the description. The kitchen area is small but has everything you need for self catering and there are plenty of shops nearby.
