It’s a beautiful place but other than the dining room which opened at 7 pm there was not any options within walking distance which we were surprised by. The restaurant was fabulous and the staff outstanding. Highly recommend !

Great Hotel, excellent service. This hotel is close to the Airport, there is nothing around the Area, you need a car or hire a taxi o take the public bus to go anywhere. Public transport I found to be well organized and safe. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Had to change rooms since our assigned room was facing the street that is under construction, we did find way to notice, the staff was very helpful in accommodating our request
Construction outside our first room
Convenient bus stop about 3 min walk

Wonderful hotel. Staff are friendly and professional (although some are new staff and need a bit more training.) Breakfast is excellent, with a good choice of hot food available. Building is beautiful. Could do with a coffee maker and provide milk for tea (not powdered creamer.)

The best hotel in Malta! Impressive rooms, wonderful staff always on hand to help even give you a tour around this beautiful buildings. Breakfast and the restaurant food is truly fine dining. It’s more like a 5 star hotel and surely it’s boutique! It’s a place to relax and a place you want to be coming back to. State of the art finishing of the whole palace. There was nothing you could find to be negative. Excellent value for money as well!

They were so pleasant and helpful, we asked if we could check in early, and although they made no promises, our room was ready upon arrival. Excellent staff, all around! Only difficult thing was finding parking, as the property does not have designated parking. Parking was on the street in the surrounding neighborhood.

10/10

We stayed twice in this property during our trip to Malta. We checked in at night because our flight landed after midnight. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. They gave us a beautiful room with modern bathroom and sauna. Pity the sofa was not made into a sofa bed and all three of us had to sleep on the bed (by the way, the bed and pillows and linen are amazing). Breakfast was good, with wide choice of menu items, however I didn't like the taste of eggs.

I only have great things to say about this hotel! The rooms are in excellent size. Very clean and felt homely. We got to really relax and recharge at night. Every single staff welcomes you with a smile and warm greetings which really makes the difference. Shoutout to the restaurant team who went above and beyond to provide a great start to our day through their attentiveness and great breakfast! The hotel is a short-drive from Valetta. Personally enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle and coming home to a quiet village. Also got to experience Malta as a local just by staying in Ghaxaq - everyone in this village is wonderful

This is a beautiful restored property that has retained much of its Maltese style. The bedrooms are bright & modern with beautiful furnishings, bedding & towels. Rooms cleaned daily and bedding & towels changed as required. The best bed we have ever slept in.There is a mini bar and tea/coffee facilities. The restaurant, under the care of Sandeep & his team, offers an array of cereals, pastries, fruit etc & also offers a wide range of hot choices all tailored to your requirements. The roof terrace has a small but lovely pool with sun beds, umbrellas & towels. Reception staff are knowledgeable & can help with trip advice & dinner reservations. My husband & I would return in a heartbeat. The hotel is in the small town of Ghaxaq. The Church is metres away & has been there much longer than the hotel. As such, it and the local residents deserveMass is held daily & attended by the local residents. We also saw a wedding & funeral take place while there. During such occasions parking is restricted but there are lots of other places to park nearby & ample warnings given to move your car. The church also has an enthusiastic bell ringer which, for most people, adds to the charm of the holiday but could upset any overly sensitive guests! 😉

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel sehr genossen. Palazzo Castagna liegt nah am Flughafen und am Fischerdorf Marsaxlokk, aber abseits aller anderen Hotspots der Insel. Das sorgt für erholsame Ruhe insbesondere in der Nacht. Das historische Gebäude wurde auf großartige Art und Weise saniert und ist optisch ein Traum. Besonderes Highlight ist der Pool in einer Höhle unter dem Haus. Noch großartiger sind der Service von Rezeption und Café/Restaurant. So viel freundliche Zuwendung habe ich selten in einem Hotel erwähnt. Die Zimmer sind groß und schön eingerichtet. Die Klimaanlage ist angenehm leise, Temperatur kann aber nicht eingestellt werden, nur an und aus. Fazit: Das Hotel würde ich allen, die mit Mietwagen auf Malta unterwegs sind, ohne Einschränkung empfehlen. Sehr passend aber auch, wenn man vor Abflug nah am Airport sein will.
