Spent two days here, very quiet town, very clean hotel with lovely caring staff. Roof top pool wonderful, with great views and cocktails. Ghaxaq is a quiet town with few dining out options, but if you’re looking for somewhere quiet away from the busyness of Valetta, highly recommend. Close to airport too.

Had a lovely stay here. The hotel is located really close to the airport which helped us maximise our stay. The rooms are lovely and spacious and they have a nice small rooftop pool. All of the staff were so lovely and caring, but a special thank you to Nirosha, she was such a good vibe and so kind, helpful and fun. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel and the room were beautiful and the staff was courteous. There was a wedding on the property during my stay, which limited access to most of the amenities, however all in all it was a really good experience. Accessing the hotel entrance after hours is tricky and I would recommend asking one of the staff members to provide a tutorial rather than relying on the printed instructions. if you want a nice, quiet, historic place to stay in that area of the island that is close to the airport, I recommend it. If you are looking for more hustle and bustle, I would recommend somewhere closer to the coast.

Lovely property. We booked an overnight due to the close proximity to the airport, but having stayed there wish we had booked longer. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Parking can be a bit of a lottery, but there was plenty of spaces in the surrounding area.

Our stay at the Palazzo Castagna was lovely. The hotel is located in quite part of the island and the rooms are well appointed and very clean. Preet and all the staff were welcoming and helpful with any questions we had. The fact that the hotel has a restaurant is another plus as there are not to many dining options in the neighbourhood. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

This hotel was clean, modern and luxurious. It is convenient for driving to airport and Valletta. My The hotel is not at all convenient for walking to any restaurants. My only criticism is that the hotel restaurant selections are very limited and as a vegetarian there were slim choices. This coupled with no restaurants in walking distance meant more driving. Otherwise we loved our room and found the inner courtyard to be very charming. Room was available early and staff were always lovely. Check out the underground pool, an incredibly unique feature!!

Well run boutique Hotel.

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
