Great little Hotel in a great location

Excellent service and lovely rooms.
Dotty, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Priscilla, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Neil, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A beautiful property with a lovely couryard, comfortable rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood close to an excellent bus service. It is about 30 minutes from Valetta by bus, and the service is regular, frequent, reliable, and cheap.
C, 9-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!!
Mary, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

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 !

10/10 Excellent

Our five-night stay at Palazzo Castagna was absolutely splendid and far exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to have visited during the vibrant Feast of St. Joseph, which added an extra layer of magic to an already enchanting experience. From the moment we arrived, the concierge and hotel staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Every interaction was warm, professional, and attentive—striking the perfect balance between hospitality and discretion. The team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and make local recommendations that enriched our stay. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained. Our room was spotless, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable. The thoughtful design, blending old-world charm with modern amenities, created a luxurious yet relaxing atmosphere that felt like a private retreat. Every corner of the hotel radiated elegance and care. Palazzo Castagna is not just a place to sleep—it’s a destination in itself. Whether enjoying breakfast on the terrace or returning to a perfectly made room after a day of sightseeing, every detail contributed to a truly memorable experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend Palazzo Castagna to anyone seeking refined comfort, warm hospitality, and an authentic Maltese experience.

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
Construction outside our first room
Convenient bus stop about 3 min walk

This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at! The room with a jacuzzi is magical. The proximity to the airport was perfect for an early morning flight.

Palazzo Castagna is a beautiful property in the quiet village of Ghaxaq. The bedrooms are spotless with everything you need for for stay. The pool is well maintained, towels provided and a lovely pool bar. The staff are exemplary. Every single one goes out if their way to make your stay the best. Special mention to Sandeep. This is our 2nd stay here and we are returning in September. However, this stay has seen changes. Altho a full a la carte breakfast is shown on their website this is now a some what limited buffet style breakfast. Still good but disappointing compared to previous years. In addition, there is now a reduced service for food in the evening. Not sure why because their chef is an experienced, skillful man who in the past has prepared done fabulous meals for us. During our stay the hotel was full, yet, the pool bar was closed in the evening and no provision for food on several nights. This year the hotel has opened an underground cave pool. Lovely. but limited appeal and not providing any extra income fir the hotel. Feed and water your guests in the evening, every evening. Having said all that we will be vavk in September 😃

Beautiful building with professional staff

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.)
