The staff at our hotel were so attentive, polite and kind. They saw to our every need during our stay. The hotel is well positioned to explore Malta. The rooftop bar and pool were great and the food and drinks were lovely. A beautiful building in a super location with great architecture.

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 Exceptional

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 Very 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 Exceptional

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.
Margaret, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!

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 !

This was a beautiful hotel - very clean - and a good base for travelling around the centre of the island. I’d definitely stay here again. And breakfast was great too.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing stay in a lovely building

A lovely building but really lacking from a service front. Was told on arrival that is been upgraded by management to a hot tub superior room… when I’d already booked and paid for it. Was then told the restaurant was running a limited menu due to ‘menu changing’. There was pizza and pasta, neither of which I could eat being GF. We booked this hotel for proximity to the airport knowing there were no food options around but that they had a restaurant with an extensive menu. Instead we had to take a return taxi to a nearby town for dinner. The hot tub- buttons worn and 2 corners of keys not working (also no instructions). No covers for the outside furniture on terrace so when the rain stopped we couldn’t sit outside as all cushions were soaked. Breakfast was POOR. Far from what was expected. Receptionist although very polite, just didn’t seem to be able to identify or deal with any problems. Following an email asking what time we wanted to check in (and saying 1pm) we arrived at 2pm and the room was t ready. Having been in the crazy storms we were soaked through and told just to have a seat for an hour… an offer of a towel would’ve been appreciated! Lovely building and room- service sorely lacking , especially for the money.
