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.

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

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.)

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.

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! 😉

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.

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 😃

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.

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.

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.

Großartige Kombination aus Neu und historisch

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.

Du début à la fin tout était top. Belle déco, tout refait à neuf avec goût, petit dej extra, personnel aux petits soins je recommande vivement. Situation pratique en taxi ou Uber tout est à quelques minutes : près de l’aéroport (sans le bruit!) près de La Valette
