Overall Ratings & Reviews Palazzo Castagna

Excellent service and lovely rooms.

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.

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.

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.

Liked the staff, the hotel is beautiful. The church bells ringing all night longer were the issue.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels with the best staff! The beds are so comfy too! Would return!

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 !

Good option near Malta Airport for early departures

Well appointed room with a spacious and modern bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent quality of food. Ten minutes drive to the airport.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Palazzo Castagna, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The property combines historic charm with modern comfort, creating a perfect balance for a relaxing getaway. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional. The rooms were impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully designed to provide every comfort. Waking up to the stunning views of the surrounding area was a highlight of each morning. The location is ideal—close enough to explore nearby attractions yet offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere to unwind. The attention to detail throughout the palazzo, from the architecture to the amenities, reflects a genuine dedication to quality and guest satisfaction. I also appreciated the delicious breakfast offerings and the personalized recommendations for local dining and activities. The team’s warmth and hospitality made this trip extra special. I highly recommend Palazzo Castagna to anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious stay. I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful hotel in old building. Super service, friendly and kind staff. Close to the airport. Super comfortable bed and excellent quality for breakfast.

Fantastic hotel, short business trip but hotel was very clean, very comfortable, excellent food and service was fantastic.

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

Everyone and everything was perfect. Would love to come back. Enjoyed the food at roof bar restaurant and breakfast offered nice selection not standard to hotels breakfast menu. Beautiful roof pool. All personal are very helpful and kind!

We stayed here for one night before an early flight and the location was perfect for getting to the airport easily. The staff are very kind and helpful and the property is gorgeous.

Great hotel! The staff was so friendly and so accommodating! Hotel was very clean and the View from the rooftop bar was incredible. We stayed there for three nights and the food Was also very delicious

Overall an excellent stay at the hotel castagna . Most of the staff was very helpful . To name a few , Nirosha, Chodan , Preet at the front desk gave us good tips about what to see around and which transport is best and more viable . At the rooftop bar Vishal was excellent , he went out of his way and took care and Deepak too was so nice . We were only disappointed with the breakfast situation, no savory options for vegetarians and when asked about substitute the non vegetarian to make it vegetarian, the choice was very poor . Would have loved some fresh salad , fresh fruit , fresh dried nuts and some cheeses which would have made it easier . Even when asked for cheese the quantity would be very very meager also something like croissants very simple and basic were not given when asked . The quality of the breakfast ingredients was not up to mark . When we did complain the attendant didn’t seem to care but when we asked to see the manager Adam he was very understanding and heard patiently yo our grievances and followed up beautifully by treating us to a wonderful dinner , drinks and desert of the best quality where in the chef also came and asked us whether we liked it and we were so happy . Also for packing us breakfast because we had to catch an early flight Adam made sure that we got lovely salad which was the best and very fresh with croissants and yogurt and a sweet . So the end of our stay was made very memorable and we would definitely visit castagna again .

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! 😉
