Weekend break

Beautiful hotel I highly recommend it.
Emily, 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.

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 !

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

Magical

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.)

10/10 Exceptional

The best hotel in Malta! Impressive rooms, wonderful staff always on hand to help even give you a tour around this beautiful buildings. Breakfast and the restaurant food is truly fine dining. It’s more like a 5 star hotel and surely it’s boutique! It’s a place to relax and a place you want to be coming back to. State of the art finishing of the whole palace. There was nothing you could find to be negative. Excellent value for money as well!

This was a wonderful surprise. I just loved it. Very sorry I only had one night.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They were so pleasant and helpful, we asked if we could check in early, and although they made no promises, our room was ready upon arrival. Excellent staff, all around! Only difficult thing was finding parking, as the property does not have designated parking. Parking was on the street in the surrounding neighborhood.
Rolando Suarez, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed twice in this property during our trip to Malta. We checked in at night because our flight landed after midnight. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. They gave us a beautiful room with modern bathroom and sauna. Pity the sofa was not made into a sofa bed and all three of us had to sleep on the bed (by the way, the bed and pillows and linen are amazing). Breakfast was good, with wide choice of menu items, however I didn't like the taste of eggs.
