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.

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!

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.)

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.

I only have great things to say about this hotel! The rooms are in excellent size. Very clean and felt homely. We got to really relax and recharge at night. Every single staff welcomes you with a smile and warm greetings which really makes the difference. Shoutout to the restaurant team who went above and beyond to provide a great start to our day through their attentiveness and great breakfast! The hotel is a short-drive from Valetta. Personally enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle and coming home to a quiet village. Also got to experience Malta as a local just by staying in Ghaxaq - everyone in this village is wonderful

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.

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.
