3rd time staying here. Still happy stayers. Hotel is very clean and pretty. Staff super helpful. Breakfast is continental and great to start the day with. Will be coming back next time we are in Malta!
I took my wife to Malta for her birthday, I found this beautiful boutique hotel by chance on Expedia...what a find!!!
The hotel is amazing, an old building restored to its former glory and more. Our garden view room was brilliant, so clean, good shower & the bed was very comfy. The balcony was a lovely extra touch. On arrival the staff had put a birthday card for my wife and a bottle of wine in our room...what a lovely gesture.
The food at the hotel, was great. Lovely buffet style breakfast & a very good restaurant. We really enjoyed eating at the roof top bar by the pool :)
The underground indoor pool was also a extra bonus & a nice surprise.
Special thanks to the staff for making our stay so wonderful...Nirosha, Krishna & Mark you guys made it so special :) x
A beautiful boutique hotel in the centre of Hal Ghaxaq Church square.
Peaceful and relaxing but a great base for visiting the whole of Malta.
The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and maintained by a great team of friendly staff.
The buffet style breakfast is delicious and fresh.
Lovely pool & rooftop bar area.
Reception staff all Lovely and knowledgeable headed up by lovely Nirosha 😍
The room was decorated beautifully. It was one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed at.
Very comfortable bed and pillows.
It had great full length mirrors if you wanted to do an outfit check before going out. There was a rooftop pool with a bar with music, it had a nice vibe. Wish I stayed more than one night. This hotel was close to the airport which is the reason why I chose it as I had a morning flight and I was staying on the other island of Gozo prior to this.
I would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic place to stay - highly recommend to everyone. Room was really spacious and comfortable. Quiet hotel, great location - only a 10euro bolt from valetta and a short drive to lots of coastal areas. Staff were really helpful and courteous, dinner was delicious.
No main restaurant open, not told before we arrived only roof top bar with limited options for food .
Parking a nightmare, limited spaces round hotel.
Staff need extra training in customer care .
Room was very clean and comfortable and very quiet.
Enjoyed our stay.
Had a great dinner on the roof deck, with views of the city. Had an early flight, so missed breakfast, but the staff prepared a takeaway meal of sandwiches, yogurt, and apples.
Hotel was very clean and modern. Staff was very helpful and thoughtful.
Exceptional hotel, set in a beautiful building with modern, clean rooms.
The bed was very comfortable
The staff was great, especially Mary Joy at reception who was very welcoming and friendly.
Great rooms,staff are very polite and friendly.
Dislike, the breakfast could have been hotter but I've been assured that new warming plates are being ordered. Maybe the introduction of bacon....we left before, 7am to catch our flight.so missed out on breakfast, staff don't start until 7.30 am.
No night porter /reception, for a 4 star boutique hotel not that professional.
Room was a good size and well maintained. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Beautiful hotel, in a quiet residential area. Not many options nearby for eating out, but there is a small supermaket within walking distance.
Room was very comfortable, breakfast excellent. Restaurant and cafe in the hotel on the pricier side, but food was excellent.
Ample street parking nearby. Recommended.
The property is a cute boutique hotel; the room was well appointed and staff friendly. I had booked it due to its proximity to the airport as I had an early flight out the next morning. However, there was a EXTREMELY loud concert of some kind right outside which went on until at least 1 am. I was unable to sleep until it was over. I am not sure if this is a common occurrence but if you value quiet when sleeping it is something to consider.
Spent two days here, very quiet town, very clean hotel with lovely caring staff. Roof top pool wonderful, with great views and cocktails. Ghaxaq is a quiet town with few dining out options, but if you’re looking for somewhere quiet away from the busyness of Valetta, highly recommend. Close to airport too.
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.
