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.

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.

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.

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.
