Our room was on the fourth floor with a small balcony and a good view of the church. The church bells rang but the double glazing minimised the sound. Loved the room with 2 massive single beds, spacious and extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast excellent and all staff very friendly and efficient. Rooftop pool area spacious and kept tidy, with a great bar. The area is great, easy to walk around (a bit hilly but not an issue for us) and a mix of old and new; also a quick hop on the ferry to Valletta. Loads of eating options around - and also in the hotel tho we didn’t eat in. I’d definitely come back to this hotel.

Another great stay at AX The Palace Hotel

As always, our stay was enjoyable. The room was very spacious, even as a triple, and very clean. Breakfast and dinner are very abundant and good value for money. The staff was really nice and friendly, playing with my six-year-old granddaughter. in fact I dare to say that my experience was better than the previous ones.

The room I chose was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a fridge and kitchen net stations. Staff were friendly,helpful especially the manager I will look to return.

Huge bed, nice clean rooms. Staff excellent and went out of their way to be extra helpful. Didn't eat in the hotel, but breakfasts were good, if rather busy (which shows it is a popular hotel). Would go back there again.

The hotel was in a great position, the food was excellent, both breakfast, buffet or in the talk of the town restaurant. I would be really happy to stay again. I had really good nights sleep, the beds and pillows were so comfortable.

I stayed at the AX Hotel for 4 nights, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The check-in process was quick and efficient, and the staff greeted us warmly, making us feel instantly at home. My room was spacious, clean, and offered a stunning view of the Valletta skyline—an absolute treat to wake up to each morning. The breakfast was another highlight, featuring a variety of delicious Italian dishes that were fresh and flavorful. The hotel’s location near the heart of Sliema is perfect for sightseeing, as it’s close to many major Malta attractions, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Overall, the AX Palace Hotel offers excellent value for the cost, and the exceptional service makes you feel like part of the family. A special thanks to the reception staff for upgrading our room—it was such a kind gesture. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
