AX The Palace

Fantastic hotel, in a quiet area of Sliema yet only a couple of minutes walk to the seafront, harbour and main area of Sliema. Our room was clean and comfortable with a partial seaview and a balcony. The infinity pool area located on the 9th floor was a great place to relax, the views looked out to sea, across to St Julians and beyond and in the other direction Valetta which looked beautiful especially at night. There was a great pool bar up there too serving food and drink all day - Happy Hour between 3pm and 5pm served cocktails 2 for 12 Euros. Breakfast buffet to start the day was so good with plenty of choice for everyone, there's no reason to leave hungry. We ate in three of the onsite restaurants, the food and service was great in all of them, especially in Temptasian on the 9th floor (best to make a reservation) the food here was amazing. There is a tour desk in the main lobby, thanks to Sandra for sorting our excursions. On a last note one of the best thing about this hotel is the staff, from the Management and down, the customer service was second to none. Too many to name but thanks to Dominica, Kristjan and Chang at the pool bar and Puja and Julia at the Temptasian restaurant. We would like to say thanks to you all for such a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back.

The service was more than exceptional. I've never experienced such friendly and helpful staff at any other 5 star hotel. For example: The service desk remembered my name and room number (even when I'd forgotten my room. One night I wanted to change the booking at the Temptasions restaurant and the lady on the front desk couldn't get through on the phone. I went there myself, too - and found the lady had gone all the way up to the restaurant to try and sort it. I was having a limoncello at the end of the evening with my wife was offered another on the house. More than anything, ALL the staff were continuously happy and friendly and smiled and said hello at every occasion. The rooms were cleaned brilliantly by really friendly, happy staff. Bravo!

We stayed at AX The Palace with our 6-month old baby for a week and we had the loveliest time. The hotel is located centrally in Sliema, 5 minutes walk to the sea front, including the Valetta Ferry, tour boats and bus stops. The hotel was exceptionally clean and well-looked after. Staff are incredibly friendly - every single staff member we met went out of their way to help us, but a special mention goes to Sailendra & Leonie at breakfast and Dominika upstairs at the pool bar - you really made our holiday, thank you! Breakfast was fantastic - options for everybody, fresh and tasty, and coffee was good too. All of the facilities were excellent and well-maintained. The pools are all great, we only used the rooftop pool, which is fabulous on a hot day. The view of Valetta from the roof is fantastic too. Guests were all respectful, with well-behaved children. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Excellent rooms, friendly staff, very generous and delicious breakfast, with pancakes and omelets prepared to your liking by the chef working at the breakfast table. The indoor and rooftop pools and the gym are shared with AX Victoria, as the two buildings are connected. Both swimming pools are great, there is a superb bar next to the rooftop pool, and there is also a sauna next to the indoor pool. The area is very nice, just a few minutes' walk from the waterfront. Bus stops and numerous small and large shops, including some that are open 24 hours a day, are also just a few minutes away.

The hotel was in a good location, just a few minutes walk from the coast and a nice breakfast place called WOM (Word Of Mouth) - would recommend. The hotel itself is nice, with lots of cafes and bars etc. which are nice, if expensive. The room itself had the biggest bed i have ever seen! :-) There was a good bathroom and complementary water and bottle of wine. The staff were helpful and the check out time was good. Its approx 15 mins to walk to the person ferry to Valletta or there are many Bolts around (download the app before your trip - its very similar to Uber).
