The Saungweme's from 🇬🇧 AX The Palace was a really good choice for our stay in Malta. We booked the junior suite; the room was spacious clean and had all the amenities you'd expect in a 5 * hotel. We looked forward to getting back to the relaxing comfort of our room each day after spending the day exploring Malta. The bed was very comfortable; we had a balcony that stretched the length of our room with sea facing views. There is a concierge service and car parking available at the hotel at a small fee. There are 4 restaurants in the hotel each offering a different cuisine from around the world. The buffet options in The Tabloid restaurant were amazing and catered for different palettes. The attention to detail and service by the staff; from dining through to house keeping was exceptional. The front desk staff were very helpful and pleasant. Special mention to Front Office Manager Simba Mapfumo and Shivana, who added a personal touch to our stay making it even more special. They were knowledgeable and gave us some good tips and advise on places to visit. We will definitely be staying here again.

The staff members here were so welcoming and kind. This hotel is beautiful and went above and beyond my expectations. It’s located in a very convenient location as it’s a short walk from both the ferry, and a variety of shops and places to eat, while also being in a fairly quiet neighbourhood. I even received a certificate on my birthday for a free cocktail for both myself and my husband.

The hotel was as we remembered from our visit two years ago. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff helpful and friendly and the breakfast plentiful and delicious. The hotel is ideally situated for our needs in the hustle and bustle of Sliema, which we love, and perfectly located to visit Valetta and other places of interest on the island. The 7 day travelcard is very good value for money. We would definitely stay at the AX Palace Hotel again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking to holiday in Malta.

The propert was well located . Nice roof top pool area as well as adult only pool area. The room was very spacious and well appointed. The bathroom was very big with separate water closet, separate shower as well as a bathtub. The restaurants were good and the breakfast was excellent. My only regret is our room was on back of building. I do not recommend it as there was no view from balcony. But that was probably more my fault when booking

Not the same?
I have been coming to The Palace for about 10yrs for work. This time the service was not the same: breakfast drinks almost non-existent, reception failed to make reservation for restaurant and overall standard helfullness of some of the staff was poor. Will probably look elsewhere for next year.

Have stayed here several times . Good location . Excellent rooftop pool and Fusion restaurant . Very good breakfast with wide choice. All staff extremely friendly and professional. Complimentary upgrade to a suite on top floor which was lovely and spacious but needs some updating and more clothes storage .
