It's so easy to be critical on these reviews, but quite frankly I could not fault this place, everyone was super nice and helpful, any problem was dealt with very promptly. A well run efficient hotel. It's extremely clean, a sweet pleasant floral scent throughout the hotel was noticable. And the rooms are worthy of a 5*+. I have stayed at the nearby sister hotel several times and they never fail to impress me, believe me I would be critical if I needed to. But this hotel will be getting my repeat custom again and again.. first class hotel.

Staff was great! Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast had a nice variety. There is a strong scent that they use throughout, which wasn't to my liking. The hotel is also looking a little tired and dated, and can use a refresh, but still well maintained. Location was also great.

Room was very clean, we opted for a classic room for a 3 night stay. There wasn't a view, but we were on a city break and didnt want to spend much time in the room. Happy hour in the bar served a very nice Aperol Spritz and the food in the bar was good quality and inexpensive. This hotels biggest asset is its staff, without exception, they were friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Good location for everything, so long as you are fit enough for an incline. We would certainly return for another stay.

AMAZING hotel and the best staff I’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much for looking after me, especially Rose and Ismita on reception, Sallendra at the AX Paris for looking after me on my birthday breakfast. Pro in at the Penny Black bar and Oxana and Monika made us feel so special. The service was outstanding and I would recommend this hotel hands down. Thank you

Just returned from a 4 night break at the AX Victoria. We had the best time. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was great with lots of choices. The hotel is situated in a great location close to the seafront but nicely set back away from busy areas. It has a fantastic rooftop pool with beautiful views of the city and beyond. I would recommend staying at this lovely hotel.

Great hotel base in Sliema for visiting the area. It’s on a hill, in a built up area, so may not suit travellers looking for a sea view or with mobility issues. However, it’s only a 5-10 minute walk down to the waterfront. The hotel shares pool, spa and buffet facilities with the 5* AX Palace which was great. Our room was over looked and faced directly into the next building, which was disappointing but not an issue as we spent so little time in our room. Our twin room was spacious, well equipped & maintained, although did not have USB charging points. We booked Half Board and were delighted that this included a bottle of wine and water each evening. The staff were friendly and service was efficient. The rooms were immaculate and cleaned to a high standard by the housekeeping team. We really enjoyed our stay.
