Ax The Palace

We had a great week here! From the moment we walked into the lobby and had that welcoming air con blast (33 degrees outside..) and saw the friendly, polite, and helpful staff at reception who booked us in, through till the end. The room (comfort) was spacious, clean, and well stocked for our stay and regularly cleaned and filtered water restocked for our return each day. The breakfast buffet was really good, with changing items through the week, and a good range of food and drinks. The watermelon, berry and cranberry juice was lush! We used the rooftop pool numerous times and loved it, managing to enjoy plenty of quality relaxing time up there, often whilst enjoying a cocktail. Or two... The food in the Med Asia restaurant was excellent, and we agreed some of the best food we have tasted. Again, with top service. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and polite, from the cleaners and housekeepers, reception, and restaurant staff, all were a credit to the hotel and the management. Thank you.

We went for a day by the pool. Took the buffet breakfast in the morning. Wide selection of items. Really good food and service. We then headed to the rooftop pool. Unfortunately, not a lot of shaded deckchairs near the pool. The pool itself is not that big but it was very nice, enjoyable and clean. The bar next to the pool offers a waited service even for deckchairs. The food was really good and the service was good as well.

Lovely hotel. Perfect to sit outside with coffee or drink. Great rooftop pool and bar. Downside. Sunbeds but not enough shade. Not in an area suitable for pushchairs and beware quite slippery walking down the hills.

Really nice hotel in the heart of Sliema - Got a fantastic deal for 5 nights so we couldn't say no. Room was beautiful with a free upgrade included and had everything that was needed. Staff is what made this place shine to us, service was phenomenal and most are really engaging and would spark conversation. Shout out specifically to the guys in the Talk of the Town Cafe. Breakfast is varied and tasty but nothing to write home about - Still couldn't fault it. Temptasian Restaurant was quite good although found service not to be as efficient compared to the rest of the hotel. Location can be an issue if you want the best of Malta at your door and would probably recommend a stay in Valetta specifically for that. However, in terms of a place to chill out and have some phenomenal restaurants and fantastic views close by - this is the place to be. Would absolutely come back.

A pleasant stay in the Palace. Breakfasts were very good - lots of choices to suit all tastes. We only chose B&B. The only reason I've marked it overall at 4 stars is because: Dining tables were wobbly, and most chairs were in need of a good, deep clean. Carpets in corridors are a little 'tired' (2nd floor). However, in all fairness, the staff are very professional, helpful & very quick to help resolve any issues you may have. Our particular thanks for the nice bottle of wine in our room, to celebrate our anniversary, as well as the complimentary cocktails for my birthday - very much appreciated.
