AX Palace Hotel in Sliema is every inch the five star hotel – beautifully furnished and immaculately run; it boasts a perfect location with views looking out over the Grand Harbour. But more than that, it has its own unique sense of style and character.
With its picture postcard perfect outlooks, its chic, elegant interior and its wonderful facilities, the Palace Hotel really lives up to its name. And with its own spa facilities offering a range of indulgent body and health treatments, the emphasis is firmly on relaxation.
In fact, you can't help but relax at the Palace Hotel. Rooms are stylishly appointed, and benefit from plasma screen satellite TV, tea/coffee facilities, minibar and climate control. (Most rooms also feature a balcony or terrace.) And anyone who wants to take luxurious living to its ultimate expression can hire their very own butler for the duration of their stay.
While eating out is one of any holiday's great pleasures (especially in Sliema with its array of fine restaurants), eating in is just as big an attraction at the Palace Hotel. With three superb restaurants to choose from, each with its own unique style and menu, there is a wealth of fine, fresh cuisine to savour. The stunning views of the Grand Harbour from the TemptAsian Restaurant on the 9th floor add a little extra relish to any meal.
Additional facilities – of which a paid babysitting service, room service, mini gym and sauna are just some – all add to the sense of The Palace Hotel being one of Sliema's finest hotels.
There are no compromises at the Palace Hotel – everything, from the service to the rooms to the restaurants are as good as they can be. The fact that it occupies a prime spot in Malta's premiere holiday destination, Sliema, makes it impossible to resist its charms.
The luxurious 5-star Palace Hotel is located within walking distance of Sliema. This impressive hotel offers guests an enjoyable and memorable stay.
I stayed for 2 nights recently, found the location was good, only a brief walk to most places and has a supermarket within a 5min walk. Room was very decent, good value for money. Was noisy one the Sat night due to a wedding party on 9th floor (I was staying on 7th floor) but this was over around midnight. Staff were very helpful and friendly, and I'd stay there again if in the area.
Apart from a few details, we enjoyed our stay at AX The Palace. These details left us thinking that this hotel ought to be a 4 star instead of a 5.
Our grievances are: the sliding door in our upgraded room was juddering when we tried to close it, the shower was over the bath (5 star usually have both), one of the ladies toilets next to reception had its toilet seat broken off, some of the green glass decorations on the reception desk were missing (looked tatty), we were left without towels and toilet rolls twice. Minor issues were that in our room the armchair looked as though a cat had been sharpening its claws on it and there were stains on the net curtains.
Now they are out of the way it’s only fair that the best thing about the hotel is the staff - from the room cleaners to the reception staff they were friendly and helpful. The pool area has plenty of loungers for a lot of people and there is an adults only area. Food at the hotel is fabulous and in particular the Tempt Asian restaurant (book well in advance).
Location of hotel is great - only five minutes from the promenade There aren’t many restaurants and bars immediately next to the hotel. There is a large branch of a well known supermarket just 100 yards away if you forget any essentials.
A lovely hotel but just needs a bit of upgrading and attention to detail.
Preet and Vijay and Adnan and all the staff were amazing. We had a wonderful stay and the rooms and restaurant were great.
Excellent hotel and staff. Gluten free options available burgers, pasta in talk of the town bar and pool bar. Asian restaurant gluten free options available. Short walk to sea front.bedroom cleaned daily spotless. No issues we will be back.
A lovely stay. Was only here for a few days but very worth staying here. Close to the centre. Friendly staff.
