Sliema
Classic elegance, rich furnishings and a unique, boutique style elevates the Victoria Hotel in Sliema to one of Malta's finest places to stay. It has a timeless elegance to it, and a traditional service ethic too, so you'll always be very well received and impeccably looked after.
Located in an elevated position on a hill in the heart of Sliema – one of the favourite destinations for holidaymakers – the Victoria Hotel is only a short distance to the seafront promenade – this is where Sliema lives and breathes – in its spectacular coastline, its array of shops and entertainments, and its friendly people.
Treat yourself to a stay at the classically elegant Victoria Hotel in the heart of Sliema:
As well as giving you the opportunity to explore Sliema, and the rich cultural heritage of the nearby capital, Valetta, the Victoria Hotel offers you every opportunity to relax. Benefiting from a quiet location and superb spa facilities, this is somewhere you can really take things easy.
Every care has been taken to make the Victoria Hotel spa as enticing and as luxurious as possible. Spread over two floors, its facilities include a freshwater indoor pool and an outdoor pool, as well as sun terraces, saunas, steam room and treatment rooms offering a wide range of holistic wellbeing treatments. You have no excuse not to feel utterly relaxed.
The same attention is given to guest's rooms at the Victoria Hotel. They are all fully air conditioned and come with extensive facilities to help you feel at home, including satellite TV and radio, direct dial phone, tea/coffee making facilities, minibar and Wi-Fi is available at a fee. Rooms are dressed in classic colonial style and all feature en suite bathrooms too. Why not look at upgrading to a balcony room or suite?. Junior and Deluxe Suites include a walk-in shower, all other rooms consist of a bathtub.
Even the restaurant menus are geared to your wellbeing, with a new healthy eating option available.
At the end of the day we do recommend a visit to the intimate Penny Black Bar, to luxuriate in the exquisite armchairs and while away the evening. Perfection!
Like Sliema, the Victoria Hotel manages to give you a little bit of both sides of Malta. In its refined setting and furnishings, you get a taste of the great devotion to hospitality and a hint of the past; while its facilities bring you right up-to-date.
The hotel is suitable for guests with mobility issues, but please note the hotel is located on a slope.

Superb hotel
So glad we booked this hotel for our first time to Malta, we had 10 nights & it was just perfect. The Victoria is centrally located within a 10 minute walk to the harbour & ferries & about the same to the Mediterranean sea on the other side. The hotel rooms are spacious & clean with a big bed, mini fridge,AC, TV, iron & board and a balcony. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices of hot & cold food to choose from. There are 2 rooftop pools which share with Ax the Palace next door, plenty of sunbeds, pool bar for drinks & snacks and a nice view of Valletta & St Julian's. The standout of this hotel though has to be the staff, all of them are so welcoming, professional & hard working, thank you for the cocktails vouchers for my birthday, you all are a credit. Overall we had a fabulous stay at this hotel & would not hesitate to book again if we come to Malta.

Ax Victoria
What a wonderful hotel from Reception staff, Charles who was always on the desk at breakfast greeting us with a smile. The bar staff quickly remembered our drinks order. Air Conditioning was so necessary and very welcome after each trip out. Our evening meal was slightly different in having to go along a corridor to the parent hotel but the welcome was the same and the 3 course buffet was amazing especially as it included half a bottle of wine and water each (with the option for a soft drink or beer for non wine drinker). Roof top pool and adult only terrace was relaxing, just had to remember to take bank card as no cash is used. We both highly recommend this hotel
Mostly positive
Great location to explore. Local vicinity included some beautiful maltese streets and churches. Loved the bells and fireworks that could be seen and heard daily.
Lidl 2 minutes away. Great gym with a squat rack. Smith machine, free weights up to 25kg, 2 cable stations, various cardio equipment and a full size punchbag.
Nice breakfast and decent pool bar. Adults only pool best quiet location for catching the rays and stunning views from both pools. Sliema is quite big so take time to explore and get bearings but all really cental from hotel.
Tried lots of maltese/seafood restaurants...il merril, ta kris, calle bistro, ta kolina, lina's...all great.
Valetta is stunning! As is Mdina/Rabat...get an uber early a.m. and beat the crowds but even then some streets are deserted and beautiful. 3 city harbour tour is fab...90 mins and gorgeous. Also worth getting bus from rabat to mosta.
Hotel really nice. Great aircon and as mentioned nice breakfast and fab gym. Room nice. Always a sunbed available too somewhere on the roof terrace. Room cleaning top notch and pool towels available daily.
Really want to give 5 stars...alas lock on bathroom door was iffy...reception thought we were only staying for 7 nights to begin with rather than 11...there was almost 3 days of jack hammering on the floor above to fix issue with indoor pool...appreciate that this can't be helped but there was no communication given to anyone, a note under the door would have sufficed, it was mostly through the day so not a great deal... water did leak into our room which went on some of our clothes whether that was from said pool unsure...it was quickly dealt with but there was no offer to take away and wash the clothes which tbh I expected out of common courtesy.
Talking of courtesy there was no courtesy room available to use before our late evening flight. We approached reception a few days prior and we were told that they would look into it and to mention again at checkout and recieve details...however we were told on our last day to use the pool showers...obviously this meant our last day and lasting memories ended on a somewhat sticky note! What a shame.
Great hotel
From the moment we checked in the staff were amazing. So funny and friendly and full of helpful advice. The room was clean and serviced every day. The rooftop pool was great and big enough and the staff were fantastic. It's also great for watching the sunset and even though it's right next door to the hospital but you'd never know it was there. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Was nice to go somewhere that doesn't over charge you. We paid about €5 for a glass of wine. Breakfast was lovely with loads of choice. Valetta isn't far and fairly cheap in a bolt taxi. Id definitely go again.

Amazing hotel find
What an amazing find. Hotel is clean and tidy with fantastic staff. Reception staff are friendly and helpful but the most helpful person was Charles in the hotels’s breakfast room. He went above and beyond to help with my diary intolerance sourcing soya yoghurts from the kitchen. Being Maltese je was able to suggest things to do and places to visit. Would highly recommend a stay here
