Excellent stay

Our stay at AX The Palace was simply excellent. The facilities are outstanding and the views from the roof top pool are stunning. We ate half board at the Tabloid buffet restaurant throughout our stay and the choice on offer was fantastic. One great plus point is that if you opt for the half board option via Hotels.com, then wine, beer and water are included with your meal, making this a very cost effective option. I highly recommend a stay at AX The Palace and would not hesitate to stay here again on a return trip to Malta.

Really relaxing and enjoyable

The hotel was in a great position, the food was excellent, both breakfast, buffet or in the talk of the town restaurant. I would be really happy to stay again. I had really good nights sleep, the beds and pillows were so comfortable.

The hotel was nice but would benefit with a valet parking since the streets are so so tight and the parking is even more tight
Stanislav, 3-night trip

Great location. Spacious rooms, clean and efficient staff. In my view it isn't a 5 star hotel, it's very tired in places but other than that it's great.

Beautiful Hotel

Hotel room was big. The upgraded us because we had originally booked a comfort room which are apparently interior facing. Beautiful roof top and breakfast area. Pool was great and the hotel is a quick walk to the beach. We didnt realize that the outlets would be british but our North American chargers worked in the outlets! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful with all our requests.

Another great stay at AX The Palace Hotel

As always, our stay was enjoyable. The room was very spacious, even as a triple, and very clean. Breakfast and dinner are very abundant and good value for money. The staff was really nice and friendly, playing with my six-year-old granddaughter. in fact I dare to say that my experience was better than the previous ones.

Huge bed, nice clean rooms. Staff excellent and went out of their way to be extra helpful. Didn't eat in the hotel, but breakfasts were good, if rather busy (which shows it is a popular hotel). Would go back there again.
