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.

Our room was on the fourth floor with a small balcony and a good view of the church. The church bells rang but the double glazing minimised the sound. Loved the room with 2 massive single beds, spacious and extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast excellent and all staff very friendly and efficient. Rooftop pool area spacious and kept tidy, with a great bar. The area is great, easy to walk around (a bit hilly but not an issue for us) and a mix of old and new; also a quick hop on the ferry to Valletta. Loads of eating options around - and also in the hotel tho we didn’t eat in. I’d definitely come back to this hotel.

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.

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.
