A Stellar hotel with great service, truely worth its 4 stars. Upon being greeted at the front desk for the check-in i was given a complimentary glass of orange juice which was very welcoming. My room was nice and clean and every day there was room service to clean my room, i once even found that some clothes i left on the chair were folded and placed back on my bed which surprised me but it's a very nice gesture. As for food, i took the breakfast buffet once not long before it closed and it was sufficient for me, however i found that there werent any soft-boiled eggs or bacon, it could be that i didnt see it in a rush or it wasnt there. The hotel offers lots of drinking & dining options aswell as many great relaxation facilities! As a last note, i saw that there was some construction happening which brought me some concern but in the end it didnt bother me that much, the construction started and stopped at fair hours so i could still get some good sleep.

Had 7 days at this hotel in April 2025 and had a fabulous time. Arrived at reception to early to get in room, but Camillia booked us in and we were able to put or luggage into secured room. Our room was wonderful, beautiful sea view and was cleaned every day and coffee and tea topped up. We went half-board and wow the food was excellent, so much choice and was presented so well, buffet style, cooked to prefection and restaurant staff very attentive. Reception staff so friendly and always polite, would always acknowledge us as we passed by and would help us whenever they could. Was a little apprehensive when we were informed that there was building work and read some previous reviews before we went which sounded bad, but never bothered us at all, no early morning noise or banging and was not a building site like some reviews had said. We would go back to this hotel again it was brilliant.

Beautiful hotel! Kind service! Good place as well ( Beach in front of the hotel, Supermarket just a 5 minute walk and easy connections to other cities per bus! ) Breakfast was also really good!! There is a construction site right now but it was not disturbing. :)

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, with a balcony offering a breathtaking view of the sea. Watching the sunset in the evening and the sunrise early in the morning was truly magical. The staff was friendly and very helpful — they assisted us in resolving an issue with the agency, which tried to deceive us by booking a standard room with a view of a wall, even though we had paid for a sea-view room. Thanks to the hotel staff, the situation was quickly resolved, and we enjoyed the stunning view we had initially chosen. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely return!

Our stay at Preluna was all we could have wanted. We did 10 days there. Food was good and varied with a themed night every night. Pool side food was better than the lunch option in the hotel but I suspect that because we are still slightly out of season. All staff were very friendly. Special thanks to the assistant restaurant manager (sorry I didn't get your name but you were from Macedonia), you made our stay very welcoming indeed. The restaurant would not run as smoothly without you there. Keep up your ourltstanding service and best wishes.

I recently stayed at the Hotel Kennedy Nova, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a hotel. Here are the main issues I encountered during my stay: Upon entering my room, I immediately noticed the bathtub was filthy. It had visible stains and grime, clearly not cleaned from the previous guest. I had to take a shower in my friends room. The balcony was littered with cigarette butts left behind by a previous guest. It seems like housekeeping completely overlooked this. When I requested that the bathtub be cleaned, the staff responded with the excuse that the necessary cleaning supplies had not yet arrived. This level of service is unacceptable. The towels provided in the room were visibly dirty, making it impossible to feel comfortable using them. The toilet in the bathroom was leaking, causing a puddle of water on the floor throughout my stay. During my two weeks, the fire alarm went off five to six times. Each time, it disrupted my plans and sleep. No clear explanation was provided for these incidents. The breakfast was unappetizing and of very poor quality. It seemed like minimal effort was made to ensure guests had a decent start to their day. Throughout my stay, the staff at the front desk were unhelpful and unfriendly, treating my concerns with indifference. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. The lack of cleanliness, unprofessional staff, and constant disruptions made it impossible to enjoy my stay. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone and strongly advise looking elsewhere.

ROUNDABOUT

I rarely write negative reviews, but my stay at Hotel Kennedy Nova in Malta was truly awful. The breakfast was the worst I’ve ever had. The scrambled eggs were swimming in some strange liquid, completely inedible and tasted like something from a gas station. The potatoes were undercooked and raw in the center. The toaster was broken and burned everything. Even the milk for the cereal was warm every single day – clearly not refrigerated. The room was just as bad. The doors squeaked loudly and woke us up every night. Other guests were shouting in the hallways, slamming doors, and running around, and no hotel staff ever stepped in. Our toilet seat was broken and slammed into our backs whenever we used it. At one point, green liquid started dripping from the ceiling – absolutely disgusting. To make things worse, there was a fire alarm going off almost every day. A loud ringing would start out of nowhere, followed by all the doors in the corridor slamming shut with a bang. This wasn’t due to an actual emergency – the alarm was just overly sensitive and would get triggered by something as simple as steam from a shower. It was disturbing and completely unnecessary. Fresh towels were only available at a specific time of day, which made no sense. Our balcony door didn’t open properly, so we couldn’t even get proper light into the room. And worst of all, the older man at the front desk made creepy and inappropriate comments towards women – completely unacceptable. Avoid this hotel if you value your comfort, safety, or basic hygiene. There are far better places to stay in Malta.

By far the worst hotel I have ever been to. This is supposed to be 4 stars? It doesn't even qualify for 1 star. Most hostels in Europe are of a higher standard than this. The rooms are completely outdated. Shower with no shower adjustment. I won't mention the view from the window, because you can feel like you're in a well. Food completely inedible, unpalatable. The staff put the food on a plate, there is no self-service. The choice of dishes is a disaster. Pasta, potatoes, 1 type of meat and some vegetables. That's all there was for dinner. A hotel full of pathological youths, running around the corridors until 2am. They were shouting and slamming doors so much every few minutes that no one on the whole floor slept a wink. There was no possibility of any kind of rest. A nightmare is an understatement. Where is the staff? Security? Nobody reacts... I felt like I was in some kind of prison or juvenile detention centre for young people with mental problems. I advise everyone against staying at this facility. It makes a mockery of people that such a thing even operates. I'm curious as to how they got 4 stars, because I think all the 3 star hotels in Egypt or other third world countries are of a much higher standard.

The worst experience on my life.This hotel has cockroaches and mosquitoes. One big man with a stick hit door and the walls (he was 2 metres tall).The food was very poor, the worst food in the world.I put one star because I didn't have 0 stars. The hair dryer is very bad wasn't working properly. The pack lunch always had a lettuce I hate the lettuce and it was dirty with soil. The bedsheets were dirty. I went with a excursion with my school and they put the blame on us about the noise some other people were making in some other room.

It is not a 4 stars hotel. The location is good, everthying is next to the hotel( Food Spots, the sea, bus station, souvenirs )but I expect more for the price. The rooms are a little bit dusty and the AC doesn‘t work proberly. The most disapointing think was that the room doesn‘t have a window to the outside. The patio window looks out onto the inner courtyard, so there was almost no air. The food was also not that good. Almost always the same food. And most of the time the food was too greasy. Also in the nights it was to loud, there was always a noise.Especially in the late evening I couldn‘t sleep beacause of the noise ( people speaking or screaming). But I need to say that the workers were really kind and helpful.

Extremely happy with our visit and the service provided. The reception staff were outstanding and in particular - Charles at breakfast service, really made our stay memorable. My wife and I really enjoyed his smile in the morning and his efforts in making our stay special. Each morning he would ask us if we would like our special dietary needs met. (In our case Halal sausages). We Can’t wait to return! Many thanks

Our stay had some pleasant moments, but unfortunately we felt quite misled. We booked this hotel, but upon arrival we were told we had received a "free upgrade" to a room at AX The Palace (5 stars). Unfortunately, this gift turned out to be a bit of a poisoned chalice. The room we were given was on the 8th floor, right below the rooftop pool. This meant we could hear a lot of noise, especially early in the morning and in the evening, with chairs constantly being dragged around. Even worse was the constant sound of a motor (presumably from the pool) right on our balcony, making noise 24/7. Thankfully I brought earplugs — otherwise, with my light sleep, I wouldn’t have been able to rest at all. Another negative (and frankly a bit ridiculous) aspect was that despite the so-called upgrade, we were not allowed to have breakfast at The Palace and had to go to the Victoria instead, which felt inconsistent and somewhat uncomfortable. That said, the room itself was beautiful, the bed extremely comfortable, and the bathroom very well equipped. It’s just a shame the noise and breakfast situation took away from what could have been a truly great experience.

I stayed for 3 nights and it was a lovely experience. The room was very spacious and clean. I had breakfast each morning and was impressed with the amount of food on offer. The fresh fruit and fresh bread were excellent. I appreciated they had soya and almond milk, so I could have a nice coffee each morning too. Only one small thing that didn't work well was the kettle in my room, the lid must have been damaged as it wouldn't stay closed, if you boiled it you had to weigh it down with something or it would boil forever, it wasn't a huge issue though, I just used it a few times. The little gift shop inside the hotel was also handy and had some nice things. Staff were all friendly and overall this was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in for a while. I would happily stay here again in the future :)

We stayed at AX Hotel Victoria in March, and our experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the modern and elegant design of the hotel, as well as the warm welcome from the staff. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and we immediately felt at home. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after long days of exploring. The amenities were excellent, including high-quality toiletries, a well-stocked minibar, and a coffee station. We also had a wonderful view, which made our stay even more special. Breakfast was another highlight of our visit. The selection was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. From pastries to hot dishes and fresh fruit, there was something for everyone. The service at breakfast was also excellent, with attentive and friendly staff making sure we had everything we needed. The hotel’s location is perfect for anyone wanting to explore the city. Many attractions, restaurants, and shops were within walking distance, making it very convenient. We loved being able to step out and easily reach everything we wanted to see. One small downside was the indoor pool area. While the facilities themselves were well-maintained and inviting, some guests unfortunately did not behave appropriately, which slightly affected the relaxing atmosphere. While this is not the hotel’s fault, a bit more supervision or clearer rules could help improve the experience for all guests. Despite this minor issue, our overall experience at AX Hotel Victoria was outstanding. The exceptional service, attention to detail, and overall comfort made our stay truly memorable. We would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a high-quality stay in the area. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so special – we can’t wait to come back!

I was there with my 2 daughters in winter (which was a comfortable 16 degrees and sun in Malta). We enjoyed the indoor pool (although it was a tad small). The staff were all super friendly. We had half board and dinner at tabloid was great. The waiter from Nepal (sorry I don't remember his name) was exceptional and so friendly and polite and great with the kids. The lovely man working the bar at Penny black was also great, Christian I believe? We had a lovely stay, thank you. Sauna could be warmer though!

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.

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.

Checked in at The Palace yesterday, had a bit of issue with the room I was given. Talked to Miss Rana at the reception who has done more than I'd imagined to help me out. Every single staff member I've come across so far has been friendly, attentive and super polite, special shout out to Miss Rana and the house keeping team. I wouldn't say this is the best five star hotel I've stayed at facility wise but the staff here are world class, they are the true assets of this place. I am sure I will be sulking when it's time to go home!

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.

We stayed at AX The Palace Hotel in Malta for four nights and honestly had a great experience. The location is perfect, the restaurant was really good, and the staff were super friendly, polite and always happy to help. Our room was spacious, which was ideal for the three of us — especially with our 17-year-old son. The beds were large, super comfy, and the room was kept spotless thanks to the excellent daily housekeeping. The rooftop pool was a real highlight — a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. That said, there were just a couple of things that could definitely be improved. The Wi-Fi was pretty terrible — so bad that we ended up using mobile data most of the time. Also, the pool towels had quite a bad smell, which was a bit disappointing. Apart from these small issues, everything else was spot on, and we really enjoyed our stay. If they sort out the Wi-Fi and the towels, this hotel would be hard to beat!
