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.

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!

I normally down write reviews about hotels but the experience at this one was so particularly bad I feel like I have to share. While communicating with this hotel we given false information about the property itself and its amenities. Upon arrival we were greeted with inconsiderate staff and receptionists. The facilities at this hotel were not clean and obviously not maintained well. After dropping our bags and waiting for check in we had lunch down the street and noticed about 5 other hotels, all nicer and better maintained. Quite disappointed with this we ignored it and said we would wait to see how nice the beach pool area was, which was the main and only reason we chose the Preluna Hotel. To our incredible disappointment and anger, the pool and restaurant bar were closed and filled with garbage and filth. The pool was the main reason we booked at this hotel and we had called 3 TIMES before check in to make sure that it was open during are stay. When we went to complain to the front they were rude and unhelpful utterly unprofessional. we decided to go find a hotel elsewhere for our stay because we were uncertain with how the cleanliness of the rooms would be. We asked for a refund and to talk with the manager but were once again rudely brushed off, we just took our struggles as a sign to move on, counted our losses, and moved into a better hotel which was so much more beautiful! Malta itself is stunning and has so many incredible cheap hotels so I would absolutely recommend staying away from this one. Hope this helps someone who is considering finding a place to stay in malta!

This is a wonderful hotel with lovely staff throughout and good choices of food. Paying for a seaview room is definitely recommended. However unfortunately I can't award 5 stars as there was only 1 working lift which results in long waits trying to get in and out of your room. And as the previous poster said the attention to detail on the cleaning was poor. The cleaners were lovely and replaced everything daily, however the shower screen, fridge door, balcony,bath tiles and many other places remained stained and dirty throughout our stay. It wasn't just the room as the lift, outside of our door and the areas in the lounge, dining room and the downstairs toilet just weren't cleaned thoroughly in 3 weeks. I didn't see a head housekeeper doing inspections as I would have expected. It really needs to be addressed. All in all despite the ongoing work and poor attention to housekeeping I would always recommend this hotel.

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.

Wow a 2.3 over all rating ? I don’t understand . The food from the restaurant was absolutely amazing ! It’s right next to the beach ! You can leave the balcony door open and just listening to the sound of beautiful waves all day and night what more could you ask for

It is a very modest hotel. You get what you paid for really. Nothing much, bed is okay, pretty clean. Breakfast buffet is meh. The extra bed is literally just a portable bed. But the surrounding is pretty okay. They have restaurant, cafe, bubble tea and Starbucks.

The location of the hotel is nice, you’re not even 15min from the port which brings you to Valletta. The breakfast of the hotel is really nice as well as the fitness that is very good equipped. The rooms are not very clean and there is a horrible smell of canalization in them. The service was ok. Overall not too bad but not the best hotel in Sliema.

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!

A nice and clean hotel. The authenticity of the lobby combined with the modern design of the rooms add a special charm. Comfortable beds, a spacious bathroom, a refrigerator, tea accessories, even a shower cap;) There is an indoor pool, a gym and a spa. Normal soundproofing. A variety of products for breakfast. Friendly staff: you can really feel the care and attention of the hotel staff. I would like to separately note Victoria (it so happened that we communicated with her more often than with other reception staff). And special words of gratitude for the positivity, attention and professionalism addressed to the charming Oksana, who works in the bar! Thanks to all the hotel staff for a pleasant stay in Malta!

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!

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.

Excellent location in Sliema. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The bed was comfortable and huge! (two doubles put together). All facilities were very clean. We enjoyed our stay but have not given full 5 stars as our air con didn’t work properly so the room was often too warm. Also the indoor poor is advertised in the welcome brochure/website as being open until 9pm, but when we visited at 8pm it was closed. We did enjoy the indoor pool on a different day though and the facilities with sauna and steam room were lovely.

Our stay at AX Palace Malta was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The hotel itself is stunning, offering a perfect balance of luxury and coziness. Our room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The housekeeping team did an excellent job of maintaining cleanliness and comfort throughout our visit. We were particularly impressed with the exceptional service—every staff member we encountered was polite, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our experience memorable. Whether at the reception, restaurant, or spa, we always felt well taken care of. Speaking of the restaurant, the dining experience was exquisite! The food was fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. The breakfast selection was varied and catered to all tastes, providing a great start to each day. The hotel’s location is also ideal, offering easy access to key attractions, shopping areas, and public transport. Plus, the facilities, including the rooftop pool and spa, added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our time at AX Palace Malta. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a top-tier experience in Malta. We will definitely be returning in the future!

This is a good Hotel with excellent staff and service. The room is very spacious, clean with good facilities. The Hotel has a rooftop pool and an indoor pool as well, with a steam room and sauna, all free to use. The location is brilliant and a walking distance to the marina and city centre. We spent 5 nights at the hotel in February and would definitely stay there again.

Natalia Natalia

Great location. The standard room is quite spacious. Bath. Slippers. Robe. The cheapest coffee and tea in the room. No clothes dryer. The ringing of bells outside the window. The staff is very polite and helpful. There is an indoor pool, but it is quite small. Many shops around. Overall everything is good, but I'm not sure that this hotel is worth 5 stars.
