Victoria

For my holiday to Malta I decided to try this hotel. The hotel was far better than previous hotels I have stayed at in Sliema. The staff were all friendly especially the receptionist and the cleaner. The roof top pool area is very smart with good views. Breakfast was in the Victoria hotel with dinner in the adjoining Palace hotel. Half board was very worth it with free wine with dinner! There was also a good selection for breakfast. The room was modern with a small balcony. There is a bit of a hill to walk up and down from the hotel with a couple of bars on the promenade at the bottom of it. I would definitely come back to Malta and come back to the Victoria.

Fantastic service and food, dealt with my food allergies brilliantly and I felt very safe eating there. Rooms and facilities perfect as well.

We stayed here for 10 nights having stayed here before around 15 years ago. Not a lot has changed, but that’s  not a bad thing. The Reception area is airy and welcoming and the room we had was comfortable. We were upgraded from a classic room to one with a balcony which was nice although the balcony was tiny (see photo). Air conditioning in the room was decent and the beds were comfortable and we slept well. Bathroom was clean and a good size with the shower above the bath. The only issue we had during our stay was with towels as there were numerous days  when fresh towels were not left in the room and we had to chase. Breakfast was better than we expected with cooked food available and buffet style. Overall it was very good with an egg station for omlettes and although cooked the sausages looked after little pale and put me off having them. The hotel is 4 star rated but shares the facilities with the adjoing 5 star sister hotel AX Palace. To be honest  unless the bedrooms in The Palace are significantly better I’m unsure why people would book there instead of staying at The Victoria. It is fair to say though that The Palace is bigger and looks more luxurious. There are several restaurants across the hotels with the Temptasian one offering lovely views over Valetta and delicious food although a little pricey. We received excellent and friendly service from  Romabel when we ate there. The location of the hotel is perfect and there are rooftop pools with bars areas to grab a refreshing drink. Note that the rooftop bars do not take cash, only card and signing to your room if you have added a card to your room at check-in. Other than the towels issue, service was excellent and friendly. Would we come back here? Definitely. Happy to answer any questions if I get alerts from TripAdvisor.
