Victoria Hotel
Malta and Gozo, Europe
Sliema
Classic elegance, rich furnishings and a unique, boutique style elevates the Victoria Hotel in Sliema to one of Malta's finest places to stay. It has a timeless elegance to it, and a traditional service ethic too, so you'll always be very well received and impeccably looked after.
Located in an elevated position on a hill in the heart of Sliema – one of the favourite destinations for holidaymakers – the Victoria Hotel is only a short distance to the seafront promenade – this is where Sliema lives and breathes – in its spectacular coastline, its array of shops and entertainments, and its friendly people.
Treat yourself to a stay at the classically elegant Victoria Hotel in the heart of Sliema:
As well as giving you the opportunity to explore Sliema, and the rich cultural heritage of the nearby capital, Valetta, the Victoria Hotel offers you every opportunity to relax. Benefiting from a quiet location and superb spa facilities, this is somewhere you can really take things easy.
Every care has been taken to make the Victoria Hotel spa as enticing and as luxurious as possible. Spread over two floors, its facilities include a freshwater indoor pool and an outdoor pool, as well as sun terraces, saunas, steam room and treatment rooms offering a wide range of holistic wellbeing treatments. You have no excuse not to feel utterly relaxed.
The same attention is given to guest's rooms at the Victoria Hotel. They are all fully air conditioned and come with extensive facilities to help you feel at home, including satellite TV and radio, direct dial phone, tea/coffee making facilities, minibar and Wi-Fi is available at a fee. Rooms are dressed in classic colonial style and all feature en suite bathrooms too. Why not look at upgrading to a balcony room or suite?. Junior and Deluxe Suites include a walk-in shower, all other rooms consist of a bathtub.
Even the restaurant menus are geared to your wellbeing, with a new healthy eating option available.
At the end of the day we do recommend a visit to the intimate Penny Black Bar, to luxuriate in the exquisite armchairs and while away the evening. Perfection!
Like Sliema, the Victoria Hotel manages to give you a little bit of both sides of Malta. In its refined setting and furnishings, you get a taste of the great devotion to hospitality and a hint of the past; while its facilities bring you right up-to-date.
The hotel is suitable for guests with mobility issues, but please note the hotel is located on a slope.

Fantastic 4* Hotel in Sliema!
My wife and I stayed at this hotel during our honeymoon trip to Malta, and it did not disappoint! As part of our booking, we were given an upgrade to an Executive Room and it was absolutely brilliant. The bed was very spacious, the balcony was just the right size with a table and chairs with a view of the sea and the bathroom was spacious with several toiletries available if you forgot any of your own. They even supplied dressing gowns and slippers free of charge! There was a fridge to keep drinks cool (you could ask for a minibar setup if you wish), a safe for valuables and fresh water every day! The staff were very friendly and approachable and there was no street noise if you kept the balcony door closed (which you need to so you can feel the air conditioning during the warm, summer nights). Breakfast was a buffet-style, with a great selection of American food and local dishes too. They even provided a takeaway bag of food as we were missing the last day of breakfast due to leaving early in the morning, a fantastic gesture! If I have to give any negativity, it’s that the hotel is at the top of a hill, so walking down to the harbour and nightlife is lovely but walking back up can be a bit tiring. Still, a great hotel and one I would return to.

I will be back to stay
The AX Victoria is a fantastic place to stay for your first time in Malta. This was my first solo trip and I have never felt more relaxed and comfortable. The location is fantastic to both Valetta and St Julian’s. The atmosphere on the rooftop pool was amazing, music and friendly staff. One staff member I would like to acknowledge is Ashni, without her warm and caring nature towards me, I could have found my solo experience in Malta completely different, she was extremely helpful on how to get round Malta and the best places to go - Everytime I was greeted by Ashni, she always smiled and was very polite - she made a point of getting to know her guests and remembering about them, I didn’t have to move once for my drinks 😁 Thank you Ashni - you are amazing!
Great First Stay in Malta
We went to Malta for the first time in July for a short break, to celebrate significant birthdays and to see if we would like to return at a later date. We loved it. The hotel is in Sliema and was lovely. A short walk to the seafront where local transport was in abundance. The staff were kind and thoughtful wishing my other half a happy birthday leaving wine in the room and gifting vouchers for cocktails. We went B&B and the breakfasts were plentiful and varied. I also have dietary needs and these were catered for without fuss. We booked an evening meal in their sister hotel (attached) AX Palace and it was lovely and the chef was extremely attentive to my needs and walked me around the entire buffet to explain everything. They even gave me a special dessert without even asking (thoughtful). AX Victoria when we were there were undergoing renovation work in their spa area, so this meant we were unable to use the lift on our floor but we walked through and adjoining door to their sister hotel and used their lift so it was never a problem. We only encountered noise on one day when we were a bit later leaving our room, so to be honest it was never a problem. The AX Victoria is a lovely hotel we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the staff, from the chambermaids, bar staff, waiters and of course front of house we thank you for making our birthdays and stay enjoyable

Disappointing...
Extremely disappointing customer service from a 4-star hotel. The hotel did not respond to our messages. When we finally got through, communication in English was very difficult. Only after our call did the hotel respond to the messages sent the previous day. By then, the cancellation deadline had passed. I understand cancellation policies, but ignoring a guest while there is still time to cancel and then charging them after the deadline has passed is extremely disappointing.
Very poor communication and customer service. Definitely not what I would expect from a 4-star hotel.
Great facilities, location and staff
We had a wonderful 2 week holiday here. The facilities were excellent - pool, bars, gym and room. Great location to enjoy Sliema and at the pool views of the sea and Valletta. Everywhere was vey clean and absolutely all staff were friendly and helpful. We will miss the lovely variety of delicious food for breakfast.
