It doesn’t get much better than this, from the pool location, to the spa, the food and the service, it was amazing. The location means you can get buses, taxis or boats to anywhere on the island. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Perfect!

Reviewed By Lockers312

Stayed here Thursday to Monday, having booked a standard balcony room. Charles on reception who was amazing organised a complementary upgrade for our wedding anniversary and a complimentary cocktail each at the sister Hotels bar. The Victoria is a beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean, customer service was some of the best I've experienced. Nothing was too much trouble anyone, everyone was friendly. Our superior room had a huge bed, lovely balcony, bathroom with a bath, tea and coffee making facilities and bottled water which was replenished daily. We had booked half board and thought we would probably not have dinner as wasn't expecting too much. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was excellent, fresh, hot replenished. We had dinner two evenings which was equally hot and fresh and tasty. We were very lucky that our other two nights dinner was served in The Palace, the 5 star sister hotel next door. This was a different level food wise, we had Lebanese night which was some of the best food we had in Malta, the other night the fresh seafood starters were amazing, mussels, clams, razor clams, tiger prawns, no expense spared. The half board dinner also includes half a bottle of wine each and a bottle of water which was a lovely wine. The hotel has an amazing rooftop infinity pool, indoor pool, spa and a range of bars and speciality restaurant as well. The hotels are excellently situated, a short stroll down to Sliema Ferry where you can get the ferry to Valetta and to the bus stops where you can get round the whole island. Lots of bars, restaurants and shops. We cannot wait to return and will definitely be staying at The Victoria again, thanks again to Charles for his excellent service and the waiters in the restaurant, there was one in particular but I didn't catch his name.

Great location

Reviewed By wiganfujiman

Hotel is in a fantastic location right in the heart of things. Its very modern and immaculately clean, you can even smell the cleanliness once you step foot inside! The rooms are modern and clean but a little on the small side. The room had a balcony but this was tiny and we didn't make use of it because of its size. The rooftop breakfast area was great offering beautiful views over the harbour and the same at night with a night cap. The breakfast was so so but adequate. We ate in the hotel restaurant once and had a very good meal. There is a small coffee shop attached to the hotel that I'd recommend a visit to. The staff are welcoming and rooms cleaned daily. Rating would have been 5* if the balcony was better / larger.

Stayed at the palace a few times and looked forward to my glass of bubbly at breakfast this morning on my first day only to find it was no more!! Very disappointing AX as this made you stand out. Very sad indeed as I’m sure this was not a costly thing to pride..

Great rooms in super location

Reviewed By PWMcg

A pleasant hotel in a great location. Rooms are large and well decorated and furnished with large bed and a sofa and table. Cleaned and serviced well each day. There is a mini fridge which was useful to put in soft drinks and wine and beer to drink on the ample terrace overlooking the harbour - fantastic view over to Valletta and the Sliema harbour. The hotel also provided shower gel and soap so no need to bring your own which saves weight on plane. The hotel location is super being in the centre of Sliema seafront amongst the restaurants and bars. And surprisingly there is no noise or disturbance from them when in the room. Reception are helpful. Breakfast at 8 euros is well worth it with a selection of hot and cold choices. The restaurant is on the 8th floor with great views over the harbour. The only thing was no English breakfast tea or black tea bags available. We had to bring some from our room!! There are the two very small and slow lifts which could do with upgrading. The roof terrace was not open as it was being improved so there was no sunbathing area or jacuzzi open which was disappointing. Overall this hotel offers good accommodation at a reasonable price in a great location.
