AX The Victoria Hotel

Just returned home from 3 days at this hotel with friends and it was great. All the staff were pleasant and friendly, the staff in the tabloid restaurant in the evening were especially welcoming and friendly. We went out exploring in the mornings and came back to the rooftop pool at around 2pm each day and always found sunbeds and they provide towels there too. We always took advantage of the happy hour cocktails as well! The restaurants and pool are shared with the sister hotel The Palace. We stayed on a half board basis and as 3 vegetarians we always managed to find something to eat at breakfast, however options were slightly more limited at the very fancy Tabloid restaurant, but again we always managed to eat something. The room was tidy and the beds were comfortable enough, we ended up taking the two chairs and small table out of the balcony as it was such a tight squeeze, but we weren’t sure if we’d have a balcony when we booked so it was a pleasant surprise anyway! They refill a jug of water for you each day, and there’s a small fridge, safe and tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The location is down a quiet road but there are shops (Lidl 2 mins away) and bars (we went to Hole in the Wall and liked it there), and I’d say it’s about a 10 minute walk to the promenade where you can get a ferry to Valletta. Overall we had a pleasant experience and would recommend to anyone considering staying here. Thank you!
