Great place to stay

A little bit hard to find but they gave excellent instructions. Beautiful little place, quiet, clean, safe.

John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful experience from check in to check out. Very clean and comfortable room with well appointed bathroom. Our check in was seamless and Amal was a standout member of the team who made us feel very welcome and provided us with really useful information about what to do and where to eat. Very happy with our stay and highly recommend the hotel.

Rupert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not the best but great location

No outside window made the room very dark so wouldn’t stay again. Staff were lovely and so was breakfast but no facilities and not made aware of whether we could use facilities in sister hotel. Superb location for sites and restaurants and bars though.

Cath, 1-night trip

The staff are absolutely brilliant

We had a little hiccup with our room initially and the reception staff dealt with it immediately and decisively. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming nothing is too much trouble they make this a fabulous place to stay

All perfect.
Craig, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was lovely - small and quiet. It is a sister hotel to the AX Rosselli which covered the check in, check out and breakfast. The real stars of the stay were the staff. They were all so welcoming, professional and accommodating. Honestly, it is the top notch service which would encourage me to return.
Jasdeep, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful hotel. The concierge was amazing - we arrived late at night and he was watching for us! The room is wonderfully appointed - much more luxurious than we expected for this price. We wish we were staying longer instead of catching a cruise today.
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is fantastic. Well placed for everything. Rooms extremely comfortable ( mine was 504) had its own balcony, the only one, and was nice to sit out. Not the best views but you can see the med and several nice spires. Staff are amazingly kind and helpful. This is not the cheapest but I feel is the best.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was excellent and helpful. Room was spacious. Area was way too noisy with blaring music. Breakfast was expensive and not worth the money. But very central to everything in Valletta.
Tasia, 17-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Chic. Clean. Central. Safe. All I needed for a short break.
Temitope, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely and new - a few teething problems.

A few teething problems - only to be expected as it's so new - you could not access the reception from the bar/restaurant - you had to walk around the outside - The TV froze on one picture - the light controls for the room were not working - but everyone was keen to hear what we were saying. We are sure it will iron out these small issues very soon. We had a room onto the inner courtyard - the noise travelled up easily - rooms on the outside of the property may have been quieter.

Exceptional Hotel

I recently stayed at the AX Saint John Hotel in Valletta, and it exceeded all my expectations. This beautifully modern hotel is not only well-built but also superbly insulated, ensuring a quiet and peaceful stay. The staff were incredible, offering exceptional friendliness and service. On my birthday, they surprised me with a lovely letter and a bottle of prosecco, making my stay even more special. The bathroom was immaculate, well-lit, and regularly serviced, adding to the comfort of my stay. The hotel's unique hydration stations – available in the room, just outside, and at the entrance – were a fantastic touch, ensuring I stayed refreshed throughout my visit. The continental breakfast was delicious and super filling, providing a great start to my day. One of the highlights was the detailed map and thorough explanation of places to visit in Valletta and across Malta provided by the staff. Their local insights were invaluable and truly enhanced my trip. In summary, the AX Saint John Hotel is a perfect blend of modern luxury and impeccable service. Whether you are visiting for a special occasion or just need a relaxing getaway, this hotel delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again. 10/10.

Posizione ottima

L’hotel è una dependance dell’hotel Rossini poco distante. La posizione è strategica ma la camera non mi è piaciuta. Aveva una sola finestra interna e quella del bagno non si apriva. Ho avuto la sensazione di essere in prigione. Camera abbastanza piccola ma la colazione molto buona.
