From our arrival the hotel was welcoming and wonderful. The staff attentive and alert. The hospitality is top notch. We only stayed one night before our flight home. However, we will consider staying longer the next time we visit Malta. Thank you so much for the warm welcome.

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.

It was wonderful and the staff was exceptional. Unfortunately the last night the pipe which serviced water in our bathroom had a leak and thus we had no water for a shower or to flush the toilet

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great stay at AX St. John’s. The room was ideal for a family, with two separate sections, each with its own bed, desk, TV, and bathroom. Everything was spotless, the staff were amazing, and the location is perfect—most attractions are within a 5–10 minute walk. Highly recommend!
