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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I very much enjoyed this hotel. The staff is very service-forward and helpful. It's quite lovely, the rooms are well-appointed and stylishly decorated. The location is fantastic. My only complaint was that the working condition of all electronic components in the rooms should be checked out - not all of the light switches worked and sometimes the tv would not turn on. But these are really minor complaints, as I would still choose to stay here again on a future visit to Valletta.

Our stay at AX St John Valetta was amazing. The hotel was perfectly located in the historic city center. They serve an excellent breakfast which is worth to mention. Special thanks to the reception staff for their valuable guidance and exceptional restaurant recommendations. The Rampila restaurant and Sotto were both fantastic.
6.0
The hotel is in a great location--very central to Valletta. The room was also clean and well laid out. However, the hotel itself didn't live up to earlier reviews and needs to address some basic issues...
When we arrived and turned on the shower for the first time, the very high-pressure showerhead sprayed straight across the bathroom so we had to use towels to mop up the water from the bathroom floor.
As others have noted, the touchpads to control lighting were often unresponsive. They are also very bright and located on both sides of the bed so we had to cover them at night to sleep.
Since Valletta was getting up to 40° C during our trip, we tried to use the thermostat to cool the room more but the room always stayed at 24° even when we set the temp at 18°. We called the front desk and an engineer came and explained that the room thermostat didn't actually change the AC settings. So why put a thermostat in the room that appears to work but doesn't actually work?
The bulb was failing on one of the three main ceiling lights during most of our stay. We decided to not bother with it but since it was quite obvious, it's not clear why their staff didn't notice it.
The hotel thoughtfully left two bottles of complimentary water the first two days we were there. So when they didn't leave any on the third day, we asked at the front desk and a manager said, "No, the complimentary water is only for arrival, not for everyday. Would you like to buy some?"

Very nice hotel. I was happy wirh my overall experience at the hotel but the touch pad controls for the lights were not always responsive, which could be frustrating if you were trying to turn off the lights to go to sleep. The pillows were way too soft for my liking. These issues would not keep me from returning.

Overall very nice. We mistakenly booked 1 extra night, the website said "talk to the hotel", the hotel said "talk to the website". I know it was my mistake. They could have offered the taxi to the airport. I did not complain, it was my mistake but still... if it were the other way round I would have to pay for the night they did not book by mistake.

The room it’s don’t have, a real window, chairs and table. When we go to the hotel nobody is here, the checkin for the room, we made it from another hotel nearby. At the last day they don’t clean the room so we don’t have toilet paper and shampoo. At the last night somebody from the bar down start for joke the fire alarm and nobody come to tell us anything everybody go out, the Room it’s not like the photos

We stayed at the property last year and had a nice room on the fifth floor. This year we again booked a deluxe room however it was on the first floor at the front of the property directly above the bar. It was extremely noisy with thumping music continuing up to 12:55 am.. we were offered another room however it was a lot smaller and did not have the Maltese balcony. Very disappointing
2.5
The service in this hotel was amazing, and the interior design really made me feel at home. My only complaint is the shower temperature, it constantly fluctuates between normal and boiling hot temperature
