The view from a room depends on its category. Deluxe Rooms, between the 1st and 4th floors, have private balconies over the Sliema townscape. Superior Rooms, on the 5th, 6th and 8th floors, have private balconies with views towards the distant sea.
Executive Rooms are on the 7th floor. Junior Suites, on the upper floors, have a private terrace with sun loungers and a view of Valletta Harbour.
Two suites add a private hot tub: the Superior Suite and the Music Suite, where the tub is on the terrace. The hotel also lists Family Comfort Rooms.

AX The PalaceThings to do
The town
Sliema is a town of apartment blocks on a low peninsula, across Marsamxett Harbour from Valletta. Its draw is the shore: rock to swim from, a promenade round the point, and the boat to the capital.
For a seafront base, yes. Valletta is a short ferry ride across the harbour.
