InterContinental Malta Review

I do not recommend it. Price not justified. Poor service.

Great hotel. Staff absolutely fantastic nothing too much trouble and always service with a smile and politeness. Cool central location with plenty of options for food and drink never far away. Our second visit coming to an end on Tuesday hope to be back again soon.

Very large hotel, a little dated but probably one of the best in the area. Definitely not at 5 star levels. In any case, a good solution.

Great location at st. Julian. There is a casino at the hotel. Big and cleane rooms. (You have to ask for the refurbished rooms) great rich breakfast.

Great hotel. I stay in lots of IHG hotels and this is to the Intercontinental brand standard. Pools, beachfront, food, staff, great gym. Close to lots of local shops and restaurants.

One challenge: why does the turndown service only show up every second night?!

Very expensive for what you get. Half of the rooms are looking on a dull street with offices and construction workers. The ones facing the inner court are not better off as the pool and its surroundings look drab. Also, St Julian's is a crowded place to get in and out to, so take your time to travel to the city center or the airport. The rooms are ok and clean but the decoration looks of low quality and taste.

Delightful stay. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food in the waterbiscuit restaurant was amazing.

Superb hotel, beautiful surroundings: everything on site and even a small beach.

Simple and efficient, not very big but there is a choice

Only here for one night, so all our time was spent on on level 19, Skybeach. Amazing infinity pool with great cocktails. We did not book a space before hand, but the staff were more than happy to accommodate us, and actually moved us to a spot right next to the pool when it became available! I would recommend booking beforehand if you can!

Room was also upgraded to a recently updated club room on the 14th floor which included a nice balcony. TV did seem a little out of place in the room (old 28" Phillips model) possibly not updated at the same time as the room?! Also tea and coffee facilities were missing? Both however are minor points, and would recommend staying here

Very good hotel as usual, just the deposit is still pending refund which I thought would be quicker.

Wow!
Strategic point to visit Malta.
Good service!
Points to improve the cleanliness of the rooms!

nice hotel , and have good breakfast you have good chosen food buffet

Great facilities and great location. If you're looking for a good-priced hotel with great facilities in the heart of the entertainment, you're right here. People that are allergic for noise, better book another hotel, as it's quite noisy here, inside and outside the hotel. Rooms are a bit outdated.

In general I enjoyed my stay here and I would like to compliment the staff. They are friendly and professional.

Great hotel
Equipped with everything.
New and elegant.

Room with damp smell with wet sheet feel pity hotel pleasant despite being flat intolerable for a four-star

This is the central party location in Malta for lower class / people on welfare from the UK. Every night (and especially on Sunday after a game ) the streets are full of drunken British , singing and chanting football songs. We couldn't sleep for 3 nights , even though we were on the 11th floor !!! The noise somehow ricochetes off the street and you hear everything. Oddly enough you wont see these people anywhere else but here and in the Blue lagoon. The Intercontinental staff cant do anything about the noise complaints and neither can the police. I suppose nobody will refuse tourists' money.

One day some guy was "burning rubber " on the small street in front of the hotel , slid about with his BMW and almost crashed. Nobody noted his plate number or did anything.

There are 3 strip clubs in that area and plenty of bars if that's what you're looking for. All of them look very low class /shady, except for Hugo's.


The hotel has access to a "beach" , which is next to a crossroad/roundabout, so dont expect to relax there.

If you are planning a relaxing / romantic/ family /couple type of holiday do not book Intercontinental . It would be the biggest mistake you could make. Try Gozo and the northern part of Malta for such vacations. Much cheaper and for the money , you're going to save ( Intercontinental is 5 stars , so a bit more expensive than other hotels ) take a rental car for 20 25 euro/day.
Public transport in Malta during the season is a joke and you will need 40 minutes from St Julian to the ferry station for Valetta.
The area around the hotel is well connected in terms of bus lines, but dont expect comfort.
On the plus side their gym is great and they offer good breakfast.

All in all a good hotel located in a terrible location, which forced us to check out prematurely and seek refuge on the northern part of the isle.

Would have given them a 5, but the elevators did not work very well

The breakfast is of good quality despite a little slow service.

A very good venue for organising conferences. Well equipped and the food for the standing lunch is good as well. Security system keeps the place secured and the staff are helpful.

Very disappointing ... The hotel with a good name made me very disappointed. The entire building seems very old. The two rooms I saw were damp, mold visible in some areas and with a very unpleasant, musty smell. In addition, the cleanliness of the room was not acceptable (stains on the bed and on the upholstery, hair in the bathroom, etc). I checked out early after one night and stayed in another hotel.

Lovely staff. Great food. Needs maintenance in many areas. They are trying to retain 5 stars but it really doesn't Warrent the whole hotel.

FAO The Manager,

Dear Sir, my friend and I spent some time recently, 24th -28th May at your St Julien's Hotel. The service was excellent and I was quite touched when your reception staff noted from my passport I had just celebrated my 80th birthday. I was delighted to receive a short while later a bottle of champagne and chocolates, a lovely touch.

Thank you for an outstanding stay, warm regards, Alan Storer

A total shame, unfortunately the room was extremely dirty with the bathroom smelling of "dirty public toilets"
I was there during a conference, it was very crowded but I don't think this justify this level of disservice

Outstanding service.
All the hotel staff are very kind and nice.
As an ultra-Orthodox girl we have a lot of restrictions they were just fine and tried to help as much as they could. Every request is answered in the affirmative and with a lot of patience for all our requests. Highly recommended!
And very close to the Chabad house.

Had breakfast there. So lovely to have an international hotel exeprience here

Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Good central location and lots of facilities on site, Conference facilities, Casino, Spa, Gym, outdoor and indoor pools etc. Staff were very accommodating and helpful.

Fantestic stay. Everything you expect from a 5 star hotel..

We have had conferences there and was well organized. Could be more coffee machines, water machines, or at least some hostesses to provide that kind of things. I also tried gym which is good because its nice. But pool was dirty and wouldn't go in.

Best location, friendly staff, clean rooms, everything perfect

Nice location on the island. Many good places to eat.

near the beach, shopping, restaurants, bars. large room&bathroom. very good service.

Friendly staff, good service, food is very good and not too pricey. Nice atmosphere.

location is great staff is friendly but rooms are not always good and room service needs alot of work ...

Room smelled overpoweringly of damp and mould due to leaking and pooling water from condensation or ongoing construction work.

Very nice luxury hotel clean dream pool suite sauna gym is more

Nice hotel and room. The rooftop pool is 50 a day for those not staying in suites. A bit much really

Awesome hotel in the center of the party district, staff are very helpful.

Good hotel in a good location with excellent services.

We had delicious sparkling wine and delicious chocolate for birthday and also a message card. It was a wonderful birthday.

Fantastic hotel with great rooms and personal service. Everything was very clean and the pool area was second to none. Would definitely stay here again.

Service is good, pool and beach are good for recreation!

Superb facilities, friendly staff and service with lots of smiles. Good food reasonably priced.

Fungus smell in the rooms from the air vents, old decoration, rooms in need of many wall and window repairs. Good internet and great breakfast though

Excellent hotel. The service was 2nd to none. Would go again in a heart beat

well organized, friendly staff, tasty breakfast and meals, clean, well localized, near a small bay (1 min waling distance, see photo) and night life. In the photo my room at 9th floor
