InterContinental Malta

First trip to Malta and had mixed opinions of what it would be like. Same with booking the IGH hotel as I wanted the Hilton but my wife had the final word and thank god she did. From day one Katerina Angelkovska Guest relationship manager has made our holiday incredible. Helping us with our daughter who has sensory needs and being a great source of information and an absolute credit to the hotel. Big tip upgrade to club or a suite the extra's are well worth it and make it feel more like all inclusive rather than bed and breakfast. Concierge and staff level 15 are also amazing as are all the staff in the hotel, 19 floors to explore and so much to do. Food and drink is fantastic and the prices. Malta is beautiful so much to do and again the people are lovely. We loved it that much we are booked up and returning back with the hotel direct in June 2026. Simply to say we love Malta we love IHG and recommend it 👍👍👍

A very, very good hotel in so many ways - great range of restaurants, quality of finish, range and quality of facilities (gym, spa, etc), as well as the quality of service. We found the staff to be really attentive, responsive and personable. They made our children feel very engaged and talked to them in a way to make them feel more grown-up. The rooms were of high quality (appreciating the rooms in the hotel are going through a refurb program - we were fortunate to have one that had been completed) and we were helped enormously by dealing with the hotel directly in the booking process, both with getting adjoining rooms guaranteed, as well as getting a preferential room rate. If I was going to provide 3 points of caution (to cut through the noise on this platform): * St Julians: not a picturesque location, by any stretch of the imagination. If anything marks this down from 5 out of 5, this is it. We would not have visited St Julians, had the hotel not been there. So much of Malta’s appeal lies outside of St Julians; however, it’s a good base to get to other places and close to the airport. * The lifts: yep, no doubt they get busy at peak time (in other news, water is wet); however, it really isn’t as bad as some have painted it to be. * The outdoor pool: not big by any means; indeed, when the hotel occupancy is high, this can be a little annoying. However, it is a perfectly good pool for families (a separate pool is on the roof for adults (what they tell you at check-in; that is only true for weekends) and remember: this is a city hotel by all accounts. Therefore, if you’re expecting an Olympic-sized pool, then you need to probably rethink where you want to stay. Overall, this is a very good hotel, so the reviews suggesting otherwise are (at best) inaccurate. Is it perfect? No. However, this is a fantastic property, which provides a well-rounded service and does so consistently.

Superb. All round. We did experience some problems which I would classify as ‘out of the hotels’ control externally but these were resolved immediately and efficiently by the team. It’s a beautiful hotel. Amazing Sky Beach roof top pool and club, private beach and superb restaurants. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, exemplary which made the stay even more enjoyable. Even little touches like hand made masala chai tea for breakfast went above and beyond. A memorable stay. Thank you to ALL of the staff there. You are a great team.

The InterContinental hotel is located in a vibrant and busy area of St. George's, especially in the evening/night. Hence its best not to get room overlooking the main street (Triq Santu Wistin). As we were returning customers, I contacted the Club reception desk before we arrived regarding a number of personal things.. Plus I asked to be allocated to the same room as we had last October. Harsh was very help before we arrived, answering my emails and also when he check us in on arrival to the. hotel. In fact, Harsh was extremely helpful and friendly during our whole stay. Room - we was allocated room 1510, which is a King suite, garden view with Club lounge Access. The room is well furnished and the only issue we had, was one of the TV remote controls not working.. The hotel was built in 2003 (with the 17th, 18th & 19th floor built in 2018), i do have suggested improvements to the rooms. Personally like to charge my mobile phone by the side of the bed, however there is only one mains plug, which was used by the bedside light. So would be nice to replace the mains plug with either two mains plug or a mains plug with a USB socket. Plus to refresh the TV"s with Smart TV's. Pools - there are two pools, the main pool on the 10th and the other one on 19th floor. The main pool was extremely busy and they give out the towels from 8.30am on exchange of the towel card. The white towel cards are for the intercontinental and the blue cards are for Holiday Inn Express. They have opened up this 10th floor swimming pool to guest staying at the Holiday Inn Express for €20 per day/per room. Due to the tall building behind the hotel (Mercury Towers) the main pool is in the shade until 8.45am (10.15am in October) and in the shade by 5pm (caused by the brand new Voco hotel).and much later for the 19th floor pool. The pool on 19th floor is in the shade until 10.50am, due to the hi rise (Mercury Towers) building behind the intercontinental hotel. It appears that 19th floor is available complementary to suites on 17th and 18th floor or you can pay €50 euro. This €50 credit, allows you to purchase food and drink at Skybeach bar and restaurant. Club lounge - in St. Julians Bay, we have stayed at Corinthia and Hilton Hotel, however this is the best club lounge in the area. For breakfast there is a wide selection of food (buffet and a la carte) and there is a large number of tables available outside on the terrace. They provide snacks between 2.30pm and 4.30pm and then drinks (including cocktails and other alcoholic drinks) from 5.30pm to 7.30pm plus some canapés. At other times up to 10pm, you can obtain soft drinks plus teas and coffees. Njambi, Asal, Nisha and Vinay where extremely helpful and friendly, plus attentive. Restaurants - one evening we dine at SkyBeach restaurant on the 19th floor. They move the sunloungers back from the pool and set a number of tables around the pool. The food was okay, nothing special and service was slow. Plus we asked for some butter with our bread and was told none was available - really in a 5 star restaurant ! Gym - this hotel has the largest gym on the island. Plus is well equipped and also busy. Finally, most of the hotels staff are attentive, however a few don't have the etiquette for a 5 star hotel.

First class, staff just can’t do enough to ensure everything is running smoothly for you to get the best experience from the hotel and it’s facilities
