Holiday Inn Express Malta

The hotel is located in the heart of Saint Julies city center, adjacent to bars and nightclubs. Loud music plays until 3am every night. Although the hotel has double-glazed soundproof windows, it still makes sleep difficult unless you're a night owl. It's advisable to find accommodation farther from the nightlife district if you're not. The hotel doesn't include a complimentary swimming pool. Access to the neighboring hotel's pool costs €20 per day per room, which may disappoint guests not wanting beach swimming. However, a public beach is just a 5-minute walk away, serving as a good alternative. Cleanliness and hygiene are above average, but the bathroom shower has a design flaw: no curtain or screen, causing the entire bathroom floor to get wet during showers. Hotel service: Staff are warm-hearted and patiently assist guests with requests – highly commendable! Hotel breakfast: Since this was a family trip, we chose the 7-day breakfast package. However, the food variety remained completely unchanged every single day. For the last two days, the pancake machine malfunctioned, making the already monotonous selection even more limited. Food preparation also lacked professionalism: the scrambled eggs were disappointing daily, with powdery lumps forming. Hard-boiled eggs weren't chilled in cold water after cooking, making them extremely difficult to peel – the chefs need to pay more attention to this.

Good service and location very easy to find it, near have shopping mall and many restaurants.

All the staff were friendly and amazing. Breakfast area is beautiful and you can see the bay. Rooms were clean but simple. One complaint is that you need to pay an extra 20 euro per person to use the swimming pool and gym that gives you access for 24 hours. There is lots around the area and the main bus stops are a short uphill walk.

All the front desk staffs are very nice and helpful, specially a lady ( sorry I don’t know her name) she is extremely friendly and helpful . Gave us lots of suggestions.

I am happy with the services of the hotel. I will surely use this facility again.

The service was good. We had an early flight on our last day and the staff at the reception kindly arranged breakfast takeaway for us. However, the hotel location is only good for people that like to party since there are a lot of bars and club’s downstairs and therefore during the night it’s pretty loud also due to the bad sound isolation of the hotel. If you want to explore the city or the harbour more I suggest stay in Sliema or Valletta instead. The breakfast is ok. The steam bath in IHG doesn’t work which is quite a shame.
