Top Balluta Bay Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Malta by IHG

InterContinental Malta by IHG

8/10 Good
"This hotel does not live up to the Intercontinental name. The hotel needs major room renovations. The lobby area and restaurant areas are nice but the rooms are so outdated. The 1st room we checked in had a musty smell and the carpets were stained. Asked for a room change, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The 2nd room was a bit better but the same issue with the old carpet. We had club access which gave us separate breakfast area, tea time and pre-dinner food and drinks. The Seabeach pool on 19th floor is very nice but even with Club Access we were told that the amenities were not included and it was an extra charge. Overall not a bad stay. Location is perfect. The staff made sure we were taken care of, and they worked very hard with a smile 😊"

"The location first of all was perfect!. The view we had from one of the front rooms looking out to the marine was breathtaking every day. Having access to the swimming pool across the road was a huge bonus too. The dining room staff were particularly friendly. I would recommend this hotel to be a perfect base for your Malta holiday."

"Lovely clean hotel. Room was lovely. Some areas eg around the pool and beach club require some updating. Staff very helpful especially Christina and Emilia in the executive lounge who couldn’t do enough to help. Even suggested great places for us to visit and helped with directions too.

St Julian's Bay Hotel

8/10 Good
"Excellent location. Close to the bus services and tour boats etc. Also close to restaurants & Bars. You should pay the extra and get a sea view room as the ones in the back are a bit shabby and look out into a dirty back ally. Luckily we ended up with a partial sea view and it was quite decent. I would say a 3* hotel. It is quite small and can be noisy with the other guests in the hall."
