The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in this hotel. I actually feel they went above and beyond to make our stay brilliant. The hotel was kept spotless clean and the layout was great. The hotel was in an ideal location and felt safe. The views from the terrace and balcony were great and gave us the option of eating both indoors and out for breakfast

Despite specific request for a quiet room and a high floor to escape the noise, plus requesting a double bed and paying extra for it, unfortunately upon my arrival, i was given the complete opposite of my requests, a room on the second floor which was extremely noisy, and a room with 2 twin beds . And the member of staff lying to me several times saying that was the only avaliable room in the hotel, i later found out this was not true. Bad customer services. Lacks hospitality

September 2025 - A great stay

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express at St Julians Malta was excellent . Room was a great size and very clean. Good facilities including teas and coffee, iron and ironing board and hair dryer. Toiletries were also good. Room had a small balcony. Breakfast was very good and there was plenty of choice including hot and cold options. Service was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a very busy noisy part of town but the double glazing was excellent at reducing any noise.

Cleanliness not a problem. Taxi arranged to airport upon arrival (3:00 AM departure). At 3 AM no taxi. had to scramble to get ride. Noise from outside activities very loud - until 2 AM. Tough to sleep. Air flow from heater/cooler aimed directly at bed - not comfortable.

This is one of the best 3 star hotels I've stayed in, it feels more like a 4 star in terms of the facilities and amenities that are available, the extremely welcoming staff, the cleanliness and space of the rooms and the area in which it is located. Holiday Inn Express is a part of the IHG Group, and connected to this hotel is the 5 star IHG InterContinental which is accessible via the first floor, and for a small fee, you can access their facilities which includes an indoor pool, spa and wellness centre, as well as an outdoor sky pool and bar. The area around the hotel, although quite noisy at night known as Paceville, has a wide variety of clubs, bars and pubs with a great deal of dining options, whilst the street on which the hotel is situated also houses one of the island's only cinemas as well as one of the best shopping complexes, making it extremely ideal for anyone that doesn't want to venture very far. The room itself was well-kitted out, and the TV (although without smart functionality) had a wide variety of European TV channels. The breakfast included at the hotel was also lovely and featured an outdoor seated terrace, while the food provided was quite nice. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable, yet cozy hotel in a great location and some great amenities, I would highly recommend this place.

Its most horrible stay I had in Malta for past ten years. The did not even provide water. When I asked for refilling they said breakfast time is over they cannot provide any water. How come hotel do not allow to refill water any time. Staff is very rude and honestly do not recommend any one to stay here. Also their reception is on 8th Floor which is wierd.
