Overall, my stay at this hotel was disappointing and far below what you would expect from a 5-star property.

The place smells like animals, with a very unpleasant odor. There is a high level of humidity, and everything feels damp and moldy. Unfortunately, this had a real impact on my health—I actually became ill during my stay, likely due to the persistent moldy smell in the room.

The indoor swimming pool is heavily overfilled with chlorine. The smell is very strong, and it makes your eyes burn, which makes it uncomfortable to use.

The buffet breakfast is decent, but definitely not premium. The selection is limited and does not change—every day it is exactly the same, which becomes repetitive very quickly.

The biggest downside is clearly the rooms. In addition to the damp and moldy conditions, there are not enough power sockets, which is very inconvenient. There are also no sockets in the bathroom, which makes basic tasks like using a hairdryer more difficult.

Overall, this hotel does not meet the standards of a 5-star rating, and I would not recommend staying here.

Absolutely loved my stay at the InterContinental Malta as an IHG One Rewards member. The staff were consistently friendly, polite, and genuinely helpful.

Our original room was on the noisier side, and the team happily moved us to a quieter garden view room on a higher floor for a small additional fee. Breakfast was included and served daily in the Opal Lounge, which made mornings especially relaxing.

A special thank you to Sopo in the Opal Lounge, always professional and attentive, and she remembered my preferred table and cappuccino each morning . Special thanks also to Anamika in reservations for making everything run smoothly.

It’s the kind of service that makes returning feel like the natural choice.

Presented as a 5 star hotel, but that wasn't my experience. Staff are doing their best to be fair, so I have no complaints regarding their efforts. But it felt as though they couldn't cope with the amount of people in the hotel. 10 minute queues for breakfast each morning, only to be put in the backroom on a make shift table. 20 minute queues to get a fried egg. And no gluten free bread, or any gluten free option for my partner. The floor we were on felt unfinished, as in, still under construction, maybe it is. Strange that this Intercontinental or a 5 star hotel doesn't offer a place to work other than being charged 110euro for a place that has 3 desks. The gym was okay, but its a third party gym that the Intercontinental is allowed use, so it was incredibly busy. You are given a complimentary drink on arrival, but the bar in lobby doesnt take it, you have to go a different bar, which was fine. Nobody there and my partner couldn't get served. The man completely ignored her, so we just walked out after 5 minutes, to being met with a response of 'goodbye'. The rooms were fine, clean.
It was nothing major, just small things that add up, and unfortunately when you pay high prices, you expect quality service.

This place is amazing but the air con is a massive per down. It doesn't blow cold. Always hit regardless of setting, you can't leave balcony open because it's Malta it's busy all night. We had to ask for fans.

Edit, I don't think we would ever return here due to the elevator situation. You are frequently waiting upto 15 minutes just to get into a lift. There's 3 lifts for the hotel that reach the floors we require. They are nearly always full.

Felt like I spent half my holiday waiting for the elevator just to get into and out of our room.

The staff are extremely friendly, the rooms are beautiful. One of the best IHG I have been to.

We had a lovely family stay at the IHG Malta hotel and really enjoyed our vacation. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, making them ideal for a family stay. Breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of fresh options for everyone.

The staff provided friendly, professional service throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. Overall, it’s a great hotel for both business and leisure travelers, and we would happily stay here again.

I have very mixed feelings about this hotel. After staying at another 5-star hotel during my first days in Malta, I was quite disappointed.
This place is simply not a real 5-star hotel. Everything feels old and dated. The room was advertised as 40 m², but it definitely wasn’t, it was very small. After speaking with the manager, they did move us to another room that looked more like the pictures and was indeed larger, which I appreciated.

We had access to the Opal Lounge, but it wasn’t anything special. Honestly, the breakfast I had at a 2-star hotel in Spain this summer was much better.

On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the concierge gave us some nice tour recommendations.

The gym, as I understood, is a public gym, which is fine, but the entrance is through the indoor pool area a bit strange. If you’re relaxing by the pool, people constantly walk past to get to the gym, which ruins the atmosphere.

Overall, I wouldn’t really recommend this hotel. The location is fine, but there are at least ten other hotels nearby that are much cheaper and probably offer a better experience.
Also nowhere near the bed to charge your phone.

Very comfortable

Excellent location and facilities. And breakfast. The only comment would be all the restrictions on usage of skybeach was confusing.

05.05.2025 Guest

The room facilities are complete, the hotel is clean and comfortable, and the front desk reception staff are warm and thoughtful
