Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Right in the heart of Malta's night club area, which is extremely busy every evening, particularly weekends. The hotel is very clean with helpful staff. The breakfast was good, but for some reason no fried eggs which I thought was odd.
