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.

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.

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.

Very good stay, superb housekeeping, very good breakfast and lovely staff. I would stay again. It is very close to nightlife but we didn’t find the noise too bad in our second floor room and only heard music on Saturday night.

Centrally located nice environment, friendly staff. Room is clean and comfortable. Would be wonderful if the room has refrigerator(even a small one) and some place to put our clothes in other than keeping them in or luggages on the floor and jumping around!

Great hotel, excellent staff and customer service.
Superb hotel, breakfast was lovely, rooms were excellent and clean. Spa access was a bonus.
A special thanks to Mohani for looking after us.
Whilst the hotel is in a busy area for nightlife, the hotel has super thick double glazing so noise wasn't an issue for us.
