Top Birgu Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel Malta

Hard Rock Hotel Malta

10/10 Excellent
"The staff are what makes this hotel, they are so welcoming and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, we missed the opening of the rooftop bar and infinity pool, which was scheduled to open on Saturday 10 October. Just prior to leaving on Friday 9 October, a member of staff approached me and my wife and took us up for a guided tour of the new facilities, which looked superb. Just to see the panoramic views of the sea is a must for everyone staying at the hotel. Personally, I booked a Club Deluxe Room which was well worth the extra, as it gave us access to the Royalty Lounge. Every evening from 6 to 8pm, they served up canapés with small deserts accompanied with a choice of Beers, Wines and Spirits. The hotel is only open just over a month, so just be aware that the surrounding infrastructure, in particular roads and pavements aren’t yet fully complete. Just to recap, the staff at this hotel are fantastic, thank you for making our stay so special."

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 The lobby area and restaurant areas are nice but the rooms are so outdated.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 😊"
