The hotel is lovely, nice, big rooms, excellent breakfast. The pool was lovely and definitely a highlight. However the beds although comfortable are very small (my husband and I who are both quite slim barely fit in their double bed), the noise from the gym was so loud 2 floors away from 6am until 11pm that we were unable to sleep. There were metal concerts in the hotel 2 nights in a row without prior warning, further disrupting our sleep. Staff although polite, interrupted us every day at breakfast during conversation to have a lengthy discussion to simply ask if everything was okay, constant phone calls to the room to ask if everything is okay, even late into the evening, we had to ask them to please stop calling us. We tried to eat at the hotel one evening and 2 of the restaurants that were supposed to be open were shut. It is a lovely hotel - but not being able to get a decent sleep or relax without interruption is annoying.

I am unfortunately writing to register a complaint and dissatisfaction with my stay at the Intercontinental Hotel in Malta. This is a five star hotel, having stayed in many hotels including of a lesser rating the hotel is certainly not operating at a five star standard. The first room we were allocated was a corner room and the balcony was tiny with an exposed rusty water pipe with a view of a rooftop full of building materials. We expressed our disappointment and were moved to a different room which had a slightly better balcony and view. However, there was a cockroach in the room which we killed and let a staff member at reception know about. We did express we didn’t want any toxic fumes sprayed in the room, however when we returned later that evening that had sprayed the room. The patio doors also did not close properly and the noises from the bars and clubs throughout the night meant we did not have one good nights sleep. We were also informed that the rooftop pool and facilities were not in use and would not be open for our whole 7 day stay. This was a huge selling point to us and one of the reasons we picked to stay at this hotel, to not have been informed on the closure prior to our arrival or when we booked is not acceptable. Nothing in the pictures advertising the hotel looked like that in real life. The staff who dealt with our issues did the best they could, however it is not their fault that the facilities or lack of facilities had such a negative impact on

A smart hotel in an area with a lot of building work going on. It is also very close to a nightlife area that could be noisy. However if you get a "garden view" room, this overlooks a very large central garden and noise is not a problem. Breakfast is very good (although some of the hot dishes could dobwith being warmer) with a massive selection. Best hot option is the on demand kitchen dong eggs benedict; omelettes; and poached eggs.
