Ivy Hotel - Adults Only

The two best things about this hotel for me were the location and the service though in many ways wherever you stay the latter is probably going to be the most important. I rashly booked somewhere in St Julian not realising it was the centre of nightlife in Malta. I was hoping for somewhere more quiet! However, fate then led me to book the Ivy and I was glad in the end that I had booked ‘blind’. Its location is actually on a quiet street yet just a few mins from the action. Because if it’s location I’d certainly think about staying there again. The room was spacious, clean and really well apportioned. Super modern bathroom and pleasant balcony. The tea and coffee making facilities were unexpected but most welcome. I should mention the food. I had breakfast each day and it was tasty, varied and plentiful. I didn’t really go for the cooked breakfast option as I tend to prefer the traditional English cooked breakfast which I find is not easily replicated abroad. What I could see looked decent enough though. The service however is what sells the place. I don’t know the manager’s name but we did exchange a few words. She struck me as someone who runs a tight ship whilst also managing to nurture a genuinely friendly and helpful approach towards customer service. Service was therefore both efficient and effective, staff courteous and attentive. Qualities reflected by everyone I met. So, all in all, a great stay thank you!
