IC Malta

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? We booked the cheapest club room and received a two level upgrade to a deluxe suite.

How are the rooms? There was a bit of flaking paint around two of the balcony doors but otherwise in good nick. Our suite was on a corner so had three balconies. Living area had sofa and armchair round a coffee table, dining table and three chairs plus a desk and fourth chair. The TV is on the small side. This didn’t bother us as we didn’t fly to Malta to be glued to the gogglebox all weekend. Separate sleeping area with huge bed and wardrobe. Bathroom had a jacuzzi bath and separate rain fall shower. Amenities were Agraria 100ml.

How is the exec. lounge? Lovely as always. Breakfast with egg order menu from 6.30-10.30. Afternoon tea between 2.30-4.30. Evening drinkies from 5.30-7.30. Substantial canapés in the evening.

What was good and what was bad? Welcome points posted quickly. Given two drinks vouchers for Waterbiscuit at check in plus €15 bill credit. Received a lovely welcome amenity, including vino, fruit, candy, chocs and water. Two new bottles of water were delivered on our second day. BA flight times from LGW are excellent for a weekend break, left 8am Friday and returned 8.10pm Sunday. Large and well equipped gym plus lovely indoor pool. A member of the hotel management team was in the lounge in Saturday night seeking feedback so I mentioned the flaking paint and he immediately offered to swap our room.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Low season so club room cost just £90/night. Compare this with £55/night at HIX next door and staying here is a no brainer.

Snack anyone?
