Just came back from a weekend at IC Malta. Some updates of prices in Euro:
Airport transfer is 21 Euro each way and can be booked through the concierge. No special price for Ambassadors or Royal Ambassadors is offered. The transfer is with a regular taxi, however the driver is waiting at airport arrivals holding a sign with your name on it. Maybe the advantage in booking the transfer in advance is that you'll be driven in a nice car. We had a large Mercedes both ways.
Broadband Internet is free in all Club rooms. Wi-Fi is 19 Euro per 24 hours.

I'm sending this from a Panoramic suite, RA upgrade from a club panoramic. Nice room, good staff.
It's worth mentioning that they no longer do any cooked food in the lounge at breakfast, stopped about 6 months ago apparently.
The lounge is OK but a bit limited and charges for alcohol outside certain hours.

However, after some months of booking, my reservation has not been changed yet and contact with the hotel doesn't give any response...
Did you get your upgrade on time of booking or was it only at check-in?
I also heard that there is no parking fee for Ambassadors in this hotel, do you know if this is still valid?
Furthermore; it appears there is some difference between club panoramic suites, some have terraces, others are facing the back of the hotel,... is this correct?
Thanks for your posts and... enjoy your stay in Malta!

If you look at the picture, there's a stepped wing on the left side. On the top floor of it is club lounge, underneath are suites with very large terraces.

They have very limited number of suites with terraces. Ordinary club suites are located on the top floor and they have only balconies even with pool view:

Your wish is my command.
As we're checking out this morning, it's an unmade room but here you are:

If Malta ain't the place to save a few tons of CO2 & use the cheap & frequent bus service...I haven't yet seen a place that is. They may all end up in Valletta...but they also go wherever you want. We were staying not far from this hotel, few yrs ago & went direct by bus to places like the ferry for Gozo, Rabat, and easily changed at Valletta for the airport no probs.

I doubt anyone will disagree with you , with regards to the various outposts of Malta...however the discussion/opinion here is relating to IC Malta, and the surrounding regions of St.Julian's/Sliema etc.
Now, if you wanted to be at a business meeting by x.xx time & was worried about a shirt being creased - definitely take a car or taxi. But the idea of needing one from these areas, on a leisure trip - sounds crazy to me - albeit it's been 4 or 5 years since been there. The whole country's only about 25 sq miles anyways, or something silly - is not that long of a $1 bus ride to endure anywhere.
