Malta is undoubtedly one of the most developing destinations in Europe. The island complex of the Mediterranean welcomes more than 2.2 million tourists yearly (five times the number of its residents), a number which is steadily growing. Accommodation in Malta is something that will not trouble you much, as you will find hotels and apartments for all tastes and budgets.

In the city there are more than 600 hotels, hostels, apartments and airbnb homes, while the average price per night is 80-110€ (during high season). Most hotels are of good quality and offer breakfast, without any extra cost, while a lot of the airbnb sites are renovated with traditional Maltese architecture. Malta satisfies all budgets, with luxury apartments (starting at 300€/night), as well as quality rooms in 3/4/5-star hotels (starting at 60€/night). Recommended areas for staying are Valletta, St. Julian’s, Sliema, St. Paul, Rabat and the up-and-coming Mellieha.

The Holiday Inn Express Malta is one of the most value-for-money options in Malta. It is located in St. Julian’s, in the heart of the island’s night life, while it is only two minutes away on foot from the sea. Apart from the dozens of bars and clubs that exist near the hotel, in the area you will also find plenty of options for good or fast food, entertainment and shopping (cinemas/shopping centers).

Upon entering the Holiday Inn Express Malta, you will not find the reception desk, as it is on the 8th floor. Nonetheless, before checking in, you can rest in the lobby’s colorful lounge. On the 8th floor, apart from the reception desk, you will also find the breakfast area, a lounge area with board games, as well as its large terrace with the exquisite view. The staff is very polite, attentive and manages to maintain all areas clean and safe. Access to each floor can be achieved through the use of your individual card, and the same goes for entering the hotel during evening hours.

The rooms of the Holiday Inn Express Malta are modern, comfortable and very functional. The beds are ideal for rest and the space is clean with warm and cozy touches. Among the room’s many amenities we find free WiFi, usb outlets, brand bathroom products, satellite TV, a safe box and more. The bathroom is also clean and rather spacious, ideally completing a wonderful stay.

The average price per night is 80€, including breakfast. Breakfast does not offer a lot of options, however all products are of excellent quality, with the highlights being the croissants, Nutella and coffee.

Malta, apart from great hotels, also has very good apartments, one of which is Merisi Suites studio apartment! Nigel’s apartments are located on a central spot of Valletta, near the Upper Barrakka Gardens. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and has easy access to the center of the old town.

The apartments and suites are housed in a small palace (Palazzino), built in 1824. The building has been renovated in such a way, so that it maintains the glory of the past. For this reason you will see wooden beams, stone walls, arches and high ceilings, a characteristic feature of old Maltese buildings. There is also a common balcony and a furnished courtyard, while it is worth mentioning that an outdoor lift has been installed, in order to facilitate the guests.

The studio is oblong, has excellent décor and wonderful functionality. The modern touches complete the ideal picture. Its benefits are very good, as it has a private bathroom, kitchen, table, kettle, fridge, couch and very fast internet connection. Finally, the beds are comfortable and perfect for resting. The studio we recommend is an excellent option for two persons.

The average price per night is 100€, which is totally reasonable considering the location and quality of the site. Make reservations and live the unique experience of staying at a traditional Maltese place. Προτεινόμενο (Π)

Notice: The apartments are on high demand. If you are planning on visiting during high season, you should make reservations at least three months in advance!
