The Ivy is a delightful escape from this popular Malta tourist area's congestion, noise, and dirt. A block off the main drag, it is peaceful, welcoming, modern, well-maintained, and clean when you step inside. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, nicely decorated, and equipped with everything you needed for a lovely stay. The shower had plenty of water pressure and endless hot water. There were many large absorbent bath and hand towels (but no washcloths - common in Malta). The bed linens were very nice. I wish there had been more pillows, but those provided were comfy. The mattress was firm for my taste and could have used a pillow topper. There was a private balcony with an uninspiring city view. I was disappointed to see an ashtray and smell cigarette smoke from previous guests. The breakfast was excellent, with hot and cold choices. The breakfast room is quiet and comfy and kept tidy by an attendant. If you plan to be in St Julian, Ivy is the place to stay. This small hotel is an escape from the madding crowd on the streets. Also, your budget will thank you; Ivy is a great value. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely hotel just off the main street in St Julians. Bus stops were within 200 metres which would take you most places. The area is pretty lively with bars and food outlets open until about 4am although i heard no noise overnight despite having my balcony door open. I stayed in room 1003 which had a very large balcony with sea views but also with the views of the numerous building sites which are an everyday occurrence in Malta. There was, however, little noise from the sites but it is something you need to consider wherever you visit in Malta.

Great place to stay in Malta

Several weeks of language study in sunny surroundings with a friendly and international environment.

Neat hotel close to heart of st. Julian. Lots of contruction around hotel so after late night its not so nice to wake up on power drill 😅
