InterContinental Malta by IHG

InterContinental Malta by IHG

8/10 Good
"This hotel does not live up to the Intercontinental name. The hotel needs major room renovations. The lobby area and restaurant areas are nice but the rooms are so outdated. The 1st room we checked in had a musty smell and the carpets were stained. Asked for a room change, the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The 2nd room was a bit better but the same issue with the old carpet. We had club access which gave us separate breakfast area, tea time and pre-dinner food and drinks. The Seabeach pool on 19th floor is very nice but even with Club Access we were told that the amenities were not included and it was an extra charge. Overall not a bad stay. Location is perfect. The staff made sure we were taken care of, and they worked very hard with a smile 😊"

The Parish Church, a prominent landmark, is surrounded by a few local shops, cafes, and the well-maintained Lija Belvedere Tower and gardens.

You'll enjoy quiet evenings, strolls through the charming streets, and easy access to the village's main points of interest. It's a great base for unwinding and experiencing Maltese culture away from more bustling tourist areas.While Lija itself is a small, residential village, its central location within Malta makes it a convenient base for exploring the island by car.

The best time to visit Lija is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.During spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This period avoids the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter. Wildflowers are in bloom, and the island is lush and green, making it ideal for exploring the village and its surroundings on foot. It's a great time for couples seeking a comfortable and picturesque visit without the peak season crowds.Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 20°C and 28°C, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming until late October. This season provides a good balance of agreeable weather and fewer tourists compared to the summer. Foodies might particularly enjoy autumn, as it coincides with local harvest festivals and offers opportunities to sample fresh seasonal produce.While summer (July and August) is hot and sunny, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
