Voco Malta an IHG Hotel

"Everything about Voco has been great from start to finish. Beautiful newly opened hotel with amazing staff everywhere. Front desk was fantastic and always so helpful from check in until we left. The breakfast at Lumi was definitely the highlight. We’ve been greeted everyday by lovely people, Asad, Larissa, Nisha and more. A fantastic buffet as well as an a la carte menu which you can choose one dish from. Delicious! The rooftop pool bar where we hung out every day was amazing too. The people working hard up there are always so nice and so incredibly friendly as well as GREAT pool snacks and food. Highly recommend Voco for anyone visiting Malta!"

"We want to say thank you! We really had a good time at VOCO and enjoyed our breakfast every morning. A special thank you to Larissa, Asad and Nisha that we met at the breakfast every morning. Their service was excellent and they really made our stay the best! Also thanks to everyone in the reception, they were always ready to help and answer any questions!"

"Stayed here for 7 nights and have mixed feelings, so I’ll break it down. Location: This is the big one to know before you book. If you’re after a party atmosphere, you’re in the right place, but if not, steer clear. The area itself isn’t particularly clean, it’s constantly busy, and the crowd skews very young, mostly late teens to mid-twenties. Great if that’s your scene, exhausting if it’s not. Food and beverages: No complaints here at all. The choice at meal times was really good and the service matched it. Breakfast in particular stood out, good variety and consistently well done each morning. Pool: A bit of a mixed bag. It’s on the small side, and there’s also a smaller pool up on the rooftop. A couple of things caught us off guard: you’re not allowed to bring your own food or drinks poolside, and staff will confiscate them if you try. Drinks from the bar are pricey, so budget for that. Also worth knowing, the umbrellas get closed if it’s even slightly windy, and there didn’t seem to be any consistent rule for what counts as “too windy.” Since there’s barely any other shade (aside from a few dining tables), you can end up stuck in full sun on a hot day whether you like it or not. Gym: Genuinely impressed here! The gym itself is excellent. One catch though: it’s run as a private gym with hotel guests getting access, so despite what we were told at check-in, they wouldn’t provide towels free of charge. Bring your own to save the hassle. Rooms: This is where the hotel really delivers in terms of the room itself, spotless and a good amount of space, and honestly the whole hotel felt clean throughout. The one thing to flag is noise. Given the younger crowd the hotel attracts, corridor and surrounding noise is pretty much unavoidable, and it can happen at any hour of the night, not just early evening. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s worth bearing in mind or packing earplugs. Overall: great for a lively, younger crowd who don’t mind noise and don’t need to hold onto their own poolside drinks, less so if you’re after quiet or shade by the pool."
