INNSiDE by Meliá Bugibba

Paid for an upgrade and Booked a twin room with balcony and sea view. We checked in around midday. Room was made up as a double and the view from the balcony looked out across the water tanks for the rooms on lower floors. Reported the bed situation to reception at 1.00pm who said they would split the beds. Came back around 10.00pm and beds hadn’t been moved. Gave me a key to room 807 (a room that has no windows at all) and was told that housekeeping would sort out the bed in the morning. Went for breakfast and came back to find room was still made up as a double. Reported to reception again and bed was eventually split into 2 twins at some time during the day. Paid for a twin with a sea view and got a double with view of water cylinders and then a room that had no windows at all. Staff whilst very apologetic didn’t offer any form of recompense Hotel was clean and tidy and pool area was nice however, Don’t think I’ll be rushing back to the Innside at Begibba on my next visit to Malta

We stayed two nights after a week long trip around the islands. It's a brand new hotel, but delivers very inconsistently, particularly given it's price point. We had booked a room with seaview - which had a fantastic view of the bay. Our impression is that most other rooms inside the hotel did not have this excellent view though. The room was overall in very good standard, but with some slightly sour smell to the towels. The room was well noise isolated from the outside and had good AC. Reception staff was also super helpful and friendly. The biggest letdown was the half board service, which was a definite waste of money. Particularly the dinner felt like a joke with something that looked like a kids menu (spaghetti bolognese and chicken burgers) and very limited options, plus a poor tasting desert. It does also not include any drinks whatsoever. We opted to go elsewhere on our second day despite having paid for it in advance. We had similar issues with a rooftop restaurant - exceptionally slow (60min+ waiting time for some hummus and a sandwich) and unapologetic about it. The rooftop is beautiful, but it is a restaurant that lowers the experience of the hotel. Lots of smoke and mirrors between what it tries to present itself as and what it really is. There was occasional very loud music behind played from the rooftop as well. Overall, I do think there would be better option in the town - particularly ones that can deliver to a similar standard for a much better price.

Everything was wonderful. Beautiful room restaurant was unbelievable

I love this hotel & will be coming back, it was my first solo trip travelling & it was wonderful to relax by the pool looking out to the sea. This is my favourite part of the hotel, the staff were friendly & the food was lovely, including the blueberry daiquiris cocktails! My stay at this hotel was tricky at first, there was a private party in the pool area and this wasn’t explained to me by the reception staff, so that was disappointing. During my stay Emergency maintenance work had to take place which disturbed my sleep for one night, but the duty manager Flavia, was very apologetic & compensated me for the issues. All in all, this has not prevented me for wanting to return. Glass collection around the pool needs to improve & I wish there were less private parties that start at 3 pm but other than that this may be one of my go to places for the future. Special thanks to Max breakfast supervisor, the English chap-Restaurant manager & Flavia! 💓

Beautiful clean fresh and spacious hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Great location literally over the road from the sea. Easy access to other points of interest across Malta via uber. Plenty of choice of restaurants and bars in a walkable distance. Can be loud in the evenings.
