10/10

We had an amazing room with a beautiful view of the capital of Malta 🇲🇹 Valletta. We were on top 17th floor. It was very nice to have use of a private gym on the premises and also use of a pool day club across street which is connected underground as well called Manta. But you must ask for the towels from the front desk and reserve a daybed ahead of time. If not you can always go for drinks 🍹 which is a good deal 2 for 1 for a couple of hours daily right when the sunset is occurring.

Barceló Fortina is a well located hotel with excellent facilities, including an excellent gym, spa, restaurants, and access to a lido with beautiful views of Valetta. Well located in Sliema close to restaurants, shops and ferry terminals. The room was large and very comfortable.

The hotel was great but what sold it not was the service! There was great customer service from the team at the front desk, to staff we just walked past, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel was modern, clean and inviting. Large rooms and spaces to relax around the hotel. Would highly recommend

Despite spoken with the duty managers, we felt we have been let down by the poor standard of a 5 star hotel.
2-night trip

4/10

There was issues with my reservation (they downgraded me from the room that I had booked and paid for) and hotel did not manage it well. They could have very easily turned the situation into a (more) positive one, but lacked completely common sense. Luckily Hotels.com/Expedia stepped in to manage this and refund me. Thank you Expedia! Otherwise hotel is ok, but IMHO you can find better value for money in the 5 star hotel category. Fitness center and pool are located cross the street at a different building, and are limited in terms of opening hours.

I had a great stay with them. The view to Valletta as well as the ocean and the marina bay is incredible, simply gorgeous incomparably beautiful. Balcony is spacious, staffs are friendly, location is convenient with great restaurants around. I will bring my family back here for vacation soon.

10/10

It's been long coming, as previous patrons of the old Fortina. We took note of the changes, but still loved the hotel for what it is. It's clean, comfortable, parking is cheap, the bar is quiet and well stocked and the restaurants are top notch. In what is today a multicultural society, we were also pleased and proud to note that in the main restaursnt, the chef is Maltese and there is a healthy mix of local and foreign staff.

Incredible view from our 11th floor premium sea view room overlooking the harbor and Valletta. Great staff, convenient location to great restaurants, the shopping mall, and the ferry to Valletta. Enjoyed the included access to the beach club across the street which was also accessible underground. Close to the Guadalupe Boat Bar & Bistro - our favorite hang out!

We had a sea view room. I would say the view over the harbour to Valletta is definitely worth the extra. The hotel is well situated for local transport. There is an outdoor pool and bar on the waterfront which really allows you to take in the wonder of the harbour area.
