Ibi Brown 5/5 17 hours ago on Google We are truly grateful for the kindness and patience you’ve shown us during the unexpected delay in our travels. While our airline left us in limbo due to the strike, your care and hospitality have made all the difference. From the beautiful hotel itself to the outstanding staff and excellent facilities, every detail has exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly—thank you for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Laura, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The fortina was just the best, the staff on arrival were the best, informative, polite, courteous and couldn't do enough, the room was fabulous with an amazing view across the harbour to Valletta, the food was amazing, if I was to have any negative points it would be for the hotel not to advertise that it has an out door pool....it doesn't, it has a very small share in an out door pool, that you have to book a slot at the day before. But when you get to the pool you are told which beds you can have, no sea views, all at the back etc. priority is given to people not staying at the hotel for a premium 50euros per lounger

10/10 Exceptional

I highly recommend this place. The location is excellent, with a great selection of nearby restaurants, including Tora, Manta, Opa!, and Chophouse and a near by Mall. It's also just a five-minute walk to the ferry terminal with easy access to Valletta.The staff were exceptionally professional and welcoming. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The gym was impressive, offering modern equipment, fitness classes, and personal training options.The pool area was another highlight, providing a relaxing atmosphere and stunning views of Valletta.

The hotel was well located, easy access to transportation to get to main attractions. Close to really good dinner options. Their morning buffet was a bit pricey but included a lots of choices. Great gym and spa. The pool area was beautiful, great view .too bad i didn't get to enjoy it, it was too cool for us but if I come back in summer I won't miss it!! The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and spacious. We had some view of Valleta and it was a great sight to wake up every morning!

Shannon, 4-night trip

Amazing Hotel but Pool Situation not ideal.....

Have just returned from a lovely weeks stay with my partner. We booked a Superior room with Sea View and it did not disappoint. The room itself was very modern, spacious and well appointed. A nice big bathroom that had a large bath and a separate shower. The best thing though was the view from the balcony. Overlooking Valletta, the stunning dome and Sliema harbour, it was amazing! We chose not to opt in to breakfast and found a lovely café just a couple of mins walk by The Point shopping mall that served great coffee and pastries for only a few Euros every morning. A better choice for us. Good location too! The outdoor pool situation does need to get a mention and why i am not giving my review 5 stars. Hotel guests get access to a pool club across the road from the hotel. The club itself is very nice however this is not solely for hotel guests. It's open to paying guests (mostly younger guests) and as such hotel guests are made to feel like 2nd class citizens in many cases. Depending on who was at the pool reception or how busy they were on a particular day meant you were shoved off to one side and any beds close to the pool were not available for hotel guests and only for "paying" guests. Also, every day from midday, a DJ would be in situ playing loud dance music which i don't mind on occasion, but when it's that loud and you want a snooze, then you have no chance! A deal breaker? Possibly not but this would make us consider our options if we were to return to Sliema again.
Colin, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel with very attentive staff. Rooms were cleaned during the day and then again in the evening with a nice touch of chocolates being left on the bed for us. Very Spacious room with a very large comfy bed. The Pillows aren’t great, but there are 3 to choose from. A LOT of noise comes through the doors, but the rest of the room was soundproofed well. Awkwardly positioned hairdryer with a very short cord means you need to dry your hair with your head in a cupboard. A really great stay.
Jack, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The outdoor pool in the photos is a short walk from the hotel across a busy road and it isn't even owned by the same company. The indoor pool and spa areas do not exist as the hotel is still under construction, so it is noisy all day six days per week. My room was cleaned whilst I was asleep and although I complained to the senior manager, she didn't speak much English, so I didn't get an apology. Breakfast (£30ph) and dinner (£50ph) are very average in quality (new chefs required). Malta (Valletta) has a lot to offer but I did not enjoy staying here - big shame!
