Lovely views. Good location for short journey to Valletta. Very nice hotel although pool is not solely for the hotel and is a separate spa so have to book sunbeds to use although it all went quite smoothly.

Very clean with good rooms and location. Staff at reception and breakfast friendly and helpful. Not so much at the spa/pool and the gym was closed all week which was a shame. Music too loud at the pool - not very relaxing. Coffee at breakfast disgusting- surely an essential part of a good hotel breakfast.

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.

Everything was amazing besides the location of the pool! It is why I gave it 4 stars. I would even give it 3 stars only because of that. It is a shared pool across the street from the hotel! Meaning its open to the public, and if you like to use It you need to reserve it the day before! Because it's open to the public and they do charge really good prices for day passes they do prioritize the guests from the outside. We never got any good lounges, matter of fact we went 3 times and each time were given the worst possible spots! It is extremely inconvenient and not very well thought 😕 Malta doesn't really have any good beaches so we were hopping to at least enjoy some good pool times!

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 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!

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.

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.
