"Lovely hotel with fantastic service "

"This was our third visit to the Barcelo Fortina - we visited twice last year and returned this April with friends. However, we had noticed a couple of things that will deter us from booking again. Firstly, I have to say that the staff and rooms are truly excellent - staff are friendly, helpful and faultless. A couple of things riled us at this visit. The friends that we brought along with us needed some extra milk for their tea in their room ( they leave two small sachets only) and when they requested the milk, the bar said that there would be a charge for it! The second and more unpleasant aspect was when we went to try and get sun loungers by the pool.... we were told when we arrived that they had to be booked a day ahead. However, one afternoon, we thought we would risk it and see if there was anything available as we thought some people may have vacated by then. We asked at the pool reception and told that it would cost 120 euros to have a sunbed! We walked away confused. We then went to reception to BOOK a sunbed for the following day,,, duly arrived with our slip of paper and told we were only allowed a sunbed furthest away from the sea and the pool with only the back of peoples heads as a view even though there were plenty of better sited beds available. It seems that as we were hotel residents, and as the pool area is now not owned by the hotel, there are only a few sunbeds reserved for hotel guests. Sadly, we will be looking for a different hotel next year....."

"Great breakfast!"

"Overall average stay. Problems included: no microwave, really warm room at some points with no solution as AC system couldn't be controlled by the staff (?), hot water got cut off multiple times in the room so couldn't shower, no locks on bathroom door, lack of hangers and hooks, and a bad toilet flush. Breakfast was decent, not too much variety and quite repetitive, but catering staff were very nice - they cooked vegetarian options if you asked. Room cleaning staff were also nice. Hotel staff in the reception weren't though."

"Staff were so helpful and kind, such a lovely hotel with great facilities! Close to walk by to take the ferry to Valletta - peaceful & quiet hotel "

"Ok place - don't expect much beyond just a bed to sleep the night on"

"Everything was perfect. The place, so clean, close to balluta bay, the details in the place… I would come back every single time. There is just one minor thing.. the tv is not smart so say bye to watch Netflix if you want to rest a bit. Other than that AMAZING is a small word for it "

"Reception Staff were unavailable and missing from time to time."

"Check in was great. Family room was massive it was like a Presidential Suite. No toiletries in bathroom, I would expect it to be there. On certain days no on picks up the phone eg reception, housekeeping which was frustrating. Room A/C doesn’t work properly, hair dryer and bathroom tub drain doesn’t work, disappointed. Breakfast was excellent, great selection of full English and continental, juices was poor it was watered down. Breakfast staff was good. Indoor pool was fantastic along with the steam/sauna. Hotel was indeed a palace, very spacious and very close to ferry terminal 8-10min walk. I would not rate this as a 5 star premium hotel. It’s lacking in some areas. But a very good stay although."
