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.

Dear Jack,Thank you for your review.We are delighted to learn that the attentiveness of our staff, the cleanliness of the room, and the comfort of the large bed were highlights of your stay. It is gratifying to know that these aspects contributed positively to your overall experience at Barceló Fortina Malta. The thoughtful touch of chocolates is one of the many ways we aim to make our guests' stays special, and we are pleased you enjoyed this gesture.We regret to hear that the pillows provided in your room did not meet your expectations. Our variety of pillows are chosen to cater to different preferences. Moreover, we are sorry to hear about your experience with the noise and the positioning of the hairdryer.

Location: it’s in a convenient location and easy to get around by walking to shops, high street, supermarket and restaurants. Even meeting points for sightseeing tours/trips was perfect! Hotel facilities: Still some improvements to be made, access to the outdoor pool is somewhat a trek (however underground) and access card is needed to and from pool. Shame the indoor pool is restricted as no kids allowed, shame I missed this prior but thankfully the weather was nice so didn’t inconvenience much. Room: The room was clean and spacious, the rug could’ve done with some cleaning/shampooing but the bed was perfect and comfortable so sleep was great! Cleaning: the staff were mostly attentive and friendly when tidying however they missed replenishing towels and emptying the bins which I had to ask them to do. Bathroom: the rain shower in the ceiling appears to be a huge mistake in their planning and the handheld function only caused more water to flood the bathroom floor. Air Conditioning: this didn’t work initially and there was a problem with it as was still on heating mode and centrally controlled so uncomfortable first night but it was eventually resolved next day, but was soon heating up again so no consistency in cooling and became uncomfortable. The repetitive interference and having to phone reception was a distraction from holiday relaxation. They attempted to move me and my little one but at a cost which was unfair @ €20 but thankfully the AC was fixed.

Dear Karen Karissa,We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with us.We are delighted to learn that our strategic location greatly contributed to the enjoyment of your trip, and that the spaciousness and comfort of your room provided a restful night's sleep. Your kind words regarding the attentiveness and friendliness of our staff are much appreciated and affirm our commitment to exceptional hospitality. We at Barceló Fortina Malta remain dedicated to creating memorable stays for our guests, complete with the beautiful views and first-class services that we pride ourselves on.The issue with the air conditioning arose because we have certain seasonal standards programmed for the temperature of all rooms. During this particular season, adjustments may be made to the temperature settings to accommodate external factors such as weather conditions. Unfortunately, it appears that these adjustments led to discomfort during your stay, and for that, we apologize.We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back on future occasions.Best regards,Barcelo Fortina Malta, Guest Experience Team

The hotel has been recently refreshed and the rooms are large and well appointed. The bed is unusually large. Beautiful views across the bay of Valetta, but beware, the rooms in the building at the back mostly face into a courtyard with very limited views. Use the tunnel to connect to the bars, pool and deckchairs next to the water for the best views of Valetta on the island. Amazing. We had a great time but if I had to be picky: - the bar on the first floor is not cozy and faces into a metal walkway. The lighting is way too bright which ruins the ambiance and reduces the views of Valetta even more as the windows become like mirrors at night. Rather use the options next to the waterside. - Breakfast is disproportionately. Rather walk 5 minutes to one of many other coffee shops/eateries

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!

Dear Eugen,We sincerely regret the inconveniences experienced during your stay at our hotel. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services.At this time of the year, it is important to note that the outdoor temperature during the night tends to be around 12 to 13 degrees Celsius. For this reason, our central system is set in heating mode during winter rather than air conditioning, as we aim to maintain a comfortable environment considering the weather conditions. We regret that the internal temperature of around 22 degrees was uncomfortable for your rest.We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this situation and that our maintenance team could not provide you with alternatives to improve your stay. Likewise, we have taken note of your comment about the absence of items like Kleenex or similar, and we will strive to improve our supplies for future stays.We appreciate your comments and assure you that we will work on the mentioned areas to improve our services. If you decide to give us another opportunity, we would be delighted to welcome you again and ensure that your stay is much more pleasant.Sincerely,Barcelo Fortina Malta, Operations Manager

De kamers zijn mooi groot en in nette staat, helaas is na het nemen van een douche de kamer veranderd in een zwembad. Nu kan dit gebeuren in een net geopend hotel maar het personeel heeft overduidelijk geen opleiding hospitality genoten. In de ochtend om 06:30 probleem gemeld en na het werk om 21:00 was er niks ondernomen. Het personeel staat er schaapachtig bij te kijken en schouder ophalend. Heeft nog 2 uur geduurd voor er nieuwe kamers geregeld waren. We waren er voor werk en het bleek ook onmogelijk om 3 kamers gefactureerd te krijgen op 1 factuur. Vervolgens ben ik nu al een dag bezig om mijn deposit van € 450 terug te krijgen. Totaal geen capabel personeel echt doodzonde van in potentie een mooi hotel op prima lokatie. Overigens zou het ook best prettig zijn als personeel zijn verontschuldigingen aanbied en met oplossingen komt ipv alles nog erger te maken. Kortom mooi hotel maar zou ze overslaan tenzij je het leuk vind om van de regen in de drup te komen.
