Great location, staff was helpful and very much on top of everything. Only challenge was having to pre-book sun beds by the pool. While the pool itself was freely accessible the sun beds needed prior reservation and most times were fully booked. Other than that excellent stay! Also was happy with how close the hotel was to the ferry.

We only stayed for one night. The outdoor pool was lovely with a great atmosphere- upbeat dance music vibes. Sun bed reservations required but as we had just arrived mid afternoon there were some free so we were lucky. Food was excellent stayed half board, evening meal was possibly the best pre food we have ever had, breakfast was also fabulous with so much choice. Room perfect with a great balcony (although pretty small) looking over to Valletta.

Had the best time at Barcelo, the room was huge with a beautiful side sea view of Valletta. The breakfast was lovely, so much choice. Reserving the beds at Manta was easy enough at Reception for the next day. Spa was lovely and the Hammer Strength Gym was fantastic. Location great for restaurants and to get the ferry over to Valletta.

Check the pool times before you book! I didn't realise the pool is owned by a separate organisation; Manta Beach Club. Therefore hotel guests do not have round the clock access. There's a window of 10am to 6pm were you are allowed to use the facilities. During this time you're probably away from the hotel exploring Malta so may not get used of it. If I knew this I would have booked a different hotel

On a more positive note, the hotel is really nice. The staff are pleasant and housekeeping do a really good job in the morning and evening. The rooms are excellent; they're large, modern and have good sound proofing.

The hotel location is good. It's close to the ferries, bars and restaurants but away from the noise of the nightlife.

Final thing to note is the fridge in the room is just an empty fridge, sadly it's not a stocked mini bar. I expected a complimentary beer, small wine and a couple of soft drinks like other hotels I've stayed at. Oh well!

The property was very clean and well maintained, and all of the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The hotel is also in a great location, with easy access to transport links to Valletta, making it convenient for exploring the area.
The breakfast buffet was excellent with a huge variety of choices — definitely worth adding as an extra.
One thing worth noting is that the outdoor pool setup was a little different from how it appears in the online photos. The pool is actually located across the road as part of a beach club, and guests need to book sunbed slots either from 9am–2pm or 2pm–6pm. The front row closest to the water is reserved for the general public, so hotel guests cannot use those beds. You can access the area either by crossing the road or via the hotel’s underground corridors. Beach towels were conveniently provided by reception.

The room was very clean and open (we were upgraded for my birthday) we had a hot tub. We had a sea view with a balcony. Easy to get to, bus route and bolt was easy to access and a 20 min drive from the airport. The breakfast area gave us a wide variety of foods but not halal friendly but plenty of vegetarian options. Fresh fruits and juices every morning. Room was made everyday and kept clean. The ‘ina spa’ was very relaxing and clean, very inviting. The 2 masseuses that we had were very good! Got my knots out well! I would 100% recommend this hotel and would stay again!

Breakfast is excellent a really good choice and well stocked. The room was spacious and had everything we needed the down side of the room was a silly blue motion sensor light that goes off all the time and really disrupts sleep. The robes need replacing a bit rough and old. It says there is a 24 hour shuttle from airport when I booked but there is not. What was disappointing is the indoor pool and outdoor pool are managed by another provider and they let you know. No robes or slippers in the spa for hotel guests a massive cockroach in the sauna not even a sorry. Quite a long walk through basement to indoor pool so make sure you collect your towel from reception this was a bit of a pain. You also have to book your sun lounger a day ahead. The beachfront hotel guests aren’t allowed in the front rows or around the pool that’s reserved for everyone else so didn’t feel like a five star. Tea and coffee provided in room but no biscuits but a nice chocolate and a turndown 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.....

Breakfast is amazing and very friendly staff through out the hotel. The gym is a commercial one open to the public which means it was very well equipped and maintained, suitable for every type of gym user. The gym also has an indoor pool which we did not use so cannot comment on it.
We had a room on the 6th floor with a view of the harbour and Valletta. The room was cleaned daily and refreshments (tea and coffee) replenished daily. Some of the rooms on the front of the hotel looked like they were in the shade all day and a view of the building in front.
The outdoor pool looks like a rooftop pool from the pictures but is at sea level. This was not an issue and was excellent just thought it was going to be a roof top pool. Also, the outdoor pool does not belong to the hotel but is privately owned ‘Manta’ and only a limited number of beds are allocated to hotel guest. These beds are free to use but have to be booked the day before. The ‘Manta’ is an excellent venue we had snacks and poolside drinks there everyday, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Overall the whole facility is well run and managed, the combination of hotel owned and privately owned facilities makes for an excellent 5 star experience.
Thoroughly recommend. Will be returning when we can

Great hotel and staff! We were welcomed by very friendly staff and offered Prosecco and juice upon arrival at reception. The room was clean and very spacious (double room with balcony and hot tub).There was also a complimentary bottle of bubbly in an ice bucket in the room and some sweet treats. We had already made the hotel aware that one of us was coeliac and the head chef met us each morning to take the order for breakfast. This included freshly made omelettes, pancakes with bacon, gluten free bread, muffins and pastries. The regular buffet breakfast was incredibly vast, fresh and very tasty. All tastes were catered for.

We made use of the pool, sauna and spa facilities and would highly recommend a head, neck, shoulder and back massage. The staff throughout were very friendly and could not have done more. We wouldn’t hesitate returning to this hotel.

The room was more spacious than I was expecting and had a touch of luxury about it. I can't fault the buffet breakfast and facilities available. It felt value for money.

The staff who worked for the hotel were lovely, so it was a shame that the external staff at the shared facilities (Ina and Manta) were often unfriendly and unhelpful.

I also found it bizarre that the hotel didn't deter large groups of local teenagers from hanging around the front of the hotel and even the bar balcony area for several hours.

Clean and spacious, with good facilities. Staff were polite and generally helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good. The pool and poolside area is independent from the hotel and reached through a tunnel under the main road. You have to get a reservation ticket to use the sunbeds, and only a proportion of the sunbeds are allowed for hotel users.
We asked for adjoining and if possible connecting rooms in advance, and received an acknowledgement of this: \"room allocations next to each other is subject to availability on the day of your arrival. While we cannot guarantee it, we will certainly take a note of your request and do our best to accommodate you.\" On arrival we were assigned rooms that were 4 floors apart, one of which had a connecting door to another room. How hard is it for a modern hotel to reserve two adjoining or connecting rooms in advance? We consider this poor customer service; very disappointing.

However, the service at Manta leaves a lot to be desired, though I accept this is not likely anything to do with the hotel.

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.

There is no outdoor pool for guests only, you have to share with a beach club where they put hotel guests in a hot dirty corner.
To call this property five star is a joke. Don’t waste your money, stay at either the Phoenicia (more expensive) or 1926 (less expensive), but both are far superior.
The only positive I can come up with is that they have an excellent bartender at the hotel bar.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Hype

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent stay left much to be desired. While the hotel appears promising online, the actual experience didn’t match the marketing.
•The pool area is severely misrepresented. The pool beds for hotel guests are nothing like the promotional photos — they’re far less appealing and must be reserved a day in advance, which isn’t disclosed clearly. They shouldn’t be advertised as part of the stay if access is this limited.
•Cable service was unreliable, frequently cutting in and out.
•My shower flooded every time I used it, making the bathroom messy and uncomfortable.
•Housekeeping was inconsistent — daily water wasn’t replenished, and after using the provided shower cap, it was removed and never replaced.
•I attempted to call the front desk multiple times, but no one ever answered.
•The hair dryer is oddly stored in a closet with a very short and restrictive cord, making it awkward to use.
•Lastly, be warned: if you open your curtains, neighboring rooms can see directly inside, offering little to no privacy.

This stay felt frustrating and underwhelming, especially for the price point. I wish I stayed somewhere else.

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

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!

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.
