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.

I love this location and hotel. Staff were amazing. Cleaning crew were amazing twice a day. One think I want to tell pool is not part of hotel and you get some disappointment where you can be in pool area.

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!

Staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nice clean room with large bathroom decent sized shower. There was a blue sensor light on the ceiling which did disturb sleep as it lit up with the slightest of movement and the ceiling was too high to cover the light temporarily. Stayed in March so too cold and windy to enjoy balcony which had a partial sea view and view of Valetta. Room service overall was good, but some issues getting tea and coffee to cover both an evening drink and morning, though this eventually got sorted. Also found balcony door had been left partially open on one occasion after room had been serviced. Indoor pool hours could be better but would meet most people’s needs. Outdoor pool was a good size, though sadly didn’t get a chance to use it. Good sized gym with lots of equipment on offer. The lobby was lacking atmosphere and there was nowhere to sit and have a drink. The bar area is across the road and down a level as it forms part of the outdoor pool area, but a small bar in the lobby would get passing trade as well as make a nice pit stop before heading to room. Didn’t use restaurant or have breakfast as lots of options for food and drink in the general Sliema area.
