The recently opened Barceló Fortina Hotel has some amazing views from those rooms facing Valletta. Rooms in the original tower facing the sea retain much of those views. Be warned some have a new balcony overhang which blocks your morning sun. The hotel is rated as 5* star but based on this visit is some way short of that standard. Positives are very friendly staff in most areas and a modern well appointed hotel stay. Areas for improvement include the buffet evening meal which is at best average. Examples include theme nights with no real connection to the food being offered? Please don’t pay the €45 per head there are too many better restaurants nearby. The advertised Beach club is a pool area across a busy road or down a winding tunnel with booming music aimed at a more trendy age group? As a hotel guest be prepared to argue for a good spot near the pool or me pushed out on the fringes. One positive is the food offered at the pool which was delicious and well priced. You have to pay by card or cash, a room number won’t cut it. We will stay again but hope that the points I made to the hotel are at least taken seriously as I was not the only guest to raise them.
