I had a room on the 8th floor with a long balcony and a beautiful view of Valletta. The hotel is nicely located in Sliema with easy bus and ferry access. The room was large and the bathroom has a show and nice tub. Definite recommend.

Does not disappoint.

It's been long coming, as previous patrons of the old Fortina. We took note of the changes, but still loved the hotel for what it is. It's clean, comfortable, parking is cheap, the bar is quiet and well stocked and the restaurants are top notch. In what is today a multicultural society, we were also pleased and proud to note that in the main restaursnt, the chef is Maltese and there is a healthy mix of local and foreign staff.

Clean, comfortable, great views!

We stayed for three nights. We had a partial harbour view which was lovely. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful. The room is well equipped and comfortable. Not eco-friendly as they replaced our towels each day even though we hung them up, and only replaced the bathroom bits a couple of hours before we were checking out?? They did a lovely cake and free gift. Tora was also great for lunch with an amazing view and a walk through the labyrinth under the road to get there! Only a few minutes walk to the ferry terminal to go over to Valetta. Sleima is definately the tourist side, but has a great view and lots of restaurants. Would recommend!

The hotel is ideally situated for the marina, buses, shopping, all the staff are warm and friendly from reception, restaurant, housekeeping etc and have a nothing is too much trouble attitude. My birthday was made very special with a surprise cake and desert, and after a 3 week stay we would not hesitate in returning. Our sea view with balcony was excellent and every evening chocolates are brought to the room which is a very nice touch, and guests asked if they need anything. No faults with the hotel or service, but they could do with toilet facilities in the ground level for convenience. Not possible to name everyone, but would like to thank Goran Sachevski, Gabriella, and all the staff who we encountered with friendliness and warmth. .

Incredible view from our 11th floor premium sea view room overlooking the harbor and Valletta. Great staff, convenient location to great restaurants, the shopping mall, and the ferry to Valletta. Enjoyed the included access to the beach club across the street which was also accessible underground. Close to the Guadalupe Boat Bar & Bistro - our favorite hang out!

The reception staff were very kind and helpful. The standard room I stayed in was a generous size, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was a very good size too and had a bath tub as well as a shower. The amenities in the room was more than enough, the staff replenished our teas and coffees everyday including water. Only downside from our lovely experience, was the guests that were staying next door. They were very loud and kept us awake for most of the night. Playing loud music and sometimes arguing. We didn’t inform the hotel reception as it was our last night anyway. I am sure if we had mentioned to the hotel staff, they would have done something about it as they were so friendly and helpful always.
