Hotel Fortina

Nice location, good transport connections and hotel services...

I made reservation for the see view, but in the end I was looking the city roofs. That was something that disappointed me a lot. The price was the same. There is no enough places for parking. You must have some hotel tickets not to pay parking in front of the hotel.

Location was just perfect, close to the ferry to valletta, close to shopping district in sliema

Room was very small (114), bed mattress was in very bad condition, noisy in the mornings when all guest pass it on the way to the lifts (small and slow), housekeeping likes to 'move' things and put them where she wants them to be, breakfast every day same choice, spa next door is very expensive we pay less in our back home in wimbledon, london

The variety of food options

Lack of washing dispensers in ensuite, had to ask three times for a cot

Front of the 4star hotel has view of Valletta fortifications, good evening promenade along harbour coast, 4 pools and the restaurants are shared with 5star resort&spa hotel. Rooms are spacious, buffet breakfast has variety and good food. 5 minute walk to buses for other towns, harbour cruises and some shopping.

Seaview could be harbour view (highly preferable) or from the back of hotel, a strip of sea at the horizon above newly built or being built buildings and view is through half a dozen construction cranes. There was a waterleak in the hall of our floor near light fixtures, we were told they had somebody fixing it. We worried about eletrical problems all night and woke up to drenched floor carpets, walls and cielings. In the morning water was still dripping from cieling. Happy to check out. Light fixture fell from the cieling near elevator missing me by one step forward. Furniture in one room was old (from the 80s) and mattresses was springy and squeeky, toilet seat yellow with age. Minimal TV stations.

the upgraded room was spacious and a brilliant view over the garden, the salt water swimming pool aided the lesser swimmer

slow lifts, food and drinks expensive

Hotel Fortina is selling a product thay don´t have. We booked a room there because we checked the web, and there we found pictures of beutiful new and clean rooms. When we arrived there, we faced the truth: a dirty, old, small, and smelly room.

Great view over the harbour and La Valetta. Quiet location and kind staff

Elevators doesn't work properly we had to use the staff elevator once and again. Furnishement and facilities are a bit out of date.

the place, near to Valetta (10 min bus or ferry) and the view form the room.The hotel also has two nice swimming pools and a nice garden.The staff was very polite and helpful

The furniture and decoration of the standard rooms is oldish, the bathroom is tiny and the ceiling (in the bathroom) had some strange spots (probably humidity).The superior rooms looked nicer, bigger and their furniture and decoration was nicer but these rooms are more expensive.

Wonderful view over creek and Valletta

The view was a highlight for us and convenient for boat trips and Valletta.

The foyer was disappointing.

Very friendly staff, we were upgraded to a great room which was a great surprise as we booked at a very interesting rate. So we were very lucky and had a very pleasant stay.

breakfast was too much oriented to British visitors. Swimming pool could only be accessed via the 5star hotel which was not that convenient.

Great location, rooms with seaview have a fantastic view, great deal to have access to the restaurants of the 5-star at 25% discount and nice swimming pool by the sea.

With the exception of the manager (Geilke), the staff is not very good and doesn't have much information required. We arrived in the evening and the room with seaview we had booked was not available. They tried to give us a deluxe room with garden view and convince me that such upgrade was best deal for us. I wanted sea view and insisted.
