Despite its claim of being a premier four star hotel, the Fortina Hotel comes across as a run-down seedy establishment in urgent need of total refurbishment and professional staff training, and by doing so does little to enhance Malta’s reputation as a quality tourist destination. The first room we were shown was no 102. A great view of Valletta but... More

Just back from a sunny but rather windy Malta. Having read some of the previous reviews I was a tad concerned about standards in the hotel but our garden view room on the third floor was excellent. It was spacious - two double beds - clean and well furnished.(settee, coffee table, flat- screen t.v., fridge and modern décor).We even received... More

Like MikeSutton ( below ), we've just returned from a week at the Fortina and had a wonderful time. Room 305 had clearly been recently refurbished and was more than adequate. A fridge and safe were provided as part of the package... we had to pay extra for these on a supposedly all-inclusive holiday in Cyprus last year. The view... More

A bit surprised by some of the recent negative reviews. We had a great stay there! Our room - 507 - must be one of the refurbished ones? Furniture is basic, big comfortable bed laminate flooring and modern bathroom. Room size good and all very clean. Sat often on the balcony taking in the view - seaview is south facing... More

We had the misfortune to recently spend a week in this hotel. The deluxe room on the 8th floor which I had paid extra for wasn't habitable, it was wet and stank of damp. There was towels on the corridor to soak up the damp! The walls & carpets were wet to the touch. We were given the alternative of... More

This an old, poorly maintained and unrenovated hotel in a fantastic location right on the seafront in Sliema with wonderful views across the harbour towards historic Valetta. Our room (207) was very old, sruffy, disjointed IKEA style furniture, only one bedside table and bedside light switch hidden low behind the head board. Bathroom: Ancient, shabby, tiny. Balcony: Tiny, but glorious... More

Had a very pleasant 2 week stay at the Fortina (4*). We had booked a standard garden view room as quietness is important to us. We were upgraded to a deluxe garden view on arrival. The room was very large with 2 doubles, comfy sofa and large, clean bathroom. The TV had few English channels but BBC world news was... More

Stayed here for half board. Food was very good. Fantastic selection for both breakfast and dinner. Staff were helpful in the restaurant and accommodated our request for an early breakfast one morning. Room was small but clean. Good location also. Bar in the hotel closed at 9 every night. Which we felt was very early. Also staff didn't know which... More
