"This was our third visit to the Barcelo Fortina - we visited twice last year and returned this April with friends. However, we had noticed a couple of things that will deter us from booking again. Firstly, I have to say that the staff and rooms are truly excellent - staff are friendly, helpful and faultless. A couple of things riled us at this visit. The friends that we brought along with us needed some extra milk for their tea in their room ( they leave two small sachets only) and when they requested the milk, the bar said that there would be a charge for it! The second and more unpleasant aspect was when we went to try and get sun loungers by the pool.... we were told when we arrived that they had to be booked a day ahead. However, one afternoon, we thought we would risk it and see if there was anything available as we thought some people may have vacated by then. We asked at the pool reception and told that it would cost 120 euros to have a sunbed! We walked away confused. We then went to reception to BOOK a sunbed for the following day,,, duly arrived with our slip of paper and told we were only allowed a sunbed furthest away from the sea and the pool with only the back of peoples heads as a view even though there were plenty of better sited beds available. It seems that as we were hotel residents, and as the pool area is now not owned by the hotel, there are only a few sunbeds reserved for hotel guests. Sadly, we will be looking for a different hotel next year....."

"The rooms are spacious and the showers are powerful, although the rooms are a bit dated. The hotel is in a great position a few minutes walk from the Triton fountain. The buffet breakfast has a great variety and all well presented. The staff are all so friendly and very helpful. The outdoor pool area is very spacious and there are plenty of sunbeds available. The only downside of the hotel is there are a lot of steps or a steep climb from the hotel to the Main Street so not ideal if you have walking difficulties We have stayed here before and will stay again in the future."

"Great location comfortable clean spacious rooms"

"Awesome hotel with with very friendly staff"

"Overall average stay. Problems included: no microwave, really warm room at some points with no solution as AC system couldn't be controlled by the staff (?), hot water got cut off multiple times in the room so couldn't shower, no locks on bathroom door, lack of hangers and hooks, and a bad toilet flush. Breakfast was decent, not too much variety and quite repetitive, but catering staff were very nice - they cooked vegetarian options if you asked. Room cleaning staff were also nice. Hotel staff in the reception weren't though."

"YES"

"Stayed five nights with family whilst attending a wedding. Ronaldo was great at check-in and most helpful. Rooms are spacious and well equipped with iron, hair dryer, slippers and robes. Restaurant offers great choice of food and drink with plenty of staff available to serve and clear up. Had a sea view room with view of pools and then bay. Overall can fault the hotel. Just a shame about all the building works in the vicinity but otherwise an enjoyable stay. May have had a slightly conscientious room maid for our son's room who seemed to have thrown away a bottle cap for one of his creams and plastic sleeves for a couple of his clothing items, but otherwise rooms were cleaned well."

"Had our own Airport transportation sorted privately through Expedia. Very easy to find and efficient. The Hotel stay was really great. The staff, super helpful and efficient, Julia and Smriti both went over and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Julia suggested ideas for places to visit and helped us with our travel admin. Smriti dealt with our transfer details for the airport, even taking us to the collection point for the cab. Thank you ladies for your dedication and commitment to your work . The room was lovely and clean, the breakfast also very tasty and had everything you could ever want. Well done Hotel Palozzo Rosaria Boutique. A BIG thank you all round!!!"

"Great location near St John’s Co-Cathedral and city center,,yet the room was completely quiet because of thick walls. Great water pressure in the shower. Super friendly and helpful staff, especially Rana and Arnaldo. Lovely Maltese breakfast buffet on the terrace with views over the city. Highly recommend."
