Valletta Hotel Guide - The Oratory of St Francis hotels in Valletta, Malta.

"Brilliant location for walking to centre of Valletta or to ferries . It is also on a city circular town bus if tired at end of a day sightseeing. Very friendly staff who went out of their way eg to heat up some water for an evening Lemsip! Very good breakfast. Would definitely stay there again."

"Great breakfast and location , rooms are a bit dated but overall quite good experience "

"All was good"

"Everything was great. First class hotel with exceptional prices in the perfect location in Valletta. "

"Lovely clean and large rooms. Buffet breakfast which was more than adequate. I think staff were in training as there were so many staff around the breakfast area at times they were a hindrance "

"Great location in Centre of Valletta just off the main street. I would not say this has a boutique feel but it it is modern and clean. The bathroom is a bit tight for two and could do more space for toiletries. Room comes with an Iron and hairdryer but aren't great quality. Some of the staff could work on making the guests feel more welcomed. "

"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"
