Our short break in Malta
We stayed at this well located hotel for 5 nights to celebrate our 56th wedding anniversary. It was a memorable visit thanks to the hotel facilities, wonderful/helpful staff, perfect room and great views across the water of Valletta. Overall an excellent clean hotel, good breakfast selection and excellent service throughout.

5 star prices, definitely not 5 star treatment
5 star prices but definitely not 5 star treatment. Where do I start…
The staff were terrible, in particular the reception staff were not helpful at all. Anything that was asked seemed to be a great deal of inconvenience. The Italian reception girl was rude and customer service was poor. This definitely didn’t wasn’t the experience we were looking for and would not return.
We had the do not disturb sign on the door and staff entered in the evening time even though the house keeping had already cleaned the room earlier that day. The room was dull and no sun on the balcony. One positive was the bed was comfortable.
The fire alarm went off 3 separate occasions in our room. Also a building site next block with a lot of noise.
The pool was a joke. It was across the street, it’s not actually part of the hotel. The staff in the beach club/pool are rude too. The pool had to be booked the night before and u have to pick either an a.m or p.m slot or u were not guaranteed a sun lounger. It was hugely inconvenient. Even after booking some of the sun beds were in complete shade and others didnt have an umbrella and was fully exposed to the sun in a heat wave, no happy medium… The indoor pool was closed.
The spa dressing rooms had mould on them and paint peeling off the walls badly in need to be updated. The gym area had no water machines.
The area itself was filthy with rubbish everywhere including outside the beach club/ pool.
Breakfast was nice but staff let it down. In particular a lady supervisor giving out to her staff infront of the customers this happened more than one occasion during our stay
Not recommended
Absolute poor show of hotel..you need to book 24 hours in advance to use sun loungers at pool..staff are extremely rude.for the money you pay for this hotel.i have stayed all over the world and never heard of this before.i would certainly not recommend the barcelo..i am in in room 745.
A fabulous hotel in Malta

Highly recommend
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Malta. The hotel is modern, clean, and offers beautiful views. It was also nice to have the option of renting free sunbeds by the pool. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful
