Good modern & spacious rooms. Excellent staff from reception to house keeping. This is our return hotel for the last 3years, brilliant location for all amenities including the Point shopping centre which is a 2 minute walk away. Largest and best shopping centre in Malta.
I would recommend this hotel for everyone, including couples & families.
Great staff, lovely Jr Suite with a pretty comfortable bed, awesome balcony/views all in a great location.
A few short-comings, but all were addressed.
Would stay again in a heartbeat, and recommend to others for sure!
Clean room, excellent amenities and super friendly staff. Also had a great gym!

On arrival receptionist was fabulous, gave us great information 👍
Lovely room, fab location, best gym hotel Ive visited. Good indoor & outdoor pool, would recommend.
The hotel was spotless, the room spacious and modern, the breakfast buffet one of the best, but the staff really stood out as courteous and very helpful. We couldn't fault this hotel and would stay here again
We loved it and have stayed before, lovely clean room and great location.
Only downside was that the heating in the hotel was on and it was very hot and we were told we couldn’t therefore use the aircon and to open our balcony door, unfortunately we were very close to the road so this made it very noisy.
Great location with friendly helpful staff. The room was big and very clean. Great amenities. Lovely place to relax and unwind with a great view of Valletta from the balcony. Will definitely stay here again. Also the shopping mall is next door!!
Really enjoyed our stay here. Got sunbeds no problem when we wanted including on the day. Staff were fantastic. Responsive to any requests. Loved how big the room and bathroom was. Great location and views. Would stay here again.
Good location. Really impressed with the room and breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Never quite worked out where the hotel parking was - but very close to a public car park which is a lot cheaper than hotel (6 vs 15 euros) - only downside is you have to move your car every day.
The room was beautifully decorated, with all the comforts we'd expect and more. The amenities at the hotel are great. Use of the gym for free was a real bonus for us and one of the main reasons for booking. It's a fantastic facility. Access to the outdoor pool at Manta was straightforward and another great bonus. However, the service at Manta leaves a lot to be desired, though I accept this is not likely anything to do with the hotel.
The view and location were what sold me on Barcelo. Cant beat a view across the water to fabulous viiew of Valletta. Location to restaurants and the ferry or other rental boats was great Our room was really huge and very modern. Our balcony was also a plus.
Worth the extra money to get a room with a view.
