Incredible view from our 11th floor premium sea view room overlooking the harbor and Valletta. Great staff, convenient location to great restaurants, the shopping mall, and the ferry to Valletta. Enjoyed the included access to the beach club across the street which was also accessible underground. Close to the Guadalupe Boat Bar & Bistro - our favorite hang out!

The reception staff were very kind and helpful. The standard room I stayed in was a generous size, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was a very good size too and had a bath tub as well as a shower. The amenities in the room was more than enough, the staff replenished our teas and coffees everyday including water. Only downside from our lovely experience, was the guests that were staying next door. They were very loud and kept us awake for most of the night. Playing loud music and sometimes arguing. We didn’t inform the hotel reception as it was our last night anyway. I am sure if we had mentioned to the hotel staff, they would have done something about it as they were so friendly and helpful always.

We had a sea view room. I would say the view over the harbour to Valletta is definitely worth the extra. The hotel is well situated for local transport. There is an outdoor pool and bar on the waterfront which really allows you to take in the wonder of the harbour area.

Our stay was overall pleasant. The hotel is in a great location on the Sliema side, with a bus stop and ferry stops conveniently nearby. The room itself was nice, and we appreciated the twice-daily room cleaning service, which was a lovely touch. However, the soundproofing could be improved, as noise from the neighboring room was disruptive at times. The food offered a variety of options, but the quality was average. Unfortunately, there were very few vegetarian options, and no lactose-free milk was available, which was disappointing. Additionally, a male supervisor in the restaurant was quite intense and intrusive, often making unnecessary comments to guests, which detracted from the dining experience. On a brighter note, Fatima from Spain, part of the restaurant staff, was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which we truly appreciated. A lovely surprise during our stay was a chocolate cake to celebrate my birthday—even though we hadn’t mentioned it. This thoughtful gesture was much appreciated. Thank you!

On arrival at the hotel, we were oiffered a glass of prosecco at check in and then upgraded to a superior room This was a break to celebrate our ruby wedding, although I had not informed the hotel, so this came as a pleasant surprise. The room was huge with a moden decor and nice furnishings. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed, There were robes and slippers in the wardrobe for use and two balconies, one with a partial sea view and the other huge balcony with its own hot tub and furniture. The bed was probably the largest and most comfortable I have slept on. All staff were helpful, smart and polite and the breakfast buffet was again the best I have seen, with a tremendous choice of food to suit all tastes. The location was excellent, being right across the harbour from Valletta and within 100 metres of the ferry. Beautiful views of Valletta at night. The hotel is in a perfect location, being in an area with nice restaurants, bars and shops, so plenty of choice. It is also a few minutes away from Valletta with all its history and culture. We had a fantastic stay at the Barcelo and it has everything you could want from a resort hotel. Thank you for making our trip so special.

A modest but elegant hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Provided great recommendations for restaurant and shopping options. Access to the lounge chairs across the street facing the water is a big bonus! Arranged for our early ride to the airport. Lots of construction noise though, but this will end and the facilities will be that much better.
